"Those hobgoblins that fell with my last spell will not be incapacitated for long," Ulric warns. "We need to dispatch them before they regain consciousness. I might be able to kill them with more flame, or perhaps we could use a more conventional approach...oil and a torch. Either way we need to kill these beasts quickly or else we will never get out of here."

Ulric studies the range between the portcullis and those he put to sleep to see if they are in range of The Sufferance.

Pelenwin stands with his pole axe between the bars of the gate. "I will defend you in your exit, my friends."

Once he's able to worm his way through the bars, Dieter will race off to the sleeping hobgoblins and start dispatching them.

When things start looking dicey for him, he'll use his ring to return to friendly territory (most likely the battlement, so he can fire his sling.)

Olaf remains atop the battlements, ready with his bow. He will move around to make sure none of the enemy come in from one of the sides.

He is already worrying that the Hobgoblins might try to lay siege to the gatehouse, "We don't have the food to last out a siege." he mutters to himself.

Indeed, Highbough's wisdom pays off almost immediately, for once the hobgoblins have retreated beyond bowshot, they flee no farther.

Instead, they turn about, and under harsh commands of their Captain they set their shields into a make-shift wall in the earth and then take up watch from behind its protection.

One of the wolf-riders takes specific instructions from his Captain before bolting off into the canyon-lands at great speed...

Olaf nods toward the departing wolf-rider and says, "Sending off for reinforcements, I'll bet."

"Highbough, we can't stay here and last out a siege" Olaf says, "We're almost out of food and I don't think anyone has found *water* in this place."

"If they bottle us up in here, we're going to get awfully hungry and thirsty very soon." he continues.

Desmond whispers, "Don't worry, Olaf. Wibert here says he knows a secret way out!"

He smiles and winks, apparently happy as a clam as he looks out over the battlements (currently standing on a rock so as to see better). It must be the fresh air.

KOCH grins at Desmond, "My guess is that most of us won't want to leave without the treasure cart."

KOCH then looks to Olaf, "We should make a plan and quickly." KOCH moves down the stairway towards the porticullis.

"Plan?" hisses Highbough "The 'plan' is we hold the high ground and fight these parasites to the death." He expectorates a wad of elderly Elf spittle over the battlements at the sleeping Hobgoblins below.

"The treasure, yes." Olaf nods, "The cart only to make carrying it easier."

"Right!" Olaf agrees, "You go talk it over with the others, we'll keep watch up here."

"Yeah, but what if they just sit out there and keep us in here?" Olaf asks then answers his own question, "We'll have to go out to fight them, or starve."

Olaf adds, "We might be able to take them right now, but if that rider is going for reinforcements, we might not be able to take them later."
