Good shot, Dieter! Highbough approves! [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]coffee wrote:Dieter slaps him on the head. Hard.
"Learn to read!" he roars, right in the little g o b s h i t e's face. "That's Olaf, not offal! And he's a far better man than you'll ever be!
"And my name is Dieter! Not Dier! Learn it! Or your tenure here will be even shorter than you are!"
Then he stands back and surveys his intimidation results.

Josiane comes hurrying downstairs, sword at her side and shield slung on her back.
She is about to head towards the secret passage when she becomes aware of the commotion at the gate and sees Guntrum watching Dieter clobbering an elderly goblin while its fellows cringe in anticipation of similar treatment.
"What in the Saint's name..?" she murmurs incredulously.
And then she is out of the door, striding purposefully towards the giant Fighting-Man, her grey eyes flashing fire.
She looks back quickly at Guntrum; "The secret door in the ballroom! Tell Dorgan and the others we have visitors!" she hisses at him frantically.
Then she shoots off in the direction of Dieter and his oppressed masses like an outraged Magic Missile...

Ulric looks for the others to let them know their "help" has arrived.
"Our servants appear to have arrived," he says, "and good news, they're goblins. Dieter appears to be getting them in line however."
Ulric sees Gustave gathering his weapons and donning armor.
"What is going on?"

Guntrum moves to carry out Josianne's instructions. He needs to balance speed with caution, so grabs his sword if time permits (not sure what he's wearing or how long it would take him to suit up). If he doesn't see light in the tunnel, he'll need a candle or torch as well.

"That - is - ENOUGH!!" cries Josiane in furious tones.
She plants herself between Dieter and the quaking goblins, squaring up to the big warrior, her hands on her hips and fire in her eyes.
For all her apparent anger she picks her words carefully.
"It is no secret, Master Dieter, that certain members of this company are bigoted, bullying louts, but I cannot allow this passage of behaviour to go unchallenged. These folk have been open and honest in their approach to us and courteous in their behaviour. Is it completely beyond you to respond in kind, or must you continue to behave as if you were born in a stall?"
Shooting him one more furious look she turns her attention to the goblins, showing what appears to be a very genuine concern.
"I cannot apologise enough. This behaviour is quite inexcusable. I can only ask your pardon."
To Bennug: "If you will permit me I will be happy to tend your injury. It is the least I can do in the circumstances. And then perhaps you and your fellow staff would be so kind as to accompany me on a tour of the premises. Starting with the grounds, perhaps?"
She flashes the elderly goblin what she hopes is her prettiest smile...

While Josiane and Dieter are having their "discussion", at the front gate (in relatively open view of any street traffic, of which -- perhaps fortunately -- there is very little at this time), Gustave has fetched his gear and returned to the ball room, as has Guntram.
Gustave and Guntram peer at the tiny little opening at the back of the great gothic fireplace. How a grown Man is meant to get in there is a bit of a mystery... and Gustave realises, as he affixes the last strap of his new breastplate, that there is no way he'll get in there in full armour. Even trying would cause all manner of scuffs and scratches to his glorious mail.
Clearly a job for Halflings.

Dieter, Josiane & Co; The Front Gate
Bennug nods his head slightly to Josiane, "Very kind, Madame, I'm sure," he says, "However, we are instructed to answer to Master Dieter, and Master Olaf, who have an agreement with the Traders Concourse, as I'm sure you can appreciate." he gives a little bow.
"My staff and I are at your disposal, Sir," he says to angry Dieter, with what might be construed as unhappy emphasis on that last word.

"That's better," Dieter growls at the little butler. "Put your people to work and then report to me on what, if any, we have to eat and drink around this place."
He eyes Josiane coldly.
"I shall deal with you later," he says, then strides off to the sitting room to await the butler's report.
