Let's see what our prisoners have to say about this place before we go any further.

Erwin will wake up one of the men, removing his gag so he can be questioned.

Otis -Fighter

Otis stands beside Erwin, ready to throttle the prisoner back into unconsciousness if he does anything silly.

A wide-eyed warrior awakes and looks about the room. He mutters something unintelligible. (Evidently, you are lacking a knowledge of his language.)

He stares about the room, trying to make sense of it. A questioning look comes over his face.

Actions?

Erwin will see if the man understands common.

What is your name? Why were you hunting us?

The man responds to Erwin, haltingly in broken common, "My name is Frieg of the Daggoth and you are on our land. You killed our warriors! Let me go and go back to your people!"

Actions?

You attacked us first, we won't let you go back to your people. You will come back with us. What is this place?

Erwin describes where they are and hopes their captive can provide any information.

ooc: We may need to get these men back to Isprey and come back by ourselves if we want to explore this place.

I think he’d try to sacrifice us to Daggoth if anything, observes the hobbit.

Fungo lets Erwin and the others question the captive while he searches the doors for traps. He will attempt to open the one to the right of the entrance if it seems safe to him.

Otis - Fighter
Feeling bad for the man for a moment, Otis softens his tone and says "Your tribes have been raiding the villages near Osprey, killing and taking captives for the sea demon guy, they ain't doin' nothin' to your people. Why are you attacking them? You better think before you start talkin' or your words'll be your last."

Otis stares a hard stare at the warrior, waiting for an answer.

OOC: Our mission was to spy on them (or a large village) get a rough count of how many warriors (we got that) and try to determine what they were doing. So we've kind of completed our mission, I think if we brought prisoners that'd be icing on the cake, but first we've got to survive and make it to our taxi tonight.

The warrior looks away from Otis, unable to meet his gaze. He mumbles in prayer..."Dagon orr'e goka sll'ha ron fhtagn"

Fungo searches the door on the right...the east door with the rising sun. He finds no traps and puts a shoulder to it. It does not budge under the weight of a lone hobbit.

Actions?

Well, that's a lost cause, says Fungo and he tries the door to the west. Same routine.
