A terrified-looking guard, unarmoured, but armed with a sword, pops out from behind the barrel.

GUARD:
"Oh, thank Verhu it's you, boss! I thought it was them! They've taken over the castle! I was hoping to escape, before they arrived, but it's too late! We're trapped down here! It's only a matter of time before they find their way down and slay us all!"
"Kingdoms and empires pass away like mist from the sea; the people shout and triumph and even in the revelry of Belshazzar's feast, the Medes break the gates of Babylon."

:shock:

I’ll slink back round the corner out of sight while Malaiz responds.

I'll try giving him a surprise uppercut. Violence is often the best solution.

As the guard approaches, Malaiz socks him in the jaw.

He staggers back, clutching his face.

GUARD:
"What the hell, boss?!"

He glares at the hermit in shock and rage.

GUARD:
"Wait a minute...you're not Wemut! DIE YOU SCUM!"

He draws his blade and charges at Malaiz!


Malaiz, test Agility to avoid the blow! d20+4

I'd like to listen to any sounds coming from the stairway to see if I can tell what the "they" he referred to might be; monster or human?

Isn't the castle in the process of being assaulted by an undead army?

Any chance I can plead for my life and while he looks away in disgust someone can bury an axe in his skull?

Hearing the violence unfolding, I'll charge round the corner again and try to attack his sword arm, with the intent of disarming him. As I'm doing this I'll call out "Try and take him alive, he might know more!" (while fully expecting the party to gank him from every angle before he's hit the floor).
