That should work.

*Hands Affy the 3 of Sprockets.*
Got any Jacks?

But there are at least 21 Gobolds in there and, um, many fewer of us. Mind you, I suspect we have superior fire power. 
Actually, I had an elaborate plan ready, where I fly in as a bat and up through the hole in the roof, go get Amy, bring her back to the hole, attach a rope to Amos's cage and the other end to the hook on the DragonflyBot, cut the chain holding the cage somehow and have Amy lift Amos away through the hole. I'm pretty sure the cage would fit through the hole.
But the frontal attack would be much more fun.
I suggest one of us make a beeline for the leader, though. Once we get him, the others should surrender. Maybe.

*Approaches the side tunnel.*
You! Slave! Stop backing away. What's so interesting down that passage, eh?
*Brings up his crossbow, ready to fire. Passes the corner and is now framed in the opening. Peers into side tunnel.*
Okay, come out of there, whoever you are.

Got any....deuces?

*hears voices outside the room and takes another swig from the hip flask. Understands the meaning of being in a cage with a pile of sticks under it and has been debating the best purpose of a call of nature*
*now sees his moment and hopes the timing is right*
To absent friends! *unzips and aims successfully for the King Gobold's head*
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
*chaos and screaming ensues, since screaming is the only way the Gobolds can think of to keep from laughing*
*only the King Gobold is REALLY screaming*
*meanwhile, two rat-ants have arrived at the top of the hole using a small tunnel that holds the winch and pulley*

*Affy draws a card*
Ah! Now I've got all four threes!
*Lays down the book of cards*
Are we playing so that I still lost my turn, or that I can keep playing when someone completes a set?

Witty Moniker Posted Jan 27, 2004
Go ahead and keep your turn. It's more interesting that way.
*Has a sneaking suspicion Affy is about to have an incredible run of luck.*

*Passes the four of Spanners and the four of Drills to Affy.*

*GL changes to bat form and flutters around the head of the Red-Shirted Gobold, creating a distraction.
GL yells: *
Okay, someone skewer this guy, or carmelize him, or squirt him or glock him or...
*But all the others hear is:*
Squeak squeek squeek squeek...

*ingites her carameliser and a freezing jet hits Red Shirt*

Red-Shirted Gobold Posted Jan 27, 2004
*The freezing jet catches Red Shirt in the shoulder and spins him around. He manages to fire his crossbow as he turns and the bolt ricochets off the wall of the tunnel. He crouches on one knee and hurriedly tries to reload.*

Garius Lupus Posted Jan 27, 2004
*Continues to fly around the head of the Gobold, who swats at him every now and then.*
Squeek squeek squeek squeek!
(which, if you spoke bat, would translate as: Whoa! Watch your aim there, Caer. Nearly frosted a wing!)

Go fish, Affy.
It seems like Titania has been gone an awfully long time.

Coniraya Posted Jan 27, 2004
just realised I shouldn't have said the jet 'hits' Red Shirt, but rather aimed for him, sorry
What's that squeaking noise?
