Tomeal ignores Mardak's juvenile comments. Noting to himself that the man's tongue is always sharper toward him than it is to anyone else who mentions the incident, which was curious. He had even given Mardak opportunities to redeem himself by carrying Betimi's equipment that was once being carted by her mule companion which she sacrificed for him. But instead the Hexblade ignored her burden. Then when Tomeal offered his shoulder for her equipment Mardak shook his head as if he was being an idiot for helping her. It seems he cannot win with the Hexblade so he vows to now stop trying.
"Actually Mardak, I wasn't speaking to you. I was addressing the people who would have remembered when the Kobold's were having their conversation. You know, when you were near death from being tossed around like a mewling kitten. So instead of flapping your gums, or acting out to get attention from the pretty ladies, why don't you listen for once. You might learn something." With that Tomeal returns to his conversation with the other adults.
When Jonath says he hears something from behind the door and the group decides to look inside, Tomeal takes a position near the front to absorb any incoming attacks that could severely injure the squishier party members. He owed them his life so even if he dies in this place he will still have lived a day longer then he would have, for which he will be eternally greatful.
[Tomeal is going fully defensive.]
The warrior nods to Jonath that he's ready.
The gnome stealthily moves the board which is threaded through the door's handles. Then when everyone is ready he throws the doors open and jumps out harms way. Inside you all see a roughly 20'x20' room with four beds lining the opposite two walls. There's a small table and a couple of chairs that are overturned as well a crude tapestry which depicts open jaws with large teeth painted in blood red. It appears to have been defaced and now hangs in tatters. On each of the beds you see seven people tied up. Everyone appears either dead or unconscious except for one child who screams through her gag while tears stream down her dirty cheeks.
