What if I kill the last goblins that flees in A Fortress Besieged

[Andremdk]

So, I'd like to know what would happened if I chase that almost dead goblin that jumps from the tower... maybe I get something from him... My game is saved afterwards his flee.

You will...kill the last goblins that flees in A Fortress Besieged. And the Goblin chieftain fleeing cutscene won't reveal pass to Frontier Caverns. That's all.

BTW In case you wonder: on the other hand, if the siege commander will survive the siege HE will give you something ;)

I see...

After he jumps, I jumped too, but I was unable to catch him, cause I took too long to jump until I realized I could jump from that little opening too...

At the frontier caverns, I killed everything but I stopped at some gate there that doesn't open... maybe I could get it opened later.

The only thing of note that actually happens is that it's worth an unusually high amount of XP for a Hobgoblin. Around 7k+.

Once it leaves into the Frontier Caverns, it disappears from the game completely. But you're not really missing anything. The gate further in is tied to a notice board quest later in the game. If you don't do that notice board quest, the gate will never open. This is a warning, for the record, as there's a SECOND notice board quest even further on that requires the first one to be completed.

7k... at least it's not that much at this point of the game. I'll look to the rest of that cavern, thanks for the answer!

After you kill the final boss then there is a encounter in that area and it comes from the locked gate.

Easy way to kill him is to do some damage and throw oil barrel(or use fire spell). There is high chance that he will die before landing.
Killing him normally require luck and it is possible to kill him while you in the air.

Thanks!

Or
...one could just stagger/knockdown and pick him up and toss him out of the "throne room" to the hallway and slay there.
Just a thought ;)

Hmm, nice insight, but won't the cutscene trigger too? Thanks!

Nope. The chieftain has to safely jump out the window to trigger it. Without that you'll get a
"cutscene" with a closeup to his dead body ;)

Damn, this game is so organic.

I can attest to what zadymek is saying. The easiest way (to me) to safely kill it is to just pick it up and throw it over the wall. It'll die of fall damage that way. Granted, you have to carry it out the fortress and up a flight of stairs, so you might have to pick it back up a few times.
