A goblin wearing fetishes of cloth, carved bone, and tinder steps forward and begins to sing. At certain points in his song, he tosses a fetish to the ground and sets it aflame with a word and a gesture.
"Ponk Burngood best when time to fight, makes much fire, crackly and bright. Horse hooves stomp, and horse hooves mash, but horse can't stomp when burned to ash! Doggies bark, bare teeth, and chase; Ponk not afraid! Blast fire in face! Chief is wise, can pick the rest, but Ponk be first, and Ponk be best!"
A tall, lanky goblin wearing leather horsehide armor studded with keys, belt loops, and boot buckles and a bucket as a helmet walks forward. He seems to be a hunter, spear in hand, with bow, sword, and bear trap across his back.
He bows, but keeps his eyes on the chief the whole time. "Chief Gutwad summon Grulo Barkmangle. Grulo come, as asked." He then tosses four mangy rabbits at the feet of the chief.
Grulo turns slowly and addresses all present as he chants, holding his spear high as he does.
"In the trees and in the night, Grulo stalking out of sight.
Find the trails and paths and tracks, hunt the critters, make them snacks!
Grulo hunt and Grulo find, lots of food and fun for tribe.
Scared not of horse or dog or man, Grulo not flee, he make a stand!
Grulo Barkmangle is silent hunter, try and fail to find another!"
Grulo then spits a snotty glob on Ponk's charred fetish and takes a place near the side of the room.
A maniacal looking goblin, perhaps too smart for his own good, steps foward. He has Pale green skin, wears a crude hide jacket with lots of pockets, and has a thick bound tome with lots of pictures inside...
"Chief Gutwad! I have no singing for you, I only give you my talent!
I blow things up dat stand in tha way of tha Licktoads! Be it biggun, mangy dog, or wee men, I blow dem ta bits!"
Staggering forward, clearly drunk, an irregularly strong goblin plops himself down in front of the chief. Outfitted with only his backpack and a bottle of strong booze, the goblin sprays,
"Chief! Me sing better! Me sing great!
Me sing song of dead dog's fate!
Me fall down next to big dog,
Me laugh and call it hog,
Dog get mad, start to swing,
Dog miss Nenus, me still laffing!
Then Nenus swing, nenus swing back!
Doggie do down, doggie now snack."
You rode for 18 seconds. That's all you needed to get the gift.
Excellent... but there was no post as to the outcome or reward for the riding task. Unless I have become clueless and become rather unobservant. Which could happen these days... :)
Very good, dis Dragon Brew Gourd fur you.as one of the goblins hands you a clay gourd. But I has another challenge for you. Chief says if you can eat an entire bag of Bull slugs reel quick like he will loan you him weapon the Gorge of Gluttons By this time you are gathering an impressive crowd cheering you on.
This challenge consists of eating 5 bull slugs in a minute. Each slug is a full round action to eat. Because these slugs are foul tasting, and because of the slim, difficult to chew. Successfully eating one will require a FORT save per slug. Or you can make it easier, lower fort save, and not spit out the slime bladder and swallow whole but will require a more diffult fort save at the end.
sorry i guess i should be more clear. I will try and do that in the future.
I am said to hear that. But I understand. Do you mind if during combat I take control to keep a steady pace going?
Also, sorry about the lack of post yesterday had to take care of sone stuff with the wife. Our daughter is due in June si we have to get stuff prepared.
Just realized June is going to be an awesome month with my daughter being born and the advanced races guide coming out ;-)
I would prefer you roll reactive group saves, especially while not in combat- it'll go a long way towards speeding the adventure.
Well, that's my two cents.
so here's the thing this adventure is quickly coming to an end. However I like several of your playstyles, so I am extending this offer to you. This is a prequel to the Jade Regent Adventure Path, would you like to continue the story as new characters in the Jade Regent AP? Please note, that if you do decide to do the AP I will invest more time than I do for a module.
I would not, only because I'm already a player in a Jade Regent PbP and real life has been getting increasingly more busy lately. But I greatly appreciate the offer.
I'm already playing in one PbP and DMing two others, so I'll bow out. I joined this one because it was a one-shot and I wanted the chance to play in it. Thanks for the offer though.
