So, off you go. At least some of your troupe are on foot, pushing/pulling a small wagon loaded with your treasure, unless you can arrange otherwise.
You have an axebeak that can pull the wagon. The WWs are in no position to challenge you on anything. There are the 4 of you, 4 leftenants, an axebeak and a small wagon.
Arrange your order as Tark commands, and sally forth! To the LK! It's conveniently on your way home.
Sorry for the delay. I should be more available now.
Velag Wordeater |
Velag looks at the broken remains of the tribe and says, "We rekrooting. If gobbies, 'specially she-gobbies, want come with us, now last chance"
With that, he rides Bayleff to the front, prepared to scout the way back.
GM Goblin King |
Aside from your leftenants, none of the WWs want to go with you. Your lives are simply too dangerous.
Velag Wordeater |
Velag ponders the refusal. We kills all boggards, and now theses not come with us? They not friends, then. Me no like that. Mebbe we wipe out tribe of non-friends, have fun with shegobbies, and tell Gutwad it boggies that does it while we killing frog-god... but we 'venged them goodly.... and rescued shegobs.... Mebbe it time for a real 'quisition.... Me eat book about one once. Sound like fun...
He smiles as he thinks of the possibilities, and then pauses, Lizzies also friendly to these..., he sighs, ...guess that have to wait 'til later.
He looks at Bucko with a strange look in his eyes and a wicked grin and says, "We come back here for more fun later, kay?"
GM Goblin King |
lol
Okay, There's you, mounts, 4 leftenants, and a cart pulled by a medium bird dripping with treasure. Ready to venture to the LK's crib?
Stix Gibber |
I look puzzled at the wind whisperers. "Y'all bunch o cowards! Wese save ya an y'all needs to serve us. Dat dere is gobbo tradition an I ain't gonna take no fer an answer! Ya stoopid gobbos pack your tings now. Your comin wit us weather yous like it or not!"
Remember guys, we are evil. We are held by no special obligations to let them live *Evil Grin* I like Valeg's plan. What says Tark?
Turboflex:"YEAH!!!"
GM Goblin King |
You make it to the Yondabakari river without incident, but late in the day, and will have to wait for the lizard ferry. Who's taking what watch?
GM Goblin King |
We would be wise to determine whose leftenant guards with who. Set it up as a standard watch sequence, and I'll note it.
Some RP would be good here. Let's introduce our followers.
Bucko has F#cko, a 5th level adept. Who else is among you?
Velag Wordeater |
As we ride along, Velag stops and snarls at his newbie, "Me not care what named used to be. Now, you called Badbait. Badbait Sneakykill. If you keep saying you want changed, me make it Sneakykill-ed. Not think you likes that."
Bucko Rackingclaw |
What are my options as far as the abilities of the leftenants?
NPC classes, adept, warrior, expert, some combination of those, at 5th level of ability...
Full details in OOC thread.
GM Goblin King |
I guess I have a meat shield or divine buffer. Not sure which. I think I want another fighter type with me. What are my options as far as the abilities of the leftenants?
You'll eventually have 2 each. 15pt. buy, 5 levels of adept, expert and/or warrior, 3450 gp (they have nothing right now, but you'll be able to equip them soon), hit points like you get.
Like I said before, they're not as tough as cohorts, but they can help you out in establishing the goblin domination of the world.
GM Goblin King |
There are 8 of you. You camp somewhere near the river, and it gets dark. Any order for the watch?
Bucko Rackingclaw |
Bucko starts with mediatation and resting, only needing 2 hours to recover spells and the like will take watch after that.
With a warrior left-enant if available, maybe trade with Stix.....for watch purposes.
Velag Wordeater |
Velag who doesn't need continuous rest to pray for spells will take one of the middle shifts, and will work with Badbait -- sneaking up and poking him with a sharp stick a few times to teach him to be more alert.

Place thineselves upon yon [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnNEKUCpmLFNdHVFVFZadjVza3JiSVJHZ3ptUm8yenc&hl=en_US#gid=0]MAP,{/url] and the festivities shall soon begin.
GM Goblin King |
Crap! Map!
Ennyhoo, decide who's on what watch, and we'll go from there. 8 goblins, 4 mounts, a cart and a bird.
GM Goblin King |
Stix takes the first watch, and once it's nice and dark, he spots something big in the water. It's coming up fast, though he can only see its dark, reptilian head. It appears to see him, too.
Stix Gibber |
I shoot it
Shot 1 Many shot:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 For:2d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 2) + 18 = 26 +1 to atk and dmg if within 30feet.
Two extra shots if I can take a fully round.
shot 21d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 For:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Shot 31d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 For:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Add point blank if applicable.
Lefttenant wakes up the others.
GM Goblin King |
At least 2 of Stix's shots hit the big head, and it quickly dives underwater. You see nothing else.
GM Goblin King |
For some inscrutable reason, the rest of the night passes uneventfully.
In the morning, you see a large raft of lizardfolk paddling to the dock. From the south, you see another lizardfolk approaching. It's Nao.
She seems pleased to see you, and asks how it went with the mogo.
GM Goblin King |
The Lizard King will be pleased.
The raft arrives and a detachment of lizardfolk get off to patrol. Nao goes with you, and you arrive at the Lizard King's "palace" later in the day.
You're escorted in, and he's glad to hear the news. The lizardfolk had to fight hard, but they managed to beat back the boggards, and they're not seeing many of them now.
Now, what can I do for you? he asks.
GM Goblin King |
Varisians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding, ghosts crowd the young goblins' eggshell mind.
I have seen that this is so. We have little to trade, but there is one who will arrive tomorrow, who can bring you magic items from exotic worlds.
He invites you to a rude and horrid feast, and you again can spend the night in an actual building.
Know what toys you want?
GM Goblin King |
He captains a ship. He calls himself Renyldz. I don't know how he does it, but he can get what you want for any who can pay.
