Goog and Mogmurch can't see the dogs because the ship's cabin is between them and where the dogs are currently.
Mic's sharp ears hear heavy breathing coming from around the corner, like a dog panting.

Mogmurch: moves up the gangplank onto the ship
Chuffy: double moves forward at half speed, stealthily.
Goog:Waiting on an action
GM Paladin |
Goog does not see a dog. The cabin blocks his view of the deck at the stern of the ship. Want to take another move action, since you don't have anything to fire a bolt at?
GM Paladin |
Poog, unless you're being stealthy, you can make a double move to go further than that.
As Goog comes past the ladder on the north side of the deck, he hears a low-pitched panting, just before another dog, this one a scruffy mongrel with a crooked tail, lunges out at him. This one also has a rusty chain around its neck, attached to the mast of the ship behind it. The cur snaps at him and sinks its teeth into Goog's leg!
Goog is not flat-footed due to hearing the dog before it jumps out, but it still hit him. 3 damage.
Third round:
Poog: Moves around the south side of the cabin. More movement? Other action?
Mic: double moves forward at half speed, stealthily.
Mogmurch: moves up the gangplank onto the ship
Chuffy: double moves forward at half speed, stealthily.
Tickletooth: readied action: lunges forward and bites at Goog.
Goog: moves forward into the rear deck, triggering Tickletooth's readied action.
Scabtongue: Cannot be seen or heard.

You don't get the extra d6 unless the dog is flatfooted or otherwise denied its Dex bonus to AC, or if you're flanking, which you aren't. However, that's plenty.
Chuffy jabs the dogslicer into the canine's throat, and its grip on Goog's leg falters and fails as it collapses, in a slowly-growing puddle of its own blood.
Fourth Round:
Poog:

Mogmurch:
Chuffy: attacks and deals deadly damage to the dog.

I agree with you and run it like that in my home games. However, the rules as written, which I have to hew to in PFS, make no provision for a sneak attack from hiding, other than via sniping. As soon as you're in line of sight with the dog, it is considered to have observed you.

Mic Chuffy |
It may have observed him, but it hasn't moved acted yet. It would be considered flat-footed.
As soon as he hears his goblin brethren in combat, he moves around the corner and into flanking position with Chuffy.
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1
GM Paladin |
It already attacked Goog. It's no longer flat-footed. It's also dying. Do you want that attack to be a further stab of the dying dog to make sure it stays dead?
-Posted with Wayfinder
GM Paladin |
Actually, nevermind, Mic is ahead of Chuffy in the initiative order. So you attack first and miss, then he attacks, finishing the dog off.
GM Paladin |
To fully describe this area: A ladder leads up to the upper deck, and a tall, mostly intact mast stands here, with handholds that would make it fairly easy to climb. Climbing the mast is DC 10. A solid door leads into the cabin, and though there are portholes, green slimy algae block any view inside.
Fourth Round:
Poog: Still up.
Mic: attacks and misses
Mogmurch: comes around brandishing his club, looking for another dog.
Chuffy: attacks and deals deadly damage to the dog.
Tickletooth: cannot be seen or heard
Goog: stabs the dog once more for good measure.
Scabtongue: collapses, dying

Chuffy sniffs.
"Burnt dog on level above."
He then perks up one ear, listening at the door.
"There's something in there!"
GM Paladin |
As per Poog's request in the disucssion thread, I'm running his actions here.
"Burnt dog? Poog's favorite!" says Poog, and immediately starts climbing up the ladder. In a moment, he says, "Burnt dog not dead! Poog kill!"
Poog holds out his symbol of Zarongel, and a javelin of fire streaks across the deck, striking the already badly burned dog. It gives a strangled yelp as it catches fire again, and collapses onto the deck.
"Got it! Fire kill dog! Haha!" crows the little pyromaniac.

GM Paladin |
I think I've got everyone at the place they want to be on the map. Mogmurch didn't mention moving, just being defensive.
The dark cabin has many crates, lots of trash, piles of rags and bones that can be seen through the door.
Up top, Poog and Mic hear a growl and a crash behind them, as the door to the little cubical room atop the bow end of the upper deck is forced open and a wolf-sized dog bounds out, showing his teeth. He looks very dangerous.
Fifth round:
Poog: climbs ladder, shoots fire bolt at Tickletooth.
Mic: Climbs ladder, positions himself above the door.
Mogmurch: total defense
Chuffy: Total defense, opens door.
Cuddles: knocks the door open and comes out, growling and bristling.
Goog: Is up!

No answer comes to Goog's question.
Any other action by Goog?
GM Paladin |
Goog sees nothing that looks like fireworks in his limited view through the open door.
I'll assume Goog spends his turn calling out and trying to peer through the door.
Sounds of a chanted spell come from within the cabin.
The figure that Goog saw climbs up the mast, and disappears from view.
Poog, worried about this new dog, casts a spell, pleading for Zarongel's favor, and gets his weapon ready. Divine Favor.
Fifth round:
Poog: climbs ladder, shoots fire bolt at Tickletooth.
Mic: Climbs ladder, positions himself above the door.
Mogmurch: total defense
Chuffy: Total defense, opens door.
Cuddles: knocks the door open and comes out, growling and bristling.

GM Paladin |
Are you climbing up the ladder to attack? Previously Mogmurch was on the bottom deck under the overhang and couldn't attack from there.
GM Paladin |
Hah! "Whoops, wrong door!" Let me check to make sure you can do that as a standard action. ... I can't seem to find anything that says what action it would be, but it doesn't seem like jamming a metal skewer in between planks of a deck would take much time, so, I'll allow it as a standard.
Mic Chuffy |
Mic is above the door right now, so he will wait for someone to come out.
GM Paladin |
REVERSAL OF PREVIOUSLY POSTED EVENTS: Mogmurch can't retrieve an alchemist's fire, climb the ladder, and throw it in a single round. You're allowed to draw a weapon-like object as part of a move if you have a +1 BAB or higher. Mogmurch does not. He can save that attack roll for next round, but no attack this round. Alternatively, Mogmurch, you can revise your action however you'd like.
The dog bounds forward to attack the goblin who seems to be paying more attention to the door below than to him. He sinks his teeth into Mic and tears a big chunk of flesh out, and with a twist of his powerful neck, sends the wounded goblin sprawling.
Mic has taken 11 damage and is prone. Mic is staggered at 0 HP.
Sixth round
Poog: Casts Divine Favor, draws his Dogslicer.
Mic: Delays
Mogmurch: climbs the ladder and gets ready to throw an alchemist's fire at cuddles
Chuffy: Closes the door and spikes it with a skewer.
Cuddles: chomps Mic and pulls him to the ground
Goog: Up!

Cartmanbeck's Gob Pregen |
Goog, seeing the figure climb up toward the ceiling of the cabin (I assume there's a ceiling?) decides that if she's running from him, she's an enemy, and fires a fire bolt at her
ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1
And if it misses, maybe it'll set the ship on fire! Hooray! ;)
GM Paladin |
Chuffy closed the door already. No line of sight.

GM Paladin |
Well, he spiked it too, so you'd need a strength check (not a very hard one since it's just a skewer) to force it open. Do you want to talk as a free action out of turn when he starts to spike the door and ask him not to? (He may decide to do it anyway.)

GM Paladin |
Goog grunts and forces the door open, breaking off the skewer that Chuffy jammed in to try to block it from opening.
Before him is the dark cabin, oozing thick air that stinks of swamp and sweat, with a thick, glistening layer of mud on the floor and swaths of oily fungus clinging to the walls. Even more dangling decorations of goblin bone and animal-part fetishes hang from the ceiling on lengths of sinew, while piles of rags, sticks, mud, and cast-off bits of clothing and hide lie in the corners of the room. Among the filth and clutter are several crates and boxes, including a red chest at the far west end of the room.
In the middle of the room, crouching upside-down on the ceiling like a spider, is a fearsome-looking goblin with a huge head. Vorka's mouth, wide and grotesque even by goblin standards, is a snaggletoothed maw of teeth filed down into sharp points. She wears a patchwork of mismatched, stained rags, with more bones and remains of victims hanging from her belt. A floppy, pointy leather hat is apparently stuck to her head. In one of her hands is a foot-long wooden tube, recognizable as the type of firework known as a Desnan candle.
"Delightful!" she exclaims. "Those ears of yours will taste fine, once I stuff them with mashed eyeballs!"
She casts a spell causing a flame to appear in her open hand. Then she touches the flame to the fuse of the Desnan candle, causing a sizzling spark to appear on the fuse. A second later, a burst of flame like a candle shoots out of the tube and sails over Goog's head.
Out of the pile of rags and debris to the left of the door, a huge-eyed green-grey head appears -- a giant frog!
Already on his guard from the narrowly-missing firework, Goog pulls back from the frog's attempt to bite him. The massive amphibian hops backwards, avoiding any attempt by Goog to counterattack.
Poog runs around to flank the big dog, bravely slashing at it with his dogslicer! The dog didn't expect such valor from the goblin, and leaves himself vulnerable to a telling slash across his hindquarters.
Sixth round:
Poog: Casts Divine Favor, draws his Dogslicer.
Mic: Delays
Mogmurch: climbs the ladder and gets ready to throw an alchemist's fire at cuddles
Chuffy: Closes the door and spikes it with a skewer.
Cuddles: chomps Mic and pulls him to the ground
Goog: Opens the door Chuffy just closed.
Vorka: Casts a spell and lights the firework, which misses Goog.
Lord Longtung: Emerges from the rags to bite at Goog, then hops back away from Goog.

GM Paladin |
Are you sure you want to do that? You'll take 1 damage and go unconscious at -1 HP.
Mic Chuffy |
Yeah, I'll leave others to heal me, since I am at 0, any action I take would make me uncouncious... Don't know where the 1 damages is coming from though.
GM Paladin |
Ok. Mic, are you OK with taking 1 pt of splash damage from the alchemist fire, since you and Poog will be in the area of effect?
