S04-01 Rise of the Goblin Guild (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

Ecstatic, Ekkie squeels with joy at the sparing of the dogs lives. Once they have eaten their fill, Ekkie cautiously leads each dog down the hall away from the party and releases them. Once she has released the last one, she bounces back to the group smiling and chattering.

Having seen the mangy pups off, The party continues down the tunnel, eventually coming through to one final chamber. From around the corner, you hear goblin voices.. and something bigger nastier and obviously in charge.

"Hvar eru þeir ? Þú óhæfur heimskingjar hafa brugðist mér aftur!"

Pierre whispers to Ekkie:

"What is he saying? And who is it?"

Ginko whispers to the others, mimicking the tone of the bigger, nastier voice.

"He said, 'Where are they? You incompetent fools have failed me again!'"

Glad you're quite finished, Hush thinks sardonically when the others join him at the end of the hall. He motions for them to follow him as he continues, looking for the source of the voice.

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Like I said before, dibs on the big one." growls Theadus as he slowly draws his greatsword.

Hush stumbles as he peers around the corner, and the voices within suddenly quiet, before a commanding voice snarls through the air, this time in common.
"It seems that our Visitors have finally arrived! Come into my chamber, that we can treat as equals!"

Hush curses himself for being so careless. Strangely eloquent goblin... Shortswords lowered but readily available, Hush walks calmly into the room. His demeanor betrays none (or little) of his surprise at such an elaborate room inside a goblin lair.

Theadus follows closely behind with his greatsword propped against his shoulder. He flashes a wide, toothy grin at the sight of the large goblinoid but says nothing.

Theadus and Hush walk into what appears to be a throne room, and see a huge bugbear sitting on the throne, flanked by two goblins. The bugbear calls out again
"I know that there are more of you out there! Show yourselves! Come in here and I am sure that we can work out a deal that will work for both you pathfinders and myself! We are just another guild, after all!"

Tired of goblin trickery, Theadus scans the room while waiting for the others, looking for any signs of traps or hidden enemies.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Pierre comes in proud and tall, followed by Ekkie. I guess
He clears his throat before speaking.

"Greetings, Guild Leader. My name is Pierre Viret. We came in peace and have made the best we could to not hurt your people. May I know your name?"

All in his body language suggests that the cleric wants nothing but peaceful relationships with the bugbear.

Diplomacy, Improve attitude: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 + 4 = 26

Theadus leans over Pierre and quietly whispers "Are you forgetting the butcher? This creature's survival will mean the death of that man and his family."

Ginko scratches his beak, listening to the voice as he tries to get a feel for how up-front it is being, and whether he has any ulterior motives.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Colt saunters in behind his companions.

"What's going on here? A bit of a palaver?"

He caresses the butt of his pistol, waiting for the bugbear to make the first move.

Pierre, I need you to place your token where you would like to stand, please.

Ginko=You get the feeling that not all is well or right.

"I am Inoklar, the Guildmaster of the Nightsoil Marauders. One of you come forward and treat with me.. You have cut your way through my entire guild... forgive me a few precautions."

I missed Theadus' perception roll. You see something on the floor.. It looks like it is a trap.

Ginko shakes his head, sighing. He then addresses the bugbear.

"You can finish this charade. We are no fools. You have no intention of resolving anything peacefully."

Pierre as he makes his path forward, gives a surprised look at Ginko.
What he says, though, makes him change his tone. He frowns and scowls at the bugbear.

"Is my friend telling the truth? Are you toying with us with no true will of getting a reasonable bargain? You have shed blood and spread theft all around the city! Choose redemption now or perish in the holy name of Iomedae!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 + 4 = 24

At Ginko and Pierre's declarations, Inoklar surges forward from her seat on the throne with a curse. "KILL THEM!!!! BRING ME THEIR HEADS!!" she cries.

"Ekkie! Attack them!!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Inoklars' order may be countermanded with either a higher diplomacy check or an intimidation check. Pierre: depending on how these rolls turn out will determine which of us "Controls" her.

The two goblins move forward towards the party.

Can any of us roll the diplomacy/intimidate check, or just Pierre?

Anyone may roll

Theadus responds with a primal, bestial roar as he charges forward, swinging wide of the trap. He comes to a stop directly in front of one of the goblins and bares his teeth as he towers over the creature.
intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Ekkie, hear the voice of reason and righteousness. You repent from your sins and welcomed Iomedae's faith. Now is not the time to turn back. You are not a foul beast anymore. You are a child of Aroden, follower of the glorious Iomedae!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Yay, just when needed!

If Pierre has succeeded in convincing Ekkie, Ginko will proceed as follows.

Ginko pats around for something, finally producing a scroll.

"Ah, here we are..."

He furrows his brow as he reads.

"Listen to your instincts. Open your heart and be at peace. Breezes-Still-and-Ripples-Cease."

Bless for everyone

Ekkie falters for a moment, but finds her strength within Pierre's convictions. "You a bad bad person, and I no help you anymore!!" she cries out at Inoklar before immediately hiding behind the party.

Hush watches with some relief as Ekkie allies herself with their group. Makes this easier. Invoking the terrifying power of his god once again, he heads for the goblin to his right, twin shortswords at the ready.

Using Charming Presence again. Will DC 13 to attack me.

"Ah, time for talk is over, eh? Works for me."

Colt moves up and fires on the southern goblin.

Pistol vs touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Theadus roars in the goblins face, shaking him up a bit.
Ginko casts Bless on the group, while Hush brings up his horribly frightening visage again.
Colt just decides to walk up and shoot his goblin, but the ugly thing cringes at just the wrong moment and the bullet misses.

In return for making the little goblin make puddles on her throne room floor, Inoklar picks up her Horsechopper and rushes his way
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Pierre moves forward and touches lightly Hush's shoulder. "May Glory enlighten your path, friend."

Casting Protection from Evil.

Still shaking in his boots, Red Goblin strikes out at Theadus
Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 2 = 13
but still manages to miss the prone teifling.

Blue Goblin draws a flask from his belt and lobs it at Hush.

Colt mutters a quick curse under his breath as he reloads his pistol. He takes aim and fires again at the same goblin.

Spend one grit for focused aim.

Pistol vs touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Sigh...
Theadus will stand (invoking AoO's, but what choice do I have?) and swing at the goblin in front of him.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Just once, I'd like to hit something...

Colt reloads his pistol and fires again at the gobbie, striking it a massive blow.

Meanwhile, Theadus gets up from the floor. As he is occupied, his gobbie takes a swing, but misses again. Inoklar, on the other hand, gets under his armor and the blade of her horsechopper sinks deep into the teifling.
Gobbie Aoo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Inoklar Aoo: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Horsechopper: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Seeing her foe drop, Inoklar turns her attentions to the other side of the room and rushes to help her minion.

MEDIC!!!

@Theadus Can't get to you in one move. I can definitely heal you next round.

"Oh, that looks like a rather bad hit."

Ginko gives a grandfatherly stare at the goblin that hit him.

"You should think about what you have done, Little One."

Ginko casts Daze, DC 16 Will Save

Pierre comes quickly towards Theadus and lays his hands on the tiefling wounds.

"You're safe with me, friend."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

After that, he looks at the goblin clad in novice robes and says to her:

"Ekkie, come to help us, please!"

Diplomacy, request: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

I don't quite know what Ekkie is ready to do for us/Pierre, can you make her act, GM?

Thanks, guys! Another good heal and I'll be able to get up and...well, probably just get hit again. I'll make an effort though, dammit!

I can act as Ekkie, but since you beat the DC vs Inoklars' intimidation roll, she is all yours.. and I forgot to tell you that she picked up two of the alchemist's fire flasks back in the lab. So I can take her for this turn just to speed things up, but she is a willing and capable friend. I guess treat her as an animal comanion for lack of better rules ATM.

Ekkie runs forward to help the companions battle her *once* idolized almost-master. Remember, you caught her in the middle of her initiation into the Marauders

Stepping over the unconscious Theadus, Red goblin makes a move towards the preoccupied Pierre and manages to slice his arm.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Whew!!!
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Blue goblin, tired of being used for target practice, makes its mind up and attacks Hush with its dogslicer. The stout little bugger just barely manages to get through his armor, but its just a scratch.
Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

[/ooc]Looking back, it appears that I skipped Hush in this round. I guess I lost him when I moved Ekkie under Pierre in the initiative and he never got highlighted.. So Hush you have two moves, the first to take place just before this post, and you still need to resolve the fire damage from the last turn.[/ooc]

Red goblin needed to make a save vs. my Daze spell, I believe

I see that now. Thank you!
Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18
Unfortunately, the actions stand as is.

Yea I was gonna say, I'm really confused lol. And once Blue made his Will save, he's now immune to the sanctuary effect.

Hush takes the time to put out the alchemical flames-- much less theatric than what he was hoping to inspire against the goblin, but probably better in the long run. Then, he continues his assault.

Shortsword 1 vs Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Shortsword 2 vs Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shortsword 1 crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Extra damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

I shall await further healing before posting.

Thanks, GM. It's just that I don't have her stats :) is she a CR 1/3 (warrior 1) goblin?

I thought I mailed that to you when you were talking about keeping her after the game as an acolyte. I will mail it again.

Though his way to Theadus is blocked, Ginko takes comfort in knowing that at least the tiefling has been stablized for the time being by Pierre.

Ginko moves back and then begins casting Sleep.

Move action to move, then standard action to begin a 1-round cast time spell to be finished with another standard action next round.

Colt hastily reloads, and fires again at the goblin.

Pistol vs touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 4

In attempting to avoid hitting Hush, Colt sends the shot wide.

Theadus is still healing up, while Hush goes on the offensive. He neatly ends the fight for the blue goblin with a well places sword stroke.
Ginko begins to cast another spell and Colt tries his pistol again, but misses.

Inoklar steps around the column and gives a mighty roar! Swinging her horsechopper over her head, she attempts to demoralize the companions with her dazzling display.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Colt, Hush, Ekkie, and Ginko are now shaken. Ginko, I believe that you need a concentration check or you lose the spell.

Pierre concentrates and unleashes glowing energy.

"Holy Iomedae, bless us with your holy light!"

Channel energy, excluding the goblin and Inokular. The only one too far is Colt.

Channel energy: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

After he draws his longsword and steps on his left.

Pierre, Dont forget that you are now acting as Ekkie.. She is shaken, so she takes a -2 on just about any roll, but she is still able to move and act.

Sorry, I just took my supper as it's beginning to be late. I didn't forget to make her act. Thanks for reminding me, though :)

Greatly shaken by Inoklar's display, Ekkie gathers what strength she has to go to the fight, on Pierre's side. Her swing widely misses.

Dogslicer: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 2 = 5
