Azeban, you don't see anything more than the path continuing. The green monsters are clearly too far ahead for you to see anything.

Also, you guys know enough to realize that goblins sometimes are just too stupid/goofy to think of things like covering their tracks.


M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

Brennus hadn't seen much of Azeban until now, so he looks the pseudodragon over carefully. Clearly he was another familiar.

"Or they're just that stupid," Brennus rasps. "We are talking about goblins."

Still, he keeps his eyes open. Goblins were that stupid, but if fey were involved...


Halfling Witch 7 | HP 37/37 | AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 15 | CMD 12 | Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +5 | Init +1 | Perception +9, Sense Motive +0

Bethella casts a spell, bringing up a minor protective barrier over herself, so that she would be ready if combat happens.

Mage Armor

"Let's keep following them... but keep an eye out! We don't know if they have an ambush ready."

She looks to Brennus. "Do you want to join in the aerial scouting? Or lurk here? Either way, make sure to keep yourself out of harm's way!"

"Someone needs to keep an eye on you," Brennus replies. "Just watch your step! I don't want to have to jump off your shoulder without warning!"


Halfling Witch 7 | HP 37/37 | AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 15 | CMD 12 | Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +5 | Init +1 | Perception +9, Sense Motive +0

"I know, I know, that time with the pit... at least I've learned enough witchery that I can fall slowly now!"

Brennus makes a sound that might be a snicker, but keeps whatever thought spawned it to himself.

" I do so love putting Goblins in their place! They are such an unruly bunch."

"If it's just goblins," Brennus cautions.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Alis keeps walking until she sees something.

(besides trees... you know, the missing child, or a goblin she has to fight or something...) :)

You approach a dead tree. As you do so, you hear sounds of a creature weeping.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 <-- To see where the weeping is coming from.


M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

No one is more paranoid about magical trickery than one prone to using it himself... so Brennus's first action on hearing the weeping is to quietly cast detect magic and search for traces of illusion magic.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

No sign of magic about, and the weeping seems to be coming from inside the tree's trunk. On the far side of the tree is a cavity at about ground level.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Alis heads for the cavity, intent on helping whoever is weeping.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Alis sees a little goblin weeping pitifully. He is gripping his ankle in both hands.


Male Digmaul Magical Beast/Monk 3 (HP:84/84) (AC:25* Touch:15 FF:17) (FORT:+12 REF:+11 WILL:+7)(INIT:+3) (PER:+6)(*+1 dodge bonus against attacks made by creatures at least two size categories smaller)

Smaxx uses his Scent ability to check the area for any other unseen enemies he may be able to detect.

SURV: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

And yes, he mentally face palmed earlier for not asking for something of the child's to get their scent. Give him a break he's not that smart!

Little goblin, as in - a young goblin?

Busara circles the tree to find the source of the noise. Wary of an ambush, she keeps her senses alert as she crouches in front of the goblin.

"What happened to you? Why are you here all alone?" Her voice is soft and her tone soothing. This may be a goblin, but she could never abide unnecessary suffering.

"I hurt my ankle, and they left me here. They said the big, bad longshanks would come soon and kill me, and described all the horrible ways the lonkshanks would hurt me first. Please don't hurt me like that. Please just kill me quickly!

The goblin is 'little' because goblins are size small. This one does seem young and inexperienced.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Alis crouches down to talk to the little guy.

We don't want to hurt you. We just want to get the human child back. Do you know where he is?


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

The goblin's eyes open wide at the gentle tones. "You not going to hurt? Yes, know about human boy. Tribe took him. The fairies promised the chief to make chief better if goblins would get them a human child for their ceremony."


M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

Brennus didn't trust this goblin one bit. He was sure, if he'd been alone, she would have tried to eat him. Still, she was handing out useful information, so he wasn't going to interrupt.

Instead, he just ruffles his feathers and broadcasts mistrust and dislike over his empathic link with Bethella.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Can you show us where they took him? I don't know what is wrong with your chief, but we will help him if we can. Do you want to ride on my shoulders so you don't have to walk?

If he allows it, she picks him up and lets him ride on her shoulders so he can show us the way without injuring himself further.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

The little goblin is very chatty with Alis. He tells you his name is Ollie, and that most of the other goblins don't like him, because the priest overheard him praying, looking for another deity besides the one their tribe worships. He also describes the meeting between his chief and a group of fey, including the fey 'advisor' who was left with the chief.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Ollie, do you remember what the fey looked like?

Sorry about the shoulder, Azeban. Ollie can't walk. Maybe Busara will let you ride?


Halfling Witch 7 | HP 37/37 | AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 15 | CMD 12 | Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +5 | Init +1 | Perception +9, Sense Motive +0

Bethella will try to join in on the conversation between Alis and the little goblin. "Which diety is it that you do pray to?"

She's curious as well to hear the answer to Alis' question.

(She will see if she can figure out what sort of fey creature it is from anything the goblin says: Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21.)


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

"One hasn't answered me yet. My tribe worships Lamashtu, but there has to be someone else out there. Someone who doesn't like seeing creatures in pain. I was just asking for someone to show themselves to me."

The little guy explains that he hasn't seen any of the fey leaders. The messengers he has seen sound to you like sprites.

There are many gods that don't enjoy pain. Hmm... Have you tried Milani? She is the goddess of hope, which you seem to have a lot of.

She might be willing to listen, if you pray to her specifically.


Halfling Witch 7 | HP 37/37 | AC 16, touch 12, flat-footed 15 | CMD 12 | Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +5 | Init +1 | Perception +9, Sense Motive +0

"Yes, Milani is one who might be what you're looking for. And, I could tell you about Desna, Lady Luck, if you're interested."

"But, right now, we need to see if we can rescue this human child before whatever fey creature it is uses the poor tyke in some kind of sacrifice."


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

The little goblin's eyes light up. "Maybe someone is answering my prayers by sending you to me! Will you please help me find out more after we save the small one?"


Female Samsaran Inactive

Of course, Ollie. We would be happy to help you.

Now I'm all emotionally invested in this goblin. Who knew? We can't let him get hurt.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

As you walk, Ollie gives directions to take you to the camp. He seems remarkably trusting.

Any other discussions or anything on the way, or are you guys ready to move on?


F Human Druid 8 HP: 83/83 | AC: 25 T: 13 FF: 23 | Fort: 10 | Ref: 5 | Will: 9 | Perception +13 Initiative +2

Sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

While this encounter seemed fortuitous and Busara is glad that this goblin seems inclined to seek a better way of living, she reminds herself to be careful. After all, this could be a clever trap set by the fey, with their twisted minds.

"Ollie, would you like me to heal your ankle? Then you could walk by yourself. "

M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

Brennus remains quiet, pointedly looking away from the goblin as he keeps watch for anything suspicious while they're talking.

Bethella can tell he still doesn't trust the goblin.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Alis lifts Ollie down so that Busara can heal his ankle.

Yikes. Now I'm imagining Ollie transforming into something evil while he's on my shoulders, and scratching my eyes out. I suppose it is all way too good to be true. I did so much want to believe though. I wonder if we are even going the right direction.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Ollie is very grateful for Busara's healing. He then walks just in front of you, leading you. You know that a goblin settlement is ahead even before you can see it from the smell. Sewer smells mix with pickle smells in a nauseating miasma. Ollie is almost struck with an arrow as you come closer to the camp. "Go away, pest, you do not worship, so you can't be here!" yells the goblin who shot at Ollie.


Female Samsaran Inactive

Alis gets in front of Ollie and then they back off out of bow range for a conference.

All I can think of is asking to see the chief and offer to heal him. Does anyone have a better idea? Ollie, do you know where they might be keeping the child?


M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

Brennus would have much preferred to have stopped *before* any of them came into sight of the camp, but oh, well. He was just a little raven, no one would listen to him.

I'm assuming we pull back far enough to talk freely, otherwise he'll stay silent.

"Heal a Lamashtu worshipper?" he caws incredulously at Alis's suggestion. "That's like healing a snake in your nest! I say it's better to trick them."

He looks sidelong at Bethella, mischief glittering in his little black eyes. "I could take a look, see what opportunities there might be... they might respect mysterious voices from the air."


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

So what are you guys going to do? This is meant to be a much more open ended game than most of my others.


M Magical Raven Familiar Brennus 7 | Mythic Archmage 1 1st level: 8/8 | 2nd level: 8/8 | 3rd level: 6/6 | Arcane Reservoir: 0/8 | Mythic Power 5/5 | SP 18/18 | Current effects: | HP 87/87 | AC: 25 T: 18 Fl: 20 | CMB: +3 CMD: 18 | F +6 R +9 W +7 SR 17 | Init +5 | Perc: +15

I was kind of waiting on others to agree or disagree with Brennus


Female Samsaran Inactive

I already said what my idea was. Was waiting for other people to chime in... but happy to just make a decision if you want.

" I don't know who this Lamb Shoe Shoe fella is, but I don't trust mutton unless it's on my dinner plate-and if it's up a walking around that can't be good! Mix in goblins...that's just trouble brewin'. If Brennus wants to scout, I'll go for it, if Alis wants just to go straight in, I will be there to help take care of things no matter what happens!"


Female Samsaran Inactive

Ollie doesn't answer her, and she realizes he's probably frightened and doesn't know anyway, since he was probably hurt on the raiding party in.

We come in peace! she yells. We heard your chief was sick. Maybe we can help.

She says in a lower voice so only the party can hear her Got no problem with tricks, but let's get in and find out where the boy is so they are more well-placed.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

The leader of the goblins who attacked Ollie approaches Alis. "Why would we want help from stupid longshanks? Probably have no soul left from reading."


Female Samsaran Inactive

We don't read very much. Mostly just eat pie. Do you like pie?


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Alis sees the goblins eyes light up for a moment before he answers "No, of course not. Goblins not like longshanks food."


Female Samsaran Inactive

Hmm. Well, I have the ingredients for like 20 pies back at my house, and I was going to make them and give them to whoever helped me find the little human boy... but if you don't like pie...

Hmm. What else do I have to trade, let's see...

She takes off her handy haversack and starts rooting around in it (she doesn't have to, because whatever she want is right there, but she pretends)...

Hmm, waterskin? no. grooming kit? no. trail rations? do you like this stuff? She holds it out. Or maybe darts? I have some that help you fight the fey, if you need some.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

If you're trying to convince them to do something or make them friendly, please use diplomacy rolls (it sounds like you're aiming for diplomacy, not intimidate)


Female Samsaran Inactive

Okay, yep. Sorry.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

The goblin seems to think for a minute, and then his eyes light up even more than before. "Do you know how to make CHERRY pie?"


Female Samsaran Inactive

I do know how to make cherry pie.

She smiles at him.

Do you know where the little human boy is?
