Twitchy Boom Boom |
Twitchy chases after Ronk on Fluffer, and shouts, "Ronk, stop please! Ronk, we're tired! I'm out bombs, Medge is out of luck, we're out of cures! Let's go back!"
If that doesn't work, she shouts, "I love you, you crazy barbarian. Please, come back!"
Ronk Bonk |
Ronk would have stopped at the first statement but now I do not want him too. I knew you couldn't resist all this Ronky Goodness.
At Twitchy's first cry Ronk slows down and begins to realize he has lost the massive Legs. At the second shout Ronk slams to a stop and while still carrying momentum he tumbles though the muck. It takes him a few seconds to right himself and then he charges Twitchy, covered in muck.
Quickly decide if you want to be jumped by a muck covered Ronk.

And Ronk jumps into Twitchy's arms. They tumble onto the ground. Panting Ronk says Ronk loves Twitchy too! And her hat! He offers he a big toothy smile.

Twitchy sings as she gets enveloped in Ronk's arms:
"Oh Ronk, for me there's only you
Even covered with muck and goo
Let's be flirty
Make me dirty
To you I'll stay true
Just say you love me too!'"
She grins and kisses him. "Shall we go back to camp with the others? Or do you want to wait a minute?"
Ronk Bonk |
I needed the laugh thank you.
Feeling conflicted but a little overwhelmed We should go back. Lotsa Legs could show up He gives Twitchy a quick kiss and then grabs her hand and heads back to the others with a big grin dominating his face.
Medge the Curious |
Medge watches Twitchy fly after Ronk. "Ronk love to bonk too much. I hope Twitchy keeps him from being eaten by spider."
Survival: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11
Medge pokes around the area. "Medge needs her beauty sleep. But we need safe place from nasty spider. Maybe we sleep under bushes? Or inside log?" The sounds of Twitchy and Ronk returning make her look up. She gives Ronk a quizzical look. "What happen to you? Bonk big spider? Or you get bonked on head?"
Twitchy Boom Boom |
"He rolled around in the mud," Twitchy says, accurately. "I did, too. We gonna get spider on the way back, Medge!"
Then Twitchy grins. "You're a pirate captain, right? If we can find a boat somewhere, could you make Ronk and me Mates?"
"Let's find a good place to camp. Who wants first watch?"
Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
Ronk Bonk |
Marriage? Well that was quick. Lucky Ronk is liking the Twitchy. Must make sure to capture all this Ronky Goodness ;)
Ronks eyes widen at Twitchy's words and when he opens his mouth to speak a bit of mud slides into his mouth. Ronk lets out a very dignified Whhaaa! and he pulls his Monster Mask off and stares at it with a look of pure horror. He lets out a long whine Nnnoooo! Our Mask is muddy and not scary!
Twitchy Boom Boom |
"No," Twitchy says, stroking Ronk's cheek, "you scare me plenty."
She doesn't even have to lie here!
"So... watches. Who wants what watch? We need sleep, but we also need to have eyes out for dogs, spiders and everything else."
Ronk Bonk |
Fear ME!
Give me your hat. We will fix it! Ronk holds his hand out for the hat with an expectant look on his face. Ronk will keep watch but We must fix it first!
Slightly obsessive but that's ok. And now to bed.
Twitchy Boom Boom |
Twitchy hands Ronk both her hat and a kiss. "I know you will. I can take second watch. Medge do you want third? Gurp, you okay with fourth?"
Ronk Bonk |

Happily accepting both Ronk runs to a small puddle of water, pulls soap pout of his bag, and furiously begins to scrub clean Twitchy's hat and then his Monster mask.
Twitchy Boom Boom |

Twitchy smiles at Flamefinger's offer to take watch for Medge, and then watches Ronk as he goes off to wash both their hats. He loves me. He really does.
Happily, she tucks her robes around her, and curls up, kitten-style, with Fluffer and the other goblins for warmth before falling asleep.

I keep finding goblin "nests" in other adventure scenarios, where the goblins all curled up and slept together, so I don't think it's that far off to assume that they might do so away from the shelters of Licktoad Village.
Ronk Bonk |

After the Hat of Twitchy Boom Boom and the now scary Monster Mask are clean to Ronks surprisingly high
standards he hangs them on a bush next to the sleeping group of Goblins. Picking up his bonking stick
and swinging it to rest on his shoulders Ronk begins his watch. His night is dark and full of terrors!
And by that I mean he thinks a lot on far more deep thoughts than normal. Mostly about Twitchy Boom Boom.
After a while of watching the darkness Ronks mind drifts to the new development in his life and he begins to sing.
We've been awake for a while now
You've got Us feelin' like a Goblet now
'Cause every time We see your green face
We get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in Our toes, and We wiggle Our ears
Where ever she goes We have no fears
You make Us feel so happy and strange
We would follow you even with mange
The moon is shining on Our Monster Mask
Under your pointy hat does it bask
Together they are perfect
You We will protect!
It starts in Our toes, and We wiggle Our ears
Where ever she goes We have no fears
You make Us feel so happy and strange
We would follow you even with mange
But what am We gonna do?
When you make Us feel so askew
We just, mmm
It starts in Our toes, and We wiggle Our ears
Where ever she goes We have no fears
You make Us feel so happy and strange
We would follow you even with mange
We've been sitting for a while now
Your tucked in a pile so snug now
When We look that way We feel so warm
Happy and giggy are now Our norm
It started with Our hat, and now We trust you so much
We couldn't beileve you did that, Medge's foot is in your clutch
You make Us smile, Twitchy, just sleep though the night
Holding that foot tight
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever you go I always know
'Cause you make Us feel so strange, we would follow you with mange!
Much later in the evening Ronk wakes up Flamefinger, opting to let Twitchy sleep more

In the morning, Twitchy wakes to the sun and Fluffer's slight nip. She doesn't want to wake though because she feels cozy and safe. Two large warm arms are wrapped around her, and she can feel Ronk's furry monster mask pressed against her cheek.
To the side, she can see Gurp pulling slugs out of his bag, and surveying them proudly like a general assembling his troops. We all got find ways to amuse ourselves on watch, Twitchy thinks sleepily.
Wait a minute... Ronk never woke me up for my watch!
She feels a moment's indignation, that suddenly turns to tenderness when she realizes that Ronk must have stood both his watch and hers. Silly barbarian, she thinks as snuggles further into his arms, not wanting to wake him yet.

After the spider withdraws, you come across the remains of another victim. A tattered satchel holds two potions and 4 sling bullets which Flamefinger identifies as magical.
You find a safe refuge and the night passes without further threats. You awake feeling rested the next day, smelling the ocean salt on the breeze. The map leads to an old shipwreck in some tidal flats where you can hear the ocean waves in the far distance. It must have washed up in some storm. It is a two masted vessel with faded writing on its bow and looks to have been here many years. The ship is covered in trailing vines and leans at a slight angle. The railings are decorated with small skulls. The whole ship is surrounded by a muddy fenced-in area 200 feet across. There is a steep gangplank leading up to the deck.
Twitchy Boom Boom |
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Twitchy pokes at one of the skulls.
"Those are Goblin skulls. I think we just reached the lair of Vorka the cannibal." Twitchy whispers to the others, looking slightly nauseated. "Keep your eyes and ears open, and keep quiet. We want to find her before she finds us."
Looking at the mud, Twitchy says, "Do you want me to fly in to get a rope or a vine across so that we don't have to walk through the front door? This is a ship, right? Gotta be rope somewhere."
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Unfortunately, Twitchy is so morbidly fascinated with the goblin skulls that she's not noticing anything else.

"Oooo. Big ship! Once we get rid of Vorka we could fix itand go be the best pirates ever!" Medge jumps up and down with excitement. She's too preoccupied to notice anything else around the ship.
"I'm gonna go get a closer look! Maybe there's a way we can sneak in. Fluffer flies too high to be sneaky." Medge sneaks down into the fenced in area
Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Gurp of the Swamp |

Gurp looks up from his slug bag just in time to see the goblin skulls. He makes a rather unpleasant face. "How tacky! Skulls gaudy decorations. If Gurp no kill Vorka, Gurp give decor advice."
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Gurp's eyes bug out, and he whisper-shouts to everyone, "HOLD YOUSELVES! THIS POOP FROM NASTY MONSTER HORSE!"
Ronk Bonk |
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Oblivious to most everything but he monster horse poop Ronk has taken his bonking stick and readied to attack. Whipping his head back and forth and asks Gurp Where is the monster horse? WE will kill it?

Medge the Curious |
Medge freezes at Gurp's shout. Slowly she reaches down and unsheathes the Gorge of Gluttons. She stares from the sword to Flamefinger. "Flamefinger gave Medge a sword for killing horses. He KNEW. Flamefinger is smartest, most mojo filled goblin! Medge will kill horse dead for Flamefinger!"

As Medge holds the sword aloft, you hear the squish of hooves in the muck. A black horse, huge and terrifying, gallops around the ship. It pauses for a moment, rearing up on two legs, as the morning sun breaks through the clouds behind it, bathing it in a fiery nimbus. It gives an fearsome whinny, snorting out plumes that look like smoke in the cool morning air. Then it gallops toward the fence and leaps over, landing right in the midst of the goblins.
DC 12 fear save or frightened for one round.

Well, there goes my chance to jump on the demon horse's back and ride it. :D
Startled by the Demon Horse, Twitchy screams in terror, "Bad Horse! Bad Horse!"
And now, I have the "Bad Horse" song from Dr. Horrible going through my head.

When Flamefinger points out the magic sling bullets and the potions, Twitchy takes a moment to ID them.

There's no recourse

Twitchy attempts to leap up to ride the Demon Horse, but doesn't make it all the way. Barely grabbing onto the mane, she screams, "Yee hah!" as she dangles like a complete idiot off the side of the horse as it gallops around the pasture.
Wolfwaker RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8 |
Medge's weapon is a Bane Weapon (!!!) against horses, doing an extra 2d6 (!!!) damage.
dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Mege cleaves a mighty overhand blow, slicing a large gash in the horse's neck. The enraged creature rears up and lets out a horrible whinny as Twitchy hangs on, causing Ronk to miss.
Gurp, Flamefinger, are you with us?
Gurp of the Swamp |
Gurp panics at the sight of Squishy getting injured. "Foul horsie demon! THE SWAMP REJECTS YOU!' He runs up to Squishy and casts Cure Light Wounds.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Squishy slithers away from the horse and tries not to get hit again. Total Defense

The mad steed kicks out at the Ronk and Gurp, then he twists to bite at Twitchy. He gives Ronk a nasty kick in the head.

As part of her glorious Ride check, Twitchy pulls herself up by the demon horse's mane on to the horse's back and spurs him into a double move across the muddy pasture. Her goal: to circle the horse back to ride past her friends and give them attacks of opportunity.
"Demon Horse has hurt my Ronk;
Demon Horse hurt Squishy too;
Now Demon Horse will face the bonk
When Ronk bonks this horse to glue!"
"And then will slice my fierce Medge;
Brave and and sharp and sneaky too
She'll give him her dog-slicers edge
And cut demon horse into two!"
"And curses fall from the swamp
As Gurp flings swamp mojo true;
Never more will this horsey romp
As acid spits him through and though."
"Hear this vengeful goblin bride!
This be your last horsey ride!"
Medge the Curious |

Medge gets ready to pounce as Twitchy steers the horse back her way. She pulls on her luck and waits for the right moment to attack"GGRRAAAAHHHH!" Right when the horse comes by she lets loose a warcry and lunges!
Fierce attack!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Crit?!?!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Twitchy pulls herself up on the horse and through a combination of kicking, pinching, and biting, manages to make the horse whirl around a circle, giving the other goblins a chance to strike at it. Medge raises the Gorge of Gluttons and expertly spears it right through the ribcage, causing it to collapse in a heap with a spurt of blood. The horse shudders and breathes no more.
The gangplank provides access to the ship, but has a large hornet's nest. There are plenty of creeping vines that would also provide a way to climb up. From the deck, you can hear the barking of two dogs.
Twitchy Boom Boom |
Twitchy leaps off the dead horse and pulls out the potions that we got off the dead human. As an alchemist, she can ID them by touch.
I already rolled spellcraft for this on the prior page, but never heard what they were.
Assuming one of them is a cure light wounds, she passes that potion to Ronk. If there is a second one, she waits to see how the first did with Ronk. If he's not mostly healed from the first, she gives him the second too.
If the first one heals him well enough, the second potion should go to Squishy.
"We need you in good fighting shape!"
And while we're at it, what are the other potions?
Eyeing the hornet's nest suspiciously, she remembers what she knows of hornets and what their nests usually weigh.
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
She scratches her head, then shrugs, realizing that she already knows all she needs to know. "They bite, they're nasty and they're Vorka's greeting for us. We don't want to go that way, but that's the only way Squishy can go."
She eyes Gurp. "Can Squishy stay behind, so that I can get all the rest of you up a harmless ladder?" She twirls her robe, to show where the ladder would be coming from. "Or do you want me to come up with one of my special plans and take out that nest?"
She pauses and looks up at it. "They look like bees, but I don't know much about hornets. Can we handle them like we did the bees, with lotsa smoke?'
Roll Knowledge Nature, Gurp! Do better than Twitchy did, please!
To Medge she says, "Vorka knows we're here. I'm going to take to the skies, and see where those nasty dogs are, and whatever other nasty surprises she may have for us." She tosses Medge the robe, in case the party needs the ladder off it.
Twitchy climbs on Fluffer and takes off. She looks around for both the dogs, and for pine trees with dead branches she can use to smoke a hive if Gurp wants to bring his slug...
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
...but is still so full of adrenaline from her demon horse ride that she truly is Twitchy today, and has trouble focusing.
She also wonders if it's possible to drop the hornet's nest on the dogs that she hears barking...
Wolfwaker RPG Superstar 2013 Top 8 |
I think I mentioned the potions in the comment thread, but you have:
Bull's Strength
Mage Armor
Cure Light Wounds
The nest is small enough to grab. Twitchy could try and grab it and drop it on the dogs. It would take a DC 25 Handle Animal ("push") and you would both be subject to one round of swarm damage, then you could drop it.
Gurp figures you could smoke them into sleepiness.
