Elliana d'Illaise |
Elliana shares what she knows about the Monkey Goblins with the others.
Feel free to open that spoiler.
Elliana moves over to Rrriiip and hands the Grippli a waterskin, patting him on the shoulder consolingly. "Withdrawl is not a pretty thing friend. You should try get some sleep."
With that she takes a seat nearby, examining one of her sabers with interest.
Rakus Satash |
"I'll take the last lookout shift. The sooner I get my rest out of the way the better."
He finds a defensible spot and settles in without removing any of his gear. Ignoring comfort over protection.
Never have to worry about sleeping armorless with this guy. :)

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Xalyth settles herself into a comfortable spot. "Kayla, let's get some rest. Then we can do some recon during the darkest hours overnight." She looks around at the others. "Who'll take first watch?"
want to know the results of the Sense Motive first, then Kayla will get some rest. well depending somewhat on the results.
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Kayla realized that Rrriiip had no intentions of giving her the spyglass so she takes a seat nearby him to keep an eye on him.
as she watched him something seemed off, Xalyth mentioned getting some rest, but Kayla almost ignored her at first.
whispering to Xalyth, Rrriiip is off, I don't like this. I think things are going to get ugly
Kayla moves closer to Rrriiip and keeps a hand on her blade.
using the poisoning sheath to coat her blade in Giant Wasp Venom.
ready action to strike if Rrriiip make a violent move toward anyone.
ready attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
ready damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + (1, 2) + 4 = 11
DC 18 fort save for the poison, 1d2 dex damage
Zaphani |
Zaphani was pleased with the decision to hold off on the attack as it didn't seem they would do well without further planning. Looking around as other started settling in, Zaphani agreed to take first watch, taking a position that allowed her a good vantage point. She was curious about why Kayla was eyeing the grippli so carefully, but she did not question it as the frog had been rather shifty the whole trip. She was still curious why He Who Walks in Blood wanted him killed, but that didn't really matter. Killing him wouldn't be a problem and, as it was beginning to appear, might be a blessing for his tribe, even if they didn't know it yet.
Elliana d'Illaise |
Sense Motive Rrriiip-1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Elliana shrugs when the frog doesn't drink, but sighs inwardly in frustration.
Sense Motive Kayla-1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Hopefully that would be enough to catch the movement towards Rrriip? Elliana was actively waiting to pounce on the frog anyway so... If not, just ignore my next part.
Elliana flicked her gaze to the Grippli, before standing up slowly and stretching, her hand tightening on the saber she had been examining earlier. She cast her gaze to the little gnome for a moment before rolling her shoulders.
Elliana should be within reach of the Grippli, she set up her gear beside him, within reach of him. If he had taken the poison, she wanted to attack him straight afterwards.
Readied Attack-1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d8 + 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + (4, 2) + 5 = 12
Blade is poisoned. Fort DC 14 to save. Duration is 2 Rounds. Initial effect is 1 Con Damage. Secondary Effect Unconscious for 1d3 Hours.
Rrriiip |
Rrriiip can not take anymore and lunges at Kayla and Elliana when they approach him. It is his doom. Their readied attacks with poisoned blades are too much for him in this weakened state and he collapses dead. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
You all get a sense of warmth as you watch the blood leave Rrriiip's body. It truly feels this death was divine will.
Rakus Satash |
Rakus was half way to getting up and loosing a spell when the two ladies take care of things. Oh well, that was his fate and his usefulness was very much lacking so it was coming all the quicker.
"Well I guess getting things done before bed rather then in the morning is better. That said would you mind cleaning the body and making a stretcher to carry it."
He gives a slight smile as if it was all business as usual.
"Dear Rrriiip is not done helping us just yet. Once I have the right spells in the morning, we will have need of him again."
He goes about examining the body for anything useful that the dead frog kin no longer needs. Using spells of detection while he was at it.
Zaphani |
Zaphani glances over from her watch post when the frog lunges at her compatriots. As he was dead before she even stood up, she simply strolled over for the sole purpose of dipping the points of her swords into the freshly spilled blood. Achaekek had blessed this kill, the Grippli's blood was a blessing.
"We'll need proof of death"
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Kayla sheaths her blade, and takes the spyglass she had been wanting, and the compass looks interesting as well.
She then decides to get some rest before the scouting mission.
GM-Gathrix |
General Recap- The group has killed Rrriiip, the Grippli Tracker that was sentenced to die by Acheakek himself. Many of you have inferred that this was probably due to the discord he brought to his people with his drug addiction.
You can see the monkey goblins below you from the raised cliff Rrriiip brought you to, to show you their encampment. He recommended collecting "shiny rocks" from the coast line to the North East, but there are dangers on the way. The Monkey Goblin chief is your target, and some of you have had the idea to simply sneak in and eliminate him, but with that there is increased risk.
Kayla - Black scorpion |
After a few hours rest, Kayla slips out of camp and makes her way to the Monkey goblin's camp. hoping to take advantage of the dark of the night.
She already is aware of their darkvision so she tries to avoid the more obvious hiding places.
This trip is to scout the camp, learn its layout and hopefully a better idea of their numbers.
stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
GM-Gathrix |
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Slipping back into camp, Kayla lets those still asleep a chance to rest. but once everyone is up and about, Kayla gives a complete de-brief of what she discovered.
see spoiler above
I think this division in the ranks could be used to our advantage. I should be able to point out those that are against Yoki but I don't have any means to communicate to them.
Zaphani |
Zaphani seems deep in thought as Kayla delivers her report. This information did sound like something they could use.
"Fascinating. If we could somehow make contact with those against him or whoever the 'rightful leader' is, we could use this to our advantage. If not, we could try and find a way to send a message anyone understands, get them to openly fight.
Rakus Satash |
Rakus listened and thought after he had prayed and studied for his spells.
"Hmmm, well I speak Goblin. If we can tell which are opposed to Yoki and speak with them. We could arrange for their aid in taking his head. That would be better then going through the trouble of arranging for Rrriiip's tribe to aid us."
As to Kayla's thoughts on the mantis.
"The red mantis does not approve of regicide. A tribal leader does not fall under that, nor do warlords and their ilk which in the case of goblins are one and the same. Perhaps his method of attempted ascension was provocative, normally the strongest goblin leads. If a weak yet clever goblin used trickery to attempt to usurp or bred dissent then I can see the insult. But that is nether here or there. Anyway to tell Yoki's opposition from his supporters?"
Elliana d'Illaise |
Elliana frowned before standing slowly, stretching. "We should go find those shiny stones, it will help for us to make a connection with the tribe. We can poison him and be sure that maybe at least half of them will support us, right?"
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Very well then Kayla says agreeing on Elliana's suggestion.
using her new compass, Kayla will lead the way toward the stones based on information she got from Rrriiip before his unfortunate "accident"
GM-Gathrix |
I am going to assume you all agree to seek out some shinny stones from the coastline to get in with the tribe.
Without a tracker, the way to the coast is a bit unclear.
Kayla - Black scorpion |
survival (untrained): 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
the dice gods do not favor this game at all, I would have rather just gone in the camp and taken out the target and be done with it...
Oh well to late now...
Kayla tries to get her bearings trying to find the way to the sea. If we can reach the ocean we should be alright.
Kayla tries to mark some sort of trail to get back to the monkey goblin tribe.
turning toward what's left of the group, something is coming.
Kayla tries to get up a tree as the sounds get closer.
climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
almost feel like taking a level of ranger just to get out of this mess
Kayla - Black scorpion |
Kayla quickly scurries down far enough to warn the others. Orc riders six of them coming from that direction. indicating the direction they are approaching from.
I think we could use them for assistance to the beach.
I will await in the tree, ready in case negotions become, well, aggressive
