Reta and Poog race each other chewing down the slugs, while Chuffy has problems getting even one to stay down.
As the two goblins grab slugs and toss them into their mouths, Reta decides to begin spitting the poison sacs out, while Poog simple shoves the slugs into his mouth and chomps down.
Poog Fort: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 5 = 0 Penalty is for eating the poison bladders
As the both goblins finish their slugs, Slorb has both approach. But as Poog begins to take a few steps, he curls up and begins to wretch all the slugs back up onto the ground.
Slorb looks from Big Chief to Reta then to Poog, finally turning back to Reta. Big Chief says you good to know not to eat bad stuff. Smart goblin should have mighty weapon. Slorb turns to pull a masterfully crafted dogslicer from the chest and presents it to Reta. This is Big Chief's Gorge of Gluttons. It has feasted on many a horse and evil dog. Big Chief wants you to use it, but bring it back or Chief will come and get it.
Reta Bigbad! |
Reta is elated at winning the competition and getting the Gorge of Gluttons, sparing Poog a triumphant stare the giant headed gobliness grabs the 'slicer from Slorb and proclaims:"ME RETA BIGBAD! ME STAB FOR THE GLORY OF THE CHIEF AND TRIBE! AND SOMETIMES SLICE TOO!!!"
GM Tobi |
Poog you are sickened due to the slug slime and poison for 24 hours.
As Reta shouts her triumph and drools over her new blade, a hulk of a goblin pushes his way through the crowd. The goblin's face is covered in scars and a chunk of his ear is missing, you know this goblin as a fairly well known warrior of the tribe. He glares at the 'heroes'.
I dare the heroes to Hide and Go Club. To emphasize his point, he pulls out a large club from behind his back. Heroes go hide, Licktoads find, we club. Easy.
Everyone who wants to participate, please make a stealth roll.
Mogmurch - ERW |
Mogmurch shrieks in terror and dashes into the swamp. Dashing around frantically he searches for a place to hide. After a few seconds he finds a hollow three trunk and tries to squeeze inside.
stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
While he is able to fit inside he finds the place filled with bugs and can't stop squirming as they crawl over him.
Mogmurch - ERW |
THIS supresses it for a little while.
Wismuth salix Can help get rid of it
Merck's PFS PGC |
No... more... daredaredare... Delirious from the slug experience and afraid to get clubbed Chuffy crawls away to a nearby bush where he lies very still in fetal position thinking about his mommy.
Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
GM Tobi |
The brute of a goblin glares at Reta for a long time as the crowd of goblins begin to cheer, chanting "Club, Club, Club, Club" as they go out looking for the heroes. Finally the brute breaks eye contact and goes off in search of other goblins.

The horde of goblins go out searching, some passing right by the stump the Mogmurch is hiding in, one even sitting down on it. But they can't seem to find him. Other goblin squeel in delight as they spot something in a ditch. They quickly converge and give Poog a clubbing. Blub: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
The night rolls on as goblins continue to search for Chuffy, but no one can find him. Even the Big Chief is confused on where he went. Finally Slorb calls out.
Okay dare over. Come out.
Once the goblins appear, Big Chief smiles at Chuffy as he pulls a large ring off his finger and passes it to Slorb.
This is the mystical Ring That Lets You Climb Real Good. This is personal treasure from Big Chief, so bring back.
Merck's PFS PGC |
Emerging from his own personal pocket plane Chuffy returns ;P
Hearing the summons Chuffy stumbles out if his hiding place back to the group.
Ooohhh! Thank you Big Chief, thankyouthankyouthankyou. Chuffy says with a big toothy smile, his eyes hipnotised by the ring's shine, all hardship forgotten.
Mogmurch - ERW |
Mogmurch wiggles his way out of the tree stump so he can return to the party. But me hide good too he wines to Rempty as she licks his face clean.
GM Tobi |
You watch as the Big Chief whispers to Slorb, who nods several times before turning to the gathered goblins.
Final dare for the heroes. Big Chief wants to see you test your might against the .... RUSTY EARBITTER. Slorb points to a group of goblins. You bring out the earbitter.
The goblins hurry off and in a few minutes return dragging a 20 foot long, hollow coil of rusty wires, barrel hoops, bent swords, and thorny branches and vines. You know why the Earbitter is called that, several partially severed goblin ears can be seen tangled in the sharp internal coils.
Those who wish to go through the Earbitter need to make 3 Escape Artist DC 15 to make it through. You can retry an attempt, but each failed roll deals 1d4-2 damage (any roll of less than 1 means no damage).

Poog the Sagacious |
I guess I'm going to be sickened the entire adventure, so I've got -2 throughout everything we do unless this extends beyond 24 hours.
Feeling useless after eating too many slugs and enduring a beating, Poog nevertheless feels compelled to attempt the dares.

Looks like I took 8 damage.

Mogmurch - ERW |
Mogmurch laughs to see someone suffer more than he did.
You make Mogmurch look not so bad, you OK Poog. Mogmurch see if he can fix your belly.
[ooc]Tobi, any chance I could whip up some Wismuth salix for my sickened brethren?[/b]
Reta Bigbad! |
Reta, tilts her huge head from side to side as she sees her ancient nemesis, the earbiter! With a squeal of fear mixed with hateful resentment she hurriedly flees the scene fearing the confrontation.
"Earbiter nevah get Reta again! NEVAH!!!"
GM Tobi |
Mog, you can see if you can't whip something up. It's a DC 20 to craft that item. If you can't I will say that there is something coming up soon that will get rid of the sickened.
The Licktoads hoot and holler as the heroes work their way through the Earbitter. Many cheers are heard as Chuffy emerges from the Earbitter with only a few ripped clothes to show.
Mog gets stuck a bit more, a few small gashes his new trophies, but poor Poog gets stuck early on. After being prodded by a few thrown stones from the crowd manages to move a bit further before becoming entangled more. The crowd shrieks and laughs, tossing leftovers at the cleric. Finally the goblins all leave just as Poog makes his way out of the torturous machine.
Big Chief looks around and finally motions for Poog to stand before him. Leaning down, he whispers to Slorb who translates.
[b]Big Chief sees the tenacity of Licktoads within Poog, obviously gifted to him from Zarongel. So to appease Zarongel, Big Chief gives you one of the tribes most coveted treasures, Big Chief's own Useful Robe That Is Useful.
Treat the Useful Robe as a Robe of Useful Items with 4 patches left, a ladder, a three-legged turtle, a horseshoe, and a blowhorn
With that the dares are done and the Chief, through Slorb, bids all Licktoads to eat, drink, and burn the bad luck away. The heroes leave in the morning.
Mogmurch - ERW |
Alchemy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Woot!
Mogmuch goes about for a while gathering 'mystic' grasses, a 'magic' toad and 'special' mud. he put it all in a pot and brings to a boil. Within a minute or two it turns a sickly pink color. He lets it cool a little and hands the pot to Poog.
Drink this Poog, make you feel much better after you throw up.
GM Tobi |
The next morning, you all wake up bleary eyed and tired from the party that lasted way into the night. Slorb gathers you up and brings you back before Big Chief.
Get fireworks and bring them here to me. The chief tells you before motioning for Slorb to bring out a chest. Take leftover fireworks. Use them, but come back with more.
Inside the chest is 2 Desnan Candles, 4 Paper Candles, and 1 Skyrocket. I'll put the info on them in the Campaign info
Looking at the map, you can see that the journey to the fireworks stash should be a short one - a slog of not quite a mile through the swamp along the creek's southern bank. It should only take you about an hour to slog through the swamp.
Mogmurch - ERW |
Mogmurch have map! Mogmurch leader! Mogmurch get most Fireworks!
The greedy goblin will takes 1 Desnan Candle, 2 Paper Candles, and the Skyrocket if no one else fights him for them
Mogmurch - ERW |
Mogmurch narrows his eyes at Reta, hand slowly moving towards one of his bombs. He stops though as mischievous smile spreads across his face. OK Reta, you leader. You in charge of stabby things and yelling. Me be Boom guy and Map guy. That OK?
Yeah Reta be leader and be up front so when I boom stuff maybe she get boomed too. Then me be leader and all goblin's know you make me mad you get BOOMED! Thinks Mogmurch.
Poog the Sagacious |
Poog's eyes narrow to slits. He is obviously feeling much better, and some of his typical goblin traits are returning.
"Poog leader! Poog leader!!!" His melon-like head looks like it is about to pop.
He seems to regain some measure of control, then says: "I has magic stick," he adds. "Magic stick of Not Be Dead."
He brandishes some kind of wand-like piece of wood, which has some small runes etched on one end.
"I use stick of Not Be Dead when goblins hurt, and make them not dead. Any who say I leader get wand used; anyone say not leader, never EVER use wand, no matter what!"
Poog holds a dead toad up to his left ear. "Yes," he whispers. "Me remember for sure."
Mogmurch - ERW |
Hey! Mogmurch make you feel better. You should give Mogmurch magic stick! The goblin alchemist makes a half-hearted attempt to grab the stick.
I have to boom them all up. When Mogmurch only hero to return I have all treasure and greatness for self! plots the goblin.
Poog the Sagacious |
"Magic Stick of Not Be Dead only work for me!" Poog says.
He looks at Mogmurch. "Mogmurch make me feel better. Maybe I use stick once for Mogmurch even if he say I not leader, but maybe not twice. I not use stick for anyone else if not say I leader."
Reta Bigbad! |
Reta looks at Poog uncertain between her natural instinct to stab the smaller goblin and caution, not wanting to lose the change of not being dead if need arises:"Mmmmh... and what happens if Reta makes Poog dead for good? What happens to the stick then?" she growls trying to mask it as an innocent question

As the goblins argue they move through the forest, making their way along the path. Soon Reta and Mog begin to notice the trees being filled with wisps of spider webs, and they're becoming thicker.

And I'm sorry there isn't a map for this one, so we'll just have to do the best we can.
Reta Bigbad! |
As Reta walks with the others still unsure about how to deal with the Poog's dilemma she suddenly realizes something moves obove her:"What might it be... what might it be... Could it be... Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many!!!!! RUN!!!
YEAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!Suddenly screaming Reta moves away from the spider as fast as she could
Retreat to a safer place
GM Tobi |
Reta turns and "tactically falls back" as shadows move enough to reveal a massive spider in the trees about 30 feet up. The goblins blink at it before realizing Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many
Random: 1d3 ⇒ 2 1: Chuffy 2: Poog 3: Mog
The Lotslegs turns on Poog and ejects a mass of webs at him.
Web Ranged: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
The webs hit the surprised goblin, entangling him quickly.

Reta stops when she feels she's far enough not to be in immediate danger:What me to do now? Me can not go back to chief without fire-sticks! But me not want get eaten by Lotslegseatgoblinbabiesmany! Maybe... maybe I can stab from here?
So thinking Reta takes out her bow and shoots at the spider
Attack roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage roll: 1d4 ⇒ 3
GM Tobi |
Sorry Chuffy only Reta, Mog, and the spider were able to act int he surprise round. But now we go into regular rounds.
As Poog struggles against his sticky bonds, Mog lets out a screach before tossing a bomb up at the spider. The bomb hits squarely, singing parts of the spider and the webbing all around it.
Reta draws out her bow and fires, but the arrow catches itself amid the hanging webbing.
Combat Order: Round 1
