We Be All Four Goblins! A PFS Goblining Adventure (Inactive)

Game Master James Martin

Poog peaks a dilapidated boat.

It was well known science that toads lived in dark wet places so that seemed like an excellent place to go.

After their snack, Chuffy hands a fistful of crossbow bolts and his dogslicer to Mogmurch, along with some vials of green goo. "You make them sting good? Like spider bites ok?" Please apply poison to his dogslicer and 4 bolts, please n thanks!

Chuffy waddles his now full self along with the others, having a severe case of the after lunch sleepies. "Be real sneaky, need to stay sneaky!" He points menacingly at the other 3 goblins as he starts to sneak along, his hand crossbow in one hand and his dogslicer in the other.

Take 10 on stealth for a ... 33, and take 10 on perception for traps or goodies for a 18/17.

Chuffy begins to sneak, while Poog goes straight for the boat!

An upturned boat, an old river barge by the look of it, sits in the mud here. The boat’s stern has been built into the fence, and a large hole has been smashed in the southern side to provide entrance to the dark hollow created by the hull.

As Poog creeps closer, he spots two pigs lounging beneath the boat: one is a massive sow and the other is a much smaller half-grown piglet.

Wisdom check!

Mogmurch continues gobbling the pig's delicious ears, tongue, snout, and ultimately brain while the others eat the inferior belly. He displays his new necklace proudly.

He washes down the pig with some tasty potions.

clw x3: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 5) + 3 = 10

He happily applies the goo for Chuffy while taunting him: "Stupid goblin not know how to use poison!"

When they approach the boat, he says, "More piggies? I'm still full!" Looking around at Chuffy and hearing his threat, Mogmurch dejectedly waits before launching his inevitable bomb at the boat.

Reta looks at the piggies. wis check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

"It's Squealy Nord! What's he doing here?" she exclaims.

She tries to find a way to let the piggies free.

As Reta begins to look for a way to free the piglet, he spots her! He begins to squeal and jump around, clearly excited to see you. However, the other overgrown sow lurches to her feet, her eyes wild and more of the those gourds strung around her neck!

Chuffy Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Mogmurch Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Poog init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Reta Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Princess Crackling: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Round 1:
Poog, Mogmurch, Chuffy
Princess Crackling
Reta

Poog, Mogmurch and Chuffy are up! The great sow, Princess Crackling, is pawing the ground ready to attack!

"Our piggie?" asks a stunned Mogmurch, suddenly very happy he had held off on the bomb. With Squealy Nord safely in Reta's care, he hesitates no longer!

bomb, ranged touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
fire damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Squealy Nord! Poog shouts.

He unleashes a furious burst of fire at the big piggie

FIRE HANDS DC 13: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) = 6

Chuffy cocks his head to the side when they holler about Squeely I hate that pig! I wonder how he got here?

But he's quickly distracted by the chance to shoot a stabby stick into the big big piggy. He raises his hand crossbow with its poisoned bolt and lets it fly!

Ranged Hand Crossbow + Poison Fort DC14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + (5, 3) = 11

Mogmurch's bomb explodes on the sow, burning it! Poog casts his fiery wave! Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8, which hits it broadsides! Chuffy fires, but the sow is trying to put out the fire, and he misses!

The sow lunges at Poog! Gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage!

Reta is up!

Reta steps up to the big, bad piggie. She gives it her signature scary grin, and then slashes at it.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Even though her slash misses the beast, she starts softly singing "Who's afraid of the big bad pig, big bad pig, big bad pig. Who's afraid of the big bad pig? Not the goblin heroes." If you know the song from the Disney version of the Three Little Pigs, it's that song.

Nice reference!

Reta swings, but the pig leaps aside!

Round 2: Chuffy, Mogmurch and Poog are up!

"Big bad pig? Yeeeaahhhh die piggy!" Chuffy hustles up and around to flank with Reta's scary face, stabbing with his dogslicer and its icky sticky drippy spider poison into her rear end. "We gonna get the best bits again King! WEEEE!"

Dogslicer + Flank + Poison: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 301d4 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (3, 3) = 6
Dogslicer crit? + Flank + Poison: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 261d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Medium spider venom: Injury 14 - 1/rd. for 4 rds. 1d2 Str 1 save

Mogmurch hops around impatiently, unable to burn the piggie while all the others selfishly surround it. "Move stupid goblins!"

Delay until there's some open space around the pig.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Chuffy cuts the pig deeply, but it doesn't seem to notice the poison. However it is bleeding pretty badly!

Poog stumbles backwards after being hit and pops off some fire as he does
FIRE BOLT vs touch, into combat: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The piggie is struck by Chief Poog's fire and yelps! The pig waivers but attacks Reta! Gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage!

Having attacked, it suddenly lets out a squeal and falls over, dead!

Combat over!

However, it seems the noise has attracted attention. Something under the house is making hooting-growling sounds!

Reta looks at Poog. "Reta hurt badly. Can Poog help?"

Now at 7/30 HP.

Chuffy looks at the bloodied Reta, then at Poog with a grin "Ya CHIEF Poog, fix Reta's boo boos. I'mma get ready for that noise!"

Chuffy reloads his hand crossbow then hides as best he can. Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Poog quickly lays down some heals on Reta

HEALZ: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
He then follows chuffy toward the sound of trouble

A large open area under the house has been filled with straw, branches, and uprooted underbrush—something big has made a nest of it. A trap door is set in the ceiling above.

As Chuffy creeps closer to the basement, he can see something LARGE rousing from the nest. It looks to be bear-shaped, but Chuffy can see feathers and a wicked beak instead of a maw.

Thanks, Poog. Reta may be too much of a goblin to say thank you, but I'm not.

Reta grips her dogslicer tightly and follows her 'friends.'

What sort of knowledge check here? Also, Reta, I believe we all got a healing potion at the start right?

Chuffy stays still as he eyes up the giant bird thing. Mmmm big bird, big eggs, big breakfast?

Knowledge Arcana might tell you about this beastie!

Ha, I'll make an untrained roll just in case! Knowledge:Arcana Untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Mogmurch has no idea what the giant chicken thing is, but he knows it looks like the perfect dessert for the sow he just ate.

Reta doesn't care what the thing is, she just wants to slice it.

Poog wonders why everyone is just staring at the chicken and tosses his necklace bead at the chicken

FIREBALL DC 14 Reflex: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

There is a howl of anger and pain as the fireball explodes. A second later this bizarre half-bear, half-owl monstrosity raises its huge, ursine claws in anger and charges out from under the house!

Chuffy Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Mogmurch Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Poog init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Reta Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Owlbear of DOOM: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Round 1:
Goblins
Owlbear!

Go goblins!

Chuffy's eyes go wide, and the large puss-filled boil on the top of his head dribbles a bit "Eeeek! Bad POOG!!" He barely lifts his hand crossbow and fires off a shot grazing his foot while the giant bear-chicken starts to roar to life.

Hand Crossbow + Sneak Attack + Spider Poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + (2, 2) = 6

"Owwwieee, damn you POOG! It burns like spider!"
Fort Save vs Critical Failure using Poison: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Wow, that didn't go very well... Chuffy doesn't have poison use so he 'exposed' himself with that nat 1 attack roll. Too bad I couldn't put that 17 up in the damn attack roll!

Chuffy hastily retreats a bit hopping up off his stinging foot and swearing at Poog.

Reta runs up to the weird thing. She isn't sure if her scary face works on whatever-this-thing-is-s, but it cant hurt to try. She grimaces and then swings.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
flame damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Mogmurch moves over to a clear spot where he gobbles one of the gourds on his necklace and burps fire at the owlbear!

Is it ok if I picked up the ones from the last sow as well?

fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Poog giggles at chuffy AM Chief, I do what I want

He takes aim with his fire bolt and fires it off at the weird thing.

Fire vs touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Sure, there were 3 on Princess Crackling.

Chuffy tries to poison himself, while Reta strikes a great blow! Mogmurch belches fire, leaving him with heartburn for days! Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 The bear-owl takes the full fire burp right in his beaky face! However its sudden stop causes Poog's fire bolt to miss by inches!

The bear-owl howls in anger, and you can hear deep voices from inside the house and stomping boots coming closer! The bear-owl attacks the only goblins close enough: Reta and Chuffy!

Claw vs Reta: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 damage!
Claw vs Chuffy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage!
Choosing a target: 1-Chuffy, 2-Reta: 1d2 ⇒ 2 Bite vs Reta: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage and a Grab attempt: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29!

Goblins are up!

Ever so pleased with his fire burp, Mogmurch creeps around Chuffy and tries it again!

breathe fire: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Huh, I thought I moved back, no problem, help split the damage some from Reta.

"Oeei! Big sharp claws on that chicken! Stab it! Stab it quick!" Chuffy looks nervously towards the house and the big chicken.

He takes a step to block out Reta's scary face from view and stabs Dogslicer + Flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 121d4 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (2, 2) = 6 Curses!

Chuffy howls in disbelief as he stabs at only feathers.

I didn't want Reta to soak the brunt of the nasty nasty bear-owl's many attacks!

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Brave Reta grimaces at the monster that has gripped her and swings her sword at it. I'm assuming she's grappled.

attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11

But Reta can't move her arms well enough, and her blade misses.

Now at 5 HP

Poog is all out of heals so he uses the only tool he has available to help Reta - more fire!

He pulls out his fire stick and uses it to throw another ball of fire at the feather biter.

Fireball, DC 14: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6) = 14

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

The bear-owl turns to avoid the worst of Poog's explosion, but can't avoid Mogmurch's flaming belch o' doom! It drops Reta with a spitting PTOOIE! sound and lurches at Mogmurch! AoO from Chuffy and Reta! I'll roll the bite if you don't kill the bear-owl!

The door to the house flies open and a great fearsome ogre lurches out! Pa wears hide armor made from several firepelt cougars, and an elk skull converted into a mask and helm to make himself look more ferocious. This is definitely the ogre that Wise Mummy Sprattleharsh warned you about!

Init, Ogre: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Round 3:
Poog
Pa Munchmeat
Chuffy, Reta and Mogmurch
Bear-owl

Pa bellows as loud as he can, which turns out to be pretty loud. "GETTA 'WAY FROM MY BEAR-OWL YA DAMN GOBBIN RUNTS!"

He murmurs a few words in a weird nature-y tongue and a burning sphere about the size of a goblin ignites next to Reta and tries to run her over! Reflex Save DC 15 from Reta or take 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4) = 14 fire damage!

POOOG is up!

Reta's save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

AoO on bear-owl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

edit:Was that half damage or none on a successful save? If half, Reta is at -2, but the AoO should be fine based on the order you narrated things.

You take no damage on a successful save!

Reta's blade sinks into the side of the bear-owl, causing it to hoot with pain as it collapses in a heap!

POOOOG!

Chuffy never ignores a chance for extra stabbin, NEVER. AOO vs Owlbear + Flank?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 241d4 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) - 1 + (6, 4) = 13

Poog spies Pa Munchmeat looks at the fire stick in his hand and figures eh what the Zarongel.

FIYAH BALL, DC14: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3) = 12

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The fireball hits Pa Munchmeat square on! He howls in pain and snarls a few curses that turn the air blue but he doesn't seem to take nearly as much damage as he should! He stares at Poog and the flaming sphere rolls at him! Reflex Save DC 15 or take 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3) = 11 fire damage! He then moves toward Reta as his spear ignites!

Chuffy, Reta and Mogmurch are up!

Reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Poog dodges the burnie ball.

"Woah Big PA! We new Chiefs and we gonna stab you up now!" Screams Chuffy as he tries to duck and dodge that big spear to get close to stab. Once he does he only half stabs to try to not get hit.... this time.

Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

STAB! Defensively for +3 AC: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 4 = 101d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

23 AC until next turn

Reta moves in close to the ugly thing and gives it her scary face.

1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14flanking
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Poog dodges, while Chuffy rolls into place, but cannot sink his dogslicer home. Reta stabs, but the big ogre knocks the blade aside!

Mogmurch!

Mogmurch whips out his potion of fire resistance and chugs it down. He doesn't like the looks of that rolling fireball!
