"Lamashtu's chosen Nok-Nok be
That's why his eyes number three
Middle eye is not real... yet
But soon will be, on that you bet!
Stupid gobs want Nok-Nok dead
Bang a drum beat on his head
His Loyalty, it knows no end
Nok-Nok longshank's bestest friend!"
Are there any girls here?
Not girl, but Nok-Nok is soon to be fith goblin god! ...take me with you and I will bless you with my glorious favor!

Grazzle will go to the Woods, full of tasty bugs to eat and things to See.
Oh my! I don't know that I'll be of any help against these filthy creatures! Er, no offence, Nok-Nok.
I suppose I might be able to help coordinate efforts...from the safety of the City Gate, that is! Don't be alarmed if you don't see me...I will likely be just behind the parapet, waiting to strike! yes. That's it.

Grazzle goes to the Woods to See Yes, to See and find food. The bugs are smaller here than home, and Grazzle is cold So cold. Grazzle walks along the road, heading into the woods. A man, long dead, lays hidden in the brush. Curious, Grazzle heads to where he Saw the man, and finds him holding a finely crafted mace. Magic. Fire.
Grazzle prefers his walking stick, and proceeds past the humanClumsy, brutish weapon, uninterested.
Grazzle has a human Not a pet or food that travels with him, recording what he does for other humans. He stays to write about the dead man, so Grazzle heads deeper into the wood. Beware! Grazzle whips his head around in time to see a small, canine mammal leap at him. Grazzle reaches into his power Blessed be the Lizard Gods! and calls forth a blade of fire, channeling it into the beast. More! Danger! Heeding what Grazzle Sees, Grazzle taps into my divine power to channel extra energy into the spell. Grazzle's spell rips the creature apart, leaving charred flesh and scarred bones.
Again! Go! Grazzle Sees the future, and presses forth into the Woods. Grazzle walks for some time, stopping occasionally to eat the strange bugs of the forest. On the big tree, a gift from the Lizard Gods Grazzle walks around the trunk of the big tree, and sees O'ak moss. Grazzle smiles, and pulls a vial of incomplete potion from his robes. Grazzle scrapes some moss off the tree, grinds it fine, and mixes it into the potion. Power, add the power Grazzle pushes a little power into the mixture. Yes! Good! Grazzle's magic binds the components together into a potion. Stowing the completed potion into his robes, he sits to rest. Deep in the woods, your quarry lies.

Nok-Nok will show his divinity by bringing down Gobs Fortress. Lamashtu has shown this to him. He strides boldly towards the Fortress, which looks more like sneaking in a side back entrance.
Must be a Licktoad fortress as Nok-Nok immediately comes across a Toad. Nok-Nok jumps after it quickly, thinking Toad might make good snack later.
Toad zigged as Nok-Nok's foot came down. *squash* Squished toad between the toes sounds less appealing for snack. Nok-Nok wipes his foot off cursing stupid toad and continues on.
As he rounds a corner, Nok-Nok hears terrified sounding singing of longshank. Hard to determine where is coming from, but longshank sounds like in need of friend, so Nok-Nok tries to follow sound of the voice, but as he rounds a corner he trips over a bracer left in the hallway. Stupid Gobs always leaving stuff around, but Nok-Nok can use in his divine smiting!
Clearly Lamashtu favors Nok-Nok. He quickly straps on the bracer, pulls out his compass and tries to hone in again on distressed longshank friend to be.
Opening a door, Nok-Nok finds a Cultist poised over a table with a dagger upraised. Nok-Nok charges forward with his Rochin to save new longshank friend!
Rochin quivers in the Cultist's back as Nok-Nok glances around to see if anyone was alerted by the brief struggle. No longshank friend to be seen...must have been a different room. Nok-Nok slinks under the table to calm his nerves.

"Good day, Captain. A fine day in our fair city!"
A fine day to extort money from these poor souls entering our city, eh, you corrupt swine?
"Lovely weather today, don't you think? LOVELY weather."
Lovely weather.
For justice.
Aric can only bear the patronizing of the guard captain's forced smile for so long before pushing past him and climbing the steps of the City Gate. Nobility has its privileges after all, whether or not the captain is in on the scheme to get bandits through the gate, he values his position enough to not obstruct one of the city's upper crust. And what harm will this flouncy fop be anyway?
Fool.
Mavaro's intel suggests the smugglers are scheduled to enter this hour, and while he is not comfortable relying solely on the supernatural source, chatter from the previous night's ball confirmed it. With the occultist standing by below at the gate proper, Aric intends to handle this himself.
At the top of the wall Aric ducks into an empty guardhouse. He may have his quick-change garb on, but whether it is smuggler or corrupt guard, he knows he will have to fight a bandit to close these gates to evil. And if past performance is any indication, once you let one monster through, they just keep coming.
He stashes his dog whistle in his kit, withdrawing a compass with which to orient his plan. Then, with a flourish, he reverses his cloak and dons his cowl. Aric is gone. There is only...
The Red Raven.

Emerging from the guardhouse, The Red Raven pushes his cloak back to proudly brandish his red leathers . While he prefers to remain hidden until the opportune moment, he prefers those that see him be stricken by the fear of knowing whom they face.
Skulking along the wall, the eyes of The Red Raven scour both sides of the gate, scouting the crowd for evildoers, and searching for the body language of one intent on skullduggery. Around one side of a parapet is a weapon rack, empty but for a single longbow. It looks serviceable but its negligent user has thrust the wide part of the curve into the narrow slot, wedging it unnaturally into place.
This weapon could do well in the service of vengeance, especially from this height.
The Red Raven prepares to tug the bow loose, then remembers a quick-looting technique he saw used by his nimble-fingered colleague Nok-Nok. Hoping the blessings of the goblin's quartermaster god () are with him, the Raven gives the bow a sharp twist as his pulls.
The torque is sharp enough to pull the free. He must remember to thank Nok-Nok later.
But he is here on a mission, so the Raven remembers his training , falling back into his skulting posture, and continues to patrol.
No sooner does he return to his task, than he hears a sharp clank, and futher down the wall, sees a grappler being recovered by a Goblin Raider who has just finished scaling the wall. BRIGAND.
Before he can act, however, the Raven is struck by a palpable wave of what can only be called Goblin Stench.
. Traveling with Nok-Nok informs the Raven of what this is, and his spy reflexes shift hims a few steps to the side so he is no longer directly downwind. While he still feels his gorge rising, he forces it down and focuses on cutting down this knave.
While the longbow is serviceable, with the blessing of the spy behind him, this is a job for his trusty rapier. .
The Raven lunges forward, piercing the creature's heart. It lets out nary a squeak before it's head lolls bad, revealing his heretofore unseen companion just behind. This is the Bandit matching Mavaro's description. So this is the gutterscum funneling filth into the city.
Not today.
Knowing how grabby bandits can be, the Raven kicks his fallen bow behind him , then, holding the goblin up still skewered on his rapier, he charges the bandit, pinnning him against the wall and thrusting his blade through the goblin and into the bandit.
The blade pierces the bandit's lungs and he lets out a wordless wheeze before expiring. The Red Raven places a foot on the goblin's chest and heaves his blade out of the two foes, toppling them to the ground.
"Not today," he repeats, this time aloud in a guttural snarl.
Their equipment is nothing worth keeping to the vigilante; best leave them to the city guard. But his keen eye catches a rumple in the bandit's vest; simply disheveled to the layperson's eye, the noble fashionista would know that drape and angle was too sharp and rumpled to be fabric.
Ripping open the lining of the garment, he finds a parchment; delivery schedules and smuggling routes, all leading back to a single Farmhouse not far outside the City Gate. At last. Enough with treating the symptoms; it is time to cure the disease.
The Raven scrawls a note to Mavalo on the back on the parchment that the threat here is ended and sticks it to the Bandit with his own dagger, then pulls out his compass and orients himself towards the Farmhouse (). Using the goblins grappler, he launches himself off the city gate and down into the countryside to dispense justice.
(a short but stealthy jog later...)
The Raven approaches the Farmhouse through the overgrown crops to avoid detection. These fields haven't been cared for in months; an obvious front for evildoers.
Before reaching the Farmhouse proper, The Red Raven spots a Battered Chest just outside the back door. A smuggler's cache. Could this contain some useful tools against evil? Some clue as to their motivation or ultimate goals? It is worth the time to investigate before charging into this den of evil?
Caution. Planning. Useful tools in the vigilante arsenal. The Red Raven backs slowly into the edge of the crops, fading into the unharvested foliage and weighs his options.

Mavaro takes a gander at the uncovered Battered Chest, and determines that it definitely needs to be brute forced open (thinking about his Portable Ram on top to gain 1d8+1 on Strength).
Obviously this doesn't have any bone cogs in it, otherwise Mavaro would have been more motivated to open it. (Banish barrier)
Without a way to explore again, Mavaro discards Flight Arrows and draws Portable Ram, revealing a Heavy Wooden Shield on top of his deck.
Grazzle rises from his respite, and proceeds to push deeper into the Woods It's time to go. Grazzle walks until the trees thicken, the underbrush grows wilder, and the passage narrows. Danger! Grazzle stops and looks and Sees Trap, deliberate, danger this is a Trapped Passageway, lined with razor-like thorns and poisonous plants.
Grazzle asks the lizard gods for their favor, studying the passage . Grazzle Sees Flesh torn, toxins in the blood he can not force his way through, so wraps his exposed skin in his cloak and carefully begins Slow moving steady through the passage.
Grazzle makes it through the passage We saw the way unscathed, whispering a prayer to his gods. Beyond, there is a clear trail widening ahead, so he strides forward She who laid the trap is near! Grazzle's eyes widen, realizing whomever set that trap is surely near There! and whirls around to see a Goblin Raider with a large head and a menacing blade drop out of the trees.
Even with his Sight, Grazzle was caught off guard, and drops one of his totems The gods! as he drops back into a fighting stance.
The Goblin Raider screams and charges Left she comes, but Grazzle dodges to the right and evades her strike. Grazzle pulls a carved snake figure from his robes Venom hisses, venom burns, imbuing it with energy and flinging it at the screaming goblin female. The magic turns the wooden figure into a Venom Strike - a six-foot long bog viper Bite bite bite that sinks its fangs into the Goblin Raider's neck. The venom her blood, on fire, enhanced by the magic, causes the woman to scream and fall to the ground, writhing on the ground as it spreads, killing her. She's still twitching several minutes later, even though she died in seconds.
Protection, defense, guarding. Grazzle slowly climbs the tree to find what the Goblin Raider left behind. Her pack contains mostly worthless trinkets and goblin pickles Not good for non-goblins; he picks them up to bring them to his ally, Nok-Nok, but is distracted by a crudely drawn map. A cave outside the city is marked on the map Many Goblins there. He leaves the pickles, grabs the map, and begins to head out of the Woods.
Once clear of the trees, he channels healing energy Cure into himself, repairing his wounds and vital energy, and heads towards the Treacherous Cave to See again.

Alright, stupid cultist was not Gobs Chief...so Gobs Chief is still around. Must find to bring down fortress. Nok-Nok is about to leave to continue his search, when he hears footsteps approaching the door. He ducks behind and waits and sees a chief-esq looking Goblin.
As the Goblin Henchman passes Nok-Nok's position he charges his back, Nok-Nok twists the Rochin in and takes the large Goblin to the floor. He twisting the spear a final time Nok-Nok pulls it out and and starts looking for an exit.
With gob chief dead, fortress should collapse on it's own.
Treacherous Cave
He's about to head back the way he came, but the sound of an oncoming patrol forces Nok-Nok to reroute through the caves near the fortress.
Nok-Nok has heard of these caves from longshank Quartermaster in town who said they thought Gobs had been leading attacks out of them. They talked for a really long time about possible paths through the caves. Nok-Nok tries really hard to remember what he said, but can't...since he just kept going on and on and on... So lacking any hard intel he just heads forward as quietly as possible.
As Nok-Nok is walking he trips over a Wand of Shield that someone dropped that got wedged in a crack in the floor. Fortunately Lamashtu must have provided this as it appears to not have been broken despite it fouling up his feet.
Nok-Nok picks it up and continues his journey out of the caves.

As The Red Raven considers the chest, he finds his message was received as he sees Mavaro move in from another direction and deal with it.
Returning his attention to the Farmhouse proper, he briefly considers entering as his alter ego, talking his way through the encounter, then shakes his head. The denizens are either peasant farmers, sooner to be hostile than genuflect to a noble, or more likely full of bandits and thieves who require swift retribution rather than swift wit.
Leaping towards the door, he takes a quick glance through the adjacent window before charging in, , and see that it is empty save for a chair and small table covered in bandages, both bloody and clean. A first aid station?
Not so wounded as we were led to believe. So much the better.
The Raven pushes silently into the room and as he glides to the nearest egress, he notes a short rod poking out from beneath the bandages, and, is that a rune of healing? Unwilling to pause in his quest, the Raven makes a snap assessment as he passes.
Unable to confirm it's value, he pushes forward. As he prepares his charge, a voice unbidden comes to his mind. "There is a rather violent looking boar in that next room there, my dear."
The Raven does not start quite to much as the first time he employed her, but he is still unaccustomed to the psionic powers of his detective consultant. He buries an internal curse, but it is apparently not enough to only think the curse.
"Don't take that tone with me. You contracted me for warnings of the unexpected. You stormed in hear expecting bandits, not livestock. Don't blame me if the unexpected isn't what you weren't expecting." He doesn't know how he should be able to hear her huff, but he imagines it is so. Hand on his rapier, he moves forward to skewer the beast.
Time to bring home the bacon.
Without the detective's warning, he admits he may have been taken aback by the creature's ferocity, but knowing what to expect, The Raven is properly prepared to strike.
Catching the big unawares, the needle-sharp point of The Raven's rapier pierces the creature's jugular. The plump pig would indeed make a feast; if circumstances allow, he should certainly recover the carcass and serve it up in a celebration to Baron Seager. It would be poetic to serve the corrupt baron a mouthful of his ill-gotten gains.
Noble frivolity later. For now...justice.

After marveling at the sheer volume of pig's blood that the Raven's attack produced, Mavaro strides forward seeking a new discovery. His curiosity is rewarded, as he delicately removes a thin stoppered bottle from its nook amongst the straw and hay. Mavaro dismisses his Mind Thrust to search his deck for Possession, then places it on top of his deck to boost his Intelligence to equal his Knowledge skill.
Having successfully added the Potion of Ruggedness to his arsenal as the obviously most interesting item here, Mavaro plops down cross-legged and becomes absorbed in the aged label, attempting to decipher its ancient text.
Aaaand scene.
Grazzle, on his way to the Treacherous Cave, Sees his allies and knows their wounds Damaged, hurt, tired. He channels energy through the connections made with them, allowing them to heal their wounds.
Grazzle finds his way to the entrance of the Treacherous Cave Earth gods are angry, and just inside the mouth of the cave he notices a Quarterstaff leaned up against the stone. The wood is well carved, and the weapon is nicely balanced; Grazzle takes the staff with him as he prepares to head deeper into the cave.
Bones weary, difficult to See Grazzle leans against the staff, suddenly tired for reasons he cannot See. He channels energy into himself, letting the divinity of the Lizard gods soothe his aches and reinvigorate his spirit.
Grazzle closes his eyes Focus, discipline, power and Sees deeper into the cave.

Nok-Nok thinks really hard, then sees dog shaped stone formation and remembers! Longshank quartermaster said left of icky dog.
Quickly Nok-Nok navigates the rest of the Treacherous Cave and soon sees a Farmhouse on a clearing. He quickly runs up to his bestest friends Raven guy and Mavarow! Nok-Nok cleared Gobs fortress all by his-self, told you I'm the best!
About that time a Goblin Henchmen charges out of the door of the farmhouse using the element of surprise to try and get past the party.
1 - Nok-Nok is da best!!
2 - Raven guy is almost as sneaksy/stabby
3 - Mavarow the unprepared?
It's a race between the three to see who can dispatch the goblin the fastest!!
Raven's fight!
Does goblin treachery know no bounds?
A call to arms alerts The Red Raven that the Farmhouse ringleader is beating feet in a cowardly retreat. But they cannot escape justice.
No one can escape justice.
And yet, even as his lightning reflexes carry him forward in a lunge that clears the entire front room and through the still-closing screen door, his mind at last processes that the call alerting him to the treachery was from a goblin as well: his stout colleague Nok-Nok. Even in the seemingly darkest of places, honor still shows itself. It gives the Raven strength, fortifies his will to continue avenging the fallen and bringing justice to the darkness.
The darkness...
The Red Raven's mind returns to the moment as his blade pierces the back of the fleeing creature. Not a perfect kill; he was forced to aim lower than the heart to avoid its armor. But a fatal blow, to be sure, and this creature will suffer as he dies. Some would call this a cowards blow; a strike from behind, a fleeing opponent. But The Raven is not here for honor. This creature would to all this and more to those who could not defend themselves. He deserves no less.
Seeing Nok-Nok at the ready outside the Farmhouse, The Red Raven raises his blade in a salute to the goblin and nods, ceding the kill and the situation to his companion, as decorum would dictate.
We are not, after all, barbarians.
Nok-Nok's cry of congratulations is strangled into a Gwah! as he wildly gesticulates at the Red Raven as something further in the house appears behind the crusader poised to strike at his back!!

Alerted by the would-be godthief, The Raven deftly uses the backswing of his salute to parry a blow from the hidden Cultist, no doubt a willing stooge from the Farmhouse aiding the goblins in their endeavor.
A flick of the cape distracts the foe just enough for The Red Raven's blade to slip inside his defenses. He starts to struggle, but realizing the blade has already bit, the Cultist grins, grasps the blade with both hands and pulls it deeper into his body. "MY MASTER CALLS ME HOME. I SHALL RETURN AND SERVE MORE POWERFUL THAN BEFORE!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAA-*BLECH*"
His monologue is cut short as The Raven twists the blade, speeding up the fatality of the wound. "Then serve in silence, crony."
Cultists. I hate these guys.
There are always rumors of cultist activity around The Old Light. They craggy peninsula, crashing waves and majestic lighthouse offers them a dramatic setting for...whatever it is they do. If there is a cult associated with this smuggling activity, it may be worth giving the lighthouse a look. But perhaps incognito scouting is best to start.
With a cape flourish, The Red Raven turns on heel and disappears back into the crops, leaving Nok-Nok to contemplate the Farmhouse.
Aric emerges from the other side of the field and onto the short road to The Old Light, stowing his extra weapons and hoping the gods will be on his side
He whistles to himself on the road, hoping to seem unassuming to any onlookers, and makes his waya now the cliffs to the surrounding rocks. Nearly down to sea level, he encounters someone who's descent was not so controlled. The corpse seems to have been looted, but Aric can make out the shiny end of a small axe hilt protruding from beneath its body, the kind balanced for throwing.
While The Red Raven would certainly find a Returning Throwing Axe +1 to be useful, "Aric" is certainly incapable of wielding (much less, acquiring) such a weapon. With an internal sigh, Aric leaves the weapon and pushes onward.
I am the only weapon I truly need against the Darkness...
Inspired by the beauty before him , Aric continues humming his tune, and as he approaches the shore and turns towards the lighthouse, it gets...sweeter somehow? More finely tuned. And then he is humming in harmony. How is this possible? No, that takes two voices. Following the sound to his left, he sees a beautiful, mostly naked woman standing up to her knees in the waves. She should put something on, maybe, but isn't nudity just natural? Shouldn't all creatures shuck their worldly bonds? Who would want to cover such beauty?
EVIL.
The realization is like a jolt, even as the Siren continues to beckon to him, continuing the song where he left off. No...he is not equipped for this fight right now. Aric reaches for the cowl of the Raven (always ready to don at a moment's notice), but rather than a quick-change, he pulls just as far as his ears, adding it to his fists trying to muffle the sound. At the same time, he breaks into a run directly inland. Through the cloth and flesh, he can hear the edge of the song turn deadly, but still beautiful, and he dares not look back. Soon, with the addition of distance and the sound of blood pumping in his ears, the song is drowned out and Aric regains his faculties.
Perhaps traveling as the nobleman was an error in judgement. There is clearly something afoot here that cannot be reasoned with. But the crimson crusader needs no reason. Only vengeance...

Mavaro follows the path of carnage in the Red Raven's wake of justice to the Old Light, and proceeds to poke around, finding a scroll of Sleep. With Possession still on top of his deck, Mavaro improves his Intelligence with his Knowledge.
Finding no immediate use for Sleep, Mavaro tosses it aside and looks amongst his tools for another clue...

Grazzle, having restored his energy Blessed be the Lizard Gods, moves deeper into the Treacherous Cave. Grazzle snacks on cave spiders and uses his Sight to chart a path. Danger, magic! He turns around to see an Enchanter fling a spell of invisible force at him. Without his Sight We See, We Know, it would have hit him square in the back; with it, it knocks his Spellbook from his belt, throwing it into the depths.
Grazzle quaffs his Potion of Energy Resistance, knowing he is about to battle a spellcaster. Then Grazzle channels his magic and lets his frustration Yes and anger YES manifest into a Fireblade. Grazzle thrusts the blade into the Enchanter's flesh, savoring the heat It burns as he screams. Grazzle roars in his native tongue as the Enchanter dies it burns us. As the magic dissipates, Grazzle realizes how much energy he'd used as he looks at his scorched hands Relish in the pain. His potion protects him from harm, and he savors his victory.
The way, hazy Grazzle decides to pray to his gods and presses on into the cave. In the next cave Death, decay, danger, Grazzle smells death and sees an Ancient Skeleton rise from the ground.
Grazzle grabs his Quarterstaff, the feeling of the wood Oak, elven, fallen comforting in his hands. He brings the heavy staff Aim for the shoulder! down onto the Ancient Skeleton's shoulder. The magic animating the undead falls apart with the blow Abominations, the bones collapsing back into the dirt.
Grazzle leans against the wall of the cave, exhausted.

What Nok-Nok realizes:
Start of turn
Blessing is Blessing of Erastil.
Nok-Nok ponders a bit, looks at dead goblin at his feat, thinks back to goblin he killed... ponders some more... something there... a light bulb slowly flickers on.
*sigh* Goblin Nok-Nok killed dressed similar, probably not chief, probably just wanna-be chief. He kicks stupid gob in side and starts back to the Goblin Fortress grumbling under his breath.
He just reaches the outer door of the fortress when a Xulgath on guard spots him and recognizes he isn't part of the Licktoad Tribe. The hulking lizard man charges Nok-Nok, who in his surprise at being spotted fumbles his Dogslicer!
Nok-Nok is able to dodge deftly around the clumsy strikes of the Xulgath and is able to finish it off with a quick thrust of his Rochin.
Nok-Nok glances admiringly at the weapon as he pauses to reclaim his fumbled dogslicer. Maybe Nok-Nok should mark kills on this stabby stick of death...

"Well, that's not good."
Aric is pretty sure something is afoot at The Old Light, but but he didn't expect thing to be grabbing his foot as he trips over it in the sand. Evading the Siren's attack has left him pretty far inland, but in his blind dash, he stumbles into the ruins of a shipwreck, and apparently, not all of its crew are at rest.
As the Ancient Skeleton emerges it continues to grab for where Aric has kicked free of its grip. The noble runs through his limited options. The creature seems a little too formidable for the Mancatcher he keeps handy for such occasions. None of his more useful weapons are in reach, and he cannot even flip his cowl to face it as the Raven. The only thing available to him is his rapier and his wit, and while one is clearly sharper, he uses the rapier instead.
A needle-thin point is not exactly the best weapon against a creature full of gaps in which to miss, but using that to his advantage, Aric gradually dodges the creature until it's in position, then charges the creature. He is able to successfully miss the bone, driving the blade through the creature and into one of the last large pieces of hull left half-buried on the shore. Unable to consider anything but attacking, the skeleton continues to futilely struggle to grasp at Aric instead of wiggling free.
A pity about having to leave the rapier, but perhaps he can recover it at a more opportune time.
ENOUGH OF THIS.
In the shadow of a dune at the base of The Old Light, Aric disappears. Some distance down the shore around the end of the dune, emerges The Red Raven, having stowed the mancatcher and now brandishing a cutlass.
Approaching incognito has brought nothing but trouble. Now is the time for action. The time...of The Red Raven.

Striding brazenly up to the the lighthouse, the Raven kicks open the door...and is nearly cook where he stands as a bolt of fire decends upon him. . "Gogmurt!"
The vigilante tumbles out of the doorway just in time, the fire only singing the cord securing his Magnifying Glass to his belt as it clattered to the ground in his wake. No time for it now; he was right, as usual. Villainy has taken up residence at The Old Light.
And it is time to evict.
Danger! To the mouth, swiftly! Grazzle Sees that the leader of the goblins has been discovered near the lighthouse. Though he is likely to escape, Grazzle must act quickly to prevent him from hiding in the caves. Grazzle opens his mind and Sight fully to the Lizard Gods, trying to See Left, left, right, left the path to the entrance, so he may guard it. Grazzle's trust in his gods is rewarded The path, is clear, and he makes it to the mouth of the Treacherous Cave just as he hears the sounds of fighting from the lighthouse nearby.
Blessed be the Lizard Gods Trust in me. Grazzle stands guard at the mouth of the cave system, ensuring no villian can enter. He uses some of his curative herbs to mend his wounds and restore his energy.

Apparently the struggle with the Xulgath has brought more trouble as yet another Gobs wanna-be chief charges forth from the fortress.
Gobs not-chief zigzags to try to get past Nok-Nok, but Nok-Nok counters and brings the fight to him, weilding his dogslicer with abandon.
With a quick flick and a twist of his wrist, Nok-Nok dispatches the not-chief and claims the fortress as his...surely there are no better gobs left to challenge him.

Mavaro curses for the lack of a club to beat the Ancient Skeleton down, and instead draws his old friend, The Missing Eye, to deal with this nuisance.
As the animated bones fall, Mavaro is deeply disappointed in the lack of useful parts they provide.
Sensing his escape has been cut off, The Red Raven rolls up from his crouch and shouts "PARKOUR!" as he bounces from object to wall to object, bounding his way up the hollow tower center until he reaches the balcony from which the villain hurled his fiery blast.
The bane is defeated; each character at your location is dealt 1d4 Acid damage.
"YOU!" When the smoke clears, the goblin ringleader sees the crimson crusader standing be before him and drops to his knees in blubbering surrender.
Fear. Fear (and fostering its perception) are perhaps the greatest weapons of all.
"I knew not it was you sir Raven! Pease, great red hero! Show mercy to this poor goblin soul!"
His clumsy kneeling shuffle upsets a nearby end table where he had an assortment of tricks to fight with. They clatter to the ground, save for a flask of acid which shatters and splashes both The Red Raven on the balcony Mattvaro on the floor below.
. The outer layer of The Raven's gambeson begins to smoulder, and he rips it off before it can burn to the layer beneath .
The Red Raven crouches to face the graveling goblin. "You have a greater foe than me yet to face, villain," he growls. He leans in so the point of his masked beak nearly pokes the goblin's nose. "You will face...JUSTICE."
