Nok-Nok scans around Junk Beach and it appears everything has been acquired and/or driven off. Clearly gobs were scared of him and ran back to their fortress. Still no sign of big chief gobs yet, maybe he is in fortress.
Nok-Nok heads to Gobs Fortress and sneaks in from hidden entrance and starts his search for chief gob, but instead finds lost longshank Archer holed up looking for an exit.
Nok-Nok tries to convince him not to shoot and to join in his mighty vengeance.
Longshank Archer is unsure and Nok-Nok has to prove he's friendly gob by naming people he knows in Sandpoint. Fortunately Archer knew longshank Quartermaster friend of Nok-Nok and decides his odds are better with Nok-Nok.
They are about to head out when Zombie stumbles down the hall and takes a chomp into new Archer friend. Nok-Nok wades in with his dogslicer to drive zombie away from new friend.
With a primal fury, Nok-Nok starts slicing off parts of the zombie until it stops moving. Archer friend is a bit worse for the wear, but will probably recover given friend Grazzle's almost as divine as Nok-Nok.
Nok-Nok peers around and pulls out his compass to see direction most likely to contain gob chief. It points to the left, so clearly he must be that way.
As he wanders down the hall, Archer friend limping slowly behind, Archer gives a cry of warning as poison needles stab into Nok-Nok. With a wince Nok-Nok indicates it's fine, this is bestest way to disarm..trust me.
Wedging his shield into the trap, Nok-Nok is able to free himself and disarm the trap, despite the poison.
Clearly he must have made some noise during the process though as a gobs rushes in to see what is going on.
Maybe poison is doing more than expected. Feeling a bit weak, Nok-Nok again raises his dogslicer and goes to battle not chief gob.
With a flurry, Nok-Nok tries to shake off poison and wade into battle. Gobs not chief is good, but not as good as Nok-Nok, with a twist the dogslicer slams home, striking bone along the way. It will clearly need some time being sharpened before it will be ready for combat again.
Nok-Nok decides gob chief must be elsewhere, so he collects his stuff and heads out to a nearby farmhouse to see if they can tend new archer friends wounds.

Recalling Goblin-led shenanigans previously leading to a Farmhouse outside of town, The Red Raven bolts there to see if trouble has infested the homestead once again.
Almost immediately upon arrival, he spies a Cultist skulking outside and moves to dispatch her.
The Cultist collapses beneath the cut of The Raven's blade.
Drawing his Magnifying Glass, the Raven searches the body for clues This minion was apparently not important enough to have any intel on her, but she does have a finely crafted Dagger +1 concealed in her boot.
A bit of advice from his Psychic Detective contact floats unbidden to the surface of The Raven's thoughts, . "The serpent that seems the most docile often has the sharpest bite." Noting the snake's head pommel of the dagger, the advice echoes in his mind, and he also remembers Nok-Nok showing him a neat trick some serpent cultists do with trapping their blades, .
The Raven gently probes the hilt and sheath of the dagger until he finds the release that allows the dagger to be drawn without getting stuck by a pair of needles hidden in the sheath that are dripping with some unsavory looking goo. The dagger is otherwise harmless (you know, aside from the obvious), and he tucks it into his sash.
Moving back towards the house, The Raven signals his ally Dredge waiting in the foliage, who in turn frantically points towards the back of the Farmhouse .
Emerging from the back of the house is a stuffy, aristocratic-looking goblin, if those exist. This must be Big Chief Wortus. And he must go down.
Grazzle hears the sounds of battle from the Farmhouse, and rushes forwards to secure the Woods, praying to the Lizard Gods for aid. Grazzle has Seen the way is blocked and knows the Woods are guarded.

Seeing the Woods guarded by Grazzle, The Raven draws his weapons in hopes of pushing the Goblin towards the Guard Tower.
Wait...goblin?
WHAT is that STENCH?
The odor is stanch, but so is the Raven, and he powers forward despite his growing nausea.
Unfortunately, the nauseating aura only gets worse as The Raven gets closer. Hi can no longer contain the sickness and he is immediately glad he opted for the top-half face mask and not the bottom-half face mask on his costume uniform. He manages to clutch his cutlass close but loses his dagger and his lunch.
Determined to make a go of it, The Red Raven swings mightily at what he things is the blobby goblin at the center of this growing miasma that is in front of his vision.
The Raven swings wildly at what he things is the goblin, but it is just a blob in his blurred vision. The sweat on his palms causes the Cutlass to go flying to the ground several feet away. To his right, The Raven hears a goblin cackling and the sound of fluid spraying, as footsteps scamper off.
The Raven hears acid sizzling on the ground nearby and the sound confuses his perception as he tries to track the villain. Did he go back in the house? Did he retreat to the Tower? Either way, he is in no state to pursue, staggering back to lean on the corral fence until his nausea subsides.

Nok-Nok being somewhat used to Gob tactics sees Raven take swings at Chief...clearly something is wrong as he watches Raven swing in wrong direction. Nok-Nok rushes over to attack the Chief, but instead Chief sees him coming and hacks a big acidic loogie to distract him.
Nok-Nok ducks behind his Burglar's Buckler, but the phlegm clearly starts eating away at the buckler, and Nok-Nok is forced to set it aside to clean it up before he will be able to use it again.

Mavaro hears a commotion in the direction of the Farmhouse and heads that way. Discovering a Wand of Shield, he is fascinated by its potential.
The wand chooses the magus, and he adds it to his collection. Risking a Blessing of the Samurai 2, Mavaro forges ahead to find a Crow. He recalls the incantation for Possession by tucking away the Wand of Shield.
Upon convincing the Crow of his intentions, it flies to perch on his left arm. Mavaro unceremoniously throttles it with his right, using the bird's entrails to further investigate. He discovers a Potion of Hiding.
Just as he closes his hand around the vial, it slips from his grasp. He wonders if he can pick up the pieces.

The Gods must be with him as he feels their Blessing upon him, and he uses their favor to propel him forward further into the house with divine determination, .
He storms into the living area to find a Bugbear lounging on the couch. It looks like it knows it is not supposed to be up on the couch, and looks chagrined for a few moments before realizing The Raven is trespassing and should probably be attacked.
Before it can attempt to eat his head, The Raven tucks, rolls, and hamstrings the monster with his kama. It collapses back on the couch, not dead, but curled into a whimpering ball. The Raven leaves it to think about what it's done.
Allowing his training to take over , The Raven pads silently upstairs. The landing is barred, however, by a Locked Passage.
The Raven left his proper tools in his kit, but a true spy does not always need proper tools. Using the point of his kama , he jimmies the door open, and peers in,

Mavaro makes for the Guard Tower, despite his common sense nagging him to avoid all the banditry that occurs there. He begins by discovering a Potion of Ghostly Form that intrigues him.
It becomes the second potion that slips through his fingers. Searching his belongings for a clean pair of gloves, he calls upon his Blessing of the Samurai 3 to continue the search, and comes across a Luckstone. This is certainly the most interesting trinket he's found so far. He focuses inward and dismisses Possession to raise his awareness.
Cursing Bastet and his infernal fortune, Mavaro rests.

Aric takes the other path upstairs in the farmhouse and finds a room where the cultist had clearly been squatting. Not much of interest in her belongings except perhaps these Bracers of Protection?
Aric straps on the bracers in case the boar gives him any trouble. He deploys his Clockwork Spy to confirm the animal is still rummaging around down the other hallway. *sigh* "Time to bring home the bacon. Again."
The Raven misjudges just how wild the boar is, but is still able to sidestep its attack and swing his Kama down in a deadly strike.
The boar falls, squeals a moment, and then the Farmhouse is silent.
Until...
...a rhythmic crashing sound quickly approaches outside. The Raven moves to the window to see what is making the ruckus, but is met with an eye peering in back at him, attach (barely) to the head of a Zombie Giant, who looks to be rearing back a fist to punch in the second story window.
The Red Raven dodges the smashing fist, and with a motion, directs his Clockwork Spy to attack, its spindly legs skittering through the rubble, leaping, and poking directly into the giant's one good zombie eye. As it shrieks and grasps at its face, The Raven leaps at the monster, burying the end of his kama in its flesh, and rides it down like a pirate down a sail as his kama slowly rips through the questionable structural integrity of its torso flesh. The Raven hits the ground in a roll to avoid the zombie giant crashing down behind him, what is left of its organs spilling out into the pig pen.
Nothing could possibly have avoided that ruckus, and when no one comes out to check out what's happening, The Raven concludes that this location is devoid of further threats.

Nok-Nok thought he was hiding well enough, but apparently Bandit saw him and makes sneaks his thieves' tools before Nok-Nok realizes his hiding hole also has a thief in it.
Just as Nok-Nok finishes off Bandit, he hears a thud of large footfalls and the overpowering stench of Big Gob Chief.
Nok-Nok is very familiar with bathing habits of gob chiefs in general so he is fairly immune to the effects, but still has to do a double take over Wortus's aura.
Knowing Lamashtu has chosen Nok-Nok to be future diety of all goblins, Nok-Nok believes in himself and tries not to gag.
Barely able to hold on, Nok-Nok chokes it down, and quickly hides in the corner as Big Gob comes closer, but he is again wracked by an overpowering stench and has to clamp down on his lunch to keep from retching at the smell. Nok-Nok does a little prayer to longshank lizard friend's gods to help him stay hidden.
Having held it together Nok-Nok strikes the Big Chief in the back as he passes by, attacking with both Rochin and Sai, and calling on Lamashtu and any other gods for assistance.
Nok-Nok's strike is true but as Wortus screams and drops to the floor he vomits acid all over the room.
Nok-Nok's Magic Leather Armor burns away, but Nok-Nok proudly stands over slain gob chief as new chief and has new story to proclaim his divinity. Of how Lamashtu guided his hand to strike down stinky gob chief for good.
Glory to Nok-Nok and Grazzle's other friends. The Lizard Gods hath provided!
Nok-Nok knows goblins draw power from fortress, so he must claim it for himself once and for all.

Nok-Nok slowly trudges back to stupid Gob Fortress. I clear this thing, and I clear this thing...should make sure and take it over completely or Nok it down...
Just as he enters the fortress, he is ambushed by waiting Bugbear.
Bugbear must have hung out with big chief previously, because wow that is a powerful stench.
But holding his breath Nok-Nok wades into combat with the foul smelling goblin cousin. Praying to himself that he is fast enough to stay out from under any descending bugbear limbs.
Holding breath and fighting is hard, but Nok-Nok is able to get under Bugbears guard and drop him. Quickly he looks for the nearest exit to get away from stinking corpse. He recalls a passage from his previous trip through the fortress and quickly ducks down it.
Nok-Nok comes across a crow happily picking the last of it's meal from a previous Nok-Nok encounter. Crow might know best way around here, so Nok-Nok tries to offer it some food he has in his pockets.
The crow having picked the last bit off of the bones, flaps over and grabs the food from Nok-Nok before winging off down the hall.
Nok-Nok quickly chases after flapping friend as he must have something to show him.
Crow quickly alights on bearded longshank in robes...
Nok-Nok stumbles to a halt and dodges to the wizard prepares to blast him with a spell. Nok-Nok explains he is mighty hero who felled big gob chief and here to clean up fortress. He presents wizardly longshank with credentials provided by Quartermaster friend.
Wizard longshank regretfully opts to join Nok-Nok in his quest.

Aric is always hoping to make new friends on his adventures, but looking at the locale of this quest, especially his current location, he is pretty sure this isn't a place to make friends. It is a place...
for justice.
Almost before he can enter deeper into the dungeons, he can smell him...no, it. It is not quite as traumatic as the stench wafting off of Big Chief Wortus, but still powerful. The Red Raven peers around a corner to see a Bugbear feasting on a former torturee.
These things must be everywhere.
Tossing his cloak over his shoulder to proudly , The Red Raven charges the monster with his Captain's Cutlass.
6. Bury a random card from your discard pile. Nothing, ha!
The monster swipes The Raven's head, but he deftly evades, ducking beneath its arms and dragging his blade across the creatures midsection.
It rears back, looking ready for another attack, but just before it strikes, it seems to notice its wound as its intestines spill onto the ground. It hastens to grab at them, but does more harm than good before finally collapsing back on its former meal.
Winding up his newly re-constructed Clockwork Spy and drops it on the floor awaiting its return intel, . When it returns, it is not blinking in the tell-tale sign of immediate danger, but does display a hazy image of a Trapped Locker before the alchemical solution dissipates. The Raven moves to examine it more closely.
The Red Raven kneels tinker with the trap's trigger, but it is delicate, requiring his full attention. He sheathes his Cutlass to free up his hands and is able to hold the trigger off while releasing the locking latch, then stand aside to allow the trap to harmlessly spray its acid on the ground.
From inside, The Red Raven pulls a Wooden Shield . Not his equipment of choice, but it might be good to take a single hit.
The next passageway leads off in multiple directions. Pulling out his Spyglass , The Red Raven pulls a pin and twists it to angle its internal mirrors and allow it to act as an angle viewer. Down one path is a Goblin Raider!
My prey at last.
But The Raven is unprepared, and needs a moment to ready his weapons and approach. Shifting position, he turns the glass around another corner and spies an empty room that would allow him to approach from an unexpected angle. Well, almost empty; there are a lonesome pair of Bracers of Protection just waiting to be looted.
The Raven admits to himself his is unprepared for battle, and even less prepared to bar this dungeon from further trespassers. Instead, with a flourish, he reverts to Aric , stashing the shield and drawing his newly acquired latin-flare Capitan's Cutlass, just in case. The room does prove empty, but for the bracers, which his deftly scoops up.
Aric stands poised by the doorway. He has but to pull down his cowl and strike to end this menace...but he knows he is not equipped to yet. He must wait. And watch.
Stashing the bracers, Aric digs though his pack, hoping to find the item he needs to help him bury the evil in these dungeons...

Grazzle slides quietly into the Treacherous Cave, eyes peeled for danger. Grazzle Sees combat, vile odor his allies are already fighting, and sends a small amount of healing energy to them.
Grazzle spots a shiny bit of metal gold? in the rubble of the cave's mouth. Stooping down to examine it, Grazzle finds some lost Token of Remembrance. As Grazzle pulls the trinket out of the dirt, Grazzle feels the residual magic within it. Grazzle slips it into a pocket of Grazzle's robes, confident there is some use for it. Power is power.
Grazzle turns to Grazzle's Chronicler, asking more about the history of the token, as Grazzle Sees the future. But where Grazzle expected to See Danger, instead Grazzle Hears. "Oi," says a rough, human voice. "There's that lizard man. Get 'im!" The voice belongs to a Mercenary, though Grazzle does not know to whom he speaks. Grazzle summons power from the Lizard Gods just enough, and channels a Life Drain spell into the hired thug.
Grazzle steps over the now lifeless body of the Mercenary, heading deeper into the cave.

With new bearded longshanks friend in tow, Nok-Nok continues to explore the fortress and comes across a hardened clay ball filled with alchemical smells. Nok-Nok knows explody fireworks when he sees them and quickly scoops it up.
Nok-Nok squints at bearded longshank and asks what he can do to further their glorious quest. Wizard starts mumbling some arcane evilness.
*I see that the goblins have put some sort of ambush in place for us my friend, we should prepare ourselves.*
As he's releasing the spell he hiccups and then cries out as a portal opens through which Nok-Nok sees an evil demon about to come through.
Thinking quickly Nok-Nok kicks wizard longshank in the back of the knee and he goes down and the portal collapses.
What was that!! No summoning evil demon thing...maybe Nok-Nok better on his own.
Nok-Nok spends some time berating wizard friend on the importance of not summoning evil monsters while also getting info on the gob ambush that is ahead.

Fortified for battle, Aric strides into the next room to confront the Goblin Raider...
4. A random character at your location encounters the bane instead. That character does not roll on this table.
but no! The nobleman is a distraction! The accursed crimson crusader appears in the other doorway, prepared to strike! The goblin is concerned, flanked as he is, but no. The noble is gone. Strange.
Before the goblin can sort out the bait-and-switch, The Raven swings a mighty uppercut and splits the raider's jaw (and front of face) in twain.
The evil cleansed, The Raven turns his mind towards keeping evil out. It is quite a bit to stomach, securing this place, but channeling the power of his of his Quick-Change Mask, he puts his Stealth to the task instead, uttering a Blessing to the Ancient(s) gods has he attempts to lock the dungeon down.
The Red Raven stands vigilant outside the Deeper Dungeons, secure in the knowledge that evil cannot reclaim them this day. But the work is not yet done, as he peers out to other locations.
The work is never done.

Having been forewarned about the nearby ambush despite the nearly disastrous scrying attempt. Nok-Nok approaches the site of the ambush as prepared as he is going to get. Fortunately for him, Grazzle Sees Friend in Danger!, and casts Find Traps to guide Nok-Nok's steps.
Nok-Nok quickly sees the snare trap moments before he is about to put his foot in it, as if lit with divine light. Nok-Nok carefully steps over it but is immediately charged by a Giant Gecko that was hiding around the corner.
Nok-Nok knows ambushes, and was expecting company so he sets his Rochin against the charge.
The Gecko wasn't expecting it's charge to be interrupted by sharp pointy thing and is impaled and drops. Bearded wizard gives Nok-Nok a slow clap.
Nok-Nok rolls his eyes and decides to use his divinity to scout ahead.
Nok-Nok smells the lingering stench of chief gob and gags a bit as he realizes not chief gob must be approaching. Nok-Nok tries to hold back the gag reflex and not give his position away.
Lunch firmly in check, Nok-Nok wades in to finish off the unsuspecting Raider.
With a quick stab to the back the Raider drops just as Ilsoari stammers out a warning as a mostly unseen goblin raider attempts to pick Nok-Nok's pockets.
Fortunately for Nok-Nok, all his gear has been well stowed and the raider doesn't make off with anything.
Nok-Nok whips the Rochin around and thrusts it at the goblin at neck height.
With a gurgle the raider drops and Nok-Nok realizes that he was carrying a couple of nice weapons that might be useful in his current adventure.
Nok-Nok retrieves an Icy Longspear +1 from the raider and asks Ilsoari to gather up the rest of the loot while he scouts ahead.

Weary from his experiences in the dungeons, The Red Raven rests and Aric approaches the Warrens. He ducks back almost immediately as an Archer emerges from the shadows, arrow nocked but not yet drawn. She lowers her bow almost immediately as she recognizes the nobleman. "Lord Aric! W-what are you doing out here? It is dangerous!" He explains he is not here without aid, and is on an important quest. After some consideration, he shares with her some of his intel on the urgent need to secure the Warrens,
She nods and immediately falls into place behind and to one side. She explains as they march that her paladin partner has already entered, but she hasn't heard from him in some time. Sadly but inevitably, they find her compatriot's remains, ravaged by the attack of a mob of goblins. He is fairly thoroughly looted, but as they move him to a more dignified resting position, they uncover a Staff of Minor Healing that had been masked by his fallen form.
After a questioning look from Aric, the archer hesitates, then sees the wisdom of using all their resources and nods at him to take it. He offers to heal her with it, but she waves him off, and he instead .
Consulting his ]Compass, Aric leads the Archer down a short path, and then pauses to listen, . After a few moments, Aric hears the tell-tale nesting whines and growls of a Goblin Dog. He turns to inform the Archer, then adds, "And oddly enough, it is neither a goblin, nor a dog. We have such odd nomenclature systems, don't you agree?"
Aric knows he could quickly change and attack as TRR while she is is mulling over that bit of trivia, but he also knows these Warrens are connected to all kinds of subterrainean networks, including the Dangerous Cave Grazzle is currently trying to secure. He would hate to startle this beast (or others!) into his lizard friend's path. Leaning back on the wall, he calls a halt for the moment, hoping to give Grazzle time to secure his locale.

Grazzle feels magic Pinkskin magic in the air as Grazzle moves deeper into the Treacherous Cave. Grazzle reaches out to See, and locates the magic in the form of a Returning Throwing Axe +1. Grazzle has no knowledge or skill in such an uncivilized weapon For the weak, so Grazzle moves past it deeper into the cave.
Grazzle runs into the pinkskin Chronicler, who tells Grazzle about a demonic temptress ahead. Grazzle thanks his pinkskin hanger-on, . Grazzle encounters the "demon lady" the goblins warned of; to his dismay, she pulls an enemy out of the Abyss to attack
Grazzle Sees the creature forming out of the aether, heading towards The Red Raven...
Nok-Nok hears that the villain has been found. He looks around for the means to close off the Warrens and finds some rocks that might be able to block to way.
Nok-Nok pushes at the boulders and they start to tumble to block the way, unfortunately he slips on some lose rocks and block most of the rock fall with his body.
At the last moment, he hears Aric yelling to dodge to the left. Going with the rock fall, Nok-Nok twists to the left and the rocks continue their rolling to block the entrance to the Warrens.
A wild Sneak appears!

"Ooooh," purrs the demoness. "I've never had a lizardfolk before." Grazzle sneers at her, and she smiles. "I'm Mistress Etainia, and I can't wait to play with you." Grazzle Sees a future where Grazzle succumbs to her temptations she will devour you, but it is not this future.
Grazzle speaks, in perfect common. "You are nothing. A pawn in and endless game you cannot win." Etainia's smile fades, ever so slightly. "Grazzle's faith is far stronger than you will ever know." Blessed be the Lizard Gods! Tapping into their divine power, Grazzle imbues Grazzle's will with the power of Grazzle's faith, "Begone," Grazzle says. The demoness screams in fury, and with her escape routes cut off, vanishes in a burst of hellish red light and black smoke.
With the Treacherous Cave secure, Grazzle stows Grazzle's Spellbook in a leather satchel, and turns to march out of the cave.

Lowering his eyes to toad-level, squinting hard into its eyes, The Raven stares intently, but is unable to glean any info from the amphibian. Alas.
On to only slightly less dubious sources, The Red Raven concentrates on his trigger thought, and reluctantly welcomes the voice of his Psychic Detective colleague into his head, [ooc] examining the next card in the location, then maybe exploring.

"Honey, it ain't spyin'; you contracted me to be available for consultation. I can't advice you at the drop of a hat unless I know what's going on with you, sweetie."
...
Fine. The next room. What's there?
"All business, huh? Alright, well you have nothing to worry about. No threads OR potential allies, so you won't have to TALK to anyone. Just a bunch of rusty old weapons. Happy?"
Before he can respond, he hears the "cha-ching" sound she mentally uses to signal he's been charged for her services, and the slight pressure he fields in the back of his mind during their communications fades.
An armory. Excellent.
Except it's not. Rusty was not an exaggeration, and almost nothing worth taking, must less using. There is a decent-looking Greatsword, but he has no desire to haul that thing around, and opts to leave it be.
Out of immediate intelligence on the area, The Red Raven opts to refresh his supplies, and stands ready to defend the area, should Nok-Nok or Grazzle find their quarry.

Grazzle sends healing energy out to Grazzle's wounded, weary allies, Then, Grazzle turns the healing energy upon himself, casting Cure to mend Grazzle's wounds,
Grazzle then heads to join Nok-Nok at the Shrine of Lamashtu, for she is known well among Grazzle's people. Soothe the beast! Alas, Grazzle's efforts only enrage the animal into charging. Grazzle summons a Viper Strike from Grazzle's snake idol the venom must flow, flinging the magical snake at the boar. The boar falls to its side as the snake's venom takes hold; it dies horribly, convulsing, as Grazzle steps over its corpse.
Grazzle channels magic to See Locate Object deeper into the shrine, but finds only a spell of minor arcane power. Grazzle attempts to absorb the magic, Force Missile, into himself clumsy, crude magic, , but the magic rejects Grazzle.
Disappointed, Grazzle rests and waits for Nok-Nok to catch up.
