Adventure Background
When the goblins of the Licktoad tribe in Brinestump Marsh discovered that one of their own could write, they had no choice—they ran him out of town, tore down his hut, and burned all of his stuff. Writing, after all, is bad mojo, since it can steal words out of your head and thus snatch away your soul. Yet while even the exiled goblin’s name is now taboo (he’s known today only as “Scribbleface,” after the Licktoads branded some of his precious words onto his forehead and cheeks to punish him for breaking custom), the wonders the goblins found in his house were significant.
For Scribbleface had kept more secrets than his writing. Before the rest of his belongings were claimed or burned, the Licktoad goblins found a large trunk that contained several items of interest. To the majority of the tribe, it was the cache of exotic fireworks in the trunk that was the most impressive, but to the leaders of the tribe, it was the intriguing map (one that, fortunately, contained no writing—only nice, safe drawings and dotted lines). This map showed the extent of Brinestump Marsh, including the route from the Licktoad village to an old shipwreck near the coastline that—according to the drawings on the map—contained many more crates of fireworks. How Scribbleface had come into possession of the fireworks, the map, and this knowledge in the first place was largely irrelevant to the goblins, for if the spot marked on the map were to indeed lead to more fireworks, the Licktoads would be unstoppable! Or, if not unstoppable, at least they’d be more firework rich! Think of all the longshank houses they could burn down with a big supply of fireworks!

Your face is covered in unpleasant pimples and outright
boils that have a tendency to pop at inopportune
moments. Although this makes you particularly
ugly, you’re also used to discomfort. Whenever you’re
subjected to an effect that causes the sickened condition,
you may make two saving throws to avoid the effect (if
a saving throw is allowed), taking the better of the two
results as your actual saving throw.

Your bones, flesh, and skin are a bit more elastic than
those of most goblins—when you fall, you tend to

you take falling damage, the first 1d6 points of lethal
damage suffered in the fall are automatically converted
to nonlethal damage. You also gain a +2 bonus on all
Reflex saves made to avoid unexpected falls.
Note: I will complete this module. If you look at my profile you'll see that I run, and have competed, several games. I've successfully competed the entire COT AP; I've completed two short modules (one last week); I have a long running Rappan Athuk campaign; and I'm also running a successful Razor Coast Campaign. Simply put, I'm not going to disappear barring some sort of emergency.
I use maptools for mapping. I would like two posts a day and I'm aiming on finishing this module in 30 days or so. I will roll initiatives and look at my other games to see how my combats run. Communication is key to any successful game. Newbies are encouraged to apply. No PFS credit given.
If you have a history of dropping or disappearing from games please don't apply.
If this interests you, write your goblin song.
I'll keep this recruitment open long enough to get the positions filled and some fun songs made, but I'd like to close it out by Saturday or Sunday. This is subject to change.
Oh and if you're afraid of snatching words from your head, then do what any sneaky goblin would do...steal someone else's nasty written words for your song. You are goblins.
Will this only be the module or is there a chance of continuation afterward?
Why not.
I am Mogmurch! I make Fire!
Roast em! Toast em! In a pyre!
Watch them burn and scream and cry!
Chant and laugh until they die!
Light the house! Smoke and smog!
Don't forget the filthy dog!
Salt the wounds! Eat the flesh!
Mogmurch! Lick Toads! We be best!
Will this only be the module or is there a chance of continuation afterward?
It'll only be the module. I already run two fulltime campaigns online: Rappan Athuk and Razor Coast. When I run modules it is way for me to run short finite games.

Well in that case, no thank you. But good luck though.
I am Grinner, they call me,
Bite the face, crunch the knee,
All these things, make me he he he,
Whether dark or during the day,
Bits of dog, wither away,
Darkness in my teeth, burns, but unlike fire!
If the truth be what you seek,
then call me Burn Teeth Biter!
"Twitchy Boom Boom talks in rhyme
She throws bombs all the time.
Yes, she gets a little wordy,
Riding on her vulture birdie.
But Twitchy's fast and Twitchy's smart
(Can cook up long shanks in a tart.)
She flies up high and overhead
Makes plans to kill things dead!"
"Do you dare ride Goblin Air?
Hang on tight with your knees!
Try hard not to sneeze!
If you fall, do so with flair!
Goblin Air, the bugs are free!
Goblin Air, with long shank stew
(Be sure to tip your flight crew)
Gob --- Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Let goblin glory continue in song.
♪♫ Reta fight and slice and crunch.
Me have longshanks thighs for lunch!
Me not scared of dogs or b!tches,
Burning them has me in stitches!
Horses rear – I run them through.
Cook and eat … not turn to glue!
Poog and Mogmurch; Chuff all fail!
Me smart and hot – in wedding veil! ♪♫
I'm enjoying the goblin songs, keep them coming don't be shy.
Just ruminating on a Bard to be a know-not-all...
[muttered under his ragged breath in a doomy dirge-like monosyllable]
"Sing you
bring you
All to heel
Feel the song
that weals or heals
Spark is quick
to bring to pains
But mostly
words
it is
he rains
So bring your ears
and 'slicers here
Spark will help the fear to go
Luck and blood
Of both, a flood
A chant of doom
or dust
to know
A spark of
fire
A spark of
might
A spark to set
the night alight
Spark is quick
and none too fooly
When the goblins get unruly"
Lick Toad tribe applicants, so far:
Zayne Iwatani - as mighty Mogmurch goblin alchemist
Burn Teeth Biter - as sneaky fire/darkness cleric
"Chief Gutwad the Mighty not so happy tribe not volunteering. He kicks a runt, and starts to chant the Toad Stool song,

Smoosh ‘em, mix ‘em in all up

"Me give you mighty courage with toad stools."
"Chief Gutwad: You no like idea of Spark, goblin Bard? No like song? Too much big words?"
Chief Gutwad scratch head "did not recognize goblin in disguise...look like yappy, tail chasin, flee flickin' mutt." Nods, "guud...fool chief...fool swamp lizard next."
Three brave volunteers.

"Chief Gutwad not pleaz'd, not at all. Need more brave gobl'ns but tribe send me nut'in." He thumps his chest and scratches his arse. "Chief Gutwad sing you Boom, boom, kaboom song to inspire courage, or I come and burn your hut down."
Boom Boom Song
Boom, boom, kaboom,
That’s the sound of goblin might
Blast them! Splash them
make them go up like a light!
Fire be good, flame be better,
As we make them deader!
Let’s give them some doom.
Boom, boom, kaboom

We have a feral gnasher in the WBG campaign that Twitchy plays in. He's hilarious!

Chief Gutwad walks over to Freigaar, and whacks the barbarian's thick skull with a knotty club. "Guud and hard, guud for taking licks...you go move over to discussion and game thread."
Game recruitment is now closed.
Yess!!! Hoped we'd see a Barbarian...
