DM Kor's - A Big Goblin Adventure (Homebrew Pathfinder) (Inactive)

Game Master Kor - Orc Scrollkeeper

Dogdog grinned lime a mad thing, his terrible wolf-skull weapon dripping ichor and opening and closing it's jaws as Dogdog gave it voice.

"Lashlashlash! Good boy, Dogdog! Good boy!"

Quivrel cackles. The action involves much of his body, the sound of which sends shivers up the spines of his enemies. He then points at another beetle to curse it.

Move action to cackle. Standard to Hex Bug 8.

Jakka moves forward slightly and takes a poke at a bug Bug7

Longspear attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Longspear damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Jakka looks shocked and annoyed at having missed the beetle so poorly.

Round 3 - Group 3:

A beetle advances forward towards the threats, however doing so brings it within Jakka's spear range.

Jakka's AoO:
Longspear attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Longspear damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Jakka's spear glances off the bug's carapace, almost puncturing through it. Jakka clearly looks like she is getting angry.

Two of the beetles attempt to take a bite out of Jakka, but are unsuccessful. The hexed beetle also fails miserably in its attempt to bite Dogdog. Dog also easily avoids being bitten by a beetle.

Round 4 - Group 1 is up

"Bark!" Dogdog says enthusiastically, lunching at the bug in front of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Rrrauff!" Dog replied.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Trip (if attack hits): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Clearly enjoying the mayhem and the rush of adrenaline, Vaghdra moves toward the furthest insect."Vaghdra make bugslop!"

5' step to M11.
Attack Bug 7 with flail:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
(Critical threat roll:1d20 ⇒ 1)

Bile will tiptoe carefully past everyone avoiding AoOs by following the path: J12 > K11 > L10 > M10

He will sling a magic bullet at Bug7

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CURSED!

Round 4 - Group 1 Summary
Dogdog lashes out with his whip tearing a line across the bug's soft abdomen. Bug guts spill forth as the beetle expires on the spot. Bug6 dead

Dog thrusts his mangy head at a beetle but misses.

Vaghdra brings her flail down on a beetle and squarely connects, noticably damaging it.

Bile's attack on the wounded beetle, deliver's a near fatal blow.. yet is still is up and skittering.

With continued mirth, which seems to be growing in the Goblin Witch, Quivrel continues to cackle. He then sweeps a pointing finger towards another of the remaining beetles.

Cackle once again and hex Bug 7.

Jakka backs up and tries to spear a beetle.

Attack on bug5: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Attack on bug5: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Round 4 - Group 2 Summary
Bile releases a bullet at an injured beetle bug7, and hurts it greatly... the bug looks like it is having trouble standing.

Quivrel continues to try using his magic to mess with the beetle's senses.

Jakka stabs at a beetle and misses yet again. The angered goblin then throws her spear across the room and shouts forth some nasty goblin curse words which essentially translate to, "screw this, I'm leaving!"

Round 4 - Group 3 Summary

A beetle tries to take a bite out of Jakka but does not succeed. Another beetle tries to slice up Dog, but has no success.

If beetles could, the bug that Quivrel tried to hex most certainly would be. His spell seems to have no noticable effect on the beetle as it gnashes at Dogdog's leg and connects. 2 hp damage to Dogdog

Round 5 - Group 1 is up

"Bark!" Dogdog exclaimed angrily, chomping his wolf-skull gauntlet down on the bog that had ahold of his leg.

Fangjaw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Bad bug! You let go of Dogdog's leg! Dogdog is a good boy!" the wolf-skull hand puppet in a protective, mothering tone.

Dog lunged again, snarling his anger at the thing that had attacked his brother.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Trip (if attack hits): 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12

Jakka keep fighting or Vaghdra eat! yells Vaghdra, fully ready to move and intimidate the recalcitrant goblin into staying. Almost as an afterthought Vaghdra attacks the nearby wounded beetle.

Attack Bug 7 with flail: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Critical threat roll:1d20 ⇒ 18

Shoulda concentrated on bug-squishing...

Attacking bug7 again with last magic stone

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Jakka stammers forth, "Bah, I'm a solo hunter! You are all crap heads! Out of my way!"

The barbarian walks briskly down the passage, appearing ready to break into a rage any second.

Shortly after Jakka storms down the passage, a hail of arrows erupts from behind Quivrel. Gob2 is now Vesa

Rapid shot bug 7
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 10 = -31d20 + 6 - 10 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 10 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Edit: Ref save to avoid nat 1 hilarity: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

"HahahahahaHA!" Quivrel continues to cackle. What effect it has on his fellow goblins is unknown, but it seems to maintain the magic that curses his enemies. He then directs his curse on the last remaining unaffected beetle.

Cackle. Hex Bug 5.

Round 4 - Group 3 Summary
The beetles seem amazingly resilient as they shake off all attempts to wound them or confuse them.

Two beetles try to take down Dogdog, but they are not successful. A beetle does manage to grasp it's pincers around Dog's front paw, causing him to yelp in pain. 2hp damage to Dog

Round 5 - Group 1 is up (Jesa you can act in Group 2)

Dogdog snarls at his brother's pain, savagely attacking the bug that had hurt Dog.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Dog tucked his wounded paw back, snapping at the big bad bug.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Dog indeed gets his revenge on the injured bug and tears into it, dropping the beetle in pile of its own goo.

Heartened by the overwhelming odds, Vaghdra charges back to attack her initial aggressor.

Move action: Charge to K10
Charge Attack Bug 8: with flail: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Critical threat: 1d20 ⇒ 11

-2 to AC until next turn.

Foul attempts to thump her flail down hard onto a beetle, but just grazes it in a near-miss.

Bile stabs at bug8 with his trusty rusty dagger

atk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Still cackling, though he can't quite remember why, Quivrel stays back in the corridor, but draws his crossbow should any of the bugs expose themselves to an easy shot.

The goblins press on their offensive as the number of beetles quickly diminishes. Soon, all that is left is a room full of beetle goo and excrement.

The battle was well in hand, so it seemed an appropriate time to end it.

Although the perturbed Jakka seemed to storm away, another brave goblin has stepped forward, willing to take point with the other four.

I will provide a further update tomorrow.

"Good boy Dogdog!" the puppet wolf skull said, making licking motions all over Dogdog's face, mostly smearing bug goo al over him.

Dogdog giggled and growled, moving to check Dog's hurt paw.

Did Vesa have to fire any more arrows?

Vesa collects any undamaged arrows that she fired (assuming there are any).

"Now where we go?"

Dogdog scratched himself with his foot and trotted back to the main corridor, again taking point and beginning to move quietly down the hall with his brother.

Bile will follow, once again sticking towards the center of the group.

Vaghdra is incensed. Noticeably grumbling, she watches Dogdog leave with heavily slitted eyes.

"Yoo dum dog Dogdog. DOG smarter than you! Yoo make us kill stinkbugs for nothing? Me check for shiny."

Vaghdra kicks apart all the nests/former sleeping areas looking for "stuff".

DM Kor - is taking 10 possible here? If not:

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Note also Vaghdra is being careless, though keen to find stuff and not rushing, she is kicking stuff, so if there are nasty surprises she is at risk....

Dogdog doesn't turn around, but his hand puppet chatters.

"Dog smarter than stupid vaghdra too. Dog smartsmart. You still a good boy, Dogdog. Don't want bad bugs behind us. They hunt gobs. You did good."

We'll be back on track tomorrow. Sorry for the pause in the action. As a shift worker I get pretty out of sorts at times. I am working late night shifts all weekend after tomorrow, which should give me time to post during the day times now.

"Look for shinies too! And bugmeats!" Quivrel says, and goes about searching the room and cracking open beetle carapaces and slurping up the goo inside, saving choice bits in a filthy sack for later.

Perception 1d20 ⇒ 5

Vesa hangs back, watching Vaghdra and Quivrel search, ready to pounce on anything they missed.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Aaaaand.....that's officially a split party folks! Aaaaack! ;p

we havent gone far! i think we are just around the corner, having no idea that bugs have anything of value.

i think we are just around the corner, having no idea that bugs have anything of value.

Who says they do?

yeah that's what i mean. Bile assumed they didn't, and i personally don't imagine they do. Bile is going to make sure DogDog and DogDog's Dog Dog don't get chewed up by something else.

I'm not advancing. I'm a pack creature. I'll wait for everyone to regroup before moving forward.

As the goblins finish off the last beetle, they then take a moment to realize how much of a mess they make when their innards squirt out and mush out of their hard shells.

Every goblin (and wolf) has bits and pieces of unknown organic bug matter stuck to them. While some goblins take the time to clean themselves off, others begin snooping around the small cavern.

It looks as if the cavern was once used a sleeping chamber. The bugs turned the straw sleeping pallets into their own nests. Despite a fairly thorough search, nothing else of interest is found in room.

The goblins return to the tunnel and continue on...

The goblins continue to travel for about 45 minutes through the main tunnel, as it continues its steady decline towards the deep realm below. The Muckeaters do not encounter any other goblins (or other life forms) during this time, aside from the occasional small insect. As the group continues, they notice that the tunnel seems to flare out ahead, into the cavern. The cavern appears to be 30' wide, 60' long and averaging at about 12' high.

The Muckeaters cautiously enter the cavern, looking around for any signs of trouble but they do not find anything. Dog picks up a scent on the ground, alerting the goblins momentarily, however the wolf looses the scent about halfway through the tunnel.

As the goblins get near the end of the cavern, a large, gray reptilian head seems to emerge from the cavern wall. As the goblins begin to quickly focus, they realize that there is a large lizard-like creature clinging to the wall of the cavern, perfectly blending into a recess in the wall, about 5-feet up from the cavern floor. A reptilian hood, springs up from behind its head, and an ominous feeling of dread overcomes the goblins. It cracks a wide smile displaying a maw full of sharp pointy teeth.

Will save time - fear-based :)

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 6

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Both the dogs piddle themselves.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Also, Vesa will be sneaking everywhere, taking 10 when possible for a Stealth of stupid, err, 22

Vesa racks her brains, trying to recall if she knows what the thing might be.

Knowledge checks
Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 19 if it's an animal
