Becoming really ticked off at everyone running away, Shortork's eyes go wide with delight upon seeing the new foe.
"Choppa is a...Bear-Bird. Waagh!"
He slogs through the water ready to engage the creature on the other side.
Unconcerned with who, or what she was attacking, Doza lashed out again with her flame blade.
Glug Glug slowly strides next to shortork while mixing the ingredients for his bomb. Mixing the final ingredient the clay begins to smoke. Glug Glug launches it at the bear-bird.
BBB reloads and fires again, confused by the shape-shifting ogre who has become a female and then a long rat thing.
The ferret screeches in pain before fleeing back into the house to find his mistress.
Pa Munchmeat walks back around the corner, chanting a spell and waving small fetishes that look like large dead spiders.
The owlbear manages to throw a wing up in front of it's face and resists most of Glug Glug's blast before it screeches and charges into Shortork.
Nimbly avoiding the Bear-Bird's hug, Shortork Snaps his sharp teeth at the creature.
But only gets a few feathers. Stepping back he brings the Choppa down.
"Waagh!"
With no foes to burn, Doza elected to follow the blood trail left by ShortOrk to see what else they could kill.
Not wanting to get his filthy blood on her own fashionable attire, she decided to plug the hole with her finger.
Glug Glug cautiously takes a step back away from the Bear-Bird. He takes a moment to reload his crossbow and yet another to attach an alchemist fire to it. He takes aim at the Bear-Bird while thinking
"Hummm, I wonder if yoos yoink da feathers first or skin the beast when you prepare it for din din?"
Bigbadaboom reloads again and looks up to see nothing at the doorway. He sees the ogre around the corner but opts to reload and follow Shortork instead. After all, Pa Munchmeat is just waving his fingers around speaking gibberish. Funny how everything non-goblins say is gibberish.
Within the ramshackle farm house ferret and ogrekin throw a tantrum and scream in pain and anger as they throw furniture around.
Choppa hacks into the owlbear and Shortork spits out a mouthful of feathers. The creature screeches and lays into Shortork in a vicious flash of talon and beak.
Pa Munchmeat completes his spell. Hundreds of spiders pour out of his house, forming an angry swarm that threatens the goblin heroes. He then casts another, and a ball of flame erupts in his giant hand. He sticks his back to the corner of his house to use as cover.
Seeing the large swarm of spiders, Glug Glug pulls a bomb from his pouch and begins to shake it vigorously all the while taking a 5 foot step to get a better angle at the swarm. Glug glug then launches his bomb directly at the menacing swarm.
Shortork falls limp in the Bear-Bird's grasp. But is it due blood loss or is it a clever...Okay yeah it's blood loss.
Oh! lookout he 'was' just pretending.
Shortork instantly decides that if the Bear-Bird has grabbed him he will try to bite the Bear-Bird. He opens his huge mouth and closes it upon the creature
Doza couldn't count very well, but she still didn't like the large number of holes that blood was oozing out of. She considered many options, many options for a goblin anyway before her left eye swelled to considerable proportions. She tried to urge Bull forward into what could only be described as dirty water but the goat simply refused.
Bigbadaboom flinches as Glug Glug's bomb explodes near him. He looks up and sees the ogre coming around the corner. "Uh, I stand over der..." He walks around to where the plank bridge is and levels his gun at the owlbear.
The spiders explode into tiny little fireballs as Glug Glug's explosive sends the swarm scattering and leaves behind a smoking mess.
The owlbear holds a tight grasp on Shortork and takes a massive chunk out of him with it's sharp beak. It tosses him to the side when the goblin goes limp and lunges forward to try and scratch Doza's eyes out.
Meanwhile Pa Munchmeat throws the fire in his palm at Glug Glug.
The ruckus continues inside for a few more seconds then stops.
Assessing the situation, Glug Glug sees shortork go down and feels the fire burn his flesh. Glug Glug takes a step away while pulling a tanglefoot bag from his belt and throws it at the bird bear.
DC 15 Reflex save to not be glued to the ground.
Insulted that the stupid bird-bear would dare try to touch her, Doza urged Bull back a little ways before arching her eye brow and extending her displeasure.
"Oh no, save Choppa!" Bigbadaboom shouts as he reloads his weapon.
The goo from Glug Glug's bag spreads all over the feathered bear. It thrashes for a moment fighting the restraining goop before turning it's frustration on Doza, oblivious to her cursed gaze. It struggles forward and tries to take a bite out of the goblin alchemist.
Things inside the house seem quiet after the farmer's daughter's tantrum. From around the corner, Pa throws his fire at Doza.
"Phbbffzztt!"
It seams as if Shortork is gassy when unconscious...I guess someone should wake him up.
Glug Glug, using Doza as cover, moves to a better tactical position. Knowing as long as the Bird Bear is gooied it moves slowly, he is trying to stay just out of reach. From his covered postioin, Glug Glug fires his acid modified crossbow bolt, hopefully felling the beast.
8 Acid
Something deep within Doza snapped. Suddenly she burned with rage, the overwhelming desire to pummel something with her bare hands. Instead she pulled out her own horse chopper and went to work.
Bull followed Doza's lead, but was much less driven and more concerned about survival.
After a feeble head but attempt, he tried to dance away out of reach from the great bear beast. Doza's horse chopper continued to thrash about, trying to cut at any part of the creature it could reach, even as Bull retreated.
Glug Glug's crossbow splashes all over the owlbear, burning feathers and fur with acidic fluid before Doza hacks the wounded beast open and cowardly, inept Bull rushes away from the collapsing creature.
Shouting unintelligibly, Bigbadaboom rushes to Shortork's side as he pulls a bottle of Magical Maggie's medicine out of his pouch.
Pa throws another blast of flame, this time at Doza.
Bull cautiously carried Doza closer to "Pa" as she continued waving the large bladed horse chopper around.
Doza glared hard at Pa, arching her eyebrow to new heights of glory.
Glug Glug moves into a better position and reloads his weapon.
Bigbadaboom holds Shortork's nose open and pours a bottle of the intoxicating and minty medicine down his throat. "Get up! No done killing giant guys!"
Pa throws fire once more at Doza. The flames leave his hand, signaling an end to his magic.
From the farmhouse doorway the farmer's daughter reemerges looking for Shortork and his enormous head, but sees Doza and Bull standing in the way.
Glug Glug expertly attaches an Acid vile on his loaded crossbow bolt and takes aim at "Pa" and fires!
*6 Piercing/10 Acid
Somewhat fearful of the ugly woman in front of him, and the one sitting atop his back, Bull reared back and tried to put horns in the one standing.
Doza unleashed her own frustration into the ugly woman as well.
Seeing Doza's bold charge with the great Shortork down emboldens Bigbadaboom. He rushes to Doza's side and fires and ear-shattering blast at her foes. The farmer's daughter is left stumbling about with blood covering her face and her pet is nothing but a puff of fur in the wind.
Guffy swings her morningstar at Doza and tries to bite her head off. Literally.
Meanwhile Pa's hand now being extinguished, grips his spear menacingly and moves to stab the goblins, starting with the loud one gun!
+
More impressed, and afraid of the larger foe, Doza and Bull both went to work at his shins.
Glug Glug is making his was back to Shortork in hopes of getting him back up into the fight, but before then he will toss a bomb at the really large man with a flaming stick, catching the crazy lady in the splash.
Splash Damage* = 6 (Reflex Save DC 15 for half)
*Percise bomb to exclude Doza and Bull's squares.
The farmer's big-headed daughter is barely standing even before Glug Glug's bomb detonate's on Pa, so she drops from the fire and concussion immediately, eliciting peals of laughter from Bigbadaboom.
Very little of the bomb seems to have affected Pa. Bull's gore, however, does. He shrieks and curses in frutstration and attempts to stab the goat in retaliation.
Doza saw the attack coming before Pa even raised his weapon. She swung her horsechopper to intercept, but her small arms were not enough to deflect the massive blow.
Anger soared within in, and she seethed to let it out. How dare this simple brute strike at her most holiest of mounts!
Bull, barely on his feet, saw no choice but to attack the creature back. He knew Doza would not tolerate him running away.
Glug Glug moves over to Shortork to admisinster his CLW extract.
Wake up, you sleep long enough. Choppa needs revenge!!!
His eyes snap open, coughing and wheezing Shortork looks around and sees Doza in combat with the Ogre. He stands unsteadily in the smelly and pleasant feeling muddy water. He scans quickly about for his beloved Choppa and retrieves it. As he hefts the weapon it feels oddly heavier than usual. slowly he moves toward the fight. Along the way he snatches up a gauntlet-sized rock.
"Wa..." Hack. "Waag..." Choke. "Waagh!" He finally manages to bellow out in challenge.
Doza lays into Pa Munchmeat while Bull remembers that he's a bit of a 'fraidy catfolk. The ogre's screams of anger and frustration turn to a gurgle after Bigbadaboom's blunderbuss fires. Blood pours from Pa's throat and a flock of blackbirds flies off with the sound of the shot, leaving the roof of the ramshackle farmhouse.
Doza's anger continued to fuel her rage as she struck again and again at Pa's bloody body. Finally the crazed fury subsided and she climbed down off of Bull to examine what was left of the body. The disgusting giant had used magic, so maybe there was something left that she could use, and if not, she would kick the body a few more times for good measure.
