"Half face good master! Snarltongue good servant!"

Outside, Talwin drinks the potion.

Heal: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Targost also drinks his potion

1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

face-palm!

face-palm!

With the channel you are just 2 points below max, so it isn't that bad!

I know, but still..a 1..lol..nice to see my luck has not changed...

Same luck here. I have to really plan my actions more, Murphy dogs my steps in all my games...
sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
" Are those other goblins your friends, Snarltongue? Would you like to be free and see them free as well?"
diplo: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
I rest my case

The red vial starts bubbling and Snarltongue holds his battleaxe in both hands.

Maybe you'd better go now...

Talwin leads the group away. He tries to find a stout branch to arm himself and the others.

Then he starts to look for goblin tracks.

Survival : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Targost, how often can you cast your mage armor spell?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

"I believe that I have 3 more castings of spells"
(unless our forced rest allowed him to go back to full...lol)

You can have your full spell complement. Krenar thinks you're just an archer ;-)

I have shield of faith, bless, command, and enlarge person. Figured I would enlarge and grapple. thought about trying it with the bottle head, but think we would just die. Ebon isn't too keen on the current circumstance and is more than willing to try to stop the 'bad guy' again. Just a little fearful of bottle heads invisibility
Ebon also looks for a suitable weapon like branch.
Then he imitates Talwin in searching for goblin tracks..
survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
But his heart really isn't in it...
" This sucks. I think we should find a way to stop this guy and free the little runts.."
Unless bottle-head is still around then he remains quiet.

You don't manage to find any goblins, but you do find the road back to the nearby town of Thornkeep.

It's not big, but they should have some items you could use against invisible opponents.

Ok, people, show some initiave. I don't want to have Muluk unable to act for more than a few days.

BTW, you might be out of money and equipment, but you probably all still got some prestige!

"Can't do it. Can't help enslave more 'people' to that half faced goon."
Ebon charges into Thornkeep looking for his fellows in the Liberty's Edge...
Want to spend 1 Prestige point on a MW Earthbreaker. Another on a MW chain shirt. Now it says one item up to these values, 375 for 1 pnt, 750 for two pnts. What if I need a bunch of mundane little items? Don't wanna spend 375 gp worth of points on a tanglefoot bag...

It's only one purchase per adventure and only a single item per purchase (barring 'kits', which consist out of multiple items).

Well Targost has all his spells (5-0 level, 3-1st level) plus can throw 6 acid bolts per day. So I can throw some protection on characters, then stay back and fire distance spells at the wizard....like I was thinking before, if we take him out quickly maybe 'super goblin' will just leave...taking his freedom instead of fighting us...I don't know...what do you think?

Ok in that case, I will spend 2 points( sadly wasting 300gp worth...485gp cost) on a dragonslayers kit, if available. Then he will look around for a local Blacksmith or Weapon/Armorsmith and offer to cast Guidance on them for the next 30 minutes or so, for a few copper pieces. If that works he will then go and find someone to sell him enough powdered chalk (1 cp per 1/2 lb) to fill the 3 sacks he gets with the kit.
Sweating and dirty Ebon returns to the others.

" Well. I might have a plan...."

Ok, you manage to find and buy the kit. Powdered chalk isn't available in those quantities, but if you could get flower instead.

"Well lets hear it then...because I do not want to become a slaver to this insane wizard!"

Okies, flour it is. flammable too. XD
" Ok. Its like this...
First we take these sacks of flour, and lug em in like goblins in a bag, one for each of us. One of you takes the longspear, I'll take a club, and the other of you take the tower shield and the 5 vials of alchemist fire. Talwin if you need more healing there is a potion of Cure (moderate) in there as well. Whoever takes the spear should use the oil of bless weapon on it.
Now I'm not the best planner, but it seems we get Bottlehead to take us back in, bringing our 'goblins' to the master guy. If we can, 'n this'll have to be one of you guys cause I suck at lyin', trick bottle head into opening one of the cells for us, then shove him in and lock the door. If that fails one or the other of us should ready to wack him with a sack of flour the moment he disappears. Now for conting...just in case planning, I have enlarge, command and shield of faith to run with as spells. If you want to throw mage armor on us or use other spells, lets plan it now before we start. we can always improvise later..."

"Well I can supply 3 of you with a mage armour spell, which should protect you a little, and will not show, so it will seem we are all still unarmoured! That will still leave me with the use of 6 elemental rays for combat. "

I'm so proud of you guys! You're actually making a proper plan! :-)

Sorry guys. Super busy weekend, then sick in bed all day yesterday.

"It's a good plan. Let me get a healing wand, no sense risking a fight at anything less than full strength. I'll make sure I cast my spell to see invisible things so I can douse the goblin with flour if he winks out. And I'll take that spear, but I'd really like to hang on to a club if I get backed up. Oh well.."

Spend 2 PP on Wand of CLW. Then heal us once ready to head inside.

Ok, so you completely heal up, arm and armor yourselves, and go back with 3 bags filled with 'goblin'!

(Healing back up to full will take about 6 charges) I assume you also cast guidance on yourselves before entering

So you arrive back at the stairway with 3 burlap sacks.

"Hi Snarltongue, we've got the first three, can you open the cells, so we can put them in?"

Bluff Targost, take 10: 10 + 8 + 1 = 19
Sense motive Snarltongue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Snarltongue accompanies you to the cells and opens the first cage.

Ebon Reposition assist: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 succes
Talwin Reposition: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 20 succes!
Targost Reposition assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 fail

With joint effort you manage to get Snarltongue in the cage and close it.

Initiative!

Muluk: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Targost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Ebon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Talwin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

I've marked the location of the masterswitch to open all cages on the map.

Woot we are actually doing well. Probably because the DM rolled for me lol

Actually, I made you take 10! :-) and the actual rolls I made for you were quite terrible! (a 4 for the assist and a 6 for initiative)

Thanks for bumping us along! Anyway, was Krenar in the room when we arrived? As in he vanished? It seems like no, but that he's probably seen us through his puppet. And are the bars on Muluk's cell far enough apart for him to grab an adjacent wand if dropped?

Krenar wasn't in the room when you arrived. The bars are far enough apart for Muluk to pick up a wand if you drop it next to the cell.

Thanks! Just don't want Snarly swiping it either.

Talwin says quietly to Muluk:

"Come grab this!"

He then delays until Muluk is next to the bars.

"Snarltongue doesn't want to be in cage again!"

Snarltongue's red bottle bubbles!

He takes his axe and tries to swing it through the bars and attacks Targost!

power attack, cover

To Hit: 1d20 + 10 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 4 - 2 = 22

Muluk takes the wand and cures himself clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Ebon casts a CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 on Targost, steps to the opened celldoor and closes it.

The two other captive goblins (the one with tentacles as legs and the three armed one) make a run for it!

And attacks Ebon!

Muluk moves to the corner of the cage and heals Ebon.

Your cage is currently open, so it might be safer to go out and cure Ebon there! Else Snarltongue might take a swing at you! I've taken the liberty to place your mini in a spot that makes sense and do your cure from there!

sorry for the delay. For some reason I was blocked from the site for the last day or so. Thanks for bot-ing me... And, ouch! That sucked!! Lol

Targost keeps far away from the cages as possible.

"Now what? Do we go looking for the wizard?"

"Now what? Do we go looking for the wizard?"

There was a power outage at Paizo due to severe storms in Seattle. So no worries.

Ghosting Ebon

Ebon steps away from the cage leaving the bottleheaded goblin locked up in the cage and casts a CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 on himself.

"Don't go near that cage! Even behind bars itis a formidable opponent!"

As Krenar could see and hear (and feel) everything the Homunculus registered, he might come looking for you!
