We be Lick toads! We make raid!
Put the longshanks to the blade!
Burn them up from feet to head,
Make them hurt, then make them dead!
Cut the parents into ham,
Smush the babies into jam,
All the rest in pot get stewed,
We be Lick toads - you be food!
You are goblins of the Licktoad tribe, who live deep in Brinestump Marsh, south of the hated man-town called Sandpoint. Once, other goblins tried to burn Sandpoint down, and they would have been legends if they had succeeded. But they didn’t bring enough fire, and got themselves killed as a result.
Yesterday, your tribe discovered that one of your own had been using forbidden arts and was engaged in one of the greatest of taboos—writing things down. In fact, rumor holds that what he was writing was a history of your tribe! There’s no swifter way to bring about bad luck than stealing words out of your mind by writing them down, and so your tribe had no choice. You branded the goblin’s face with letters to punish him, which is why everyone calls him Scribbleface now, and then you ran him out of town, took all of his stuff, and burned down his hut.
That’s where things got interesting, because before you all burned down his hut, Chief Gutwad found a weird box within the building. Inside was a map and a lot of fireworks, fireworks that immediately came to use in burning the hut down. Then, this morning, Gutwad announced that tonight there would be a feast in order to drive out any lingering bad luck from Scribbleface’s poor decisions. But perhaps even more exciting, all of you have been secretly invited to meet at Chief Gutwad’s Moot House. Why would the chief want to speak to you? It can only mean that he’s got an important mission for you all... one that the other goblins of the tribe couldn’t pull off. This could be your chance to go down in Licktoad history!
Lying at the center of the village, the chief ’s Moot House is a veritable museum of Licktoad heroics, crammed with trophies such as stolen weapons, shiny bits of treasure, and the brine-pickled bodies of dozens of brutally slaughtered small furry animals (mostly dogs).
His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad rules Licktoad Village
from atop the great Teeter Chair, which is 6 feet high and allows him to more properly look down on his subjects. By tradition, Chief Gutwad does not speak directly to his subjects. Instead, he employs an advisor through whom he whispers instructions, for the words coming out of Chief Gutwad's mouth are so mighty that they might frighten away all the words in the heads of lesser goblins.
Only his duly appointed advisor, an overdressed, pompous goblin named Slorb, can handle the might of the chief ’s words without fainting from fear. You are gathered before the entrance to the Moot House, awaiting invitation from Slorb to enter.
Remember that you all know each other, having grown up in the same village.
Rabble Poog |
When he finishes his prayers to Zarongel, Poog packs his belongings quickly, eager to start a mission of burning and mayhem. He was in such a hurry, he almost forgots his lucky pet toad, and searches for it frantically. Scratching his head to try and think of where to search next, he finds the toad sitting on his head. With a shrug, he scurries off for the meeting.

Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy draws his dogslicer, STIK, just in case his mischievous shenanigans fail. Chuffy sneaks up to Poog ...

Well, he attempts to anyway, he unfortunately slips on a slug and slides right into Poog's back side as Poog is arriving for the meeting. He hides his dogslicer and gives Poog a mischievous smile as his face turns red, "Morninz Poogz, runnin' latez?!" Then one of Chuffy's pustular boils, "POPs!", spraying towards Poog.
Reeta |
"Reeta chop and Reeta bite!
Reeta slay and Reeta fight!
Reeta stab and Reeta smite!
Reeta kills it all just right!"
Reeta Bigbad merrily sings as she saunters over to the group, wiping a greasy hand across the front of her ill-fitting corset and blowing the tattered wedding veil out from her face.
"Howdy, boys!" Reeta exclaims with a grin, pulling a fat caterpillar from her pocket. With a mischievous giggle she pulls off each of the wriggling creature's tiny legs and flicks them away before popping its body in her toothy maw and chomping down with a satisfying *SQUELCH*. "Been waitin' long?" she asks through caterpillar-stained teeth. "Where's Slorb?"
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy moves away from Poog giving him space, "Heyee Reetaz, wez havez been waitingz for too longz. Slorbz is prollyz kissingz his toadz insteadz of lickingz it?"
Chuffy put stik away when no one is watching.
Rabble Poog |
Poog wipes his face off, a bit surprised and confused by Chuffy's actions. "We be gonna watch that pus bucket, ain't we, Dogfinder? Poog no like sneakz when they sneakz him."
Poog then sees a fly buzzing around his head, and starts to follow it.
GMG |
A high-pitched, nasal voice that you recognize as the voice of chief advisor Slorb calls out from the Moot house "You enter now!"
Inside, Chief Gutwad sits precariously atop the Teeter Chair. Gutwad is a corpulent goblin who looks down on you from his high vantage point. Slorb stands at his side, holding a piece of rolled canvas. You sit now in front of the Chief. (what a great honor!),
Then, much to your surprise and shock, Chief Gutwad speaks to you directly in a deep, booming voice. “You all be heroes. Each of you. You are best Licktoads but for me. And maybe but for Slorb.
That you aren’t fleeing in terror from mighty sound of my voice is all the proof you should need. Yet soon, all Licktoad goblins will know your might, for I have picked you for a dangerous mission. You know about fireworks and map we found in Scribbleface’s hut. Fireworks were fun. But map is more fun. It shows a route to a place near the coast where Scribbleface found fireworks. And it says there are more fireworks there!
I want them for Licktoads. You all go get them tomorrow. Tonight we have big bonfire to burn bad luck away from you, and we play many games. Much fun. Tomorrow you fetch me fireworks. If you meet men, you make them dead. If you meet dogs, you make them dead. If you meet horses, you make them dead. If you meet Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many, you maybe should run. And if you not find fireworks, you not come back or we feed you to Squealy Nord!”
Squealy Nord is the fearsome boar who lives in a muddy pit in the middle of the village, right next to the goblin baby cages.
Chief Gutwad waves his hand and Slorb steps forward, holding out the rolled piece of canvas.
Rabble Poog |
Poog puffs up his chest with pride.
"We is big heroes now!" It appears he has forgotten that he hasn't done anything of value yet.
Poog takes the canvas and looks at it. Then he turns it around and looks again. After a few tries, he gets it right. "What do we do with this?" he asks.
GMG |
The map is relatively simple, showing little more than the Licktoad village, the old shipwreck on the coast that supposedly contains the fireworks, and the creek that runs between the two locations. By following the creek, you should be able to easily reach the old wreck. Unfortunately, the old wreck is also located in the part of the swamp that all Licktoads know to be the territory of Vorka the cannibal...
Since then, the story says that she’s lived alone somewhere along the coast to the west of Licktoad village, and while she’s never returned, most goblins who go missing in that part of the swamp are assumed to have been eaten by the cannibal.

Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy looks at all of the chief's treasure and then holds his hands when he said they were all heroes, "AYEEEEE, WE BEZ HEROZ!" After Poog grabs the map, Chuffy stands up and looks over Poog's shoulder.

"Me goes get stuff ready for important mission. We meet by fire to burn bad luck. Me sees if I can find stick throwing thingy first." He leaves the group to see if he can acquire an extra weapon to assist in his new mission. He does not like bows but knows that his ranged attacks are limited.
changing my extract to one shield and the other open, looking for a light crossbow and some bolts, looking about to get an idea of what is going on, also coudl there be another motive for this expedition?
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy holds his hands on the way out to make sure he does not "redistribute" ownership of anything from the chieftain to himself since they have all been labeled as heroes and does not want to have a visit with Squealy Nord. Outside, "Me preparez too before bad luck bon firez." Chuffy hurries home to gather his gear and boast his heroics to his wife, Lotty. He opens the door quickly and starts to prepare while speaking to her, "Lottyz, chief sayz we arez heroz. We goez after night bad luck bon firez to getz fire stickz for chief in Vorka'z territory." After gathering his stuff, Chuffy hopes to get lucky before the bon fire for being a hero and looks lustfully at her.
Reeta |
Reeta's wide toothy grin nearly splits her balloon-like head when Chief Gutwad calls her a hero. She dances with excitement at the mention of more fireworks.

"Now we burn away bad luck an' play games!!!" Reeta exclaims, popping another fat caterpillar into her mouth and chewing noisily.

Chuffy pulls out STIK and stabs in the air, "Yeah me stikz stikz stikz Vorka in the backz backz backz. Me needz to get stuff and be back" Chuffy puts STIK away and leaves to get gear.

MogMurch looks about the festivities, the bonefire flickers heat towards him, while Rempty wonders off here and there just to return and lick the sweat that collects upon his face. She has her habits but is dependable if not latchy. He thinks that the bad luck may have been burnt away and awaits for the festivities to finish so he can get started with the mission.

Goblins toil all afternoon to build the bonfire out of branches, sticks, and unburnt timbers taken from the ruins of Scribbleface’s hut. As night falls, a group of four struggling goblins carry the Teeter Chair (with Chief Gutwad sitting atop it) out to the bonfire, and the chief lights the fire with one of the remaining fireworks. This signals the start of the party that features lots of good things to eat (snails, fish, and snakes)
The chief brings out a barrel of fermenting cider apples early on and most goblins get drunk very quickly. Ekkie - a female goblin - belches loudly and shouts "So I heard we have some heroez in our midst! I bettz they are no true sjampions! Will them take on my darez? Or are zey cowards?"
Ekkie continues "I bet you arez not able to dance with Squaly Nord!". The rest of the goblins cheer her on and look at the four of you…

"Argh!" Poog marches around in a huff.
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy and Lotty catch up with the curse ridding bonfire with a signature goblin smile on their faces. Chuffy's gear is ready to go but does not bring it to the party since he does not want to donate any of it to other tribe mates. The both arrive in time to see Poog do a nose dive into the mud and he looks at Lotty, "OOOOHHH, mez gotz to try that!" Chuffy heads over to the corral for his turn. "Hey Poogzy, that mud beard lookz good on ya. Me turnz"
Chuffy begins his ride, "AAAAAIIIIIEEEE" .... "OINK OINK OINK"
Ride1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Chuffy slips on some mud on Nord's back and now looks like Poog, he pounds the mud and goes back again. Wiping some of the mud so he does not slip, he gets back on, "AAAAAIIIIIEEEE" .... "OINK OINK OINK"
Ride2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Ride3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Ride4: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
This time he rides around the track, with a big smile on his face and popping boils from the jeering as he goes around the pit.
Ride5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Not paying attention, he ducks in time to miss the shrub branch. Then heads back to the corral.
Ride6: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Nord comes to a sudden halt and Chuffy is able to stay in the saddle to dismount for the next contestant. Lotty is there to lick the mud (and puss) off Chuffy's face, "ME HERO!" Chuffy has an ear to ear grin on his face.
Reeta |
"Hee-Hee-HEE!!" Reeta shrieks with delight as she watches Mogmurch and Poog try to ride Squealy Nord. She laughs even louder when Chuffy falls off on his first attempt, but cheers excitedly for the pustular goblin as he succeeds at his second attempt. "My turn! MY TURN!!" Reeta yells once Chuffy is done.
The other goblins barely have time to tether Squealy Nord before Reeta leaps onto the pig's back and cuts the cord with a slash from her dogslicer. Holding on with one hand while waving her dogslicer about with the other, the balloon-headed goblin whoops and hollers as the squealing pig shoots from the narrow corral and scampers around the muddy pit, her tattered wedding veil fluttering wildly about her face.

DC 15 Ride check 3: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Grinning toothily from ear-to-ear (quite a disturbing sight on a goblin with such a large head), Reeta takes one more ride around the ring, sticking her tongue out and rudely blowing a raspberry in Ekkie's direction as she heads back to the corral.
DC 15 Ride check 4: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
"HA!" she exclaims as she dismounts and hops nimbly out of the corral. "That not so hard! Got it on first try! What next?" she asks loudly, as she chomps on another cider apple.
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy's smile ends as he sees Reeta have a better ride then him but since they will be adventuring together, he praises her, "You ridez goodz Reetaz, I thinkz your aheadz right nowz since you didz not fall off! But me secondz! ... Chuffy says with a smile.
Reeta |
"You rides good too, Chuffy!" Reeta exclaims, spraying chewed up cider apple from her toothy maw. "Think some of you'se pus gots on Squealy Nord, made him sticky-sticky so me no falls off!" she chuckles, giving Chuffy a companionable slap on his back.

"You did gooder only cuz yu say me ride first!" Mogmurch's hopes were high as he saw the others fall and retry hoping that the original fall had disqualified them, but Reeta's masterful show of skill took away his hopes and only does Rempty give him the admiration that he felt cheated out from.
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy chuckles, "He He He" ... then is interrupted with more popping boils after Reeta's companionable slap, then starts to chuckle again .... "He He He". Lotty gives Chuffy the jealous eye, he stops chuckling, and Chuffy grabs two apples, gives one to Lotty and eats the other for Chuffy knows better not to anger the misses. He looks at Morz, "Yeah Morzy, you did gooder until the end but why didn'tz you getz back on Nordzy after you fellz?

Nonlethal damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Mogmurch and Poog quickly fall from the twisting piglet and do not get a chance to get on it again, causing a lot of frustration with the would-be-heroes. Then it is Chuffy's turn, he slips on some mud and twists his ankle when landing 2 nonlethal damage. Ekkie shouts in glee "Seee, you'ze no hewoe! Cheif shoulds have choozen me!"
Finally Reta tries, whether it is because of her riding skill or because Squealy Nord is tired is not sure, point is that she stays on the pig's back longer than required. Chief Gutwad whispers something to Slorb who runs of and quickly returns with a flask that he presents to Reeta.
"Herez, Cheif says you be reel hero, you get Dragon Brew Gourd"
Elixer of Fire breathing
Ekkie pipes up again "Haha! I don't zink zey can eatz a bag of bull slugs real quick"
A covered wicker basket containing the slug bag is brought before everyone who accepts this dare, along with a napkin made out of a soggy leaf. You have 1 minute (6 rounds) to eat an entire bag of bullslugs to win this dare. Eating the slugs is not a problem, even though they wriggle, taste of rotten fish, and burst with a little squeal when chewed. Eating a full bag in a minute is the hard part. There are five slugs in the bag, and successfully eating one requires a DC 15 Fortitude save (this drops to a DC 10 Fortitude save if the goblin doesn’t bother to spit out the slug’s mildly poisonous slime bladder—but neglecting to take care not to eat the slime bladder could have repercussions). Eating a slug is a full-round action (because of the squirming), and a goblin who fails a save can attempt to swallow the same slug on the following round.

Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy limps over to see the slugs, grabs one, and squeezes it just to hear it scream, "He He He". Then debates eating the (5) slugs to maybe win a prize but sticks out his tongue in disgust at remembering the taste, "All yourz Morzy and Reetaz"
Reeta |
A minute is 10 6-second rounds, correct?
Ekkie pipes up again "Haha! I don't zink zey can eatz a bag of bull slugs real quick"
"All yourz Morzy and Reetaz"
Reeta sticks out her tongue at Ekkie's dare and rudely blows a raspberry in the offending female goblin's direction. She plops down across the basket from Mogmurch and gives the alchemist a fierce grin. "Come on, Moggy! We shows them what REAL goblin heroez is mades of!"
Reeta reaches into the bag, pulls out a slug, and pops it into her mouth. She chews with gusto and grins messily as the slimy creature squeals as it pops, and she is careful to spit out the slime bladder before swallowing with a loud gulp. As she swallows she reaches for the next slug and repeats the procedure...
DC 15 Fort Save 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

... But seems to have trouble swallowing the fifth slug. She makes several more attempts to swallow the last one...

... And finally manages to force the vile creature down her throat just before the time expires, spitting the last poisonous slime bladder in Ekkie's direction.
Chuffy "Rabble" Lickwound |
Chuffy reels in disgust and sticks out his tongue, "Mez dontz have to eatz yuckyz slug to be heroz, me just needz to stick something like this." He stabs a slug with his dog slicer and takes pleasure as it squeals.

"Alrighty, me gives it a go!" Reeta declares as she wipes the last of the slug slime from her face.
As the other goblins focus their attention on Mogmurch and Chuffy's dash into the marsh, Reeta sneaks off in the opposite direction and hides within a large mud puddle under a clump of bushes.

Poog is quickly found, and is clobbered twice by a club 1 damage + 1 nonlethal damage. After a while Chuffy has had it with this game and saunters back to the other group, followed quickly by Mogmurch. Reeta manages to hide for the longest time and is rewarded with the Ring That Lets You Climb Real Good (ring of climbing); like Gorge of Gluttons, this magic ring is on loan from the chieftain’s treasury.
Ekkie is about to explode, frustrated that the heroes are capable for beating her dares and are rewarded for it! "I safed the best for lest! The Rusty Earbiter!" The crowd gawks and falls silent at the audacity of daring the heroes to go through that awful thing...
The infamous Rusty Earbiter is a hollow coil of rusty wires, barrel hoops, bent swords, and thorny branches and vines that's kept behind the
Moot House when not in use. So named for the fact that it's claimed a number of goblin ears in the past you can see 3 partially severed goblin ears tangled in its sharp internal coils, the Rusty Earbiter is both an object of fascination and fear for the Licktoads.
The half-insane tinkerer who invented the thing has long since died (carried off one night by a giant bird of some sort after his first and only test of a prototype bird-attracting hat), but his legacy lives on...
A half-dozen eager goblins roll the 20-foot coil out from behind the Moot House with the typical number of slashed fingers and stabbed legs such a task normally brings. If you agree to do this dare you must climb into one end of the Rusty Earbiter and then wriggle through it, coming out the other side.
Each Escape Artist check takes 1 full round to attempt, and each one must be repeated until a successful check is made before moving on to the next one (or, in the case of the last check, successfully crawling out the far end of the tube).
If you fail more than three checks, the other goblins get bored, throw a few small rocks, and wander off; after that point it doesn’t matter if you get out or not, although if you gets stuck for a few days, someone might help. But probably not.
Each failed Escape Artist check causes 1d4–2 points of damage (a result of less than 1 point of damage indicates no damage is taken) from the Rusty Earbiter's spiky spikes.
