GM RePete: We Be Goblins Series (Inactive)

Game Master RePete

Yes to taking 10 on the check - currently not in immediate danger

Though the fence stops just short of the overturned boat, the hull fills the gap so unable to walk through this part onto the property.

Description of what Chuffy finds...

An upturned boat, an old river barge by the look of it, sits in the mud here. The boat’s stern has been built into the fence, and a large hole has been smashed in the southern side to provide entrance to the dark hollow created by the hull.

Peering around the side of the boat you see a large sow laying in the entrance, while two others sit within. One is particularly dirty and complacent. The other looks oddly familiar with a few stab wounds and recent scorch marks. The don't seem to notice you.

Chuffy can maybe kill piggy... but then make noise and other piggies chase... Not willing to risk it without being able to run behind a bevy of goblin meat, Chuffy continues his prowl around the compound.
________

What take Chuffy so long? Poog frowns, having lost sight of the sub-chief of sneaks almost as soon as he ran off. Maybe Chuffy already be eaten by Pa Lunchmeat?! He shrugs. He better not try to haunt Mogmurch, Reta, and Poog, or he be exercised by Chief of Spirits! Standing proud, but a little bored, Poog inspects his wands and tries to decide which would work best for an exorcism.

As Chuffy makes his way around the outside of the fence, he can see the large two story building looming in the center. It's safe to assume this is Pa Munchmeat's home, though he's unable to see inside.

Section 4

Three decrepit hen houses slump in the mud, just outside the massive home. The nervous clucking of several hens can be heard from inside.

Continuing to move clockwise

As Chuffy makes his way around to the east side of the propertyline, he can see beneath the large house, an open area has been filled with straw, branches, and underbrush. Something....something big has turned this into a nest. High above the area, he can just make out a trapdoor set in the ceiling.

Staring at the structure below for a moment, Chuffy notices the entire building seems to be held up by a number of stilts. A long, steep ramp leads up to a closed door in the front of the building.

From his location, he's unable to make out much else as he finishes his loop back to the goblins waiting for him.

Materializing before their very eyes, Chuffy has a particularly mischievous grin on his face. "Chuffy see everything!" he squeals. "Many bits to burn under house and piggy that try to eat us. Maybe burn house from bottom or knock down sticks holding house up? What Chief Moggy think?"
________
Hooray for not having to reiterate everything the GM said in goblin-speak! My proposed plan of attack is to take out those pigs first. Assuming we can do so without anyone noticing, I then say we either light the bottom of the house on fire, or start breaking stilts to have the house come crashing down. What do y'all think?

If Chuffy really be dead, maybe Poog get all his stuff- "Waagh!" Poog almost jumps out of his skin when Chuffy suddenly appears, dropping his many wands. His surliness at the interruption of his thoughts is quickly replaced by eager anticipation as soon as he hears what lies ahead. "Many bits to burn!?" His smile gets wider and wider as the sub-chief of sneaks gives his report, and nods vigorously. "Oh, fire, fire! We should start fire!"
___
Sounds good to me, Poog is always down to set something on fire and he has unfinished business with that pig. :)

"Reta not scared," Reta explains as she picks herself up off the ground in the wake of Chuffy's reappearance. "Reta know Chuffy there whole time. Veil fall, and Reta had to pick it up."

After a few more moments of deep breathing, during which she makes a show of adjusting her veil clearly more than is needed, she continues.

"Definitely go finish pig. Maybe take little break to eat pig after. Smelled good. Then Reta like burn place. Always good idea to burn."

Making your way into the compound, you follow sub-chief of sneaks lead as you stay close to the fence line. Closing in on the pigs home, Chuffy stops you behind a small bush.

To the northeast, you see the house looming over the compound, though a smaller outbuilding stands between you and the abode. Though the entrance is out of site, the tall weeds growing around it give the impression it's not been used regularly.

Looking ahead to the overturned boat, you notice one pig is resting lazily in the only entrance. Deeper inside, you recognize the bloody, charred boar from your previous encounter. Finally, a dirty one sits at the far end of the makeshift pen; keeping it's distance from the others. It looks oddly familiar...

Chuffy, you can retry this check from earlier as well, now that you can see it a little better

You get a surprise round. Reminder: That grants you 1 standard action or 1 move action

Surprise Round
Poog
Chuffy
Reta
Mogmurch

And Round 1 Actions

Round 1: Fight!

Poog
Chuffy
Reta
Mogmurch
3 Pigs

All up for Surprise Round and Round 1

Wisdom: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"We feast! All these sub-chiefly duties make Poog hungry." Poog runs forward and points a finger at the lazy pig, shooting a great bolt of fire at the goblins' dinner. "Wait! Be that Squealy Nord behind fat pig? But Mogmurch say he run off far far away..." He narrows his eyes suspiciously at Mogmurch. "Mogmurch in the hoots with Pa?! That how he become chief... Now all make sense!"

Atk. Firebolt vs. Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Dmg. Fire: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
___
Move in surprise round, move again in round 1 and attack.

Sorry to be slow to post - been a hectic several days

Lord Mogmurch is delighted with Chuffy's plan. "Yes, after we eat pig, we burn the house down! Then all know we goblins to be feared! Let's stay spread apart in case piggies have fire breath on us..."

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Wondering if the fire pigs are resistant or immune to fire? But with a roll like that, I'll keep wondering...

During the surprise round, Mogmurch just moves 30' closer. During round 1, Mogmurch moves another 30', past the pig at the entrance, and throws a flask of acid at him.

Acid flask, vs flat-footed touch, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 20
Acid dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Reta drinks her potion before she begins approaching the upturned boat; she remembered the last encounter with the fire-breathing pig well.

She then advances, calling out "FIRE!" to make her dogslicer burst into flame when she arrives at the boat, patiently waiting for a pig to burst forth and attack her.

"MOGGY IN THE HOOTS! MOGGY IN THE HOOTS!" Chuffy chants, not entirely sure what Poogy just accused Mogmurch of, but understanding it was an accusation all the same. Waiting to see how everything develops, Chuffy fires his hand crossbow twice and keeps his distance from the pig.
________
Hand Crossbow (Sneak Attack) vs Green (Flat-Footed): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + (1, 3) = 6
Hand Crossbow (Sneak Attack) vs Green (Flat-Footed): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + (1, 2) = 5
Surprise round: 5ft step North, Shoot. Regular round: reload, shoot, 5ft step Northeast.

Rushing forward, Poog fires a blob of fire at the sleepy sow. Slamming into its side, the beast stirs with a vicious *OINK*

Before it has a chance to retaliate, two holes appear in it's side from Chuffy's crossbow!

Preparing for the animalistic response, Reta downs her potion and activates the wondrous fire on her blade.

It's eyes begin to close, rapidly. A flask of acid explodes on the beast, the smell of singed flesh wafts in the air as the creature struggles to its feet.

Its eyes narrowing, it lumbers towards Reta. Taking a burning slash across it's large torso, it thrusts it's tusks towards the woman...shoving them into the dirt.

With a loud squeel, from within, the charred pig can be seen drinking...something as it rushes out of the pen.

Slowly, Squealy Nord makes his way towards the entrance, and looks to the opposing goblins with concern.

Round 2

Poog
Chuffy
Reta
Mogmurch
3 Pigs (Green: -32)

Goblins Up Round 2

Giving the pigs a wide berth, Chuffy circles around them. "Why Squealy Nord not fight pigs? Chief Moggy, do something!" he wails.
________
Dogslicer (Readied): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 201d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Move to current position. Ready to swing at a pig.

Chuffy's question about Squealy Nord is curious to Reta, but she has a much bigger pig to worry about in front of her. She continues her assault on it, the smell of tasty seared pork filling her nostrils with each strike!

I'm confused about Squealy Nord. Is he one of the 3 pigs on the map? If so, which one? And does he look hostile to us?

Knowledge (Nature) to see if Squealy appears to be charmed or to have otherwise switched sides: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Also, does it appear that the pigs are taking damage from fire or does it seem like they might be immune or resistant to it?

Having no idea what Poog and Chuffy are accusing him of, Mogmurch assumes that it must be some sort of war chant that his underlings dreamed up while they were marching to the farm. His heart is filled with joy at the realization of how greatly his subjects adore him. "Yes, all hoot for Lord Mogmurch! Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! Give a hoot, then your loot, all hail Lord Mogmurch!"

With that, he hurls a bomb at the Green Pig (assuming that neither Green nor Red are Squealy).

bomb attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
fire dmg: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8
Splash dmg is 4 fire, Reflex DC 13 for half, using precise bombs to select out Reta's square

And then Mogmurch moves a bit further away from the angry (presumably) fire-breathing pigs.

A sucker for a good chant, Poog has already forgotten about his accusations and sings along. "Hoot! Hoot!, Punch 'em in the snoot!" As the smoke clears from Mogmurch's bomb, Poog runs up to get into a better position. "Poog save Squealy Nord from bigger, tastier pigs!" He yells as he thrusts a hand towards the pigs fighting Reta. Suddenly a blistering cone of fire bursts from his hand, enveloping both pigs and filling the air with the sweet sweet scent of bacon. Poog shakes his head to remove the excess drool from his mouth and yells. "DANGER CLOSE, Reta! Danger close..."

Dmg. fire: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) = 5 Reflex save (DC 13) for half damage.

15' cone should get both pigs and nothing else.

The brown outlined pig is Squealy Nord. He doesn't look hostile at the moment.

By the power of Zarongel, Poog summons some fire of his own. The smell of sizzling bacon wafts through the region.

Chuffy circles around, preparing for close combat fighting. Eyeing his old friend, he tries to get Chief Mogmurch to be Chiefly with Squealy.

Chief of the birdmunchers lobs a bomb, encouraged by the new war chant, and with a *BaABOOM* the pig from earlier collapses. The new, fatter pig sways a bit, but stays upright: a bit darker than it once was.

Reta hefts her blade high, and slices off a large slice of cooked rump roat, and the pig collapses.

Combat Over

Hesitantly, slowly the final pig moves towards Poog. He rubs his snout against the goblins leg, and whines softly. Looking up, it waits for your response.

Where to now?

Chuffy hefts one of the gourds in his hand. "Look! Look! Chuffy throw bomb now too!" he cheers, tossing it high in the air multiple times. While the rest of the goblins look over the pigs, he stalks into the overturned boat to search for more treasure or foes.
________
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Take 10 on stealth for a 33.

"SQUEEEEEALY!!!" Poog exclaims, opening his arms to welcome the pig back to the tribe. "Why Squealy Nord leave Licktoads? Poog thought you be gone forever!" He pinches the pigs cute chubby cheeks fondly, then immediately jumps on his back. "Is sign! Zarongel want Poog to ride into battle, stab all in face then run away with the mighty speed of a pig!"
___
Ride; No Saddle: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 5 = 6

My vote (after chuffy has searched the boat) is to search building 2 on our way to do the burning as previously planned. Take 10 for 19 stealth.

"Mighty speed of PIIIIIIIG!!!!" Reta exclaims as she slaps Squealy Nord's rump with the flat of her blade, hoping to send the pig running with Poog astride. "Squealy Nord fastest pig ever, maybe!"

Reta looks to Chief Mogmurch for direction, then pointedly looks over at the smaller building nearby if Mogmurch doesn't direct them that way.

Building 2 sounds like a good plan. I've moved Reta's token near that.

If I can use Perception on the Spellcraft check for the gourds (I think Alchemists can do this with potions, not sure if this qualifies, but it is something you drink...)

Perception to identify the gourds: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Mogmurch points at the gourds and asks if any of the sub-chieftains have Spellcraft. If not, he'll use one of his potions of Identify to figure out what they are, and then he'll take one for himself and give one to Poog (hope that makes sense to everyone else, give them to the two non-melee types)

Mogmurch tries to figure out what has happened to Squealy K (Nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 and assuming that he hasn't gone over to Pa Munchmeat's side, orders him to fall into ranks. (He gives him a few pickles from the jar to sweeten his command).

Building 2 sounds good to me.

Mogmurch, another option would be to use Craft (Alchemy) on these since you're trained - And...we'll say you take 10, tada! you know what they are.

At the slap, Squealy Nord screams out "ReeeREEreee" but by the grace of Zarongel...or was it the pickles...the boar stands fast. Further inspection of the makeshift pen grants no further results.

=Bulding 2=
This flimsy structure seems to have started out as a workshed, but its sagging walls have been almost entirely overtaken by rampant plant life.

Looking around inside, Reta and Mogmurch find 3 more gourds that look identical to the ones the pigs had.

Any planning you wish to do regarding the main building, feel free. Is that your next visit? Or going to the other building around back first?

Chuffy quickly snatches one of the gourds. "Chuffy want to be dragon too!" he whines, hoping he gets to keep this one. "Where to next Moggy? Chuffy want to burn down house!" Chuffy not so good with singy songs, but thinking maybe a singy song is good for house burning. Maybe when roof start to burning... Chuffy thinking more later.
________
As a goblin with a "fire grenade" in my hands and a penchant for murderous acts, I want to do the main building right now. As a player, hitting up area 4 is probably wise. Whatever y'all think is good for me! I've also remembered that I have a potion of invis, I could use that to peek into the house too!

Poog, knowing that he is not-so-secretly awful at riding animals, breaths a sigh of relief when Squealy Nord lives up to his name and squeals instead of running. "See! Poog destined to ride Squealy Nord... Only, Squealy tired, maybe, from fighting bigger, tastier pigs." He hops off of the pig's back, sweating after the close call, and surreptitiously feeds Squealy Nord a pickled fish head. "Best if Poog stay on foot for now."

Poog leads (or drags) the poor pig towards the workshed and nods eagerly at Chuffy's suggestion. "As sub-chief of spirits, Poog says burn house! Is good luck, make Zarongel happy, make others dead. Is win, win!" He grins evilly, juggling a gourd in his hands.
___
Agreed! As a goblin devoted to starting fires who has just found out he can breath fire. Poog will be very eager to do the main building right away.

"Squealy Nord weak pig with no sense of fun. Stupid pig." Reta is definitely disappointed that her gambit didn't go off with success, but she bucks up again when the talk turns again to burning the main building.

Turning one of the gourds over in her hand, Reta examines it with suspicion. "So eat gourd, breathe fire like dragon?" Her brows furrow before she offers it back to the other goblins. She holds her dogslicer aloft. "FIRE!" she exclaims, causing the blade to again burst into flame. "Reta never like pumpkin anyway; can make own fire with this instead!" She pulls her jar of pickled halfling toes out of her bag, slipping one out and crunching on it quickly, to wash the remembered taste of pumpkin away.
___________________
The player in me is interested in the loot inside the building, and whatever story elements would be revealed by exploration, but I sure can't come up with a reason for Reta to be concerned with such things, so burn it down!

K. Sounds like we'll be burning the thing down. Honestly, I have yet to see a situation where this house wasn't set on fire. However, I've not seen it done the same way twice yet. :-P

How do you wish to proceed with the fire?

You have 5 stilts/poles that hold the residence off the ground. There are two ramps that lead up to doors. The two-story building and it's hut perched on top are almost entirely wooden with straw roofing.

I don't want to lead you anywhere with this, so use your imagination and decide how you wish to proceed. Feel free to move to the discussion thread if needed to scheme.

Sorry for the delay in posting - it's been a hectic several days - will try to be better going forward!

Mogmurch admires the cunning of his subchieftains. "Yes, let's burn it down! Let Pa Munchmeat come out into our ambush. Ha, haha, hahahaha!!!"

Mogmurch turns quizzical for a moment. "But what if Pa not there? We need some 'telligenz. Chuffy, why don't you take yer potion o' invisible and scout out up there and tell us who there and which way they come out? Then we set ambush for them! We set stilts on fire and then when they come rushing out, we kabloom!"

---

Mogmurch, of course, wants to be bossy, but as a player, I don't want to tell anyone else what to do. This is just a suggestion and I'm fine with other approaches. It does sound like we all like the idea of burning down the house! :-)

It does sound like we all like the idea of burning down the house! :-)[/ooc]

Watch out; you might get what you're after.

Poog finds himself wishing he had a pickled halfling toe to crunch on, but is suitably distracted by other things before jealously kicks in. "Stilts o' fire! Stilts o' fire! Then we all agreed?" Poog cheers as he pulls out several unlit torches from who knows where. "Soon Poog be most favoured follower of Zarongel, and we have good luck for long time! Months maybe... or even WEEKS! But first, for most 'portant part..." He leans in and whispers conspiratorially. "What we sing when house burn?"

I'll change my plan a little to keep things simple. Poog will help Reta setting fire to/destroying the stilts. He'll hack away at a stilt and use several lit torches to set it alight. When Reta switches to firing arrows at the nest, Poog will switch to magic and to the same.

Chuffy pulls out his potion of invisibility, ready to quaff once everyone is in position. He then clears his throat and releases a gurgly, croak that takes a moment to realize is an attempt as song. "We didn't start the fire! It was always burning since the world's been turning!"

He looks expectantly at Poog. "Chuffy work on that long time! What Poogy the Forgiven thinking?"

"Hmm... Not sure. It be good, but don't we want all to know we did start the fire?" Poog rubs his chin, deep in though. "How about..." He puts a hand on his chest and starts a few vocal warm ups that sounds like a series of burps, then he launches into one of his favourite Zarongel hymns.

♫ Fun is a burning thing
And we makes a fiery ring
Like a great big fryer
We stick you in a thing on fire

And it burns, burns, burns
The thing on fire
The thing on fire ♫
___
Sung to Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Mogmurch hums along with the battle song joyfully. It's good to be a goblin!

Turning his attention to the plan, Mogmurch checks to see if the flame from torches will be sufficient to burn the stilts down. Craft (alchemy): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 (assuming that a lot of Mogmurch's "alchemy" is about fire...)

"Instead of torches, maybe we should use these gourds of fire breath to really get the place blazing! Or I can even use a bead from my necklace of fireballs if we need it."

After we get the fires going, if it seems like any of our foes are able to come out to fight, Mogmurch will drink his extracts of Shield and Expeditious Retreat (they only have 3 minutes duration, so he'll only drink them when/if it seems like we are about to have a fight).

Mogmurch would think it would take a while to light the stilts with torches. His bombs on the other hand would work better, as would all of...or pieces of his necklace.

If we are ready, go ahead and start your initial actions.

For the stilts, we're going to say hardness 5 and HP 15, but they are vulnerable to fire and take 50% more damage from fire.

You can light them with a torch, but it takes a full round of holding the torch against it to ignite it.

Other things, straw, the nest, etc - could be lit more easily with a torch (standard)

Go ahead and give me a Surprise Round and 1 Round of actions. Then we'll likely go into initiatives

Reta stands underneath the house, next to one of the stilts. At the start, she waits patiently with the others for some kind of signal from Mogmurch. Better if we decide on signal first, now Reta not know what she wait for.

She waits a little while longer, then sees a squirrel dart across the enclosure as it hunts for some nut or other. Cool signal Chief Moggy! How you get squirrel to send signal for you?

With a power cry of "FIRE!!!" to get her blade alight, she begins hacking away at the stilt with fury and glee.

With a lit torch in each hand, Poog scampers gleefully over to the nearest stilt and eagerly waits for the signal. It doesn't even occur to him that no signal was agreed upon, and he just stands in front of the wooden stilt, giggling inanely. Finally, he hears Reta shout, and almost bursts a blood vessel as he echos the call, "FIRE!!" He holds the torches against the stilt until it catches, then drops one torch at the base for good measure and pulls out a gourd blessed by Zarongel.
___

"WHY YOU NO WAIT FOR CHUFFY TO GLUE DOOR?!" the ugly creature wails, quaffing his potion. He does his best to then hurry up to the door and pull out the glue to follow their plan.
________
Surprise Round: drink potion of invisibility, Round 1: move to door and pull out sovereign glue.

Oops, I thought we were gonna wait until we had glued the door shut? What a bunch o' goblins we are!!! :-)

Mogmurch smiles with satisfaction when Subchieftain Reta recognizes his squirrel signal. Squirrels hard to train, but worth it...

With that, he tosses one of the beads from his necklace of fireballs at the stilt.

Surprise Round
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4) = 15

Round 1
Mogmurch drinks his gourd of firebreath. If his stilt is still standing he breathes on it. Was it 2d6? Otherwise, he moves towards the nearest stilt.

Leaping to action as the ingenious squirrel sign is recognized. Big Headed Reta makes quick work of her stilt, slicing it in half. The firey blade ignites the wood and begins to travel upward.

Poog ignites the stile before him as well and tugs a fire breath gourd out of his pocket.

Realizing he's late to the party, Chuffy quickly downs his potion and rushes up the ramp. Glue in hand, he hears something....big moving inside.

A massive *BOOM* shakes the building as the stilt near Mogmurch explodes in a shard of splinters.

Round 2
Chuffy
Poog
Mogmurch

Reta

Chuffy/Poog/Mogmurch up

Poog laughs maniacally as the stilt ignites and starts scampering off towards the next one, but stops at the bottom of the ramp. "Why you so slow?" He shouts up, as he takes a bite of his gourd. "We did waid! We waid phor sidnal, bud you nod ready!" He continues, speaking with his mouth full and spiting half chewed squash all over the ramp. He waves his torch at accusingly at Chuffy as he stuffs the rest of the gourd in his mouth. "If you nod ready, why we plan ad all?" He might not be able to see the sub-chief of sneaks, but he knows he's there.
___
Move 30', Standard to eat gourd of fire, saving the burp for later.

"CHUFFY NOT KNOW PLAN FINISHED! POOGY CAN'T BLAME CHUFFY FOR MOGGY'S POOR LEADERNESS OR RETA, SUBCHIEF OF NOTHING, FOR FAT HEADEDNESS! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR!" he continues to whine as he starts dumping the fluid under the door.
________
I think it is a full-round action to pour out the glue? and then it has to sit for one round to set?

Which stilts are already destroyed? Which are on fire but still standing? And which are untouched?

Mogmurch moves to the nearest untouched stilt and breathes fire from his gourd breath on it.

fire breath: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

"Hahahahahaha! Burn, burn, burn! Pa Munchmeat, now you find out how it feels to be the toast in the toaster, the panini in the press, the marshmallow in the, in the, in the... well, you find out for sure!!! hahahahaha!!!!"

Quickly pouring the contents of his vial all over the door, Chuffy tries to explain himself as Poog moves over and drinks a flaming concoction.

Mogmurch moves over to another connection point and quickly ignites it. The whole building seems to be leaning dangerously to one side...wonder how that happened.... As the flames continue to spread, the nest of straw and grass beneath ignites. Columns of dense dark smoke bellow from below.

Suddenly, the trap door beneath the building opens up and a strange beast drops down into the smoke. The large creature seems to be an amalgam of fur and feathers, this bizarre half-bear, half-owl monstrosity let's out a loud screech.
No token yet as it's directly under the building
It is large and the smoke gives it concealment (20% miss)

Chuffy hears a few thudding steps from beyond the closed partition. His wides eyes looking to the partially congealed fluid as the goblin tries to hold it shut. To his surprise, the door doesn't swing open, but something rather large is certainly just on the other side...with something else. A growling sound resounds from within.

Higher up, a loud gutteral sound rings out. Squealy Nord begins to snort violently and rushes to Poogs side.

Chuffy and Poog can't see the creature that dropped down from where they are, though they heard it's screech - Reta and Mogmurch can

Red Xs are the stilts that have been destroyed. Red = are the burning ones

Uncertain whether or not the beasts on the other side of the door are aware of his presence, Chuffy begins slowly waddling away despite his invisibility.

"Poogy, Chuffy need new pants. No ask questions, just do thing for Chuffy, ok?" he whispers as he passes him. Peculiarly, a pair of pants with a suspicious brown stain appear next to Poog and an ungodly stench suddenly smacks the poor goblin right in the nose.
________
Standard action remove pants, Move action to current location. On the move, Chuffy will draw his dogslicer.

Poog's ears pin back when he hears the loud screech from below the building, but immediately forgets to be scared as soon as Chuffy makes his strange request. He looks around with a confused expression, surprised at the quiet seriousness of the request. Where Poog find pants? He wonders, but since that would be a question, he decides not to say anything.

He stares for a moment as the suspiciously stained pants materialise at his feet... And then the smell hits. "HAA! HAHAAH- Ack... HA HA-ack ack!" He chokes on the stench and his eyes water, but he can't stop laughing. "Chuffy be king of pranks and traps! Poog never doubt Chuffy again." With his morale restored and Squealy Nord snorting by his side, Poog hops over the cunning trap for a better view of the nest, pulls a wand from his own pants, and launches a great fireball at the straw underbelly of the building.
____

Mogmurch watches Poog's blast of fire with delight and envy, and then suddenly remembers his own necklace of fireballs and tosses the largest of the beads at the bear-owl, making sure to also catch as many of the building's supports and struts as he can.

Fireball: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 5) = 15 Reflex DC 14 for half

"Pa Lunchbeater, you think that owl disguise will save you?!? Ha, you obviously not understand the wits of true goblin heroes. Prepare to fry! I mean die! Or fry die!"

"WHY IT ALWAYS ABOUT RETA HEAD? RETA FATTEST HEAD IN ALL TRIBES, IS BEAUTIFUL!!! YOU ALWAYS SAY LIKE IT BAD!" She quickly puts her dogslicer away and draws her bow, ready to launch an arrow at the strange creature amidst the smoke. She takes a quick step to the side to have a better line on it.

Oh...owlbear is going to be out of view...but not because you moved.

Reta stows her fancy blade and pulls out her bow. Eyeing the owlbear, she prepares to end it.

Chuffy lays a clever trap for Poog as he sneaks away, still unseen. Just as he clears the ramp, he hears two consecutive explosions ring out behind him.

Turning back, two rather large balls of fire erupt beneath the building, blowing the remaining supports to smithereens. The squawking creature beneath shows it's displeasure with being burned as...a loud *CRACK* rings out and the entire building falls on it with a *Ssquish*.

Several loud groans ring out from within as a large beast leaps from the uppermost section and bellyflops on the ground.

The door miraculously remains sealed and something...big gives it a yank from inside. When the door doesn't open, it tries again.

At the sight of the sprawled figure on the ground, Squealy Nord shrieks and charges forward, biting the creature.

"FAT HEAD! FAT HEAD! FFAAAAAT HEEEAAAAADDD! SAVE SQUEALLY NORD!" Chuffy screams, hoping his desperate whining will entice Reta to stand between him and the monstrosity that just flopped out of the house. "Quick Poogy and Chief Mog! BLOW IT UUUUUUUUUPPPP!"

Emboldened by Squealy Nord's bravery, Chuffy the Pantsless Wonder circles around to the other side of the biggest, ugliest human he has ever seen and stabs it in the foot!

Poog cheers at the satisfying squish, and starts praising the glory of Zarongel as the flaming house falls on top of what he hopes was a big, disgusting dog. However, his cheering and dancing is rudely interrupted when a very long longshank falls from the sky. "Poog can't blow it up!" He screams back at Chuffy. "SQUEALLY TOO CLOSE! And maybe Chuffy... But we just find Squealy Nord, Poog not want to cook him yet."

Thinking very carefully about what he should do, Poog looks at the fire, stuffs his wand back down his pants, and prays. "Zarongel! Accept this sakifice and show Chuffy and Reta and Mogmurch why you be the best!" Suddenly, a large dogslicer made of force appears in a flash of light right next to Squealy Nord. "Haha! STAB IT, STAB IT!!!" Poog cheers enthusiastically, waving his torch around as the weapon starts stabbing at Pa Munchmeat.
