GM..Silbeg's We Be Goblins, Too (PbP Superstars) (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

Chuffy keeps moving on his stealth mission, while Poog and the rest of his sub-chiefs feast on gourds (Remember, you have one left from Piggy as well). Chuffy still doesn't see anything, but his mouth starts watering as he recognizes the three decrepit henhouses slumped, battered in the mud, and he hears the nervous clucking of several chickens can be heard from within.

Poog looks under the house, and he can definitely see something is down there. Something roughly bear-shaped. And large. Definitely large. He also sees that it (she?) is up and moving, but that there is what appears to be a clutch of rather large eggs down there.

EGGSIES! Poogie wants an Egg. Poog not know what it is, but Zarongel must know Poogie can raise Egg as his very own! Poog be best chief ever, all goblin tribes soon pay homage to POOG AND THE BIRDCRUNCHERS!

He sneaks back out and waves the rest of the group back across the bridge quietly.

"Big bear in there. Gotta get it away from eggs. Need chuffy if we have to kills it... back off for now." he whispers to his sub-chiefs, waving them back across the bridge.

"We go meets chuffy on other side of farm... Follow me"

Poog then leads his companions around the east side of the muddy creek, joining up near the chicken coops.

I am worried about being seperated when fighting starts... and even more worried about aggroing the whole camp... Open to ideas to make sure we don't get jumped!

Chuffy deserve snack. Just one chicken. No-one is to be missing it...

Chuffy creeps closer to the hen-house, looking for one that he can quickly and silently kill without alerting anyone else. His tummy is really rumbling! Sneakily, Chuffy pulls his new cloak up over his ears and creeps closer for a better look at the chickens.

Chuffy stealth to sneak up on hen house: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35

When there, Chuffy searches around for a chicken that isn't too aware of its surroundings (maybe a sleeping one?) that he could potentially slice open (neck first, to stop clucking) and quickly retreat.

The henhouses are filthy, and accessed by narrow openings that only a Small or smaller creature can easily pass through. The walls of the henhouses are rotten. Entering the henhouse causes several chickens to start squawking (automatically), causing other chickens (in the other henhouses) to start doing the same! Chuffy is reaching for a bird when he hears the sound of a large dog barking and growling!

Just quickly, does the dog see Chuffy automatically, or will he still have to perceive the goblin before he can attack? Either way... how did I miss a dog?!?! Oops. Sorry guys... maybe Chuffy will run (if the dog knows where he is) or maybe he'll do some stabbing (if he can catch the thing flat-footed).

Doesn't matter, Chuffy still gonna go BOOOM!

Dog was sleeping in the center hen house. The dog will have some significant bonuses on spotting where you are, based on all the clamor of the chickens... you can imagine that their noise woke him up.

Chuffy found a dog! Dog better not make ogre come out here...

Poog runs as quickly as his little feet carry him, trying to not make any noise.

Double Move

The HUGE dog runs up to the brave Poog, and tries to take a bite out of the chief.
Rotweiller bite!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 bite damage (PBS): 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Trip!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 The big dog grabs Poog by the leg, pulling him down to the ground. The dog licks his chops, clearing Poog's blood, and apparently likes it. He's got a look in his eyes like he'll be coming back for more!

Reta, Mogmurch, Chuffy, and Rita are up!

Uh oh, Chuffy done it now

Mogmurch, waiting for his companions to rush in to save the silly, puss filled goblin, hangs back a second.

Drink Shield Extract

Chuffy comes out of the hen house. He's pretty sure a smelly dog like that wouldn't be able to see such a sneaky goblin as he, but he nevertheless makes sure by taking the opposite side to the ailing Poog.

When in position, Chuffy stabs out with his dogslicer - almost as though it is what the weapon was made for.

Dogslicer, flank vs Dog (hopefully FF AC): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Dogslicer, incl. crit damage, sneak attack: 1d4 - 1 + 1d4 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (1) - 1 + (2, 4) = 8 -- 8 damage + 1 nonlethal? Or just 8 straight?

Gotta love the way I roll! Well, on the d20s anyway.

"Chuffy save Chief Poog! Poog is great Chief! Coming to Chuffy's rescue," the goblin fawns a little over his Chief-to-Be, hoping to deflect the blame for this incident, "But Chuffy not be seen. Silly hens not sleeping when they should be!"

Rita gasps as she sees the great Poog pulled down, then cackles in glee as Chuffy appears, knifing the beast in the back. Not wanting to get in the way of Mogmurch or Reta, she steps forward, quickly nocking a small arrow and letting fly.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Can't see the map, so only applying the -4 penalty for melee, at the moment.

Reta runs off after her chief, drawing her dogslicer and waving it wrecklessly over her own head. A few steps she stumbles, almost dropping the blade from her grasp, but luckily bobbles it enough times and reassumes her grasp before nearly decapitating herself.

Double Move, drawing dogslicer

[dice=Dogslicer, incl. crit damage, sneak attack]1d4-1+1d4-1+2d6 -- 8 damage + 1 nonlethal? Or just 8 straight?

just eight, since it all adds up together.

The goblins hear someone shouting from the house "Þegiðu hundur! Ekki láta mig koma þarna úti!" It sounds roughly female. Sort of.

They then hear a much more masculine voice bellowing out, "Fara bara út og sjá hvað er að gerast, Guffy. Eða senda Spike. Bara fá hundinn til að þegja!"

Chief Poog is up.

"Oh noes... Ogres yelling. Bad doggie!"

Poog stands up, hoping the dog doesn't bite him as he does, determined to make sure Chuffy gets an easier shot on the dog. He waves his sword menecingly, spitting out the command word to wreath it in flames.

Move action, provokes, please miss!

Once he is up he waggles his fingers and casts shield of faith on himself.

Tagline updated with current HP and AC

Of course, the dog does attack Chief Poog. Obviously, he doesn't respect the great chief!
Prone attack AOO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Poog is obviously blessed by Zarongel!

"Kill it Chuffy! Chief bless you with killing blow!"

"Chuffy try! What you think ogres talking about? Should we run?" Chuffy appears worries, but is secretly proud to have the future chief singling him out for his prowess.

Chuffy dogslicer vs Poochie, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 22
Dogslicer damage, sneak attack: 1d4 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (5, 1) = 8

"Why are goblins here? Are you trying to kill dead people too? Oh a dog. Can I pet it? It smells like chickens. Chickens are not pretty like ducks. Be safe little goblin that is covered in puss. And please don't attack me."

The dog falls to the ground, bleeding out after Chuffy stabs it.

The male voice bellows out, Fá út there og finna út hvað er að gerast, þú latur tík!"

The female voice, now whining, replies, "En, Pa !!! Fjandinn það, ég fer!"

The goblins see a HUGE ferret come slinking out of the door of the house, followed by a large humanaoid (HUGE and large to the goblins at least, medium in game terms). See their picture on the map

Chief Poog is up, followed by Spike

"Now is times we become legends!"

Poog pulls his wand of sound burst out and points it at the two emerging from the hut.

"No turning back now!"

Sonic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3 + DC13 Fort save or be stunned

DC 13 = 10+lvl 2 spell + 1 for minimum modifier required to cast the spell. If that is wrong, please feel free to make that DC higher! :) That is all I could find on the references about what the DC should be.

Ok... before your action simply fails (for a reason I am not going to say at this moment), Poog, I will give you until 17:00 CDT to find the problem, and correct it. The DC is correct, however.

Sorry! Forgot to step close enough... 5' step is all I needed, Burst and radius marked on map now...

Another quick rule... AE attacks are centered on a vertex not a square... I'll tweak the burst so that you can see what I mean. FYI - the corners are excluded.

Guffy save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Spike save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 (stunned!)

"Hvað er að gerast þarna úti? Ekki láta mig koma þarna úti!"

Spike is stunned...

Reta is up, then Guffy.

Reta runs ahead of her chief exclaiming happy as she trudges across the ground and nearly falls over, "Reta breathe fire! Reta breathe fire! Reta breathe fire! Reta breathe fire!" At the end of her movement, she can be seen grinding a substance between her teeth, then raise a cupped hand to her mouth as her skin flashes a tint of green lighter than it was before. A moment later, she rears her head back and vomits a gout of flame.

Move Action: 30' movement, to get into position to breathe fire
Standard Action: Breathe fire from the gourd, area marked on map

Damage(Breathe fire, DC 12 for 1/2): 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

...recover three of the gourds. He thinks that if a goblin were to eat one, it would work very much like a weak version of the dragon breath gourd that they used against Vorka. Breath 15' cone for 2d6, Ref12 for half

Guffy Ref: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Spike Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The female ogrekin who we shall refer to as Guffy moves up, and gripping her short-spear with two hands, lunges mightily at Reta.
Guffy Short-spear: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 piercing damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
The spear penetrates the goblin's defenses, and leaves a bloody wound bleeding out onto Reta's wedding dress as it retreats.

From within the chateau chanting can be heard, in the deep voice of "Pa".

Mogmurch, Chuffy, Rita are up, followed by Poog.

Chuffy creeps around the other side of the chicken coops, and hugs close to one of the walls. He just hopes that the chickens are already making enough noise that no-one can tell which chickens are squawking because of him.

Soon, Chuffy stick dagger in big, fat ogre hide. Tee hee.

Chuffy stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Moved to the south east side of the far east chicken coop.

Near panicked as she sees Reta get stuck big big, Rita gathers the tattered remnants of her goblin courage, drawing her dogslicer as she creeps closer to Guffy. Suddenly she lunges forward, and fire bursts forth from her mouth, enclosing the stupid weasel-thing and the dangerous ogre-thing.

Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 Reflex DC 12

Poog follows chuffy around the coop, but turns back towards the fight before he does. Hearing the voice of Pa Munchmeat, he realizes its time to bring the fire, and limit the number of baddies before him and his subchiefs get overwhelmed. He pulls out the wand of fireball as he goes around the corner and flicks a bead just past the corner of the main building.

Area of effect excludes all the goblins... Chuffy is on the outside corner, so doesn't have to make any saves.

Fire Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 4, 3) = 20 DC 16 Reflex save for half damage

"More big fire booms! BIG FIRE BOOMS!" He implores his companions.

Even if I were within the line of effect, the chicken coop (hard cover) probably blocks the effect anyway. Pretty sure fireball doesn't expand through solid objects.

That DC should be 14 (INT13 and 3rd level)
Guffy Ref: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Spike Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Guffy falls over, with a shocked look in her eye.
Minor mistake... she had a MW morningstar, but that would have just let her damage be higher, so no change needed/

The great big, cute, cuddly ferret attacks the nearest goblin, which happens to be Reta.
bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 bite damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 +bleed
confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
With a flurry of tooth and claw, a single bite lands... as Reta rips herself free, she realizes the bite wound is bleeding, profusely.

Reta and Mogmurch are up!

Silbeg, did you roll the Reflex save for my gourd fire, as well?

I don't mean be a pain... but didn't "Spike" also fail his reflex save? You've got him marked at 15 damage, but I think that should be 25. Unless the dude has fire resistance 10 or picked up improved evasion somewhere? Does Guffy look like a witch or wizard? Come to think of it, I don't want to know (ie. keep the surprise) but I just wanted to check.

Spike was stunned... He shouldn't even get a save if I understand it right... Loses his Dex modifier to ac and can't take actions... Which is part of the genius of sound burst... :)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Missed the gourd damage, sorry... of course, it is moot after the hellishly high roll on the fireball.

Stunned only has the following effects

A stunned creature drops everything held, can't take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any).

Note: Nothing there describes a penalty to REF saves. For sure, even an unconscious (or dead) person gets a reflex save... in those cases the DEX would be 0, or -5

Posting on Monday AM before coffee is HARD
Reta, Mogmurch, and Chuffy are up.

• Pa Munchmeat (8)

*GULP*

From the shadows, Chuffy pulls out his crossbow and whispers to his pet spider, "Poogie wouldn't even give Chuffy fire to set house alight with. Poogie want other gobbos to have fire. Chuffy love fire! Chuffy want to burn! Silly Reta and Rita and Mogmurch and Poogie get all the fun. Chuffy steal fire and then he burn! Burn them all!"

Stankrush doesn't reply or even move, he just continues to pray to his spider gods as he has done for all of this past week: flat on his back with all eight legs pointing to the heavens. Such a pious little spider, Chuffy thinks admiringly.

See previous stealth roll of 37. Modifier is +23 if you'd like to roll for me again.

Chuffy quietly looses a bolt at the emerging creature, whatever it may be.

Reta recoils from the vicious attacks she has received, swaying terribly and on the verge of collapse. Her gigantic head wobbles, rocking awkwardly on tiny shoulders. Happy the ferret is burned and crispy, she smiles briefly through the pain and giggles. In the brief moment of reprieve, she draws a small string of blazing red beads while she backs away from the hut.

"Move back," she whispers to Rita, as she steps away.

She readies to hurls the largest of these beads at the next threat which emerged front the hut, hoping to catch the creature in the explosion while keeping herself, and her friends out of it.

Move Action: back up to be next to Poog (for heals) *token not yet moved*
Drawing necklace of fireball as part of move action

Poog to busy casting spells... should have given fiery dogslicer to chuffy... Maybe still can...

Poog silently curses to himself, despite his glee that he has scorched the large blue longshanks and its ferret pet.

As the goblins ready themselves, a large humanoid steps out onto the roof of the west side of the building from a door on the upper level. As he looks down, he sees the fallen, burning forms of his daughter, and animal companion.

"Thá Svartálfarnir! Nú þú deyja og fara í pottinn minn!" he bellows! Then, Reta throws her fireball.(Pa Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19) After the fires diminish, he appears to be unharmed. Then Mogmurch throws his fiery bomb at the ogre, which appears to do next to nothing in damage.

"Þú eins og eldur, sem mikið? Spila með þetta!"
He then casts a spell, and a ball of fire appears on top of Mogmurch!
Mogmurch reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 The goblin alchemist is able to avoid the damage.

Rita, then the rest of the party

Note: Chuffy's readied action did not trigger because no creature exited that was within 30'

Poog squeals with delight when he sees the gigantic ogre come out of the dilapidated hut.

"OOOOHHHHHH Gonna get Pa Munchmeat now!"

He looks disappointed at the minimal effect the fire seems to be having.

what wrong zarongel? he not like your fire? Well we show him some respect then!

Hoping to give his companions a chance to get close without taking a beating, he skirts back around the chicken coop and switches hands back to the wand of sound burst, making sure he is close enough, and squeezing off a charge.

Sonic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6 DC13 Fort save or be stunned for 1 round

Please be stunned, please be stunned.... :)

Spellcraft check to identify the spell being cast: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Time to be bold, Chuffy, gulps the goblin. His ranged attacks are useless if he can't get close enough to be sneaking, and he knows it. If the goblins' fire isn't going to help, then they need another way to damage the ogre, Hope this guy doesn't speak goblin!

"Let's get him inside where we're not in the open - and he won't want his house to get burned down!" yells Chuffy before running across the field, up the ramp, through the (hopefully still open) door and hiding in the first place he can find.

Chuffy stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 -- The dice gods are having their revenge!

As he crouches behind whatever it is that he found (for some reason, I'm imagining it is a really old TV on wooden crates) he wonders to himself, Was there anything other than that ogre female and her ferret inside here?

Double move, stealth (free).

How exactly would one use the Flask of Hold Enemy Long Time?

Thanks for the reminder Rita! This is the prd reference. You have to pour it on something. I wonder if we can knock this guy on his butt and glue him to the ground? might be able to throw it and glue his feet to the ground... Mugmurch, don't forget you have the bead of force as well... here is the post where I handed them out, and the post above it is exactly what they are. Reta has a potion of cure mod, might be a good time to drink that...

That's the problem...there's no real rules for it in the Handbook beyond pouring it out and gluing things. I'd be happy to throw it to try to stick his ass in place. Poog is wise. :)

Bow in hand, Rita the brave walks to her right to get a clear shot, then fires at the ugly brute.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Move 6 squares left, Fire bow

@Chuffy - you are on the new map, inside the building. You see:
The floor of this filthy chamber is made of rough floorboards. Numerous gaps between them show a dark space below the building. A large pile of furs and straw is heaped to the south, and a huge trap door sits in the very center of the room. To the west, a single ill-fitting door hangs askew on a single hinge.

Pa Fort Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (Pa is not stunned!)
Unfortunately for Rita, she does not come close to hitting the ogre on the roof.

Still waiting on Mogmurch and Reta..

Chuffy creeps over to the door (he had enough movement to get to where I put him on the map) and peeks through the gap. Pa's upstairs, right? How dangerous could it be?

Stealth again, if appropriate: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Chuffy looks in, but does not see a way to get up to the top from the room that he can see.
