Poog moves around the south side of the main cabin. "Who coming with Poog?"
Reta keeps her sword out and follows behind Poog and whispers, "Sneak sneak, no sound."
Chuffy sneaks his way around the other side.
"Right. Sneaking."
There appears to be little difference between Poog sneaking and Poog walking causally.
While most of the goblins sneak and hide behind the walls of the cabin, Poog simply walks through the door, hoping that whatever is in there doesn't notice. To his horror, "whatever is in there" is two scary, hungry dogs, prepared to tear the flesh from his little goblin skeleton - unless he kills them first. For the glory of Zarongel, of course!
Round 1
Poog
Mogmurch
Reta
Scabtongue & Tickletooth
Chuffy
Poog releases a fiery bolt at the closest dog and then bravely retreats behind Reta and Mogmurch.
"Take that! Nasty dog! Reta, you up."
Once Poog is out of the way, Reta charges the dog, almost frothing at the mouth more than the slavering beasts.
"Pain!" she yells, "Pain! Pain!"
Poog fires a bolt of fire at Scabtongue, whose fur neatly burns away as it sears its flesh. The dog whimpers on the ground, shrieking one last time when Reta comes and sticks her dogslicer in it. The sword stays true to its name as it slices the dog in half, letting all its smelly canine innards out. Reta finds this funny. Howling in horror for its friend, Tickletooth leaps at Reta, trying to sink his fangs into her but barely managing to tickle her with his mouth's hair.

Chuffy (Round 1)
Brave Reta!" Poog says. [b]Zarongel pleased!"
With the dog's attention apparently set on Reta, Poog reenters the room and tries to cut the dog.
"Here I come to save the day!"
Chuffy bravely moves into flank position and attempts to gank the dog.
While Chuffy wonders whether or not he ought to be dealing lethal or non-lethal damage with his dogslicer, Poog and Mogmurch gut the dog. You are now in the central cabin of the wreck with two corpses of dogs. Where do you go?
"Maybe we go out back? Climb to top of treehouse?"
"Treehouse!" Reta yells.
She begins to head that way.
Chuffy covers Reta with his crossbow, ready to shoot anything that might try and attack her.
"I've got you covered, mighty Reta!"
Like a Monkey Goblin, Reta hops from rope to mast and makes her way up to the top of the wreck. Two rickety wooden platforms—crow’s nests—sit on the masts, ten feet above the ship’s deck below. Each is linked by
a pair of thick ropes, and additional ropes hang down from the platform on the stern-most mast to the deck. On the crow's nest Reta finds a masterwork sling and a dozen sling stones.
You cross to the other crow's nest via the ropes. The central platform contains two vials of alchemist’s fire, a half-finished bottle of grog, and three Desnan candles.
Poog climbs into the tree house after Reta.
"See anything fun?"
Reta snatches what her goblin mind finds most pleasing and makes her way over to the other set of rigging with Poog.
"Fun! And even more fun! Glasses of fire! This best day in history of goblins!"
Chuffy maintains underwatch, ready to shoot anything that might threaten his goblin pals.
"oh Mighty Reta! Humble Chuffy good at throwin' things, and has no fire magic. Can haz fire glasses please?"
"Poog like fire," Poog says, "But Zargonel provide Poog with fire in soul!"
He climbs back down to the deck.
This room is a blood-splattered chamber of horror. Dead rodents, snakes, and birds have been variously nailed, tied, and hung around the walls. At the far end of the room, a large cauldron bubbles over an iron stove set against the aft wall, its stovepipe chimney extending up through the ceiling. A bloody burlap sack sits on the floor next to the stove. The center of the room contains a long, rickety table surrounded by chairs that contain several grisly decorations—a whole family of skeletal goblins, their bones bleached white and bound together by reeds and twine. Also kept in this room is a hulking, rheumy-eyed, lumbering cur bigger than most goblins, and he's hungry to see you.

Poog is up!
Poog moves behind Reta and prays to Zargonel.
"Zargonel! Great and mighty! Help Reta kill dog!"
Divine Favor is a personal spell. Are you casting it on yourself?
Poog prays to Zarongel for a blessing, but that doesn't protect him from the hungry dog coming to bite at him. The cur's teeth grab Poog by the leg, causing goblin blood to gush out , before the dog tries to knock Poog down, but loses his footing and nearly trips himself in the process.

Goblins are up!
Chuffy takes the long way around to get to flank with Poog, trying not to laugh out loud at Poog's injury. He then lashes out with his aptly named dogslicer...
"He looks tasty! Kill fast, Reta, then we roast it."
"Aaaaargh!" Poog shouts as the dog nearly tears off his leg. "This--this Poog's chance!"
Poog hobbles back and into the wall after slashing the mean, stupid dog.
"Reta not lose minion!"
She steps in between Poog and Cuddles and delivers a slash.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Poog retaliates with a precise Dogslicer strike while Chuffy stabs the dog with his own, but the combined assault is not enough to bring the enemy down as Reta and Mogmurch both miss their attacks. Cuddles tries to take another chunk off of Poog, but the goblin easily shakes him off.

Party is up!
"Gank & Shank!"
Poog steps to the side and pulls out a wand, which he then uses to heal himself. "Poog must stay safe. Poog most important."
Chuffy and Reta's combined offensive is enough to finish off Vorka's favourite pet. Searching the room, you do not find much of interest except inside the bloody burlap sack - a goblin body missing its left arm and heart, its face the signature branded visage of the traitorous Scribbleface. This leaves you with only one room to explore .
The air in this cabin is thick and close, stinking of swamp and sweat, with a thick, glistening layer of mud on the floor and swaths of oily fungus clinging to the walls. Even more dangling decorations of goblin bone and animal-part fetishes hang from the ceiling on lengths of sinew here, and what appears to be a nest made of rags, sticks, mud, and castoff bits of clothing lies against the westernmost wall. But scattered amid the filth and clutter are several exotic-looking man-made objects—including a tantalizing red chest. From her bed across the room leaps a wide-mouthed goblin, clad in rags and bits of stained cloth and sporting a grin of mismatched teeth. Alongside her leaps forth a large frog, its low rumbling croak signalling hunger and excitement.
"Vorka know Licktoads killed dogs! Vorka kill them and eat, yum yum!"

It's Goblin time!
Chuffy charges forward, attempting to catch the vile Vorka flatfooted.
Poog summons a ball of fire and throws it at the giant toad. Then he hides behind Reta.
Reta cackles while brandishing her dogslicer. She flies toward the giant toad, intending to end the creature quickly.
"Licktoads sing songs about us forever when we bring back Vorka's head!"
Chuffy scuttles forward, taking the cannibal by surprise and dealing a moderate wound. Poog follows with a well placed bolt of fire, which is complemented by Mogmurch's exploding bomb while Reta takes a good chunk out of Vorka's companion. Shocked and severely wounded, Vorka screams at Chuffy as she lashes out at him with her scimitar, but misses due to the pain. The frog succeeds where the goblin doesn't as he bites at Reta .
"Ugly-face will taste very good in sea water stew, mmm!"

Go go Goblins, one more vicious round like that one and we're done!
Poog moves to Reta and whacks her on the back of the head with a bone wand. "No get eaten!"
