Goblins Wreck Kingmaker (Inactive)

Game Master Whack-a-Rogue

Dys dances out of the way of the bug tail, cackling. Reloading the boomstick, she takes another shot at the monster bug, aiming straight down.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 5

Mogawg sighs. "Zombuggo, go bite the Godbug."
Zombuggo skitters to the edge and off of it, dropping into the chasm like Chompy and Scrabble did.
Mogawg casts another ghost strike half-heartedly.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
No spell point this time, so a failed save means fatigued another round, successful save means no effect at all.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

The GodBug shakes off Mogawg's magically-induced fatigue but is looking kind of injured. Still, it'll take more than that to defeat such a powerful creature. Its tail whips out at everything within its considerable reach.
Trip: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
That's targeting Dys, Mogawg, and Ser Helmut. If it connects, 50% chance to fall into the pit and take 2d6 damage (Acrobatics 15 can reduce this as normal).

GodBug: 36pts damage

"WE FEED THE TRIBE WITH SLICED UP BITS, FROM RUGNUT SONG GET ALL THE HITS"

Inspire Courage rd 4/5

Rugnut urges Breakfast forward and leaps down onto the bug, sword-first, to heroically turn the tide of the battle.

The tyrant lizard quickly follows after his nest-brother, leaping down without hesitation. Stunted arms flapping as he roars out, his teeth seek purchase around the chitinous armor of the enormous insect.

Whoops!: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Flailing and waving his arms in the air, Ser Helmut stays perched on the ledge; feet dangling.
Hey yous stupidest godbug! Mees was been cheering fer ya!

The little goblin then looks at his tribe.
Mees just be kiddings!

Chrompy gnashes and slams himself against the beast, hoping for it to die soon!

Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10

Yikes! Are we taking any damage from the tail hit itself?
Fall?: 1d100 ⇒ 16
DC 15 Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Using Acrobatics to reduce the damage of a fall is only normal for when you deliberately jump down--since there was nothing deliberate about this on Mogawg's part, I would say I should take the full 2d6 rather than 1d6.
1d6 that I take either way: 1d6 ⇒ 5
1d6 additional if we agree it should apply: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Oh and I should roll Zombuggo's falling damage. I think you already addressed with Scrabble that there is no converting the first d6 to nonlethal because of a deliberate jump, due to the Godbug's carapace. And I can't imagine a zombie making an Acrobatics check, so it will take the full 2d6.
Zombuggo's falling damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

As the Godbug's tail comes whipping about, Mogawg finds himself pursuing Zombuggo in its descent into the chasm. "I told you it was too BIIIIIIIIIIG!!!" Famous last words...?

Zombuggo started with 11hp. I am almost certain that it took at least 1 point of damage at some point earlier, but my thread search-fu is weak. If it did, then these 10 points of damage finish it off.

Fall?: 1d100 ⇒ 6
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Fall damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

The laughter turns into a shriek as the bugtail sweeps Dys' legs from under her and sends the goblin tumbling into the pit. Painfully.

Activating Advantageous Distraction for the next turn, for +2 dodge bonus to AC.

Rugnut Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Breakfast Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Whether through GodBug tail or deliberate jumping, everyone except Ser Helmut ends up at the bottom of the pit in a tangled heap. It's rather painful. Fortunately, it's completely worth it in the end, as by a combination of your last few attacks and the shock of your impacts, the GodBug has been vanquished! And judging by your condition, it happened not a moment too soon....

That was the last living creature in the Mite Lair. Except for the still-tied-up kobold that Rugnut found, of course. XD

Shineys
- GodBug Carapace (Can be incorporated into crafted armor to add the Jarring modification for free. Enough is present for six sets of Goblin-sized light armor or three sets of Goblin-sized medium armor)
- Cool Statue (mentioned in the upstairs room description but may have been overlooked amidst the chaos)

Ser Helmut rolls over and over laughing hysterically!
Fall?: 1d100 ⇒ 32

And the crying from laughing goblin promptly falls into the godbug chasm; painfully joining his tribe.
fall damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Billy Bob Thornton shrieks in triumph!

Rugnut joins in the laughter. "Rugnut think..heehee...we kill...haaah....biggest bug ever!"

After he calms down a bit, he leans back on the carapace and starts gazing at his fingers, ticking them down as if counting. "Tribe eats bug now for....forever!" That thought seems to spark something though. "If room in tribe of Not Knowing for Rugnut and Breakfast?"

Chompy gnashes a bit on the big bug even after it stops moving before finally looking around to notice that not all the Goblin tribe is standing. He titters a bit before he begins picking up and checking to see if Mogwag and Scrabble is dead. A few aggressive pokes and he hears a slight moan of pain and he seems pleased/disappointed.

He nods sagely "All of Not Knowing tribe lives. We have killed many enemies together, but we require sacrifice to be made to come into tribe! Let us kill the baby dragon from earlier and we will join our new Goblins to tribe yes?" he asked curiously.

He grabbed Scrabble and hefted him noto his back before attempting to sink his claws in the wall and climb back out.

Climb?: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Survival to start harvesting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Mogawg channels positive energy to heal the gobbos. 10 hp, nice! Channel pool goes down to 3/7, although that's about to bump to 4/8 with the level up.

Rugnut thinks for a very, very long time (about 4 seconds) on sacrificing his baby dragon to join the tribe and sighs contentedly when Mogawg channels. "Yes, we do that. Been long time since Rugnut have tribe to sing at."

"We are da greatestest!" shouts Dys as she scrambles to her feet, using the boomstick as a crutch. "Godbug is dead! Best goblin tribe!"

She then proceeds to start digging into the carcass with her dogslicer, looking to get back the metal rocks she shot at it, but also to see if there is anything else interesting lying around in there.

Heal for harvesting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Scrabble wakes up as Mogawg's healing energies washed over him, bouncing on Chompy's shoulder. In a lithe twist he turned himself and rode the kobold like a lanky backpack.

"First mees ride Godbug, now mees ride dagron!" he exclaimed.

His eyes weren't all the way focused yet and his speech slurred a bit.

Ser Helmut proudly stands up. The wizard waves his hand over himself, cleaning dirt, guts, and blood away. The little green goblin then smiles.
Wees be of Tribe of Not Knowing! Wees be bestest gobbos wit makings of a hoard! Mees tink'n dat yous can be second knight!

The big-helmeted goblin helps with collecting anything interesting. He cast Detect Magic looking around the godbug's lair.

"Rugnut not even spend one night in tribe yet, wat you talk about?"

Completely ignoring the other knight's protests, the smiling and proud little goblin approaches the other knight.
mees, Ser Helmut--Knight of Tribe of Not Knowing--do be dubbings yous da same!

Squawk!, comes a shriek from the bird-lizard.

Ser Helmut looks around for a moment, reaches down for a stick, and strikes the other knight on his shoulders.

Squawk!

Mees no uses of swords!

The helmeted goblin grins.

Rugnut brushes the stick off with disgust. "You mean like big metal longshanks? Ew, no. Rugnut not knight, Rugnut kill knights."

Ser Helmut claps and dances!
Mees toos!

Billy Bob Thornton sighs.

GodBug chitin has been harvested. I'm unsure how you're going to be carrying it around, though. XD Other than that, you've managed to loot everything. Once your black dragon prisoner's been dealt with, you're free to do whatever your chaotic little hearts desire.

Chompy crests the top of the cliff with a now awake Goblin swinging madly upon his back. He shakes Scrabble off and looks around at the devastation they have wrought.

"We Not Knowing tribe should be proud. We has done much destruction today and vanquished many foes. We shall cut up parts of GodBug to bring up here and sacrifice the baby dragon over the food so that we may be empowered for future battles....WE FEAST!!!!" Chompy declares as he goes about getting what he needs to make a big fire in the larger room of the place.

Once he has done so, he will gather up the helpless "dragon" and drag him in front of the fire pit, ready to make him and the god bug into food.

Craft Culinary: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Ser Helmut happily helps prepare the food, using Prestidigatation to make it spicy.

Rugnut looks at Breakfast, looks at the walls of the chasm, looks at Breakfast's arms, looks at the walls of the chasm, then points at the top of the wall and says Breakfast, climb!"

push DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Breakfast attempts to climb up the roots, stunted arms doing very little to assist him. Goblins also doing very little to assist him.

climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Rugnut frowns for effect but can't help breaking into a giggle fit at the sight.

Dys doubles over with laughter as the lizard scrabbles against the sheer wall and falls backwards.

She points at him and yells. "Breakfast, jump! Breakfast, roll! Ahahahahaha!"

She then starts scaling the side of the chasm to get to where he food will very soon be."

Climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Heeey! Need rope to climb!" Mogawg yells up from the bottom of the chasm.

He looks around to see if there is an easier way up.
Perception, take 10: 10 + 6 = 16

"Ooh! Good idea." Rugnut rummages about in his pack until he pulls out a length of hemp rope. He then engages in a short montage of attempts to get breakfast out of the chasm in a flurry of feathers, sweat, rope, Dys's cackling, and a preponderance of goblin swearing. It ends with a very disgruntled Breakfast lying down to rest and Rugnut plopping down, completely worn out for about 4 seconds before popping back up again and running up to the tied up kobold to poke it again.

Scrabble climbs up the chasm without any apparent effort, then fixes a grappling hook and tosses a rope down to the others in the hole.

Take 10 on Climb (climb speed 20)

Once the fire pit is assembled and the sacrifice has been secured properly, Chompy joins in with the group and starts lashing ropes to the chasm wall and prepares to figure out a way to haul things up. First, he demands that the slices of Godbug that are to be the main course that Dys and himself chopped off earlier be hauled up so he can get started on the cooking.

Once that is done, he will sanctify the feast with the baby dragon and make some lovely food. Once that is on the fire, he'll work with Rugnut, Breakfast, and Dys to begin the arduous task of segmenting the Godbug, lashing the pieces of carapace and meat together and hauling them up the sides.

Question to the party...how long will we laze about and feast on Godbug till we get bored and begin hauling the goods home?

Rugnut eagerly dives into the prep work and the other goblins notice that he's particularly helpful - surprisingly so. His longsword proves quite adept at slicing up the godbug.

If there are any skill checks that he can take 10 to assist with, Rugnut provides a +4 aid bonus

The young dinosaur proves to be quite uninterested in the ongoing feast, preferring to doze in the corner, occasionally belching. He steadfastly refuses to delve back into the chasm.

Dis be needings sum bacon!

At those words Chompy comes unglued "NO...NO NO NO...We were supposed to be hunting Large boar, not Godbug. Oh Chompy is so mad, we's were distracted by these evil Mytes and their baby dragons." he says angrily and begins stomping on one of the corpses.

"Relax, we can do both. Boar is not going anywhere, eh?"

Dys waves a clawed hand lazily at Chompy as the other stuffs some half-cooked godbug meat in her mouth.

"We be big goblin heroes, we's are. Dis godbug be threatenin' da whole area. Look how big it was! It would have dug its way out and killed lotsa things! But we killed it first!"

Mogawg dances around the fire, beating on his chest, to add to the mystical feel of their ritualistic dragon sacrifice and feast. As the sacrifice is completed, Mogawg looks at the now skeletal dead Godbug, calls up his dark powers, and reanimates it to unlife!

Reducing spell pool from 2/4 to 1/4 to reanimate the Godbug with the skeleton template. Its 4HD is the maximum HD that Mogawg can have reanimated.

"God-skele-bug! Rise!"

Charisma check to look impressive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Rugnut relaxes and picks at his teeth with his sword after the very impressive ritual and feast. "So you wanna kill boar and eat it? Where dis piggie? Is close to tribe home? You has tribe home? It big enough for Breakfast and skellybug?"

Happily munching on barbecue godbug, the little goblin absently feeds his bird-lizard.

Dere be bounties fer da boar. Stupidest longshanks gives shineys fer stuff!

Ser Helmut watches while Mogawg animates the skeletal godbug.
Dat bees soooo cool!

GODBUG LIVES!!!

Dys is impressed despite herself at the skellebug, but then quickly distracted by Rugnut's questions.

"We have da best home. Took it from da longshanks. Longshanks are our slaves now. Dey have deze pieces o' paper with slimy words on dem. Chompy reads da words, tells us we get shinies for killin' stuff. We get lotsa shinies, trade them for... for stuff. And we iz all equal and dere iz no chief!"

After this entirely accurate summary of the situation, she starts dragging various loot towards the exit from the caverns.

Rugnut considers. "Dis is good. Dis is strong tribe. And best tribe now Rugnut in it. So where dis piggie is we go kill?"

Rugnut goes and wakes up Breakfast and readies to leave.

Ser Helmut closes his eyes to sleep; his over stuffed belly bulging.

Rugnut gets up in the morning and has a quick meal of lukewarm bug guts, then exits the cave, helping to bring up any loot and bug parts that need to be brought up,then mounts up on Breakfast. He points in a random direction and asks "Okay, piggie dis way?"

Ser Helmut would point in the direction of that Longshanks camp by the river.

Waking up just before dawn, the little goblin takes his bird-lizard for a walk.

Returning an hour and 20 minutes later, the little goblin and Billy Bob Thornton join in breakfast.

Wees bees goings dat ways. He points in a random direction.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"No, piggie DIS way!" Dys shoots Ser Helmut a dirty glare for trying to order them around again.

The events of the previous day had been quite exciting, but Dys still has some manner of idea regarding which way to go for some wild bacon. Mmm, bacon.

"Dys?" Mogawg addresses her nicely. "Which way is our tribe home?"

Mogawg reanimates Skelegodbug again and commands it to run in that direction.

Mogawg looks around at the others. "What? I send him home so we can use him to guard our tribe home when we get back."

Up to you, GM, how far it gets...its speed is 40ft (and 40ft climb also), and I think it would be able to run tirelessly. I don't know how far the trading post is exactly, hopefully it can't get so far that it actually barrels through it...

GodBug has been added to the hex map. With only a 2hr duration, it's going to collapse well before reaching the trading post. On the bright side, though, it's unlikely that it'll be disturbed, so if you can track it down later, you should be able to reanimate it. XD

Dys remembers that the piggie lives somewhere in the forest, so it probably lives somewhere in the miles of trees you walked through to find the Myght lair. It's probably not near the moon radish patch, though. After all, everyone knows that piggies hate vegetables. The arrow on the hex map reveals the general direction you'll need to travel to find Tuskgutter. No distance or further specifics are given, however, as you haven't even seen his tracks yet. XD
