[PFS 4-01] Rise of the Goblin Guild (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

We'll assume Senketsu jumped back on Yurei and that those who were on the upper level of the room made it back down. If anyone who hasn't done so still wants to make a Perception check in the lab before moving on, go for it.

The party continues on, moving back into the main tunnel of the hideout to rejoin Binkilink. The putrid, musky smell of goblin still circulates through the air. Rats can be seen every few moments crawling along the rough stone walls and munching on bits of leftover filth and things that were edible perhaps years ago. Dark green moss grows along the corners of the tunnel and sewer water drips every now and then from the ceiling.

Arrange your tokens in the desired order as you head on to A5.

Senketsu nods at Erevan's suggestion and remounts Yurei, leading the wolf along the sewer tunnels to their next destination, humming softly to themselves as the voices begin to whisper once more. Shaking their head the Wayang whispers to Ekkie.

"What did Ekkie find in room? This one curious"

Sorry, I auto-make that perception check, so I'll share the findings with the others.

Erevan makes his way forward with the others, bearing the light source and looking around vigilantly.

Luthor takes a look around the room before he leaves to see if the sneaky golbins had hidden anything useful around the place.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

All hail the dicebot and it's 20s!

Once he's done searching around he follows the group to the next room.

== Back in the Laboratory ==

Examining the wall, Erevan discovers the following: Yarak has drawn his "strategic blueprint" in charcoal upon the east wall of the upper level. It's an extremely rudimentary pictorial map of Magnimar with fire and smoke pouring from the buildings, as well as numerous dead dogs, horses, and humanoids

Luthor finds a leftover vial of alchemist's fire upstairs.

== Currently ==

Ekkie responds to Senketsu's whisper.

As Senketsu and the others round the corner, they see a that a large stone channel bisects this dank chamber. Thick masonry pipes clutter the room, feeding into the channel or flowing across the ceiling. A stone walkway without a railing crosses the channel, but crude barbed caltrops litter the length of this bridge. The entire chamber is damp and moldy, and the faint sound of dripping water resonates softly through the area.

Perception (goblin): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Perception (goblin): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Perception (goblin): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

At least one of the goblins notices you, and alerts the others, "Longshanks!!! In sewer!! Kill them!!"

The goblin bard in the middle immediately begins playing a song,

♫ Here come the longshanks,
Fast as can be,
Watch em all die;
Kill them with glee! ♫

As long as you can hear his song, -1 to the party's attack and damage rolls, and a -1 penalty to saves vs fear/charm

If someone could bot Rogar's actions this round, please go ahead. I would do it myself, but in the interest of fairness, I prefer players botting other players rather than GM botting. I'll give you guys a chance to do so and I'll only bot his actions myself if no one else does over the next few hours.

Seeing how their cover was blown Rogar moves out shooting at the singing goblin with his bow...

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 1 = 25 -> Damage roll: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8

Move take out the bow while moving and shoot at the singing goblin

Rogar moves ahead while pulling out his shortbow. He pulls back an arrow, which flies across the channel of filthy water much like a bolt of lightning, landing in the singing goblin's leg. Blood pours out of the wound as he braces himself. 8 damage to the bard

Ekkie jumps out of Senketsu's pack again. She runs ahead and starts yelling at the bard, "Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!!!"

The bard speaks, "Welcome, longshanks. I am Versevosh. I pity you fools to have come into this place. Don't you know you are far too late? This city will be ours! I already have everyone in Magnimar thinking I'm a harmless gnome!" He throws his head back and cackles.

He points his fingers towards Rogar and begins mouthing something. Cause Fear. Rogar, can I get a Will save? Will DC 12 to only be shaken for 1 round. Otherwise, you'll become frightened. Include the -1 penalty due to his song

The bard continues his song after his spell is cast.

The red goblin draws its horsechopper.

Will save: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 1 = 11

Suddenly overcome with un natural fear Rogar runs away...

Luthor moves in just behind Rogar and tries to assess the dangers in the room. Seeing the caltrops on the bridge he decides to take an alternative route.

He moves to the side of the room and makes a running jump towards the far side of the room.

acrobatics to jump: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

He clears the gap with relative ease and grins at the goblins on the other side of the pipe. One of these days he'll fail one of these jump checks and end up in something bad for his health...

With a command, Senketsu urges Yurei to move into the room, avoiding the effect of caltrops on their friend the Wayang drops their lance and draws the longsword, leaping the gap to confront the terrible singer.

Yurei acrobatics to Jump: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 + 4 = 18

Then, the Cavalier swings out with the longsword at the singing goblin.

Single 50' move gets to just in front of the bard, I can't access the map to move tight now. Then Senketsu attackd.

longsword: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 1 = 19 for damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Swiftly making the jump across the fetid foul smelling water, Yurei growls softly at the annoying loud creature that their master just struck with their blade. Barring their fangs the wolf bites at the goblins leg and attempts to pull its feet from underneath it.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 1 = 16 for damage: 1d6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 1 = 5
if that hits, then trip: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 2 = 16

You guys are just plowing through these goblins. You probably could have handled Subtier 4-5.
One thing to add: Acrobatics and Climb checks have their DCs increased by 2 in this area as the entire ground is slippery. That said, both Luthor and Yurei still easily made the check.

Cause Fear vs Rogar (rounds): 1d4 ⇒ 2 Rogar will be frightened for 2 rounds

Rogar suddenly becomes incredibly frightened of Versevosh, and turns to run.

Luthor makes yet another nimble jump across the polluted channel, landing neatly next to a pipe on the other side.

Yurei gracefully jumps across the nasty sewer water with Senketsu on his back. Senketsu swings at the bard with his longsword, which cleaves a gash in his side.

"Arrrghhhh!" The angry bard growls as Yurei grabs his leg deep in his fangs, knocking him flat on the ground.

Net: 1d20 ⇒ 16
The green goblin takes a 5 foot step and tosses a net at Senketsu, which lands directly on top of the wayang. The goblin smiles wickedly as he pulls the net tightly around him.

Meanwhile Rogar spends his time running away...

Erevan rushes into the room, takes a look at the chasm separating him from the goblins, and makes a running leap.

The agile swordsman flies over the nasty water and lands next to Senketsu.

"En garde!" he yells as his sword flies from its scabbard with a Shiinggg!

acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Knowing he probably wont make the jump, Mac Beth double moves up to the goblins.

I think my AC for the caltrops is 13. It would be 11+2 (for shoes, because I'm clearly not running around barefoot.)

You mean you wouldn't step into a filthy sewer with no shoes on? :)

Erevan makes an easy jump across the channel and lands next to Senketsu.

Caltrops: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Caltrops: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Amazingly, Mac Beth carefully tiptoes through the barbed caltrops placed along the bridge. On his way across, the red goblin strikes at him with his horsechopper.

AoO from red goblin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d8 ⇒ 3
Trip?: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Mac Beth is scraped by the crude goblin weapon, but manages to hop over the brunt of it.

Binkilink stands right in front of сaltrops and looks at them in indecision.

"Uh... I'll stand over here. If they decide to run... here... I'll stop them, you know."

Double move .)

Binkilink moves ahead and looks out for any fleeing goblins

Terrified, Rogar runs back out towards the main tunnel. I moved your token. Basically, you ran until you couldn't see nor hear the singing goblin anymore.

Covered in blood and lying on the sticky, disgusting ground, the arrogant Versevosh mutters, "Even if you defeat me, the plans are already in motion. The Pathfinder Society will have every Magnimarian gang at their necks!" In a last ditch effort, he struggles to pull out a short sword and swings it at the entangled Senketsu.

Short sword: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Even though Senketsu's stuck in a net, Versevosh's aim is way off, and the sword misses by a wide margin.

The red goblin attempts to Bull Rush Mac Beth into the filthy sewer water. Weapon isn't yet drawn, so no AoO
Bull Rush: 1d20 ⇒ 16
He rushes head on into the Bloodrager and knocks him directly in the abdomen, sending him flying five feet and into the brown water. Ugh, the smell...

Mac Beth - Can I get a Fort save vs disease? The water is 10 feet deep. There are handholds cut into the sides of the channel to assist in climbing out, although the DC is +2 because of the slippery walls.

Luthor moves around the pipe while readying his scimitar. He focuses some of his arcane energy in to the blade then strikes out at the nearest goblin.

Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Entangled in the net and seeing no easy way to free themself, Senketsu decides to be rid of the terribly singing goblin before it causes any more trouble for their friends. Raising their longsword, wrapped in netting the Wayang strikes.

attack, entangled, singing, prone bonus: 1d20 + 5 - 1 - 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 10 for damage: 1d6 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8

Their rider flailing upon their back against a strange rope creation, Yurei continues to try and end the awful noise coming from the goblin lying at the wolf's feet.

bite, singing, prone: 1d20 + 3 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 1 + 4 = 15 for damage: 1d6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 1 = 3

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Mac Beth finds himself in the sludge. "Probably shouldn't get any of this stuff in my mouth."

Luthor strikes at the green goblin, but his sword instead hits the nearby metal pipe with a loud clang, sending sparks flying.

Senketsu is unable to land a strike on prone Versevosh while tangled in his net. Yurei's bite gets a piece of the singing goblin's cloth cloak as he twists out of the way in time to avoid it.

The green goblin drops the trailing rope on Senketsu's net (still entangled, but your movement is not restricted to a certain area) and draws its horsechopper. It takes a five foot step and swings at Luthor, but the awkwardly shaped blade hits the ground instead.
Horsechopper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Mac Beth easily keeps his head above water and avoids getting any filth in his mouth.

Erevan, now close to the goblins, slashes at the one harassing Senketsu.

"Take that, swine!" he yells as he slashes at it with his elegant blade.

MW Dueling Sword (cold iron): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d8 ⇒ 4

Mac Beth attempts to climb out.

climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

And that happens...

Meanwhile Rogar keeps running while screaming"A singing goblin! Why did it have to be a singing goblinnnn!!!"

Erevan's death blow carves a long, wide gash across Versevosh's torso, exposing his innards and spraying blood all over the place. His singing turns into a blood-curdling death cry, and he stops struggling as he slumps over, dead.

Mac Beth attempts to climb out of the sewer water but slips and slides back in.
Fort Save again for next round. Unfortunately, the climb is DC 10 and +2 due to the slippery wall, so DC 12. On the other hand, the disease you may get is irrelevant for now, like most diseases in PFS. Someone could alternatively help you out.

"I don't like these things" - says Binkilink thoughtfully looking at сaltrops.

After that, he walks to the edge of the pit and suddenly makes a very graceful flip, relaxed landing on the other side.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"Hey Northern Warrior, what are you there at the bottom found? Come join us, this is more fun!"

move actions only )

Binkilink makes a graceful flip over the channel and lands nimbly on the opposite side.

Although the singing goblin is dead, Rogar is still scared out of his mind. He runs aimlessly around the main tunnel.

The red goblin tries to lash at the entagled Senketsu with his horsechopper.
Horsechopper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d8 ⇒ 4

Much to the goblin's dismay, he brings his weapon down too hard and smashes the blade on the ground, breaking the weapon cleanly in half.

Seeing their opportunity as their opponent's weapons shatters on the ground, Senketsu urges Yurei forwards, still wrapped in the encumbering net, the Wayang strikes out with their drawn longsword to attack the Goblin.

5' step to red, cant move token right now.

longsword: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 4 = 4 for damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Yurei bites out at the same goblin as their master.

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 and trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

I just realized Rogar could add an extra +2 to the above roll due to bravery and he would have passed the check... That's what you get for not even considering having such an ability... XD

Luthor focuses on his movements and starts to perform his Sarenrae dervish dance. He steps forward and and slices out at the goblin mid spin.

scimitar attack, dervish: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23 scimtar damage. dervish: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Senketsu strikes his longword towards the red goblin, but his arm gets tangled up in the net and the weapon fails to connect.

Yurei's fangs bite only air as the nimble goblin quickly moves out of the way.

Luthor spins on his feet with his scimitar extended. The sharp blade connects with the goblin's neck and its head is sent rolling.

Rogar - oops! Well, as of now, you're no longer frightened anyway :)

Splash! Back in the water.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Mac Beth attempts again to climb out of the water.

climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

AAAARRRRRHHHHH!

Another Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20.... oh course....

Erevan looks with only some concern at Mac Beth in the filthy sewage below, but spins to flank the blue-clad goblin with Luthor. He swings his blade with an easy, fluid motion.

I think blue might have just been killed but is still on the map? If so, I can make it behind red to flank.

MW Dueling Sword (cold iron), flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 181d8 ⇒ 6

Sorry, I forgot to update the map. Blue is dead, so I'll instead use your attack vs. red

Mac Beth struggles against the slow-moving sewer water, but can't get a grip on the wall.

Erevan dashes over to the the red goblin and spins to flank it. His dueling sword slides through the goblin's back like a knife through butter, killing it instantly.

Combat over

Frustrated that he didn't get to see any of the action, Mac Beth gets a firm grip and pulls himself out of the water.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

"Let's pretend none of that just happened and move forward, shall we?"

Mac Beth then scans the room for goodies or oddities.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Then he checks out the dead gobs for loot, clues, or other stuffs of concern.

"I promise i won't mention it in my report to the society Mac." says Luthor as he helps clean the man off with a little arcane magic. Prestidigitation

Because he doesn't want to miss the whole fight again, Binkilink rushes into the next corridor, to investigate.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Examining the bloody goblin corpses, Mac Beth finds the following:
vial of alchemist's fire (2), caltrops (2), potion of resist energy (fire), wand of cure light wounds (24 charges), mwk whip, brooch of shielding (40 points remaining)

Other than the items found on the corpses, nothing else of interest is found in the room.

Binkilink scouts ahead into the tunnel branching off to the west but does not notice anything aside from dead rats and moss.

Ekkie happily bounces back towards Senketsu.
"That was big scary boss.. The one who told Ekkie to steal shiny things and made fun of Ekkie's tribe..." She looks remorseful. "And longshanks killed him! Thank you!" She smiles.

Map updated. Once you're ready, you can go ahead and move your token as desired to continue on.

Struggling out of the net after a moment, Senketsu recollects their dropped lance and remounts Yurei once their companions are ready to move on with a nod.

"This one is happy to do this one's best, little Ekkie. Boss dead allies, what next, we press on or leave?"

"This goblin had a healing wand. If anyone wants any healing this will come in handy. Does anyone mind if i take it for now?"

Once the loot has been divided up Luthor follows Binkilink but keeps his distance while the Gnome is scouting ahead.

Gnome consistently stay ahead in the shadows. He tries to reconnoiter the situation.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

"Some healing would be nice, thank you!" says Rogar to Luthor before moving forward (and hoping against hope no one noticed his shameful display...)

"Not a problem my friend." says Luthor as he uses the wand on Rogar

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Mac Beth takes the vials of alchemist's fire, the caltrops, the potion of resist energy (fire), and the brooch of shielding. "How did a goblin in a sewer have all of this fancy stuff? Well, it's ours now."

He pins on the brooch to his clothes, pocketing the items no one else wants.

"Did you say healing? Yes, please."

"Let's keep going. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. That brown water... It didn't sit well with me."

After looting the goblin corpses clean, the party advances down a short tunnel that extends to the north and opens up into a longer tunnel running from east to west.

As Binkilink and Rogar advance into the tunnel, they notice the room to their left A6. The room stinks of feces, urine, and unwashed animal fur. Gnawed bones, rotting chunks of meat, and filthy piles of rags litter the area. It seems the gated door to this room has been pushed open, perhaps by a fleeing goblin. The growling of two vicious dogs can be heard. It seems they've picked up on the smell of a potential ... dinner.

Ekkie runs ahead, and pleads with you, "Please do not hurt them! Please!!! They Plarg's and Ekkie's friends.. If you put them to sleep, dogs will let you pass!"

I'd moved Mac Beth, Luthor, Erevan, and Senketsu to a position closer to Rogar and Binkilink. You may move your token to a different initial first spot because of this, it just has to be somewhere behind Rogar/Binkilink
