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

Game Master GM Red

Let's just say it was a very large waterskin

Mac Beth douses the fire as Binkilink closes the distance between he and the bugbear.

Ekkie

Remember, you can still intimidate or use diplomacy on Ekkie to dissuade her from listening to Inoklar as a free action - I'll consider it pre-combat.

Erevan, blade drawn, follows Mac Beth into the room.

"Follow my lead and this will be a cake walk," the swordsman says.

Using Advice, which is "identical to bardic performance (using oratory), allowing him to inspire courage at 1st level as a bard of the sensei’s level. So everyone has +1 atk and +1 dmg. DON'T FORGET!

I wanted to wait until my turn. So before combat:

Senketsu turns to their goblin friend and gives her a reassuring smile,deciding they do not want to harm their new ally the cavlier speaks calmly.

"Friend Ekkie, this one does not wish to come to blows with new friend. Please stay out of this and your old taskmaster will pay."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Then pointing at the bugbear, Senketsu lays down a challenge to the large brute , and kicks Yurei into action, spurring their companion into a mighty dash, the cavalier lets the wind rush through their hair and thrusts their lance at the Bugbear. As they do, the ancestors whisper in Senketsu's mind, guiding their hand.

Challenge, Inspiring Rush (+1 attack and damage on charge, to me and allies), if the goblins have melee weapons drawn they get an attack of opportunity before i get into flanking

Charge, power attack, Inspire, challenge, IR, WHisper: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 13 for damage: 2d6 + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 26

reroll that with Tshirt

Charge, power attack, Inspire, challenge, IR, WHisper, reroll: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15 for damage: 2d6 + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 31

Luthor follows the others into the room with his scimitar at the ready.

I guess a fight was inevitable here

Just a double move for me down the same side as my gnomish ally.

@Senketsu What an attack. The two goblins didn't have their weapons drawn, but the bugbear has a reach weapon out, so you'll get an AoO in that regard. Can I get a Reflex Save DC 15, failing it will result in the equivalent of a tanglefoot bag.

While conflict explodes around him Rogar advances again searching to confront the bugbear directly...

Double move again

Ekkie smiles at Senketsu. "You treat Ekkie nice, now Ekkie do the same for you. Good thing other jerk didn't try talk to me!" She looks in Rogar's direction, then bounces outside of the room to watch the fight.

Senketsu and Yurei charge down the throne room, its lance drawn. As it approaches the giant bugbear, the flagstone in front of the throne collapses.
Reflex save (Senketsu): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
A glob of alchemical glue shoots out onto Yurei's paws, stopping the wolf in his tracks.
This actually worked out better - no AoO!

Luthor and Rogar move ahead closer to the bugbear, while Erevan begins a performance.

Seeing Yurei and Senketsu glued to the ground, the red goblin draws its dogslicer and slashes at the wayang.
Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d4 ⇒ 4

The green goblin does the same.
Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d4 ⇒ 4

Even with Yurei glued to the floor, Senketsu is able to dodge out of the way.

Holding her two-handed horsechopper up in front of her, Inoklar begins shouting and moving in a terrifying way, her breath and anger filling up the room.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Dazzling Display feat. Everyone within 30 feet is affected, unless you pass the DC, which is 10 + your hit dice + your WIS.
Luthor (DC 12), Rogar (DC 15), Binkilink (DC 11), Senketsu (DC 10)
Calculated from your profile, please let me know if this off.

Luthor, Rogar, Binkilink, and Senketsu suddenly cower in fear.
Luthor and Rogar are shaken for two rounds, Senketsu and Binkilink are shaken for three rounds

Luthor, Erevan, Senketsu

Luthor moves from behind the pillar as the bugbear swings their weapon around menacingly. He circles the enmy as he feels the fear slowing his reactions, but tries to focus his rage into driving the fear away. Starting urban bloodrage for +4 to dex.

"You cannot win here foul creature. You even had the chance to surrender, now face the wrath of the Pathfinders! he says as he swipes his scimitar at the enemy.

attack roll, inspire, rage, shaken: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 19

damage roll, inspire, rage, shaken: 1d6 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 5

Remember my Advice gives everyone a +1 atk/+1 dmg!

Erevan moves into position behind one of the goblins so that Senketsu can more easily attack.

"All too easy!"

I remembered - though i hope to get some dancing going for next round which overwrites it with +2 atk/+2 dmg. Atleast your bonus works for the group - i'm a selfish type bard ;)

Rogar, while impressed with the bugbear's display, marches forwad ready to strike it down.

[b]"Weeeel.... that WAS impressive, let's see if I can do any better..."[/ooc]

Attack roll: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 27 -> Damage roll: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 20

Binkilink makes a small substep. Scared to shiver after bugbear's creepy show, he still finds the strength to strike with his daggers.

1 dagger: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 31d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
2 dagger: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 - 2 = 111d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Mac Beth moves up to hellfire strike the red gob.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 + 1 = 17
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Dropping their lance to the ground, Senketsu draws the longsword sheathed across their back and brings it down on the red eyed goblin, making use of Erevan's distraction and advice.

Longsword, flank, shaken: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 11 for damage: 1d6 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 2 = 4

The red goblin is able to duck out of the way in time, avoiding Mac Beth's strike.

With Matrix-like precision, the green goblin contorts its body to avoid each swing of Binkilink's daggers.

Erevan moves to setup a flank, and Senketsu takes advantage of it, but the red-eyed goblin is again able to dodge the swing of the longsword.

As Luthor swings around Inoklar, she swings her horsechopper at him.
AoO (mwk horsechopper, Scent of Fear): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 261d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
The blade connects and cuts Luthor across the shoulder. 8 damage
Luthor retaliates with his own swing, which cuts Inoklar's arm. "PUNY HUMAN! You'll PAY for that!" 5 damage

Next round
1d2 ⇒ 2
The red-eyed goblin strikes at Mac Beth..
Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d4 ⇒ 3
.. and the green-eyed goblin strike at Senketsu again with their dogslicers
Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d4 ⇒ 3
Their aim is awful today, and both strikes miss the brave warriors.

Rogar lets loose a vicious strike on Inoklar, cutting a deep gash through her armor and across her chest and spraying blood everywhere. "UGGHHHH" She doubles over in pain, but remains standing. 20 damage, nice one

1 Luthor 2 Rogar 3 Senketsu 4 Binkilink: 1d4 ⇒ 4
"Hahaha... Now I've got you." Inoklar five foot steps and lashes her horsechopper at Binkilink.
Attack (mwk horsechopper, Scent of Fear): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 181d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
The strike is almost powerful enough to send the gnome sleeping. 11 damage

Erevan moves with practiced agility, and swings his dueling sword in a quick arc at the goblin dressed in red.

"Haha! You are no match for me!"

MW Dueling Sword (cold iron)(flank, advise): 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 181d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Luthor continues to focus his anger while simultaneously focusing his arcane power into his scimitar. He starts his Seranrae battle dance and then steps in and strikes at the Bugbear.

attack roll, dance, rage, shaken: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 12

damage roll, dance, rage, arcane strike: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13

I'm guessing thats going to miss so i'll use my shirt re-roll with my single GM star.

attack roll, dance, rage, shaken, star: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 13

Urgh...

"And it... all... what you got? Ha... My grandma hits harder..." - groans the wounded gnome and continues to try to cut the goblin which is next.

Dagger 1: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 91d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Dagger 2: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 71d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

WTF!! )

Senketsu once more strikes out with their longsword, aiming for the creature with Red eyes once again.

If red is down, I will attack green

longsword,flank, shaken, advise: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 12 for damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 3

Binkilink strikes at the green goblin but again fails to connect his daggers with its flesh.

With a masterful slice of his dueling sword, Erevan sends the red-eyed goblin's head rolling towards Ekkie. "HEHEHE! Bad goblin lose head! See, Plarg?? This what you used to look like!" She holds the goblin skull out towards the goblin head.

Luthor strikes at the vicious bugbear, but his swing merely cuts off a bit of her fur. She mockingly laughs at his attempt.

Senketsu's longsword catches some of the goblin's clothes, but fails to do any serious damage.

Mac Beth (3 damage)
Rogar, you can also post your action ahead of time as you've been doing so far

Mac Beth 5-foots between the gob and bug. Another hellfire strike on the gob.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 1 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Mac Beth's flaming weapon nearly hits the goblin's neck, but he dodges to the side just in the nick of time.

Next round
Anyone who was shaken for 2 rounds is no longer shaken

1 Mac Beth 2 Senketsu 3 Binkilink: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d4 ⇒ 4
The green-eyed goblin retaliates, swinging its crude blade at Mac Beth and again failing to connect.

Rogar nods at the bugbear and speaks somberly:"Time to go for you. Say goodbye!!!" and slashes with all of his strength at the hideous creature aiming for its neck

Attack roll: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 20 -> Damage roll: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 24

"UAUAAAGHHHHHHHHHH" The bugbear lets out a hideous, blood-curdling scream as Rogar's sword pierces through its jugular artery, splattering blood all over the Taldan's face. The sword continues through the rest of its neck like butter, and Rogar ends up with one gory pile of flesh, hair, and blood at his feet. The rest of Inoklar's body falls onto the throne, a fitting death indeed.

And with that, the leader of the Nightsoil Marauders is no more.

"NOOooooo... Master...!!" The green-eyed goblin shifts left and right, looking for an escape as it realizes it's now alone.

Ekkie looks on, wide-eyed and stunned, not saying a word.

Pretty much a free-for-all with that green goblin now...

If you want to finish off that goblin and then continue to explore the one remaining room (give me a perception check), we can wrap this up and ensure you've met all success conditions.

Erevan nimbly attempts to bypass the goblin's guard, getting behind him to cut off his escape. He then slashes at the creature with his dueling sword.

"We gave you a chance to surrender, cur! It is a chance I do not offer twice!"

acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

MW Dueling Sword (cold iron)(flank): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 191d8 ⇒ 6

perception for final room: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

The green-eyed goblin goes down as quickly as every other goblin in the lair did.

Ekkie runs over and helps pull Yurei's paws off the remaining alchemical glue, jumping back into Senketsu's pack.

Erevan leads the party to what must have been Inoklar's (the bugbear leader) bed chamber. A search of the room finds a large chest containing Inoklar's takings from the Nightsoil Marauders' operations, including emblems and tokens of rival crime organizations in Magnimar: a set of miniature scales carved from black onyx stolen from an inattentive Night Scale thief, several Varisian scarves and knives taken from Sczarni thugs, an ornamental star of Desna filched from one of the Gallowed, a broken klar that belonged to a Shoanti gang leader, and most importantly, a golden Aspis Consortium badge. At the bottom of the chest, well hidden from her superstitious goblin minions, are Inoklar's scrawled notes detailing her plans to take over.

How to create chaos in Magnimar
1. Set gangs against each other by slaughtering particular underworld figures and families.
2. Use pyromaniacal goblins to demand "fire insurance" protection money from businesses and stockpile enough incendiaries to start a widespread fire to the city above! No organization will be safe! Hahaha!
3. The rival smuggling operations, Aspis Consortium and Pathfinder Society must be stopped. By getting the minions to steal trinkets from Heidmarch and place them in the lair of other gangs, then do the same with Heidmarch, we can get every criminal organization hating the Society. Hehehe..

--

The party exits the sewers with ease, Ekkie in tow. Heading back to the Manor, the party is greeted warmly by Sheila Heidmarch. After explaining what you'd found, Sheila is pleased. "You have done me, Magnimar, and the Pathfinder Society a great service, and I thank you for your deeds." She smiles humbly and bows. "Come now, I believe one of you was interested in a vacation here..."

Ekkie peeks out, "What about Ekkie?! What you do with me?!"

Interact as you see fit, or don't, :) Chronicles will follow this evening!

Senketsu helps Ekkie unstick the paws of their companion and the Wayang gives the curious goblin a thankful smile. Remounting their Wolf, Senketsu happily leaves the sewer and returns to the estates of Venture Captain Heidmarch, showing her the Golden Aspis badge found amongst the other curiousities.

"Aspis in Magnimar hmm? This one is concerned. As for little Ekkie, this one humbly requests that they go free as promised. Ekkie was very useful yes?"

Cheers GM and fellow players!

Rogar gives Ekkie a smile and speaks:"Why I believe we just delievered what we promised you. There's no more bing bad boss... You are now the sole leader of the nightsoil marauders Ekkie!" says the Taldan gleefully pointing the goblin towards the sewers.

"Good luck down there! You'll need it!" he adds.

Binkilink is clearly in pain and breathing heavily, but he smiles at the shadow man.

"Yes. Good Goblin. Let them live. That is, release her outside of town, and let she and Plarg go anywhere they want."

"Thank you for your help Ekkie. I think you more than made up for your earlier mistake!"
