[PFS] We Be Goblins — GM Crucible (Gameday IV) (Inactive)

Game Master TomG

Chuffy wrinkles his nose at the bed smell Retus is leaving behind. When he spots the Living goblin still lying in bed, he enters the room asas fast as he can, dogslicer at the ready and hoping to rush her before she gets up. She probably woke from stinky Retus smell. He ruin everything!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Still trying to get out of Reta's shadow, but strangely tied to her almost as if they were siblings, Retus draws his fiery elixir and prepares to show her how a real goblin breathes fire.

Also drawing my elixir in the surprise round, will breathe it in the real round.

Draw (move; surprise), quaff (standard; round 1), breath (standard; round 2). ...

Also, elixir of firebreath

Seriously? Dang, these are not so action efficient, are they... in that case, in order to take advantage of the flatfootedness, can I recon?

Reta moves in, deciding to take out the frog first.

Surprise round: Move; Round 1: Attack with dogslicer (standard), draw elixer (move).

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

It lasts for an hour, so I think the intent is to prepare beforehand, much like mage armor and such. Yes, please retcon if you wish. (It's why I've waited to resolve.) I'll wrap up the round later this evening (~4+ hrs)

I'll go ahead and draw my elixir...4d6 sounds pretty tasty compared to normal attacks, and I can't reach her this round, anyway...

Reta moves in. Chuffy and Poog move in as well. Moggy downs a mutagen and Retus draws his elixir.

As everyone gets settled, Reta slices at the giant frog.

--COMBAT--
Poog
Reta
Moggy
Vorka
Frog (-5)
Retus
Chuffy
Those in bold may act.

"Fear Zarongel's burny flames!", Poog says as he steps forward and unleashes a burst of flame on the goblin and the frog.

Burninating Hands: 1d4 ⇒ 3DC 13 half

Felling the effects of his mutagen, Mogmurch runs into the room and tosses a bomb at Vorka.
Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
I'm posting from my phone and unable to move my mini. Could someone put me up against the wall 20 ft. from Vorka?

Frog, Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Vorka, Ref, -prone -flat-footed: 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 14

Vorka rises and shrieks. Her sharpened teeth fierce in the dim light from the doorway. "Attack them, Lord Longtongue," she calls.

The giant frog obliges, and bites at Reta.
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
bite, confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage, plus crit damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4) + 4 = 18
Ouch. Very much ouch.
Stabilization check, please.

Reta feints the wrong way and takes the full force of the bite. She drops to the ground bleeding, nearly bitten in half.

"You'll all die miserable, horrible little deaths," Vorka cackles. "Then I'll turn your bones into flatware. That one's skull will make a nice soup bowl, and her eyes a scrumptious soup!"

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy
Poog
Reta (-18) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-1)
Frog (-8)
Those in bold may act.

"We's the only ones allowed to make soup out of us!"

Moving away from the scary goblin, Poog puts his hand on Reta's massive head.

"Stop dying!"

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Ouch! Sorry, the following is for RP purposes only...and has been building ever since I took off my wedding veil.

Retus chuckles as Reta falls. "Retus get out of shadow of Reta now! Retus show he best goblin warrior!"

He drinks the elixir he has been holding and moves forward to engage the cannibal.

Zarongel is mighty, and Poog's spell heals many wounds, but Reta is still on the ground unconscious. But no longer dying.

"Gurgle..glug.." as blood spews.

Damn! That is one nasty frog!

"Uh oh. Time to bust outs the big booms!" says Mogmurch as he draws and chugs his own elixir from the chieftain.

Retus hustles in. This is his chance to claim glory!

Poog heals Reta, but not enough to wake her.

Mogmurch prepares future awesomeness.

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy
Poog
Reta (-12) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-1)
Frog (-8)
Just waiting on Chuffy.

"Eep!"

Chuffy lets out a high-pitched squeel when we watches thefrog bite Retus in half. He doesn't want to get in the way of Mogurch, though, so he stand he ground and stabs the frog.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

It is quickly evident that frontal attacks are not Chuffy's strongest skill. His swing goes wide in his fear.

Vorka stands on the bed and casts a spell.
Chuffy can take an AoO. After seeing his prowess, she's not worried. She has slightly higher ground from being on the bed.

The giant frog turns his attention to his next meal: Chuffy. He bites, and bites hard.
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
None of my characters have rolled this well for *weeks*. It's a shame to waste these rolls on bad guys!

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy (-6)
Poog
Reta (-12) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-1)
Frog (-8)
Goblins up!

Chuffy takes a dareful swing, but his heart doesn't seem in to it.

AoO

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

After being bitten, Chuffy takes a last stab at the goblin woman before retreating. "You... you...!" Words fail the poor goblin, clutching his wounded arm.

Regular attack for this round, then a 5' step.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Poog's action last round actually had to be draw the wand then cast CLW with that as I'd used my spell version earlier. Doesn't change much though. Also, my paladin who can't roll above a 12 is jealous of that frog.

While Poog would appreciate making his dogeslicer a frogslicer, he knows better after watching it munch on Chuffy and Reta. He backs away slowly, puts away his weapon, and sends a dart of fire at the amphibian.
Fire Bolt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 vs. touch AC.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

I know, right?! I have four different characters that can't seem to get above an 8 in any combat roll for weeks.

Chuffy successfully slices the frog, but the cut is weak as he steps away.

Poog's blast of fire also strikes true. The frog is moderately—but not seriously —wounded from the combined efforts so far.

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy (-6)
Poog
Reta (-12) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-1)
Frog (-11)
Those in bold may act.

haha - and here, I was thinking to take the frog out quickly... guess I misjudged that!

It's only been one (and a part) round so far. I think when Retus and Mogmurch join in there will be a fair bit of damage dealt. Dropping a main foe in two or three rounds is still pretty impressive.

And as you noticed, the frog is pretty formidable in melee.

Mogmurch gives a wicked grin before screaming "Here comes the Boom Boom!" He then belches forth a column of fire straight at Vorka.
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 2) = 14

Will someone bot Retus through Sunday, please?

Mogmurch breathes fire, but Vorka is able to doge the worst of the flames.
DC 13 Reflex for half...
Vorka, Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy (-6)
Poog
Reta (-12) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-8)
Frog (-11)
Those in bold may act.

Yeah, I can. Should be pretty easy since we're both just breathing fire.
Retus steps to the side for a better angle and shoots a second belch of fire at Vorka.
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 4) = 17

Vorka, Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Vorka nimbly dodges the second blast of fire, but it still hurts. She screams, something about how she'll roast you after she's killed you to enhance the flavor.

Vorka begins casting another spell. (This is a long casting.)

Lord Longtongue, excited by his success, steps forward and continues biting.
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Chuffy also drops, the frog's bite being more than he can handle.
That's -1 by my calculations. Stabilization check, please.

--COMBAT--
Retus
Chuffy (-12)
Poog
Reta (-12) (and -4 unhealed from previous battle?)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-14)
Frog (-11)
Those in bold may act.

Mogmurch and Retus both let rip another belch of fire at Vorka.
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 1) = 13

Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 3) = 11

Vorka, Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Vorka, Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Vorka burns from both blasts (-6, -11). She says something very unladylike as as her casting is disrupted by the first blast, then nothing at all as the second scorches her body. She falls to the bed, charred and smoking.
Concentration: 1d20 + 5 - 6 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 6 = 8
Concentration: 1d20 + 5 - 17 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 17 = -11

Lord Longtongue snaps at Retus. (AoO for Retus making a ranged attack while threatened.) That hurts!
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

--COMBAT--
Retus (-5)
Chuffy (-12, unconscious, bleeding)
Poog
Reta (-12, and -4 unhealed from previous battle?, unconscious, stabilized)
Mogmurch
Vorka (-33, down)
Frog (-11)
Those in bold may act.

Poog really doesn't want to be left alone with Lord Longtongue. He hits Chuffy with his wand.

EVERYBODY STOP DYING!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Chuffy is prone, but can act.

Chuffy comes back to consciousness with a start. He murmurs something, like in a dream, before realizing where he is. "Bright light, and horse meat everywhere. Chuffy horse slayer. ... Eep!" Spotting the toad next to him brings him back to his senses quick enough.

Chuffy scrambles back against the wooden pillar, fending off the frog while trying to stand up.

Stand up from prone, provoke AoO. If I'm still standing after that, I'll use Total Defense for a AC of 21 this round.

If it's okay with you, I'll have you Total Defense first (doesn't require that you be standing), then stand. As it happens, unfortunately, it ends up not mattering.

Chuffy waves his blade menacingly, trying desperately to keep the giant frog from biting him again.
frog bite (AoA): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
If my claculations are correct, Chuffy is at 1 hp, but standing.

The frog bites again at Chuffy, but misses.
frog bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

--COMBAT--
Retus (-5)
Chuffy (-10)
Poog
Reta (-12, and -4 unhealed from previous battle?, unconscious, stabilized)
Mogmurch
Frog (-11)
Your turn!

Poog lets off one more burst of fire at the frog.

Fire Bolt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Minus combat penalties

Mogmurch and Retus both turn on the frog and unleash their final belch.
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 4) = 16

Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 5) = 20

Chuffy's had about all he can take, being assaulted by the frog and feeling fire streak past him left and right. He feels his knees going weak and lets out a wail of despair. "Noooooo....Get away from Chuffyyyyyy!"

He can't seem to get away, though, stuck against the mast. He waves his dogslicer across his body as fast as he can, hoping it will ward off the toad from biting him. Again.

Total defense for AC 21. I think you've got this covered from a damage-perspective. :)

The frog looks like some sort of exotic cuisine, its legs fully cooked but some of its innards tartare. It gives one final croak before toppling over, dead.

Reta gurgles "Yeah!" and then slumps back into unconsciousness.

Poog considers leaving Reta unconscious, but then remembers the dog upstairs. If she's around, it's more likely to eat her. Apparently she's tasty.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

That is enough healing for Reta to wake. If she wants to. Maybe she thinks the floor is comfortable.

The fight concluded, there is a bit more time to look over the room.

Vorka carried 3 green potions (CLW, similar to ones you found prevoiusly), one brown potion, a Desnan candle (firework). She wears a charred and bloodied leather armor and carried a scimitar and 6 darts. The frog is only notable for his teeth and very long tongue (20').

There are several nicknacks littering the room, objects that once belonged to the crew of the ship. The majority of these are filthy and broken, but the goblins spend a bit of time scavenging and discover a small statues of colorful serpentine dragons, towering cliffs, delicate humanoid figures, and strange pagodas—not that a goblin would know a pagoda from a tool shed.

Even the filthy or broken clutter here could be worth about 600 gp to the right collector, but as they are mostly made of bamboo, exotic wood, and in some cases paper, they’re probably more fun to burn. Among the more obviously valuable objects are 140 gp, a bejeweled silver and jade lantern built to look like a coiled dragon worth 150 gp, a dozen masterwork shuriken, an ivory and gold fan depicting a gecko walking amid cherry blossoms worth 80 gp (the reverse side of this fan has been used by Vorka to draw a crude map of Brinestump, not unlike the one Scribbleface created), a long hairpin with a red pearl at one end worth 150 gp, a wand of some king, a pink potion in a crystal vial shaped like a heart (the vial itself is worth 50 gp).

Most importantly, though is the red chest: the object of your quest.

Unlocked, it contains several fireworks. The chest itself is heavy and worth 150 gp, and there were obviously once many more fireworks within (Scribbleface probably managed to steal many of them by sneaking into this room while Vorka was out hunting; or maybe Vorka used some), but those that remain should be more than enough to satisfy the chief for at least a few days. The fireworks in the chest consist of 14 Desnan candles, 20 paper candles, and seven skyrockets.

Just checking in. I know the past couple of days the forum has been down more often than Chuffy when fighting Vorka. ...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

:(

Chuffy sags down on the ground, leaning against the mast. He doesn't even seem to realize that they've found the fireworks. "Chuffy doesn't like adventure. Chuffy wanna go hooooome." He starts to cry.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Retus pats Chuffy on the head.

"Fire make everything better..." he says as he helps light the ship, along with anything else that is flammable.

"Goblins win! Retus prove he better than Reta! But Retus still like Reta and think she prettiest goblin, but Retus just glad he not Reta. Goblins go home now?" he says as they watch the ship burn.

Before they leave, Poog grabs one of the things he doesn't know are pagodas, and tries to balance it on his head.

"Humans have weird hats.

The scenario says the ship is too wet to burn. But that probably means *from the outside*.

Retus starts happily preparing a bonfire in Vorka's cabin, before someone points out that they should move the fireworks first.

The goblins manage to lug the 50 lb chest a safe distance away.

You can just light the ship on fire at this point, or go kill a dog and explore the final area(s). Let me know what your plans are.

I'm preparing chronicles. They should be available tonight or tomorrow.

Mogmurch uses some of his alchemist's fire to get the fire really going as he shouts "Burnz it to the grounds!"

Poog uses his last fire bolt to chip into the burning.

"Reta like big fire to cook dog."

Might as well explore the last area too.

The fire burns merrily, eventually engulfing the dog chained to the foremast, and an even more terrified (and more terrifying) dog locked in the galley that you never encountered. The smoke is seen far and wide. Even the stupid humans probably saw it.

The chest is heavy, and some sleight justice is had by making the temporarily stronger goblin carry it until his potion of bulls strength wears off. From there the goblins take turns, stopping occasionally to devise clever (and sometimes, noisy) ways of making the huge chest lighter.

The big Chief Gutwad welcomes you back with open arms. He doesn't take back his treasures too quickly, as you're all now big heroes in the village. There is much feasting, and burning, and, of course, fireworks.

Until, one day, you run out, and are again sent on a quest for more fireworks ...

Th-th-th-that's all, folks! This has been We Be Goblins. Chronicles link in the discussion tab.

Thanks for being a great table!

Please go ahead and get your pregens sorted out. There can be doubles, but one of each is ideal.

When you know who you are, please create an alias and populated its stats.

Then, post the following here in discussion:
* Player Name
* Character Name (alias AND goblin name)
* PFS ID# of the 1st-level character you're applying this chronicle to.

Note: As a nod to the craziness (and short-livedness) of goblins, this module has the unique benefit of applying a useful chronicle, even if the pregen dies. So, go crazy.

Stats for the Goblin pregens are available HERE.

So there is no confusion, yes, there are five of you at this four-person table.

Thank you for the clarification. I have to admit, my first thought when reading this morning was "Aww crap, I got booted!"

Can we start the adventure, even though it's not the 19th yet?

-Posted with Wayfinder

*cough* Probably shouldn't, but unless there are objections, I'm willing to begin.

With pregens, no one's character is otherwise engaged, so no harm there. The first little bit is all talking anyway.

Plus, I'm out of pocket for much of the 19th, until late in the evening, so I figured I'd kick things off here.

If any of y'all aren't ready—or don't wish to start early—I understand.

I'm fine with starting now. Just wanted to make sure that it was OK. I'm not too familiar with how strict the rules of PbP Game Day are. That's why I asked.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It's Sept 19th somewhere (*cough*, Australia, *cough), so let's get started!

Player: Hawkeye127

Character: Torgga Baldurk/Mogmurch
PFS#: 89501-7
Faction: Liberty's Edge

I'm editing the faction to Grand Lodge if that's alright. Sorry, this character is still in development and I can't decide what faction would best fit a dwarf barbarian.

BTW, @Retus, I loved your descriptions of the potions. Made me laugh out loud.

In case you missed it, Retus got a call out in the Gameday weekly summary for gobliny awesomeness.

Well done!

Lol, that's so cool! I didn't realize that was part of the gamedays.

I figured why not? The only difference for the table is the possibility of extra boons and gift certificates. My reporting is slightly different, but mainly more rewards for the table.

Heh...awesome. :)

Did you turn that in, GM? If so, thanks!

Yep, I submitted it. Anything that makes my laugh out loud at my computer will be submitted. And goblins are well suited for that.

We'll roll for boons at the end, too. (Hooray!)

I'm not encouraging you to let Reta die, but please know that as a special rule in We Be Goblins (only) there is no penalty for death. You still get a full chronicle and XP.

I will be taking a Fall Break trip with my family to Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde.

I'll likely not be able to post from Thursday to Sunday, so feel free to bot me if I'm up!

I'll be putting together chronicles tonight or tomorrow.

In the mean time.... BOON ROLLS!

Boon Rolls:
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Chuffy: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Mogmurch: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Poog: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Reta: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Retus: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Boon of players choice on a natural roll of 1 or 20
**Re-Rolls not allowed on boons**

A BIG congrats to Mogmurch (Hawkeye127)!

Chronicles are up! See link here.

I will be taking this link down in a few weeks, so please make sure to download your chronicles.

I'll finish reporting the campaign to the Gameday IV staff as soon as I get one more piece of info back from our boon winner.

Once everyone has checked in that they've received their chronicle, I'll mark this campaign inactive.

As always, feedback for the GM is welcome. You may post here, or PM, or have your buddy PM.

You guys were a blast, and I'd love to see each of you again.

Thanks.

Thanks for the run! Chronicle looks fine to me.

Thanks. I downloaded the chronicle sheet.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks! Got it!

Thanks so much for running that, DM Crucible! That was a fantastic gobliny group...loved it!

I'll be watching for anything you're running in the future. :)

Just got mine printed and it looks good. Thanks, GM!

I'm gonna un-inactive this thread, briefly ...

This module has been reported to Paizo, and should now show up on your session list.

Can someone check to make sure the Prestige Points reported are correct (that is, 1 for each of you)? I'm realizing I may have goofed something in reporting it to Gameday staff, and want to make sure it came out okay.

(Your chronicles are correct.)

Reporting on my character is correct, shows 1 PP.

I see 1 PP reported. Everything looks ok.

Sweet. Thanks. Back to marking this inactive.
