Eat little fire then!
Poog shouts and hurls more fire at the board.
Chuffy calmly draws, and loads, his crossbow.
Moggy tosses another acid vial.

Random miss chance
Reta's shot goes wide as Poog tries to singe the boar. Poog's spell provokes an attack, but the board still misses.
Poog's fire singes the hog further, and helps fill the air with the smell of bacon. Moggy's acid vial hits doing further damage, and splashing a bit on Poog.
Having taken all he can bear, the armored boar turns his curly tail and attempts to flee.
Emboldened by the boar's retreat, Chuffy moves forward.
Poog runs after the boar and hurls his javelin at it.
Chuffy darts forward.
Poog races after the boar as well, but his javelin bounces off of armor.
It appears the boar is intent on running away unless you intervene.
Moggy was really hoping on of the others would kill it without him having to use another alchemist's fire, but alas. He throws it at the foul beast.

Boom. Pieces of pig go flying in several directions, some of it still encased in armor. Too bad none of you brought sauce for the ribs.
As you search the body of poor Piggy, you find the gourd he was chugging still has about two doses remaining.
Moggy will pick up the gourd, if no one else objects. "Moggy need more fire. You all am no good at killing stuff...make Mogy waste fire stuff!"
As you approach the farm, you see a rickety wooden fence circling thick mud. Munchmeat Farm slumps in a soggy valley between two low tors. A slimy-looking creek winds through the farm, which is barely anything to look at. A house in the center of the fenced-in area leans against two hefty buttresses holding up three large beams. It’s balanced on numerous thick log stilts that create a cage-like hollow in the mud below the building. North of the house are a few filthy chicken coops, and to the west an upturned boat, propped against the fence, has been built into an impromptu shelter. A shed sits to the south of the building, and south and east of this shed are a few tired stretches of garden that look like they’re best at growing mud and weeds.
There is a single gate through the fence. The fence itself is poorly made, and might keep a goblin out for a short period, but not if the goblin were determined to overcome it.
A single rickety farm gate allows passage through the wooden fence here , below an archway made of broken branches and bleached bones.
A sign hangs from the arch, its words scrawled onto the wood with what looks like blood. Three severed, maggot-covered goblin heads sit on poles driven into the ground to the left of the gate. A second sign leans against these poles under the heads.
Both signs are written in Common.
The one hanging from the arch says, “Trespsrs wil b eatn!”
The one near the three goblin heads reads, “Yous gobluns taste YUM! Send moar gobluns!”
Chuffy stealthily works his way around the entire perimeter, doing recon.
Chuffy quietly circumnavigates the farm, reconnoitering and generally being sneaky.
An upturned boat, an old river barge by the look of it, sits in the mud here. The boat’s stern has been built into the fence, and a large hole has been smashed in the southern side to provide entrance to the dark hollow created by the hull.
You hear an animal moving inside.
Three decrepit henhouses slump battered in the mud here. The nervous clucking of several chickens can be heard from within.
There is some other animal smell you don't recognize coming from near the farmhouse
If Chuffy returns and tells the others about what he found, Moggy offers him up the pot of glue. "Chuffy want glue chicken house doors shut (if he heard something that might have been in there)? Not want fight whole farm at once!"
"CHICKEN!" Reta accuses.
"Duh, dumb Reta. Save chickens for dinner after am killing bad guys!"
Chuffy giggles when Mogmurch suggests gluing some of the doors shut.
"That sound like a great idea to me, Moggy! Then I can toss the BOOM! necklace in through a window..."
"ROAST CHICKEN!" Reta further accuses.
The farmhouse itself is oddly built. There appears to be an above-ground "basement" with stone walls. The main level of the farmhouse is above that, with an extension going west supported by stilts. The front door is the ramp from the north side going over the river.
The frame of the house itself is two stories above the stone basement (so the house is there stories in all).
Except for the clucking of the chickens, everything seems silent at the moment...
Poog will heal-stick himself, I assume sometime before they got to the barn but he could be doing it while Chuffy is sneaking around.
Ahh, is better. Ok so after door gluing then we what? Fight under boat thing? No need fight chickens me think.
Chuffy is quite sneaky, especially with the borrowed cloak. The gate squeaks slightly, but no one seems to notice. He crawls through the brush so well hidden that even his companions don't seem him, except when he steps out of a shadow to glue the basement door.
Chuffy disappears from view again. The other goblins watch and wait, and are surprised when Chuffy re-emerges directly in front of them.

Moggy tries to copy Chuffy and be as sneaky as possible as they trek through the farm yard.
*shrug*
The four of you make it to the west porch quite silently. Chuffy tosses the grappling hook up, and the four of you begin to climb.
Chuffy falls with a quiet thump, and tries again.
As you approach the door, Reta hear an occasional sqwaking from the roof above you.
Chuffy pulls out the glue to try and fasten the door, and finds the remaining glue has sealed itself to the lid of the container. It's now useless.
"SHHH!" She hisses toward the roof. And readies to shoot if anything appears over the edge.
"Chuffy so dumb he glued the lid on the glue!". Moggy tries to stay quiet, but he has a hard time not cackling at this.

The "door", such as it is, is poorly made, as is are the walls. It's not locked, and creaks constantly in the slight breeze.
It's about an hour until dusk, but inside you see a large ogre, sleeping on a large "bed", which is really nothing more than a nest made of old mattresses, loose straw, and mud. The fleas swarming on the “bed” are obvious from several feet away. A single trap door sits in the ceiling above.
The ogre is covered in pelts from cougars. Beside the bed is an elk skull mask/helmet with a broken antler. A spear rests in the corner.
