Two rickety wooden platforms—crow’s nests—sit on the masts, ten feet above the ship’s deck below. Each is linked by a pair of thick ropes, and additional ropes hang down from the platform on the stern-most mast to the deck.
There is also a door leading to a cabin on this deck and a straircase leading down to a lower deck
Poog bets Chuffy can't climb that!
Poog approaches the door to the cabin, as quietly as he can, hoping to surprise anyone inside.

It's obvious to even Chuffy that something inside the cabin is growling.
Reta is able to find a few small peepholes in the old decaying ship to look through and manages to see:
This room is a blood-splattered chamber of horror. Dead rodents, snakes, and birds have been variously nailed, tied, and hung around the walls. At the far end of the room, a large cauldron bubbles over an iron stove set against the aft wall, its stovepipe chimney extending up through the ceiling. A bloody burlap sack sits on the floor next to the stove. The center of the room contains a long, rickety table surrounded by chairs that contain several grisly decorations—a whole family of skeletal goblins, their bones bleached white and bound together by reeds and twine.
In the middle of the room is also the meanest dog you have ever seen.It's a hulking, rheumy-eyed, lumbering cur bigger than most goblins. It's standing and sniffing the air..growling.
Poog throws the door open and lets loose with his burning hands on the occupant.
Hah! Dog burn! Burn Dog Burn!
Uh oh. Dog not dead. Reta! Stab the dog!
|
Reta does the following upon spying the dog. She first drinks potion of 'Makes you strong like Big animal(Bull's strength)' feeling her muscles bunch up.
After that she drinks Dragon Brew Gourd, bleching fire is always good.
Then Poog throws open door and screams for Reta.....figures....
Reta stands in front of Poog and Bleches...........fire
|
|
Poog kicks open the door with his tiny goblin legs, filling the entire room with MASSIVE (k, that was sarcasm ;0 ) amounts of burning hotness, fire and flames go everywhere....it just seems to tick the dog off, making him angry.
Chuffy climbs down
Reta drinks a couple of bottles and after Poogs impressive fire display decided to show him how it's done....which truly is IMPRESSIVE this time.
The dog seems to have been a bit distracted by the earlier amount of fire because he doesn't seem to bother to put his best effort into trying to dodge the second wave of flame and just barely makes it.
He does try to bite Reta in response
biting deep into poor Reta's flesh
trying to drag her down to the ground
but doesn't succeed..

You guys
Cuddles ..if he makes it to the next round

Chuffy manages to dodge past the dog with a dazzling display of goblins acrobatics resulting in him not getting attacked.
Then he tries to stick the bad dog real good (or should that be real bad?) slicing into the dog with his dog slicer..hurting him bad. But being as bigand though as he is he's not out of the fight yet.....
init
Poog, Mogmurch, Reta
Cuddles ..if he makes it to the next round
Chuffy
As Reta withdraws, Mogmurch retrieves the potion of cure moderate wounds and shoves it in her hand. "Here! Stop crying now!"
WOW! Big fire Reta! You get back now, Poog stop bad dog!
Poog pulls out his dogslicer and steps into the space that Reta left.
Agh! Die Die Die! Bad dog! No bite Poog!
|
|
And with one final display or goblin cunning Poog brings down the big bad dog.
If you look around this gruesome place you notice that in the cauldron there are an goblin arm and leg floating around.
And if you keep searching you find out the bloody burlap sack contains the rest of the goblins body, including his uniquely branded face. You all regonize this face as Scribblyface (the goblin you all kicked out of the Licktoad Village for writing words down).
Nothing else is in here.
Someone is in room. Chuffy should go first.

As Reta moves down to the bottom of the ship and stands in front of the cabin door she hears someone rumble around inside. Somehow this person has missed all the combat going on but did manage to hear you argue and move down the stairs.
The air in this cabin is thick and close, stinking of swamp and sweat, with a thick, glistening layer of mud on the floor and swaths of oily fungus clinging to the walls. Even more dangling decorations of goblin bone and animal-part fetishes hang from the ceiling on lengths of sinew here, and what appears to be a nest made of rags, sticks, mud, and castoff
bits of clothing lies against the westernmost wall. But scattered amid the filth and clutter are several exotic-looking man-made objects—including a tantalizing red chest.
In the room are a giant frog and behind it a goblin with a HUGE head, truely enormous, wearing an even bigger floppy leather hat and Her mouth is her most fearsome feature—it's a bit too wide,even by goblin standards, and Vorka's habit of filing her already sharp teeth has resulted in a snaggletooth grin of mismatched teeth that leaves little doubt as to her preference for tough, stringy meat. Like goblin meat. She wears rags and bits of stained cloth—trophies harvested almost at random from her hapless victims, over her equally patchwork leather armor.

Vorka and Lord Longtongue
The Licktoad tribe's most cleverest goblin begins to sing as he mixes a bomb and lobs it at Vorka.
♪♫Things go boom when Mogmurch throoooows♫♪
♫♪Much more fun than using booooows♪♫
Poog's going to delay until after Vorka as I can't see her from here anyhow.
|

Reta belches forth an might impressive display of flames, spewing it in the air above the frog at Vorka before taking a step back
Vorka tries to dodge most of the fire being spit at her
and easily dodges some of it.
Mogmurch then steps up but he just barely misses Vorka (even though she's not completly focused on the combat yet)
The bomb lands right behind her though and she is caught in the blast
avoiding most it easily again
Chuffy then runs into the room, around the frog and slices at Vorka..hitting her right in her BIG head.
Poog waits to see what's going on.
Vorka looks straight at Chuffy and says:“Those ears might taste fine stuffed with eyes. And your throwing fire around...two can play that game!.”
Vorka takes a step away from Chuffy and casts a spell summoning a ball of flame in the palm of her hand.
"Lord Longtongue, attack them goblinsis!"
The frog turns his head and tries to take a bite out of Chuffy
Biting deep into the goblins leg

You guys
Vorka and Lord Longtongue
Chuffy! You gonna get squished in there!
Cast Cure Light Wounds where I'm at, move through the doorway, and touch Chuffy.

It seems as if Mogmurch bomb exploding dazzled all of you and effected your vision a bit, when you blink your eyes you notice that Vorka is a bit more damage then you thought..and the frog was also caught in the blast.
init
Reta, Mogmurch (Ready from Chuffy)
Vorka and Lord Longtongue
Poog moves up and heals Chuffy ..a little bit
Chuffy then moves a bit and waits for someone to flank
|

Mogmurch does a little dance at the sight of Vorka going down.
Lord Longtongue looks over his shoulder and sees Vorka lying on the ground. It's tongue flicks out and licks Vorka as you think you see the hint of a tear glint in the big frog's eye. It then tries to move towards the door returning to his beloved swamp, only to find it blocked by goblins.
In frustration it tries to bite Poog
but misses horribly.

You guys
Lord Longtongue
Hey! Stupid frog no bite Poog! Frog boss is dead! Frog should go way now.
Poog doesn't have to put up with this abuse. Poog going to fight back!
And then Poog steps into the corner, to keep his back to the walls.
