Selecting another arrow Greta shoots again.

Poog casts a spell, causing a large peal of thunder, directly over the head of the harpy!
The sonic boom seems to rattle her bones but otherwise she's all right..until Mogmurch blasts her out of the skies with a bomb that is
As you loot the body you find a (medium sized) morningstar, but she wasn't carrying anything else on her
"Tower search, eggs smash!"

You need to climb up to get to the nest, but given some trial and error, some assistance and some leg pulling when someone other then you gets closer to to the top then you do you ultimately make it up there.
There is an large nest made up out of straw and limbs
You find a leather satchel hidden. It contains; the following items: a piece of polished red coral (worth 200 gp), a rolled-up portrait of an old man and his dog (worth 50 gp), a jade egg (worth 150 gp), a bottle with some liquid (magic if detected), piece of paper (also magic), another piece of paper (also magic) a stick (magical), and a box containing small smelly sticks (incense - also magical)
Greta takes her time to take the nest apart... piece by piece.
Chuffy takes the two pieces of paper and the painting " Got stuff for making fire.does that ring taste as good as it sing. Only one way to find out lets cook it!"
"Yes yes, but truffles better. We have to gather to show we are super big bosses!"

As you climb down you search around for a bit and then Squeely picks up the scent of some nearby truffles ..you follow the pig to the big tree in the center of the field and start to dig around for the biggest truffles..then as you are busy you notice one of the biggest vines near the tree slightly moving out of the corner of your eye as it makes it's way from where it was to somewhere very close to you....
This creature is an assassin vine, a semimobile plant that collects its own grisly fertilizer.
Though unable to move at any great speed, these plants have a large reach and are dangerous enemies. As well as being capable of dealing nasty blows with the trunk of their vine, the construction of these vines allow them to grab and strangle their victims with ease.

"What be this? Poog not remember this being here last time..."
Quick as a rat, he rushes around to the other side, then channels the divine might of Zarongel!

Reta realizing that standing this close to an enemy would leave her open to being attacked takes a step back and finds out that the vine has a lot more reach then she thought
but luckily she's hard to hit, being the small dodgy target that she is, but having to dodge to the side throws of her aim and she ends up shooting her arrow into a nearby tree instead of her intended target.

Chuffy, Mogmurch + will save Chuffy vs Poogs channel

"OW dont do that. Fine fight it yourself
Ducking and diving Chuffy tries to move away from the plant as fast as possible
if he gets that far he will shoot with crossbow
"Not me, not me, not me!"

Ducking and diving Chuffy tries to move away from the plant as fast as possible, but misjudging the reach and speed of the vine Chuffy almost trips as it shoots out towards him
but manages to get away unscathed. He then shoots his crossbow and manages to hit the plant drawing some...sap.
Mogmurch seeing Chuffy backing away also withdraws to a saver distance.
The vine creeps forward and tries to wrap itself around Reta's legs before trying to move further up her body
but the slow creeper is no match to Reta's quick reflexes

Poog channels again!
Chuffy moves behind the rock and continues to use his highly effective crossbow
Moving back Greta knocks another arrow
Save away Mogmurch lobs a bomb at the plant.

Chuffy moves behind a rock and continues to use his highly effective crossbow hitting the plant in the soft(er) parts and causing his bolt to stick inside it.
Moving back Greta knocks another arrow, but unable to distinguish between a moving plant and a non-moving tree ends up logging her arrow inside the bark of the tree that the vine was wrapped around.
Save away Mogmurch lobs a bomb at the plant. A fiery explosion fills the field and after you blink your eyes and see clearly again you see some smoke rising up in the air from various burn marks on the plant.
The plant slowly creeps after Reta and tries to wrap around her legs, trying to prevent her from moving away.
But Reta is far too agile to be tied like that.

Poog uses the last of his Zarongel-granted energy on the plant.
"Die, die, DIE!"
"Ooh I can do fire" shouts Chuffy as he reaches for his flame bolts which turns to a curse filled accusation of "Which one of you fragert pecklers knicked me flame bolts?" and waits a whole turn for an answer
Throwing another bomb.
Shooting another arrow ;-) after moving 5 foot back
|
|
The combined force of Mogmurch's bomb and Greta's arrow make short work of the vine.
After making sure the plant is real dead - by use of excessive hacking the thing into tiny, tiny pieces you remember what you were doing here...searching for truffles
(Survival checks from each of you to try to locate one)
Chuffy looks around for his flame bolts and does not spot any truffles (nor flame bolts)
Poog looks for truffles!
|
|
Chuffy doesn't manage to find any truffles, while Mogmurch and Reta pick their noses and all though they do find _something_ it's not enough to hold a feast for a hungry goblin tribe but luckily Poog manages to find
enough truffles to make truffle cakes for the Chiefs - and who cares about what the rest of the tribe will eat anyway?
|
|
You return to the tribe expecting to be feted, cheered, and sung about. However, when you reach the clearing, you come upon a scene of chaos.
Shouts and screams pierce the air surrounding the Birdcruncher cave. The smell of the feast is... different. Mixed into the scent is a greasy smell peppered with burning wood, straw, and sulfur. The smell might even be goblin—cooking goblin. All of the preparations are in shambles. The tables are overturned, the cook pots have been knocked over, and the goblin dog pens are on fire.
An enormous hodgepodge of parts stumbles about, trying to kill anything within reach and erupting with sparks and fire as various fireworks explode from within its makeshift body. (see picture).
A fleeing goblin clamps you down and tells you:
"It started slowly enough. At first, some of the nearby goblins thought their eyes were playing tricks on them when another goblin claimed the statue moved. Others said they heard voices talking about eating their tender, green f lesh. Some of the goblins chose not to say anything, thinking that it was a chieftain trick and the big bosses were actually keeping an eye on the tribe while they were away to make sure none of the dumb goblins messed things up too much—or sat in their throne-chairs! But then it started to move and smash" before continuing to run away into the woods.
This is a animated construct. It looks to be made out of some very hard materials (hardness). More info will depend on check result)

Poog pulls out his wand, and tosses a ball of fire at the construct...
...before cursing loudly when the wand bursts into flame, tossing it aside as it rapidly chars into ash.
Reta draws an arrow and shoots at the thingy.

The skies are ablaze with an even bigger fiery display
as the construct manages to dodge some of the explosion.
Reta draws an arrow and shoots at the thingy. She easily manages to hit the large lumbering thing but her arrow bounces of it's though metal middle without causing the normal harm Reta expects from her arrow when they hit small prey

Chuffy moves forward and pulls out his grappling hook and rope
Mogmurch goes fully on the defensive..scared of what is about to come.
The construct notices Chuffy moving closer and speeds up as it's limbs pump up and down and quickly moves towards Chuffy in a straight line - without stopping!.
It's trying to run over Chuffy and stomp him into pulp.
(reflex save DC 18 for half - you have evasion ..so that would be for no damage)
All around the construct fireworks explode and sparks fly..some landing on the ground and creating puffs of smoke and small crates and one large missile heads towards Chuffy
DC 15 reflex save for half damage (none due to evasion)

Poog lets out some oohs and aahs of appreciation at the fireworks display, then downs his Elixir of Fire Breath, so that he can join in the fun!
Grabbing another arrow, this one those with a dark head Greta shoots again.
Chuffy likes to dodge
and dance in the fire
He then tries to tangle up the creatures leg with the rope and Squeals in delight as it appears to work
Using his last bomb Mogmurch happily throws it at the ugly

Grabbing another arrow, this one those with a dark head Greta shoots again. This type of arrow hits a lot deeper then her previous shot one.
Chuffy tries to tangle up the creatures leg with the rope and just barely manages to get his swung rope to go around the things legs
Using his last bomb Mogmurch happily throws it at the ugly hitting the thing in the pumkpin head and causing even more fiery explosions all around it.
The thing ignores the rope around his legs and stars to wail it's fists at Chuffy
and even hindered by the rope around it's body manages to hit Chuffy once with a flaming fist
+
and reflex save vs DC 12 or be set on fire for rounds - or until put out.
Mean while the fiery explosions around Chuffy distract him and he jumps into the path of a bottle rocket
unless you make a reflex save DC 15

He then tries to dance to the back of the statue and give it a good stab

Poog steps forward, and vomits a great gout of flame at the construct.
..which hindered by the ropes binding it the thing is unable to avoid. The ropes start to smolder and blacken and look like they won't be able to hold him much longer.
After Chuffy gets clubbed on the head he is send spinning but manages to use his movement to put out the flames that start to take hold of his clothes, but his head is still ringing from the solid blow.
As he tries to dance around the construct he quickly finds out that the rope is slowing the creature down..just barely enough for him to avoid getting another slam aimed his way. But then he stabs his sword into the hard underside of the thing to find out...that his little goblin muscles just are not powerful enough to get through the things though shell
