Poog shouts "Keep chewing you got it!"
Seeing fire have little effect and Zargonel having abandoned Poog in his time of need Poog stabs at the plant in retribution.
|
Squeely keeps trying to chew through the though plant, but his piggy teeth can't get a good grip on the moving plant (doesn't hit AC)
Poog himself manages to get a good hit in as he sticks his weapon into the plant causing it leak some liquid.
Chuffy moves sideways to get closer to flanking position and slices at the stupid plant causing a tiny slice to open in the side of it's outer layer.

Reta+Mogmurch
Plant
"Stupid plant made Reta waste two sparkly arrows! Reta kill plant and drink plant's water!"
Reta takes out her Dogslicer and charges at the green abomination.

Reta takes out her Dogslicer and charges at the green abomination, hacking away at the plant.
Mogmurch cackles with glee and lobs a stone he picked up from the ground over the top of your heads, taking careful aim and hoping for the best
The vine starts to curl around Chuffy's legs
..but Chuffy is just able to step over the creeping plant
init
You guys
Vine
"More slashing! More throwing! More stabbing! Less plant!"
Poog and Squeely continue their truffle shuffle around to give Chuffy that flank and both go after the plant themselves.
|
|
Reta keeps slashing away at the plant, small pieces of green stuff fly through the air as Chuffy sticks his weapon deep in the insides of the plant and twists it around as Squeely takes hold of a loose piece of plant and tears it off before starting to chew on it and swallowing it and Poog joins in to make some more bite sized pieces.
Mogmurch is just about ready to take out a bomb and hope for the best as he notices that you tore the vine into a few smaller pieces..which doesn't seem to be moving anymore.
For all of your trouble fighting the plant thing you only manage - with the help of your trusty sniffing pig when he isn't busy chewing on more dead plant - to find one truffle near the tree - which isn't nearly enough to make the hand cakes you (and the rest of the tribe, but who cares about them?) want to make from the truffles
Poog responds "Stupid shanks miss one though. Goblins know better and would take all truffles."

As you move closer to look at the hut thing
Portions of this old silo’s stone walls have fallen free from its mortar, leaving holes in the structure’s weathered face. The silo’s thatched roof is soggy and bare in places.
As you get close to it a winged humanoid flies out of the top to tower.
Save for the tattered wings and taloned feet, this creature resembles a feral woman with a wild look about her. It;s wielding a morningstar
"Ack! Kill it with fire!"
Mogmurch throws a bomb at the flying creature and hits it on one of it's wings which smoke a bit
The winged creature starts to sing, it sounds ..interesting
DC 16 Will saving throw or become captivated.
Poog sighs "Even Piggy know better than to listen to stupid music. Not even any fire in song."
"Poog make better noise!"
Poog will cast sound burst on the harpy.
"Flying longshanks is as disgusting as any longshanks! Reta will shoot longshanks and kill her to death!"
After exclaiming this, Reta starts slowly walking over towards the harpy.
Flying longshanks is friend. Reta will never hurt flying longshanks."
Maybe Poog should have hit stupid goblin heads with soundburst instead.
|
|
Mogmurch is captivated by the song and starts to move forward to stand beneath the harpy, looking up ..a little bit of drool running down the side of his chin.
The burst of sound that Poog summons hurts the flying harpy and causes the song to stop..but it's effects linger on
The flying harpy slowly decent down to the ground as her wings can't keep her aloft any longer but the spread of her wings prevent her from crashing into the ground. You hear a soft *plof* as her morningstar which slipped from her grasp hits the ground before she touches down herself. Her eyes unfocused as if she doesn't know what hit her.
init
Poog and Piggy The rest uses this round to snap out of the captivating song
Harpy
All of you again
Poog shouts "Poog goblin bestest goblin follow of Zarongel."
Poog will stab the harpy
Meanwhile Poog encourages Piggywiggy to try some chicken wings.

Even though Poog himself has no problems finding a nice soft spot to stick his weapon into the stunned creature his valiant attack pig has trouble to get through the though skin and armored (is guess pants) of the creature
The pain of being stabbed in the soft parts seems to snap her out of her dazed state and she snarls as her talons get ready to strike as she starts to flap her wings to get out from among your group (5ft step)
But being unused to starting out on the ground before striking seems to have thrown of her aim
init

Harpy
Poog squeezes the sides of the pig and moves around to a new flank with the harpy.
"Bird lady can sing, but Reta can burn!"
Reta moves to a slightly more interesting position and quickly fires two flaming arrows.

Poog squeezes the sides of the pig and moves around to a new flank with the harpy
Poog himself manages to deliver a pretty nasty stab to the part of the body that holds the wings and Squeely finaly manages to bite down on one of her legs
Chuffy creeps around the harpy trying to get in good slicing position, unable to find a good location Chuffy just goes for the first one he finds and scratches the woman with his weapon.
Reta moves to a slightly more interesting position and quickly fires a flaming arrow right under the creatures ribcage, which in addition to the other wounds she suffered causes her to fall down on the floor
As you search the body it seems that the harpy didn't have anything of any value on her - other then the morning star, which she already dropped
Poog tries to light the morningstar on fire as though it were a torch.
After that endevour...
"Hey, lets check out birdshank's hut."

Poog tries to light the morningstar on fire as though it were a torch. And quickly finds out that metal doesn't burn..but the wooden part which you normal hold in your hand does...so he just turns it upside down and get's some nice flames going...before finding out that metal next to burning wood gets warm..and then hot. After dropping his new "torch" and licking his fingers he continues to check out the birdshanks hut
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
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)
Reta's floaty head makes her climb easy and she starts looking around the nest, ignoring Chuffy's observation.
"Chuffy lying; Reta can't see the nothing!"
Poog throws the stupid smoldering morningstar on the floor and ignores the numheads upstairs.
Reta sniffs one of Chuffy's truffles, then starts dowsing for a similar scent.
"When Goblin stomach rumbles, on truffles Reta stumbles!"
|
|
Reta has no problems sniffing out a few truffles
Poog with the help of his trusty companions finds truffle after truffle and is even able to save a few for himself before his piggy steed eats them
Chuffy how ever mistakes a chunk of dried horse dung for a truffle and refuses to believe otherwise.
Mogmurch is contend to have you do all the hard work while he provides " helpful " tips from a nearby log.
After gathering enough truffles, you head back home to finish the feast that your goblin minions have set for you—even if you had to go get the truffles yourselves.
|

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

Reacting quickly Chuffy pulls out his crossbow and aims straight for the stupid pumpkin head with a solid *plink* the bolt hits it's target , but only sinks in a fraction of an inch ..not something Chuffy is used to - normally when he hits something with a crossbow bolt it goes in much further.
Mogmurch pulls out a small vial and drink it, he becomes a bit more twitchy (drinks his mutagen)
The walking horror moves towards you at a rather frightening lumbering pace in an almost straight path with sparks flying all around it, some of them rather large and fiery and look like they could hurt if you got hit by one..small patches of grass catch fire as burning pieces land on them..but they quickly go out again, leaving only a small patch of black ash and a bit of smoke. It looks intend on trying to run you over.

Reta pulls out two more of her flaming arrows and fires them at the construct and she manages to hit the thing lumbering towards you twice, but both times her arrows just bounce of the thing but the arrows leave a bit of a burn mark on the sports where they hit

Goblin Chief Effigy
Poog thinks to him self... effigy designed to burn...
Poog draws his wand of fireballs...

Poog draws his wand of fireballs... and a huge explosion fills the clearing (a bit behind the stupid walking statue thing so you don't blow yourselves up as well)
as by a miracle the lumbering giant thing turns just in time to avoid most of the blast
Chuffy thought the pumpkin head should have burst from his bolt. He figures he better try a new tactic. He takes a step away from the other goblin chiefs to try to spread out, then he removes his grappling hook from his pack. He twirls it around and throws it at the stupid pumpkin effigy!
His hook bounces of the stupid pumpkin head without doing anything
Mogmurch inspired by the big fiery explosion mixes up a bomb and throws it
He hits the thing in the big belly and it almost looks as if something would catch on fire...but when the smoke clears, there's just a scorch mark but no ongoing fire
"Mogmurch no stupid! Mogmurch move away from here!"
and Mogmurch takes a few steps to the side
The construct lumbers forward, it's big stomping feet crunching down on the ground before him as he stomps over to Chuffy, trying to run him over
With each movement, spinning pinwheels and gouts of sparks erupt from the effigy and Chuffy is surrounded by flying flames
fire damage

Enemy
Poog digs his heels into Squeely Nord to get as far away from the giant effigy as possible before firing off another fireball.
Seeing that her arrows are not very effective, Reta takes out her dogslicer and prepares to charge at the construct.
"Pumpkinshanks go boom, Pumpkinshanks go crack! When Pumpkinshanks destroyed, it's head becomes a snack!"

As Chuffy swings his dogslicer he manages to hit him right before the thing barrels over him, but other then a satisfying *plink* as his dog slicer connects with one of the things legs, there is no effect
Luckily he's able to avoid getting hit by the fiery things sparking all around
Poog digs his heels into Squeely Nord to get as far away from the giant effigy as possible before firing off another fireball.
The blast lights up the skies as the very edge of it explodes right at the stupid pumpkin head, just above Chuffy's head
Seeing that her arrows are not very effective, Reta takes out her dogslicer (and stores her bow I guess?) and prepares to charge at the construct.
Chuffy then tries to withdraw and to his horror finds out that the reach of the arms of that thing are far greater then he expected.
If, during the process of withdrawing, you move out of a threatened square (other than the one you started in), enemies get attacks of opportunity as normal.
You may not withdraw using a form of movement for which you don't have a listed speed.
Note that despite the name of this action, you don't actually have to leave combat entirely.
Swing after Chuffy
..but luckily for Chuffy the large flaming fist sails right past the tips of his ears.
Mogmurch inspired by the flaming explosions tosses a vial of alchemist fire
setting the thing on fire
It lumbers in between Mogmurch and Reta as the burning oil runs down it
fire
It's fireworks spewing all over the place
some of the fireworks hit Mogmurch in the torso
before the thing follows up with 2 swings of his massive flaming fists
Reta manages to dodge the attack, but Mogmurch feels his head ring as the large fist solidly connects
some of the burning oil and fireworks leak down on top of Mogmurch
and some of the alchemical supplies he's carrying start to catch flame!
