Zarongel gets his Bakin Dun Stick back, and is gnawing away on some bakin to be sure - and notices that the Piggy-Pig has three odd vegetables stuck in his armour - they really really really disgust-o-stinky.

Surrounded by a rickety wooden fence and 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.
Mogmurch looks over the piggy, trying to see if it look like Kobold Dragon Pig or something like that, but as he never sees a Dragon Pig before, he can't be sure.
Then he look at stinky veggies, trying to see if they just rotted or something more interesting and BOOMY.

When they ready to move on, Mog say "We sneak in, cook up Munchmeats like piggy?"
The gate...
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.
Moving across the yard towards the house, you pass a flimsy structure that seems to have started out as a workshed, but its sagging walls have been almost entirely overtaken by rampant plantlife.
Reta points at the shed, then the boat. "Reta think we should check outside buildings first...." She says as she darts toward the others.
Mog not care where looking first. At Reta's suggestion, he turns toward the boat.

Mog not seen veggies like this before. They stink like fuel from a bomb, but are not bombs... perhaps the Piggy had been eating them...!?
***
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.
It seems as though it has a bunch of piggy's in there - one is the fattest piggy you ever saw, just laying on its guts, another is a large but dejected and sad looking piggy.
[spoiler=DC15 Wisdom check[/ooc]
The dejected piggy is the fearsome Squealy Nord from your village! Friend not food![/ooc]
/derped!
Poog recognises the Piggy as Squaly Nord!
Squealy Nord recognises Poog!
Squealy Nord starts making loud sqeualy sounds, and wanting to get out of the cage before Ogers eat him for bakun. Tough argument, Squealy was part of Licktoads.
Mog's eyes get big as Squealy starts making racket and he moves toward the pig making hushing gestures. "Tell him to shuts his snout before we all be Munchmeat meats!"
Reta looks in surprise at Squealy Nord. "How Squealy come to be here?" She whispers.
Mog sneak up carefully and try to see how to let Squealy out of piggy pen, also looking around for more goodies like funny stinky veggies.

Mogmurch can work out it wold be simple enough to open the gate and unhook the chain on Squealy's neck. Mog manages to see that Princess Crackling has two more stinky fruits tied up within easy biting range...
Mog also notes that Princess Crackling raises a lazy eye in his direction - he knows she now knows hes there.
Not wanting to disturb Princess Crackling more than necessary, Mog frees Squealy and then follows the pig back out.
Squealy is liberated from captivity - Squaly gets a real mean glint back in his eye now he's free - then he looks at his Goblin compatriots just like a piggy would if the piggy had a tiny mind bursting with thoughts of revenge... clearly Squealy is onside for any battle-pigging!
Squealy sticks near Poog for the time being.
Mog follows Squealy's gaze as well and whispers "That where Ogre sleep? We cook him up soon. Reta want check outside buildings first. Can Squealy tell us what is there?" He asked, pointing toward the small buildings north of the farm.
Sub-chieftain Mogmurch considered their strategy, afterall he was smartiest goblin here...
"That sow too lazy to come help Ogre... but dog come when called. Reta right, we go there and kill doggy first. Reta and Poog like kill doggy." Mog knew well how much all Licktoads liked killing doggies.
Considering for a minute, he took off his eyepatch and used the strap to tether a stinky fire fruit thing to Squealy like it was on other piggies. "Here Squealy, if eat this thing, you fire-breathing piggy! Let's go kill doggy now."
Squealy looks excited by the prospect of bloody minded revenge, much stomping in the mud...
Mog moves up to take a look at the hen houses.
Three decrepit henhouses slump battered in the mud here. The nervous clucking of several chickens can be heard from within. Can't see a dog though so far.
Mog stays quiet and looks around in dirt for sign of doggy pawprints trying to figure where doggy might hide.
Reta looks at Mog. "Hay catch fire, ya? Throw fire bomb at dog and hay....." She says, rubbing her hands together in anticipation.
Mog nods, grinning. Liking Reta's suggestion so much, he motions for Chief Chuffy to join him and they sneaks close enough so that Mog lobs an alchemist fire at doggy while Chuffy readies sneaky crossbow attack.
Chuffy

Poog
Reta
ENEMY
At this point Mogmurch makes the connection that the straw and the lovely wooden henhouse are both highly combustible, and matched with some accelerants creates a wonderful fire.
The dog barks as the place erupts in an instant bonfire...
Dog (6)

Reta hops up and down, slapping Mog on the back. "Nice fire! Big!"
Mog grins again and then looks back toward house to see if any Ogres running to the rescue. If no one coming, he gets a wicked gleam in his eye as he fishes the container of sovereign glue from his pocket. "How many doors on big Ogre house? Maybe we glue them shut and then light place up. Cook up Munchmeats but good!"
Mogmurch looks at bridge carefully, asking Chief Chuffy. "Do Chief see any traps?"
Quietly, Mog sneaks toward the door and carefully applies the glue to the cracks in the door, hoping to seal it shut along with any windows he can reach.
