Poog is full of drunken vigor and excitement at hiding so well. Without nearly as much bluster as Reta, he attempts the 'biter.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Halfway-through, he gets caught on something and yelps a bit in pain and profanity as a chunk of flesh comes off his butt.

Player note: That's a guess at how difficult the Earbiter i--*gets shanked by Poog* OW! My FOOT!

i know this is going to hurt...i have no idea what the DC is

Mog struggles t free him self for the ball o pain

EA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
EA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
EA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
EA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

man the dice gods hates me

Answers the question :)
Each fail has a chance of damage. DC15 EA

Reta gets helplessly trapped!
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

The Earbiter draws a bit of blood cutting her... the goblins giggle.
They also grow bored and throw food at Reta!
She looks pretty stuck.

Poog likewise has a turn!
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Poog is stuck almost at the end...but is unhurt.
One more DC15 EA to escape notionally!

Mogmurch gets stuck here and there...
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Damage 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
He gets cut up nicely and creates a mini bloodbath out of himself, the Goblins are thrilled but he is missing a bit out of his ear.
He makes it out the far side though!

Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (2) - 5 = -3
Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (12) - 5 = 7
Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (11) - 5 = 6

Should have waited to find out the DC. Need 20s to get out...
Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (6) - 5 = 1
Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (2) - 5 = -3
Escape Artist: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (3) - 5 = -2

After my first attempt I'm at 10hp, let's see where I am now...

Reta begins to grow increasingly frustrated, shouting death threats at everything living or otherwise.

Chuffy?

Chuffy is bestest earbiter! Sorry was trapped in a train with no intenet yesterday...

Escape Artist 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Escape Artist 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Escape Artist 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Reta is firmly stuck - her big head all entangled.
Goblins throw rocks and left over food to express what they think of watching a trapped Goblin. She suffers some cuts and bruises but is stuck solidly in the wire. The good news is there is no shortage of food.

Poog and Chuffy make it out after a while, and Mogmurch stunned the audience with his sheer bloody minded self destructive persistence.

Mogmurch, Poog and Chuffy are brought once more before the Chief "You beat the Biter! You can borrow my Very Useful Robe That Is Useful!"

This is a robe of useful items that has only four patches left—a ladder, a three-legged turtle, a horseshoe, and a bullhorn.

Eventually Reta is freed from the Earbiter.

***
Dawn comes, and with it a great degree of excitement.

Once more you are taken to the Chief.
"Now you go get fireworks and bring them here to me.” he informs you - but you are also handed a big bag of Scribblefaces fireworks to 'help' you on your quest...

2 Desnan candles, 4 paper candles, and a skyrocket.

***

The journey to the fireworks stash, as indicated on the map, is relatively short—a slog not quite a mile-long through the swamp along the creek’s southern bank.

The marsh itself is relatively difficult to navigate, with numerous
stretches of deep water that must be skirted and thick tangles of stinging nettles.

The journey should only take an hour to make.

General marching plans? Moving on...

Reta is likely hungover and scabby so more aggressive than usual and likely to want to march in the front to show SHE AM NOT AFRAID. She'll make occasional perception checks as well on the march.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21+4 to detect any canines within a 30ft radius.

We've got loot to divvy too:
Elixir of Fire breath
+1 Dogslicer
Ring of Climbing
Robe of Useful items (ladder,3-legged turtle,a horseshoe, a bullhorn)
I'm partial to the dogslicer myself, anyone have their eye on a particular item?

Reta is glad to be in the swamp, the chiefs booming voice seemed even louder than ever, she thought her head was going to explode. Picking at at scab on her face she starts to shout at the others to move faster and quickly regrets it.

Even her own voice hurts.

Well, ah, okay, then.

Poog is still wondering when the poison is going to hit from the horrible slimy things, and is keeping along with the party (hopefully). He'll poke Reta with the healy stik.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Ya the weapon should go to the melee gobbo i guess ill take the Elixir of Fire breath

Mog will roll in the back of the party since he can toss explosives

Chuffy will take the ring and march straight behind Reta of course!

Chuffy stops looking at Reta for a minute, he sees an awesome big spider up ahead!

Surpriz round
Chuffy
Fat stupid spider.

Ew looky there yucky spider let's go kill it!

Chuffy proclaims but instead of charging headstrong he hides behind Reta's rump.

Delay.

The fat hairy spider spits gooey strands at Reta!

Web 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23

Reta is covered in horrible gooey webs!
Web

Poog
Reta
Mog
SPIDER!

Poog's longshanks is a horrific arachnophobe. Even in 'theatre of the mind' I'm having nigh-onto trigger issues here. Other players: Please feel free to move Poog to make him more effective, etc. Apologies for the inconvenience! (Thought maybe it was a centipede...)

Poog sees big buggy thing and does to it what buggy things should have done to them!

Ranged Touch(Firebolt on bug thing): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 ⇒ 6

Out of curiosity, why was my own perception roll not used? I assume it was made too early in the march but without an indicator of time it's hard to tell. Also Poog it looks like the Robe goes to you!

On her initiative:

Reta does not like gooey webs. Not at all. She hate's it so much that she shouts:
"RETA HATES GOOEY WEBS!" See. I told you.
Strength check to burst web DC:12: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 1 - 4 = 13 Standard Action
Fueled by her hatred, and an inherent need to dissect anything with legs, Reta tears herself from the web and charges forward, her new weapon (that belongs to the chief but is totally hers for now) held ready to kill.

Hiya, all good - the problem with perception checks comes down to 'at what point over an hours march is it made' as you point out. That said, I missed it in the initial catch up, so I failed MY perception check :)

I'll kick you a free pass next combat :p Its what I get for posting at 639am before my coffee...

Reta rips out of the webs, a herculean effort!

Poog fires off a bolt, goes wide - spider not fried!

Mog tosses a bomb but it goes a bit wide...

Chuffy runs to kill the spider now that he can come in from behind like the coward he is and hacks a leg off lotslegs but lots remain.

Reta stares at the spider and grins as she swings with her dogslicer, eager to spill blood.

Well why to waste my mutagen...lol Mog kisses his bulging mussels "its ok ladies youz get a chance later..."

When ever we get a chance ill need to hold for an hour so i can make a new mutagen

edit

Ok in a double move im next to chuffy

It is still alive... run Moggy!

Okay, I'm acting in proper order this time...
Reta roars furiously, drops her sword and, using her bow, fires an arrow at the spiders direction.
Ranged Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 12
dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Ranged Touch(Firebolt on bug thing): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d6 ⇒ 5

"DIE stoopid Lotslegs in Zarongel'z NAME!"

And with that little 'Kiss of Zarongel' the spider becomes a fry-der.

Chuffy still feeling sick (make another Save!)

...and people are stating to feel last nights slugs causing 'some disagreement', especially a certain someone who ate the skins...

Poog WAS about to poke Chuffy with more Zarongelian encouragment, but suddenly feels that HE may need it instead and pokes himself, even as he lets forth a most hideously aromatic belch (and for goblins, that's saying something.)

Poog's Longshanks here. Hope you don't mind the flavoring there?

All good, we can't taste it so... :p And besides, this is We Be Goblins - your chance to let your inner Goblin run naked and free and pick its nose and the noses of all of its friends! Immerse yourself in the green to your hearts content :p

Fort1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Chuffy much sick.

Str damage 1d2 ⇒ 1

As the spider dies Reta does a quick little victory dance, however all that moving causes a strange sensation in her stomach.

She takes Poog's belch as a challenge and lets out on of her own.
Sniffing the air afterward she's quickly overcome and moves away from the stench as quickly as she can.

"LETS GO WIMPS!"

While she waits for the rest of the goblins, she pulls a bug from her pocket and removes it's legs one by one.

Poog offers a shoulder to Chuffy. While Zarongel is big on strength, he is also big on goblins working together to overcome bigger foes like horses! and dogs! and longshanks!

And then proceeds to let loose the mother of all posterior eruptions. Trees wilt. Flowers die. Wildlife cries out once in a collective sigh of anguish and expires.

Of course he doesn't realize it, he's too busy trying to help Chuffy!

Chuffy looks pretty ill, he has gone a sick shade of green, which is some effort for a Goblin.

As Chuffy has a bit of a moment, Poog finally feels the slugs firmly come back to haunt him. He is not a well gobby.

Chuffy, you have the STR damage until you can get it restored.
Poog you have the Sickened condition for 24 hours

***

New map up

A two-masted ship lies mired in the mud in this clearing, its rigging thick with moss and decorated with lanterns and windchimes made from goblin skulls and bones.

Strange writing is faintly visible along the ship’s prow, while the soggy, swampy “yard” that surrounds the wreck is encircled by a rickety wooden fence. A thin curl of smoke wafts up from a chimney that protrudes from an unusual box-like structure near the ship's bow.

You are on the map, the gate to the place hangs open in the wind, determine order of march and your general approach :)

Wheeee! Suckit, Poog! OWMAHSPLEEN!

Sickened Poog trudges along sneakily, feeling like his guts are going to burst, along with the rest of him. Zarongel let me go out with boom! Apparently Zarongel is a *cruel* hero-god, because no such blessing occurs.

Stealth(Sickened): 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19

After the last march Reta is fine letting Poog take the lead, but she's not fine with him being in front of her given his new...explosiveness, she moves along side him, satisfied that it's a safer position.

Mog stays in the back saddened that he was not given a chance to make a new mutagen...

As Poog moves up to the gate he can see beyond - the whole area is basically churned up mud with big U shaped footprints in it!

All the Goblins are startled by the sounds of a dog barking in there too!

Reta tilts her head into in the air and sniffs vigorously, drawing her new sword.

Scent to pinpoint location of the dog, move action that automatically succeeds if dog is within 30feet of Retas location. Provides direction not exact location.

Reta can't smell where it is, but she knows it is up on the big ugly boat.

Oh boy, here's to another decision I'll regret!

Brandishing her fancy Dogslicer Reta tears off toward the boat, as she nears it, she stops and sniffs the air again.

Reta pushes in whilst around the gate three little goblin heads jockey for a view of Reta to see if she gets whacked into paste.

As she moves in she thinks she has this all sorted out, until the filthy, dark gray stallion whose feet have churned the region into a thick morass of mud sloshes around the corner, snorting the air as if looking for something - heading straight for Reta!

Poog

Chuffy feels sick and weak but chuffy is smart and quick and not really brave but moves ahead to explore none the less. Quite as a moiuse.

Stealth 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

I'd say stealth until we recognize what's going on
