Silbeg's We Be Gobln's Free! (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

It is an oak forest, so the canopy is probably at least thirty feet up. Flying is possible, but difficult due the trunks

Listening to the Rush song, The Trees to get psyched.

Hmmmm, longshankes look long in shank. And uglies too.

From his pouch, Mogmurch pulls a shell with wax sealed over the opening. Scraping some away, he tips the foul smelling liquid into his mouth.

"BBBBBUUUUURRRRPPPP"

He throws the shell aganist the trunk of a neakby black oak, watching the shell explode into thousands of pieces.

"Oh s~+*, supposed to be quiet like. Where Chuffy go? Where Pool go? Where other gobo go? Weird one. Them big girls gobos. Not hero like Mogmurch. Me cannot wait to make them go BOOOMS!"

"Oh s**+, supposed to be quiet like. Mogmurch gonna be sneaky. Creep up to longshanks and throw bombs. Watch them burn. Gonna make me happy."

Take mutagen, Stealth take 10: 28 = 28 creep to the south

Can you guys move your tokens to where you are starting? If you are expecting to be off the board, please note that with a callout or something. Once we have this, we can move on. At this time, I don't really grok what you are trying to do. ;)

Chuffy moves quietly through the tree line. He considers unleashing his pet spider, Stankrash, upon the horses to spook them but figures his fire-loving comrades will do a better job of that anyway. He finds a particularly sturdy tree trunk for cover and looks around for a juicy target to hit with his crossbow.

Stealth again, if I need it: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32

Moved Chuffy on the tactical. Plan is to have a readied action to fire his crossbow for "when shıt hits the fan".

Finally got the fireball marked on the map. Poog will do this as soon as everyone is in in position. I am assuming this will be a surprise round action, as he would cast it before the longshanks even know he is there. Let me know if there is anything else you need me to describe!

Mogmurch updated, oh and Stranger in a Strange Land - totally overrated IMHO

We'll start as soon as Reta is placed -- if someone could give her a lockwood, that'd be great!

Could you roll, in a spoiler, so I have it when we start. The surprise round is going to ONLY be Poog... because Goblins don't coordinate well!

Already did above... Weee, this should be interesting!

Lockwooded Reta based on her description from her last post.

Chuffy almost squeals with glee at the prospect of the very 'not boring' things that are about to happen.

Poog says an arcane word ("Fire!") and a tiny bead of red flame flies out from the wand, exploding once it gets over the campfire! All four of the humans, and two of the dogs, fall over, burning, dying. Two of the horses break away (including the fire-balled one.

The dog runs away from the fire, but is slashed to bits by Reta and Chuffy.

seriously, they only had 10 hp. That was an incredibly high roll, Poog!

The goblins immediate search the campsite (and kill the remaining horses). You find

• 4 Alchemist's Fire
  
• 4 Medium Studded Leather
  
• 4 Mwk Short Swords (m)
  
• 4 short bows (m)
  
• 4 sets of thieves tooks
  
• 4 truffles and Slipwhittle's toe scratcher
  
• various jewely
  
• a wooden box w/ 1 pound cloves
  
• a brass prosthetic foot
  
• a damaged strand of prayer beads
  
• a ham
  
• three jugs mead
  
• 4 adamantine arrows (size medium)
  

Thanks for the lockwood

Reta only faintly hears Poog's arcane mumbling, and suddenly a heatwave flies past the goblin warrioress, and a ball of fire engulfs the campsite.

What happen? Why Poog so powerful suddenly? Before he just talk big! Wand makes him powerful? Better steal wand before Poog gets too big chief!

But something in the camp remains interrupt Reta's musings. "Ooh, shinies! And grilled food!"

Reta runs to the camp, all stealth now forgotten. She starts picking up the jewelry, and adding them to her attire. Reta look pretty now! She also picks up the arrows, attracted by the shining metal of the arrowheads. The goblin gives one arrowhead an appraising bite, and hurting teeth tell her the oversized arrows might be worth keeping.

"Was fun, but too short. What next?"

FYI - by the rules, you cannot fire medium sized arrows from a small bow... so you may want to grab a shortbow. Remember to add the penalty for inappropriately sized weapons when you fire, but also note that you will get medium-sized damage from them!

We'll move on when you are done looting, eating, and looting.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Poog let's out an evil, full out belly laugh as he saunters into the camp while his minions chase down the survivors. The buildings and tents crackle and burn, the tatters letting smouldering embers fly off in the breeze.

"Zarongel has blessed mighty Poog, and mighty Poog has blessed you with his display of mighty fire!"

"now we take shiny stuff and go get truffles!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

As the fireball incinerates everyone in the clearing, Chuffy takes a moment to pause and think. Ah, this is the reason Chuffy hasn't killed Poogie yet. That wand won't last forever, though...

Chuffy rushes in and starts rummaging through the treasures. He flings the truffles in Squealy Nord's direction and starts chomping on the ham, mouth open, so the pig can get a good look at it. He draws out the corpse of toad, 'Fat Frog', who has long ago died of starvation. It is almost completely dried up now, frog skin stretched taut between its brittle bones. "No food for you, Fat Frog. Have you put on weight? Naughty froggy! You still on diet!"

Then Chuffy spies the greatest treasure of all. "Toe scratcher is mine!" he screams and grabs the oversized implement. The disgusting goblin kicks off his boot, revealing a foot covered sores and boils. "Aaaaaaahhhhhh...." he moans delightedly as he uses the implement. Pus and blood erupt from various places on his foot and begin to make the ground stink like dead badger.

"So, back home?" suggests Chuffy, "Tell followers how awesome we are, eat horsies and then kill whole tribe to relieve boredom. Sound like plan? Oh, right, truffles."

"SQUEEEEEE! SQUEEE! SQUEEE!"
The little pig squeals in delight when Chuffy throws the truffles at him, greedily grabbing them, chewing, and swallowing.

It is at that time that Chuffy remembers that getting truffles for their favorite handcakes is why they were here in the first place.

1d4 ⇒ 3 truffles consumed already... one still available.

"now we take shiny stuff and go get truffles!"

"3 truffles consumed already... one still available."

There was only four to begin with? Poog loves squealy nord, but he would not allow his animal companion eat the majority of the truffles they were coming to retrieve. I doubt Chuffy would have thrown all of the truffles to squealy nord had he known those were the only ones. I don't know if it matters for a success condition, but please don't penalize us for an RP quip. If it really doesn't matter, then just forget what I said. :)

"Hurry hurry! Let's get truffles and get back. Then we send goblin minions back to get dead longshanks and use them for fireworks game instead of fake straw dummies!" Poog is once again delighted, and feels very smart and wise for his genius idea.

As the goblins scurry around, Poog casts detect magic to see if there is anything really interesting in the loot haul.

Doesn't matter... you have time to find more.In fact, you are pretty sure that you needed more than four to start with. And, you don't get to skip gathering the actual truffles!

Poog determines that one of the beads on the necklace is magical.
spellcraft (poog): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
However, he has no idea what it does.

Doesn't matter... you have time to find more.In fact, you are pretty sure that you needed more than four to start with. And, you don't get to skip gathering the actual truffles!

Sweeeeeet :) Ok, then let Squealy Nord have his feast!

"Good piggy. Poog loves his squealy nord. Now me mount you, and we go hunting for more truffles! Poog shall find the most truffles while riding heroically on his heroic mighty mount, squealy nord!"

"Quick, drink longshanks tipsy drink. Me take this longshanks foot. Me think of good way to melt it with fire."

The goblin pats the pig on his head, and grins evilly in the distance. He pockets the prayer beads, even though he does not know what they do. They might just come in handy later.

The goblins head off to the "Bestest Truffle Field".

A huge oak stands on the north edge of a narrow clearing. Its trunk is covered in vines, and its tangled roots provide a healthy bed known to be the source of the best truffles in the area. Fallen trees and a few large rocks are spread out through this wide clearing. A ruined silo slumps not far away.

You may approach from any direction. You can pretty much just go where you want right now, just describe what you are doing!

Sorry Poog, but Chuffy really did throw all the mushrooms there fully knowing that it was what they were looking for. Stinkin' humies touched them.

Chuffy attempts to remove the last mushroom that Poog managed to save from Squealy Nord. Not gonna eat dirty mushrooms touched by longshanks...

Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

If he gets the mushroom without Poog noticing, he lets Squealy chow down.

On the way to the truffle hunt, Chuffy moves over to Mogmurch, "Hey Moggie, you gonna help me out? Chuffy want poison on blade. Please? Stankrush been bitting little vials you give him real good - got lots now! Chuffy make sure you get bigger slice of pie."

Chuffy's sheet says he's learned to cooperate with Mogmurch and gets him to apply the poison to his blades now (Mogmurch auto succeeds at this). I'd like to poison my blade and three crossbow bolts.

"Chuffy check out silo, you pick boring mushrooms," says the pimply goblin. Being naturally cowardly and cautious, he creeps up to the ruined silo to scout things out. He remains hidden as best he can (ie. if he can't find cover, he won't go there, preferring to look from a distance).

Chuffy stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

"Oh, longshank arrows work only with longshank bow." Reta realizes soon after she has picked up the adamantine arrows. She grabs one giant bow as well, in case she need to be firing those arrows.

-----

"Chuffy wait! Reta... Reta watch your back" the goblin maid says, and starts sneaking after the pimpled one. If Chuffy find something good in silo, he keep it all. Sneaky Chuffy. But Reta clever, Reta follow

Her own bow in hand, Reta follows Chuffy from distance, only making progress if the rogue moves. Should Chuffy go inside the silo, Reta hastily follows.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"Pssst, follow me squeally, we go find most truffles." Poog whispers to his pig animal companion, and sneaks through the brush, coming out towards the middle of the clearing.

Poog is no dummy, and even though he obliterated the longshanks, he is paranoid enough to wonder if there isn't someone, or something else out here. He sneaks carefully to make sure they really are alone when they get out into the field.

stealth, elixir of hiding: 1d20 + 9 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 10 = 38

What is Morgmurch doing?

What is Morgmurch doing?

"Rubbing my sword! *tee hee*" Chuffy shows his 'sword' to the GM.

Also, taking liberties with Poog...

Poog spot Chuffy stealing truffles: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Chuffy snickers as he gets away with it.

Oh, looks things to take to make Mogmurch most powerful gobo evar, and kill that Poog and take the stick that makes fire.

Reaching down through the chard rubble, he grabs 4 Alchemist's Fire. "Me makes lots 'o BOOMS with these." He continues shuffling through.

Oooh, look this. He picks up a wooden box w/ 1 pound cloves, and walks over to Chuffy.

"What you think this is? Well I know what this is. This is special magical powder, when you sniff make prick bigger. You need lot o' boxes, casue you have small prick. I sniff some, take Reta or whatever her name to go look for truffles. Be back. Maybe you play giggle pokes with Poog?"

Ok, now what does Mogmurch do in the "Bestest Truffle Field"?

At 13:00CDT (GMT-5) I will be moving things on... and your tokens will be as they lie.

Creeping along the tree line, trying to stay hidden, Mogmurch pulls out a bomb and readies it if he sees any signs of danger. Token updated

Stealth take 10: 28 = 28

Sorry about the delay... almost forgot about this today with all the crap going on at work!

Poog and Squealy
This towering oak casts shade over much of the clearing, its canopy taller than the other trees in the forest.

Poog Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Squealy Nord Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Poog and Squealy approach The Old Oak (where the best truffles are), they both notice that something is out of place... the vines surrounding the old oak are out of place... and appear to be moving!

Chuffy and Reta
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.

Meanwhile Chuffy gets up to the base of the silo, and hasn't noticed anything yet (nor has Reta, or Mogmurch -- too far away).

Combat!

Poog is up, as he notices the vines starting to unfurl menacingly.

"Bad Vines! You leave bestest truffles alone! Poog Buuuuuuuurrrrrrn you! Mwaaahahahahah!"

Poog shouts at the animated vegitation as he hooks his thumbs together and waggles his fingers, a fan of flames erupting from them and covering the vines.

Burning Hands, DC 14 reflex for half: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 2) = 11

FYI - knowledge nature to figure out what it is

vine reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
The fire crackles over the vines, but it seems that they are incredibly resistant to Zarongel's blessing. Only a few leaves crackle and wither... most of the fire does nothing to the vine.

First ,as a free action, it causes the grass and weeds to grow suddenly, grasping at Poog and Squealy. (everything inside of the dotted green circle)
Poog reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Squealy reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Entangled!

The vine reaches out with a branch, slamming into Poog. As it hits, it immediately starts wrapping the cleric of Zarongel up!

Vine Slam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 slam damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 grab: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Squealy then tries to break free.
strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 (fails)

Poog and Chuffy are up (even if Poog doesn't yell, Squealy squeals!

"Hehe... Hehe.. Poog gets giggle-pokes from a tree!"

Plants? Poogie attacked by vines? "Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!"

Chuffy rushes over to get a better view of the fun. He slows down when he enters the underbrush and attempts to hide himself from the plant attacking Poog.

Chuffy stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

Double move, slow to half speed and use the cover of a tree to enter stealth for the final 15 ft. Last 5ft of movement puts Chuffy within reach of the plant creature.

Kn Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"Why tree eat pig? Trees like bacon too?"

chuffy reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Chuffy enters the area of grasping weeds, but is not yet entangled by them.
if you enter the area, or end your turn in the area, you will need a reflex save or be entangled
chuffy reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Waiting on Poog

[dice=Kn Nature]1d20+9

"Why tree eat pig? Trees like bacon too?"

This gnarled vine, as thick as a man's arm and bearing hand-shaped leaves, convulses across the ground in an unnatural slither.

Sorry! Thought I was caught up.

"Sub-Chiefs get over here right now and kill this vine that is trying to kill your chief!!!!" Poog shouts, oblivious to the fact that his sub-chiefs may actually want him dead...

Poog wiggles and struggles, trying to break free of the vine's grasp.

"Run Squealy! Save yerself!" Poog manages to keep the panic out of his voice at his apparent lack of options when the vine doesn't wither to his fiery spell.

Break Grapple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Oh noes Zarongel! Don't let this be the end of your mighty servant Poog!

Oh Noes!!!! Poogie gonna die....

Poog struggles to get free, but fails.

Mogmurch is up.

Hmmm, maybe me take stick make fire, make big show of rescue big chief. Or maybe making fire just too fun.

Taking out a small boot, Mogmurch bites the top layer of leather off, and spits it out. Dipping a hand in the boot, it emerges in a grey ball of putrid looking clay. Mogmurch proceeds to rub it all over his armor, under his armpits, in his asscrack, licks some, and them smears the rest in his hair. Dark gray fumes can been seen rising in tendrils from the goblin, whether he is melting or it is just the salve he put on none know.

Move action, retrieve Defoliant Polish and apply.

This allows the wearer to move through terrain made difficult due to the presence of vegetation as if it were normal terrain, though the creature leaves a clear path of ruined vegetation. In addition, creatures belonging to the plant type that target someone protected by defoliant polish with a natural attack or grapple take 1 point of damage with each successful attack.

"Mogmurch ready now. be there in little time. Oh, missed a spot." He reaches in the front of his pants, and starts to rub. Moments later the assembled can hear squees of pain.

"AAAAOOOOOWWWWW. Burns, burns, burns."

Crap -- missed that the vine has constrict. not gonna fix it now, though.

The assassin vine squeezes Poog.
grapple to maintain: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 5 = 22 slam damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 constrict damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The Cleric of Zarongel goes down. The vine drops him, reaching for Squealy Nord.

Up are: Reta, Squealy, Poog, Chuffy

EDIT: Strike the drop -- it will do it on its next turn. Not intelligent.

Zarongel? Please don't let your precious Poog die. Bring him back so he may lead birdcruncher acolytes to glorious burning glories. This bed so soft though... Maybe Poog take a little nap for a while...

Spittle drains from the corner of Poog's mouth as his twisted and broken body is released by the grappling vine.

Squeally Nord lives up to his name, Squealing like mad as he sees his master go down. Unable to move, he bites and gnaws, trying to break through the vines.

Break Grapple vs CMD: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Despite the tangle at his feet, Chuffy hopes the vine has yet to see him and approaches from behind a tree (flanking with Squealy Nord in any case).

+1 dogslicer vs assassin vine (flat-footed?), flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + (2, 3) = 9 + 2 bleed;

FYI: I looked up plant traits (to help out) and apparently they're not immune to bleed damage (or sneak attack or precision damage). Strange, but there you go. They are immune to poison, though, so Chuffy just wasted 1 dose of spider venom.

"Take that, bad vine!" Chuffy jeers, "Chuffy will kill you!"

Reflex save vs Entanglement: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Edit on Squealy's action - he just attacks instead. Poog, you need to roll a stabilization.

Infuriated, Squealy moves forward, and bites hard.
bite: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Then, Chuffy moves up, now flanking, cutting deeply into the vegetation.

Reta is up.

stabilize con check, dc 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

-Posted with Wayfinder

Since the assassin vine is busy with crushing Poog, Reta sprints closer nocking an arrow as she goes. Once close enough to hit well, but far enough not to offer herself to be grabbed, she fires one arrow at the creature.

Plant.

Plant-creature, whatever.

Bow, PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30
Bow, PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 = 24
Damage : 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bonus damage if crit: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

"Ha! Reta kill you dead! "

Reta's arrow bites deeply, but the vine does not stop moving.

Nothing much happens, and then it is Morgurch's turn.

1d20 ⇒ 2

"Good shot, Reta!" Chuffy praises the warrior. Maybe if I compliment her, she play giggle-pokes with me and not break Chuffy Junior... again.

"Haw haw! Poogie and Moggie's fires do nothing, and Chuffy and Reta must save the day," Chuffy delights in his newfound ability to beat the big chief at damage output, "Ummm.... Squealy, don't tell Poogie that Chuffy said that when he wakes up. Nobody likes a squealer. No! Chuffy likes you... it's just a 'formal express on'. You know, like when you have to get dressed for a wedding really quickly..."
