Gurp, you cracked me up today! Thank you!
I am loving the slug names.
It looks like we're slowing down for the holidays. Perhaps people are on the road? If so... Happy Holidays!
I may post in here later with some goblin-themed holiday poems and songs if I get a chance. I'll be away from keyboards for a large portion of Christmas Eve but will probably get a chance to check in once or twice.

Twitchy says, "Is that reindeer on the roof? Delicious!
Who says we don't get our holiday wishes?!"
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah and a Joyous New Year!
Hmm
Twas the Night After Gobfest and all through the town
Some Licktoads plotted and planned on burning things down.
This was not, of course, an unusual state,
For all goblins are pyros, I'm proud to relate.
The alchemist Twitchy was itching to attack
The house of the Head of the Goblin Games, Grack.
"Grack made us ride pigs!" she wailed to Gurp and to Ronk.
(The event had caused both gobs to fall with a bonk.)
Barbarian Ronk raged and charged little Squealy!
They fought with tusk and with club 'til with zeal he
Screamed, "Bacon!" as the crowd gathered round
And with one mighty blow the pig fell to the ground.
Their bellies they stretched with a porky Gob feast,
From the carcass of Squealy, the poor little beast!
"Grack made me eat slugs!" Twitchy remembered with dread.
"Slug-loving Gurp then slung curses at Twitchy's head!"
Gurp rode a giant slug named Squishy, covered in slime,
So slug-eating in his eyes was a terrible crime.
Twitchy turned to the bard Medge, "Grack made you climb trees!"
For the bard it was a memory that did not appease.
Medge fell multiple times from the tree most cruel
'Til yelling, "I hates you!" she challenged tree to a duel.
Bravely she fought. With tree cowed, she tried for the top!
Seeking glory, Medge climbed again with no drop.
Then came the second part of Medge's task -- getting honey
From a hive of bees; Grack thought that would be funny.
With the team's plans, Medge carefully smoked the hive.
Flamefinger brought honey down; Medge came back alive!
Better yet, from all their plotting and sneaky schemes
Came together the most cunning of goblin teams!
Brilliant!
Merry Gobfest to all and to all a dogfree night!!!!!!!!!!! Sqwuak!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-says Ben of the small wolfwakers tribe
Hey Ben --
You have a very cute avatar. Did your dad tell you that Twitchy rides around on a giant vulture called Fluffer? Maybe your Axe Beak and my vulture should get together sometime and play.
Gurp has an animal too. It's a giant slug named Squishy with a long slurpy tongue. It's very funny!
Merry Christmas! I hope you and your siblings get cool stuff in your stockings (but not while you're wearing them.)
Hugs,
Hmm
(also known as Twitchy.)
Paizo sent that out as a holiday card to customers last year I think.
I've been following Baldwin the Merciful's We Be Goblins Recruitment thread. He's picking people based on their goblin songs.
I posted a couple of Twitchy's songs in there, after making it clear that my post was a bump for his thread, not an application. I'm quite happily enjoying this game's play by post!
Still, it's been fun seeing the goblin songs that other people come up with.
Hmm
Sorry I haven't been around guys, I managed to get very sick a couple days before Christmas. I'm just starting to pull myself together so I should be posting soon!
Excellent! Welcome back, Medge!
There's still time to traverse the earbiter, make a snow gob, or have a snowball fight.
PS We're so glad you are feeling better. Big hugs!
Lots of big wam slug hugs!
Shouldn't Squishy be giving out those slug hugs? Though, I am not certain I'd want a hug from Squishy...
Okay, so we heard from Medge. Has anyone heard from Gurp or Flamefinger? I hope that they are just both swamped in family fun time rather than being sick or something.
Hmm
With any luck that is the case. They didn't have to travel did they?
I'm still here! Just a bit busy with family matters lately.
Good! Now all we're missing is Flamefinger!
Hey, here is a picture of a Winged Marauder!
It's not Twitchy, though.
Wolfwaker, I read about your upcoming trip in gameplay. I hope it's a good one! Is it for business or pleasure?
Business, going to a science conference (American Meteorological Society) in Phoenix.
Have fun!
To Wolfwaker: So you're a meteorologist? What an interesting and frustrating time to be in that field of study, especially with climate change. I hope that your conference is both interesting and informative.
Guys, do you think we'll be able to get started again after the New Year? The snow fights and musical interludes have been fun, but I'd love to have the story move forward again if we can.
Hmm

Heck yeah. We can't let this epic plotline go to waste :).
Paging Medge and Flamefinger, are you still with us? I know people may be out of their normal routine for the holidays. I'll post something tonight if I get a chance, and they can catch up when they are able.
Medge posted here on Saturday, saying that she was sick. I haven't seen anything from Flamefinger since before Christmas.
The tale of Ronk must be continued!
I am here! It's been a bit of a health odyssey for me, but I hope to make regular posts now. I'm going to a friends for a few days but I'm going to steal her computer so I can post ;)
Welcome back, Medge! I knew that you could show us up with the amount that you invested in escape artist!
Nicely done!
Hmm
I LOVE all the parody songs. I'm gonna have to write one myself...
Sorry, I didn't recognize that last one.
My son Ben is thinking about joining us. He is planning to make a shaman (of flames, naturally).
Congrats Medge! Everyone is doing better than poor Ronk. Wolfwaker I am not shocked it was not recognized, I moved on to Broadway. The original was from
Wicked, the song is called Popular.
I recognized the Wicked song -- love Broadway. I don't recognize the most recent. We may have to include links to original lyrics if we do any more parodies.
Medge, I cannot wait to see what you come up with.
Regarding Ben joining us: as far as I'm concerned, he's welcome so long as he can tolerate us singing all the time. :)
Hmm
Glad you did. The last one was when your evil by Voltaire. It sounded like a good idea, wither I executed that is up to debate. And I'm glad there is finally a completion for Ronk!
:: Throws confetti ::
Our whole team is back again!
Hmm

Hmm
He has really enjoyed reading the gameplay and the songs so I invited him to join. He is 12 in case you are wondering how old he is.
There could be no problem.
Yay another Goblin!
Will he rhyme with us?
That would be a major plus.
A 12 year old should be fine. My in-person Pathfinder group includes a number of kids his age, and they are great players.
We're honored that he wants to join us.
Hmm
That's great. I've run a few things at home for the boys and a couple of games that included one or two of their friends (this adventure, in fact) but we don't have a regular group.
Sure, the more the merrier! We're going to have a big goblin songbook by the time we're done lol

While I wait for parody inspiration to hit I figure I'd post this. It's the first song I wrote for Medge
A pirate ship is my home
I steal treasure and stab gnome
Stupid shark ate my leg,
But then I went and stabbed shark dead!
While cutting you down,
I like to sing.
If you're rich,
I'll steal your things!
Sneaky Medge knows lots of stuff,
In a fight she's really tough
Stupid longshanks she like to kill
Eating their toes and drinking their swill!
Happy New Year, Everyone!
Happy new year! I watched about 10 hours of football yesterday.
Posting may be sporadic (or maybe not) over the next week due to travel.
Now Ben says he doesn't want to join, so I will see if he changes his mind again.
Safe travels in the crazy winter weather.
While we are all waiting for our GM's safe return, let's talk about New Years. I'm pretty terrible about New Year's Resolutions, but there is one that I keep every year -- I try something new.
On January 4th I Gmed my first PFS game.
I had a table of seven people I had never gamed with before, and four of them were playing PFS for the very first time.
I was really happy that:
a) no one died
b) everyone had a good time
c) they were all playing classes I had read through, and for which I knew the crunch, so that I could give them the fluff!
We were playing one of those scenarios which were full of Mites.
The Mites had as standard tactics casting doom on PCs as they entered the room. The little guys were nothing if not consistent.
I thought... Okay if it's going to happen every time, I might as well liven it up a bit.
"You see some more mites."
"DOOOOOOOM! DOOOOOOOOOM!"
It got to the point where all the party would shout "DOOOOOOOOM!" and raise their hands high over their heads in jazz hands every time I uttered the sentence, "You see some mites."
It helped that the Mites's DC was laughably low -- a DC 10 -- so not that scary a threat, even at first level.
Hmm
So... we're back! Yay!
How was the conference, Wolfwaker?
How are my fellow gobs doing in real life? Anything interesting happening? It is getting to that part of winter in Minnesota where random bits freeze off our bodies and fall into snowbanks.
(That's why all Minnesotans keep glue in their pockets. To glue the random frozen bits back on. Of course, sometimes we glue them back in the wrong places, which is embarrassing. I think my nose is currently hanging from my ear.)
Hmm
I'm starting school back up and also house hunting for my first house with my wife. So nothin to exciting. ;p
Also, totally didn't know that I should have made multiple perception roles. Always assumed if I roles high enough it was for all of them. Oops.
By the way Twitchy, it's rather cold in Virginia right now as well.
Right now, I'm washing dishes at my parent's new restaurant and enduring temperatures that the south frankly shouldn't have. Not bad, all told.
