Chuffy stops wriggling for a moment, looks at the eagles, looks at Poog, and whimpers.
"Cr@p..."
Fort save
Escape artist check
(If freed as a standard action in this,Bad obviously leaps out of the pie)
|
Chuffy wiggles and jiggles but it is of no use, at least he is only sweating and not burning.
Poog also seems rather resilient to the heat,but instead of fighting the rope, he calls to an eagle # who comes to his aide.
Reta, also struggles against the rope. On the bright side she also takes no damage.
Eagle IV comes to the aide of Poog and attacks the rope with its beak and talons. It weakens the rope to such an extent that Poog can escape in the next round.
Eagle II is getting quite ornery due to the heat and fully attacks a goblin next to him 1 Poog, 2 Badmucus, 3 Poog, 4 Reta, 5 Mogmurch
vs. Flatfooted Badmucus
Initiative
Chuffy, Poog, Reta, Eagle IV, Eagle II, Eagle I, Eagle III
Badmucus now in the throws of combat with an eagle breaks free from the rope and tries to hop out of the pie provoking an attack of Opportunity from Eagle II. All without getting burned.
The eagle misses, and Badmucus escapes the pie getting 10 points for the feat.
Eagle I attacks a flat footed and bound Mogmurch,
Eagle III attacks a flat footed and bound Reta,
Mogmurch mimicing his quicker clone frees himself from his bondage, and attempts an escape, provoking an attack from Eagle III. He is also unscathed by the heat and is given 5 points for his escape.
Round 2 initiative
Still tied up chuffy, Untied Eagle Homie Poog, bound Reta, and the Eagles IV, II, I, & III
Same thing Fort Save, Standrad Action, Move Action
"Ow! Ow!" Chuffy starts to feel the heat, which probably helps motivate him to slip his bonds and scramble out of the pie.
(Round 2)
”Raarrh!”, Bad shouts to the Birdcrucher crowd, then turns to the nearest eagle and sets it on fire.
Reta remains in the pie, unburned but unable to escape.
"Reta, big dummy, you has to get out of pie! Not just sit in it," Mogmurch laughs, shaking his head at his dumbest follower.
When the other goblins gathered around as they made their escape, Moggy looks at the others. "We need go get Reta. She ugly and stinky and dumb. But we need her to block weapons from hurting me. And me want to burn her, too," he smiles evilly as he waits for the others' thoughts.
Reta, having no hope of winning the moot, simply breaks her bonds and scrambles out of the dangerous eagle pie.
"Poog, tell birds to leave Reta 'lone. She already big looooser. No need to be birdfood too."
(GM - who else is still in? And does Bad lose points if he jumps back in?)
|
Finally seeing that Reta and he are obviously not in the BadChuffyMog club, Poog will go over and help her out, taking out his healstick and offering to help her out.
"Maybe we goin' bout this all wrong. Maybe, you an me, we not be the odd ones out this time if we scratch hind each others ear and watch out for each other?"
"Reta more scared of Mog than any Ogre..." she admits hesitantly.

The goblins roar and applaud in ways only goblins can do, As promised by Wise Mummy Sprattleharsh, the chieftain gets awarded the Crunchy Crown. This crown is a nonmagical hat, but nonetheless grants a +2 bonus on all Intimidate checks made against Birdcruncher goblins while it’s worn. In addition, the new chieftain and any subchieftains get to loot the tribe’s treasure chest.
"All hail Chief Badmucus, toughest, smartest and greatest of the Birdcrunchers."
She puts the crunchy crown on his head, and he looks as regal as a goblin can.
"Now you name your Sub Chieftans Chief Badmucus, and give them their new titles."
For the rest of the evening, the Birdcrunchers are in a celebratory mood—they have a new leader, after all! During this time, the chieftain and subchieftains/appointees are the focus of goblin pandemonium. Some of the subjects prostrate themselves before the new leaders, moistening their feet with kisses and runny noses (an obvious sign of mimicry of the new chief), while others scream and sob and bring gifts of food and offers of goblin "frolicking". Goblin after goblin comes forward to try to impress the new leader(s)—by juggling live stoats, by head-butting stumps, and particularly, by setting things on fire... themselves included.
”Wiyyaaahhh!!!”, Badmucus pumps his fist as the crown is granted, he does round high fours across the line of Birdcruchers - spreading the joy and mucus,”Yahhhh!!!!!”.
"Big Boss Bad give Birdcrucher Mini-Chieftans!" Bad shows off the group, "Prodigious Poog! Magnificent Morg! Ruthless Reta! and Stirge Slaughter Chuffy! Bring forth the sacred champion chest!" As offer of faith, and shamelessly buying loyalty, Bad gives first round picks to the others.
"Tomorrow, Big Bad Birdcrunch Battalion go kill some ogres!"

particularly large cache of treasure. Among the 840 gp in assorted coins, art objects, trophies, jars of pickles, shiny rocks, dented armor fragments, broken dogslicers, and bird parts in various stages of decay are the following items of particular interest: four potions of cure moderate wounds, a potion of fire resistance, a wand of lesser restoration (9 charges), a +1 flaming dogslicer, a Small cloak of elvenkind, a bead of force, a necklace of fireballs (type I), and 5 ounces of sovereign glue.
Chief Badmucus gives his lieutenants first choice on the contents of the box, so dig in and enjoy.
Remember, the Birdcrunchers expect their new leader to head out the
very next day to challenge and, hopefully, defeat or drive off the ogre known as Pa Munchmeat. So enjoy and heal up tonight and we can get Part 2 started.
Mog wants the fireball necklace!
"Badmucus swell guy. He might make good Chief. Better than Reta or Chuffy at least."
Chuffy wants the dogslicer, but knows Reta will likely kill him in his sleep for it, so instead he grabs a potion of cure moderate wounds and the bead of force.
Reta jumps on the dogslicer and almost impales herself in the attempt to secure it. "Badmucus not so bad as Chuffy said!"

Moggy puts on the neat necklace, and goes to the generous Chief. "Me like Badmucus now. We kill the ogre tomorrow!"
I kill Baddy last, if time comes...
The next norming Chuffy approaches Poog and begins the ritual groveling required for asking the cleric favors. "Chuffy beg Poog for healings. Chuffy take back all bad things talked about Poog! Poog shoulda been chief!"
Chuffy's ready, regardless of Poog's mercy.
