"Poog am Absolutely NOT here. Nope! Poog also hoping very very hard Reta not wearing stoopid white shawl from that one time. Poog thinks it makes Reta look like Sadako from another unrelated franchise."

Alright. Looks like we are all here.

You are goblins of the Licktoad Tribe. Or at least you will be someday. For now though, you're whelps-ravenous, amoral, grumpy goblin children who learned to stop eating rocks only a few months ago. But with every day that passes, your whelping cage seems smaller and smaller. The outside world increasingly beckons to your goblin curiosity (and appetite), but the hateful cage bars holds you at bay.

A few other whelps flourish in the cage, even as the smaller and weaker ones are thinned out. Kettlehead stands head and shoulders above the competition, being a goblin of impeccable flatulence and having already fashioned himself an impressive have from a teapot left lying too close to the cages. Even adult goblins- legendary Chief Rendwattle Gutwad among them- have taken note of Kettlehead and his advanced skills of poking the rest of you with sticks and delivering bruise-inducing noogies.

But today is special. Today, instead of a bucket of fish heads, whelp-wrangler Loptop brought a key and unlocked the door to your cage, spilling you sorry lot into the world for the first time. Other Licktoads gather around, eyeballing you and chewing on the fish heads that should have been yours. You all are too big for cages. Loptop snorts But your not Licktoads yet. Licktoads gotta be useful. Licktoads gotta be tough! Licktoads gotta earn their places in the tribe. And that's what you're gonna do now! Show us where you belong, even if that ends being in the boneyard!

Every goblin tribe has unique traditions to mark whelps' coming of age and to determine their roles within the clan. The Licktoads borrow a tradition used by nearby humans and force their young to earn a variety of so called "badges" by succeeding at arbitrary and cruel tasks. More than simple patches, Licktoad Badges are unique magic items, crafted largely through accident and goblin stubbornness that grant accident-prone whelps a few second chances at survival.

Whelp-Wrangler Loptop lines all of the goblin whelps up for assessment. He quickly excuses Kettlehead because of his obvious superiority and remarkable headgear. After a few awkward moments, the tribe gives the whelps four challenges, one at a time. A whelp can refuse a challenge but it is quickly followed by a pelting of mud and garbage from the crowd (1 point of damage)

Loptop speaks up once again. You must prove your mastery over dangerous creatures by tying this leash around a large spider down in the pits.

You can do this all at once. Need a DC 9 CMB to successfully wrangle the spider followed by a DC 12 Dex check to tie the secured knot.

Little Moggy confidently strides to the first challenge. He doesn't wait on the others, wanting all the glory for himself. He grabs the ropes and tries to truss the beast.

CMB 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (12) - 3 = 9

Dex check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"Woo hoo! Moggy am best! Other whelps am ugly and stinky, not in good way! Moggy eats fish heads as bestest goblin!"

cmb check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

dex check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

When Moggy is done and the beast available for another challenge, Chuffee slips into the pit and ropes the beast for himself.

"Silly MOggy... you may be fastest, but not bestest... Me just as good as you... better even. Chuffy do it with panich... spinach... oh heck... Chuffy make it look easy."

CMB vs Spider: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (11) - 3 = 8
Dex DC 12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Poog approaches the spider, giving it the old stinkeye, before leaping in an attempt to get atop it. "POOG DOES IT LIKE A FLY GUY!!!!

Unfortunately, not only does Poog completely miss the spider, he lands face first in a small puddle of mud. "Mmmm. Wet dirt! Poog can't remember last time he had wet dirt to eat."

The spider lurches out of Poog's grasp and bites the goblin.

Spider bite vs Poog AC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Take 1 damage and 1 strength damage. DC 10 Fort save to negate strength damage

You can try again if you wish.

"Hahaha, Poog big loser! Try ride it, Poog! Poog am fall down again!". Moggy was having a great laugh at Poog's expense.

Gimme dat dumb spider!

CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Dex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Ahaha, Reta worse than Poog! Moggy am not think that possible! Put Reta and Poog back in cage..."

What you say? Shut up, Butterfly-Face!

Reta's balloon-headed face turns purple at Mogmurch's insults and she lashes out, trying to eye gouge him.

Dirty Trick, Blind vs Mogmurch: 1d20 ⇒ 8

I know there's no PvP in PFS, but what's a few CMB checks among gobbo friends? GM, please let me know if that's not allowed.

"Fat Head Reta too am slow to catch Moggy," the scoundrel says, fleeing from the larger female.

Chuffy and Mogmurch quickly show their skills as they wrangle the spider and tie a leash around its body without getting bit.

Poog and Reta on the other hand come out with a few scrapes and bruises.

Bite vs Reta AC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Take 1 damage and 1 strength damage. DC 10 Fort save to negate strength damage

Poog and Reta can try up to three times if you wish.

FS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Dex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Reta scowls at Mogmurch, pouncing on a spider and tying it quickly, ignoring its bite and venom.

Fortitude (DC10): 1d20 ⇒ 7

"Poog feeling woozy... Was that mud poisoned?" our goblin wonders out loud in a pitiful, accusing tone.

Shaking his head to clear it (and liberally dousing the others with mud) Poog goes in for another attempt!

CMB: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (12) - 3 = 9
Dex Check!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

'LOOK ZARUNGEL! POOG WRANGLE UP THE MIGHTY BEAST! ALL HAIL POOG! AndZarungeltoobuthisinvolvementhereisonlytangentialsomostofthecreditismine"

"Woo! It about time. Moggy am getting sleepy over here. Good job, good effort!". The mouthy goblin gives a mocking slow clap of appreciation.

"You shut your round fish-face! Poog remember first time you eat fish head and choke on it! Small-mouth! Small mouth with stoopid head" huffs Poog with gusto.
Edited, because I just remembered, Poog isn't the smart one.

"Bah! Poog use words too big for his mouth... what you talkin' 'bout?"

The crowd cheers as all four of the goblins receive their first whelpling badges.

Each of you receive the Licktoad Badge. This is a one time use at any point in the scenario. Following a successful attack roll against a creature of the animal type, the user of the Licktoad Badge increases her damage by 1d6 points. Not doubled on a critical hit. User can decide to use the badge after rolling normal damage first.

Loptop immediately moves onto the next task. Next you whelps must compete in Happy Beat! The crowd roars in excitement. You must injure yourselves in creative ways for the tribes delight!

Each attempt to injure yourself deals 1d3 points on non-lethal damage to himself. Especially creative ways deal an additional 1 or 2 pts of damage. You can make the injury entertaining with a DC 15 Bluff check or Cha check gaining a bonus equal to the amount of non-lethal damage sustained. You can retry as long as you remain conscious.

Chuffee faces the crowd of onlookers and squeezes, popping King Bubble all over them spraying the crowd with his pus.

taking non-lethal damage himself: 1d3 ⇒ 2

cha check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11

Then he takes his sharpened rock and uses it to knock out a tooth he didn't need anyway, besides it was hurting him but he'd never tell them that... He walks up and down in front of the crowd, displaying the bloody tooth and grinning to show off the empty spot it came from in his mouth...

taking non-lethal damage himself: 1d3 ⇒ 2

cha check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (11) - 2 = 9

Then he uses the same sharpened rock to remove the nail from his big toe... "OWIE!!!" He flings the toenail into the crowd.

taking non-lethal damage himself: 1d3 ⇒ 1

cha check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

While none of his attempts are PARTICULARLY entertaining above their intrinsic nature, He manages to stay on his feet (unless you decree they do the extra damage) and stagger off leaving the 'stage' to the others...

Call him old fashioned if you want, but Moggy enjoyed the classics. He turned and bowed to the crowd, blew a raspberry at the other three and sprinted headlong into the closest tree trunk available.

Non lethal 1d3 ⇒ 2

Cha check plus character boon plus Nonlethal damage taken 1d20 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) - 1 + 2 + 2 = 16

Did I do that right, DM? If so, I made the check. I'll save the gloating to be sure I did it correctly.

Reta breaks into a run, attempting to do a front flip and land on her head. Her foots slips before she can attempt a good and dangerous flip,though.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

nonlethal: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Cha with boon: 1d20 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 2 + 2 + 1 = 5

She roars in frustration at the patch of mud that she slipped on and bashes her own head into the ground, this time with much better results.

nonlethal: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Cha with boon: 1d20 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 + 2 + 2 = 22

yes, That is correct Mog

The crowd looks disapponted at Chuffy's display as a sharpened stone strikes him in the head.

NL damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

The goblin begins to bleed as he slumps unconscious onto the ground. The crowd begins to go wild and applaud at the same time as Mogmurch and Reta do much better.

Poog is up

Poog repeatedly bashes his head into the trunk of a nearby tree. "Must. Make. Head. Less. Round!"

Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Cha Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Poog shows them all how to do it as he runs right into a tree, breaking a tooth loose.

Each of you receives another badge, well most of you Loptop just kind of drapes Chuffy's badge across his unconscious face.

Happy Beat Badge. One time effect. Gain DR/5- against a single attack, and is hurled 5 feet away from his attacker in whatever direction the goblin chooses, landing on his feet.

A few goblins rush in and slap Chuffy awake again as they pour a bit of gruel down his throat.

Next event be the Hurtful Words! To prove your wit, even in the face of extreme pain you must deliver a clever insult while chewing on a hot stone plucked from the firepit. Loptop says as he points to a small smoldering pit.

A whelp must succeed at a DC 8 Fort save to hold the hot stone in her mouth. Calling out a clever insult requires an additional DC 14 Int check. You can retry as many times as possible but each round the Fort save increases by 1. If you fail the Fort save you can no longer try anymore.

You, you, you, smell like horse farts! And, and, and, you kiss dogs' ears! And, and, ow!

FS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

FS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

FS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Moggy carefully looked for the smallest rock he could find, and pops it in his mouth.

Fort save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Int check 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

"Too hot, too hot! Dumb rock! Moggy don't want win dumb challenge! Let dumb Poog and Chuffy win dis one!"

"Ha, ha, Poog show sleepy Mogmurch who da bestest ever!"

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Int: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

"Your mama so fat, she fat! She so ugly she look like Longshank baby! She so HOT! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT" finishes Poog, who spits his hot stone out.

Chuffy wrinkles his nose and says as he pops a small hot stone in his mouth, "You smell like an elf farted you out!"

fort save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
int check: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Unfortunately, while his insult is good enough, he spits out the rock while shouting it, and yelps in pain as he burns his lips.

All four of the young whelps spit out the hot rocks as large blisters begin to form over their mouths making it difficult to speak, though it is hard to tell what is exactly blisters on Chuffy.

Loptop laughs are your obvious pain and embarrassment in front of the entire tribe. Stupid whelps! This one be easier for you. To prove your nimbleness on this last challenge you must dig worms out of the mud without using your hands or feet.

Must succeed at a DC 12 Perception check to find a worm in the mud. Once you find a worm you have to avoid swallowing it with a Dc 14 Reflex. If fail either you swallow a mouth full of mud. You can try up to three times before you feel sick and too full to try any further.

perc: 1d20 ⇒ 7
reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

perc: 1d20 ⇒ 1
reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

perc: 1d20 ⇒ 15
reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Chuffee has trouble even finding a worm in the mud, but finally succeeds in finding one and slurping it out of the mud without swallowing it.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"Woo hoo! Moggy am did it on first try! Bet Poog eats more mud today!"

Perception 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Reflex 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Keen-eyed Reta spots a fat worm immediately, seizing it and spitting it deftly toward Loptop.

"Come on Poog, if Chuffy can do it, so's can youse. Or is me better than you is?"

"Poog is just waiting for Zarungel to give sign that now is the right time. OOOooH! IT'S NOW!"

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"That didn't count!"

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

"Or that!"

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"HUURG!" our fearless goblin exclaims as vomit spews forth everywhere, under Zartungel's watchful eye.

"I MEAN TO DO THAT!"

"Poog am blind and hungry... He finally seez a worm and eatems it all up. Poog am stoopid gobbo."

Moggy falls over clutching his side at Poog's abject failures. "Hahahahahah, worst goblin ever am Poog! Poog am better as dog! Woof woof, Poog..."

Everyone but Poog is congratulated as they receive their final badges.

This be the Badge of the Squirmtongue!

User of this bade can reroll a single saving throw he just failed but immediately falls prone.

Finally free from the whelping cage, the bright eyed hopefuls have only one task left before they are recognized as full-fledged goblins by the Licktoad Tribe.

You maybe think you be tough because you got out of your baby cage, whelps? Psht! You no be goblins. The only real goblins are Licktoads, and a Licktoad with out a toad is just.... lick. SO. If you want to be Licktoads, you need to catch a toad at Tadpole Bog and also not die. Then you take the toad to Cave of Darkfear and also not die. Then you show your toad to Darkfear Spirit, and maybe if you really are goblin, then you also not die. Get toad. Show Spirit. Kill anything that wants to stop you. Don't die. That last part is very important. You leave in morning.

Loptop sketches out a crude map, showing the location of Tadpole Bog and the Cave of Darkfear. Turning Loptop allows Kettlehead and his followers to leave immediately.

In the morning all of your wounds are healed.

In the morning you are shooed away out of the Camp and begin to make your way towards the Tadpole Bog. The occasional lazy bubble breaks the surface of this shallow, stinky pond, and a haze of insects clouds the air in every direction. Only the occasional gurp-chirp of toad song breaks through the drone of bugs. The muck stagnant waters are thick with algae and insect larvae making it ideal breeding ground for a particular nonplussed species of toad whose psychoactive secretions have helped the goblins pass boring afternoons for decades. The water is only a foot deep and the goblins are light enough to not pass through the layer of peat at the pond's bottom.

To catch a toad you need a successful DC 15 CMB. You can increase your chances witha little cunning by using special tactics such as climbing to higher ground, making toad calls or using stealth with a Dc 12 of the appropriate skill gaining a +2 to your CMB.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Moggy quickly grabs the case with the seven darts. He stows them in his dirty bag, for use the next morning.

As he leads the others, he instructs them on swamp life. "King am top smarterest. Then Moggy. Then Lizards and bugs and stuff. Then you. You three need be real loud, like Reta am always is. Frogs love loud."

If the others comply, Moggy moves to the other side of the swamp and tries to Stealth to improve his chances at getting one.

Stealth 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

CMB 1d20 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) - 3 + 2 = 9

perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11

Chuffee finds nothing before setting out...

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

cmb: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 + 2 = 15

Once he arrives at the bog he slips into shadows and sneaks up on a nice fat toad... and pounces on it!!!! It almost slips through his fingers, but because he surprised it so thoroughly, it fails to wriggle away and he maintains his grip on it... Wanting so bad to be a licktoad, he licks it from tail to head!

He plops the toad into the same bag he keeps his yummy earthworm in and heads for the cave... (or are we supposed to wait til everyone has a toad and go the cave as a group?)

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Reta spies Mogmurch finding some darts and inspects the area, her search efforts much less subtle. She rips off a table leg and swings it around gleefully. She then pries off the dart case and slings it over her arm like a makeshift shield. I'll adjust my AC in my sig

Sense Motive vs Mog: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Hmm, good advice, Moggy! Reta is the best and loudest toadsinger of all the Licktoads! Watch!

Reta warbles a hideous tune, scratching out a cacophonous melody that, she believes, brings the biggest toads to the surface.

Perform (Sing): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

CMB to catch a toad: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Poog discretely snatches a table leg to use as a club. Poog get vengeance, heh heh heh.

Once arrived at the swamp, Poog gleefully listens to Mogmurch, and then ignores his advice completely. Taking pieces of his half-eaten banana, he attempts to lure a frog into view, all the while imitating the sound of what he think a lady frog might sound like.

Bluff: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

CMB: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (20) - 3 = 17

GM, I just realized the Poog had a bonus on the blistering words contest that I had not factored in (+2 to those checks). It changes one of the checks to a success. What would you like to do?

"POOG IS MIGHTY LICKTOAD!!! he cries out, brandishing his newfound frog.

Everyone now has a frog but Moggy. Moggy is now sulking in the nasty swamp.

GM, I just realized the Poog had a bonus on the blistering words contest that I had not factored in (+2 to those checks). It changes one of the checks to a success. What would you like to do?

banish Poog to the Birdcruncher Tribe :) Nah. Go ahead and get the badge also :)

Three of the four goblins hold their toads in the air in delight as Mogmurch kicks at teh swamp water. As he does his foot slams into something metal causing him to yelp in pain and distress. A small trickle of blood runs down his foot. Surely it will get infected like the best of them. Perhaps Mogmurch will get lucky enough to have it amputated later.

Digging furiously in the mud Mogmurch finds a dogslicer! Digging a small bit further he finds two pickled corpses in teh waters below. This must have been former goblin heroes Hefty Smurget and Never-Trims-Her-Toenails Grom. Digging them up Mogmurch finds:

• a second dogslicer
  
• javelin
  
• grappling hook
  
• unholy symbol of Zargonel
  
• Wooden Spoons (2)
  
• Dead Moles (2)
  
• Jar of pickled Fishheads

You can continue to try for a toad as much as you want MOgmurch, or until you want to give up.

Mog shows the others all the neat trinkets he found. Moggy kept a dogslicer for his very own and takes a dead mole for dinner. He turned to the others.

"Moggy not good frog chaser. But Moggy am good at finding. Will trade all this good stuff for one measly frog. Alive frog, of course. Any takers?"

cmb: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

Chuffy reaches into the mud and pulls out a toad easily.

"Me trade you for that stuff, yes?" He holds out the toad enticingly, but with a firm grip on it.

Moggy nods. "Take the stuff and give Moggy the frog!". He conducts the exchange.
