We be 5uper Goblins! (PFS PbP Gameday VII) 6 Oct 18 (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

How do you want to approach the tower? It can be approached stealthily, openly while keeping an eye out for the dogs, or from the lake if you were to, say, use the pigments to draw a boat.

Stealthily?

Chuffy can do stealth, but I'd hate to waste our new bait/scouts.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Poog sneaks forward!

Fnub and Hoblob try to be stealthy too. They do a pretty good job, in fact -- better than Poog whose chainmail clinks and clanks no matter how much he tries to quiet it. Everyone who hasn't yet please make stealth checks.

The team circles around the lake to the east, and approaches the tower with as much stealth as they can muster. From a closer view, it seems unfinished. A broad cylinder of 50 feet high and 50 feet wide stands at the edge of the lake, with a spiral of stairs winding around it up to... nothing. The flat top of the tower looks like someone simply stopped building it -- or possibly, drawing it -- when they became bored, tired, or ran out of materials.

A long stone dock juts out into the lake, and a boathouse sits nearby. The house offers a chance to approach with some degree of cover. Maybe you haven't already been seen, heard, or smelt. Worth a try, right?

The two younger goblins tag behind the four of you, and look scared.

Perception : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

”Hey! Three longshanks ahead is!! Pssssstt ... “ Poog says silently.

Stealth 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Chuffy puts a little distance between him and the less sneaky goblins putting him in a better position to backstab anything that comes after the 'scouts'.

The voices are not speaking in common or varisian, the longshanks languages you are most familiar with.

"We sneak, sneak on them and hack them to pieces?"

”Yes, yes!! Hack and shack!“

Bumping as it’s been a week ..

bumping again

Sorry! Kind of crashed after the holidays and lost all energy to do stuff. I will keep this going and make more posts tonight.

From the top of the 50 foot open tower peers down the face of an emaciated, hairless canine. It calls down in goblin! "That is the ugliest damn mermaid I have ever seen!" He refers to Fnub emerging from the lake wearing the cloak. Soon another canine appears, then a third. "I thought it was a pile of seaweed..." The other says solemnly and bored. "Took some golden knife from it as it was floating there." They must be referring to Fnub's half of the golden shears!

Chuffy keeps sneaking and tries to get around behind on the other side of the tower, leaving a trail of puss behind him, muttering to Stinkrush about how fun it will be to ambush all the dogs while they are shooting at everyone else.

stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35

He then uses his magic crayons to make nice ladder spokes up the back side of the tower.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Poog sneaks forward and thinks ... It like almost seem as if world stopped moving and time not flow anymore! It must be so GM Tyranius Zarongel him self with fire in blood now push us forward so we reach goal of making longshanks bleed. Ha ha ...

Moggy has never seen a dog speak goblin before. He assumed they probably tasted pretty good, and was hopefully to find out. ”Dogs. Come down here. Moggy want talk with you!”

Greta takes out her bow and knocks an arrow. "Come closer,closer. I will spit, spit you!"

Chuffy is able to draw a strange looking ladder on the side of the tower that he begins to climb while the dogs don't notice him and continue speaking with the others.

"Too far. You come up here?" One says lazily. Another spits and growls. "And yer father smells of Elderberries. Go away now or I will taunt you a second time."

”How Moggy supposed to get up there, dummies! Stupid dogs, of course not know anything,” Moggy keeps the discussion going while Chuffy sneaks about to do his thing.

Actually he was going to do a couple of things before starting his climb:
1) Apply poison to his blades.
2) Drink a haste potion.

That's fine Chuffy. What do you wish to do?

Chuffy prepares himself for mayhem and climbs quietly (but quickly as he has haste going) up the ladder, a dogslicer in his teeth, trying not to chortle with glee.

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27

4 rounds of haste left. Does he need to make a climb roll with a nice ladder there?

No need on the climb roll. What do you plan on doing up there? Also what do the rest of you plan on doing down below as you are speaking with the talking dogs?

Moggy is trying to keep the attention of the dogs on him while Chuffy climbs up to chop, slice, dice, and filet.

Greta will take her time and shoot at the dog.
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d4 ⇒ 1
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d4 ⇒ 4
Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 122d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

So how many of them are there? Naturally he intends to sneak up on one and slit its throat (multiple times) while the others are looking away. Provided he can reach it. Might have settle for a stomach wound or hamstring if he cannot. Nothing like watching a dog flop around on the ground without being able to use its legs. The thought brings a smile to Chuffy's evil face.

There are three on the map that you can see.

Not knowing what to do Poog becomes impatient.

”Zarongel fire send? I throw now!?“

Full Attack: +1 dogslicer +8 (1d4/19–20), mwk dogslicer +8 (1d4-1/19–20)

The small group of goblins springs their surprise attack on the dogs while Mogmurch keeps them distracted. Chuffy stabs into one of the hounds with his blade as he slices and dices it. The hound falls in a flurry of attacks.

Reta fires an arrow up to the top of the tower. If sticks into the hounds neck, but seems to have no lasting effect on it.

Dogs

Reta
Mogmurch

Does poison last for more than one strike?

Poog starts casting and sends a sound burst on the dogs.

sonic damage, DC15 Fort or stunned 1 rd : 1d8 ⇒ 2

You might need to pick a different spell. The GM said that it is a 50' tower. A fireball would work though and if you have to get Chuffy in the area, that's OK with me, though I'm thinking he could be excluded.

Poison only lasts for the first strike, unless you have some effect such as sticky poison.

@Poog- Chuffy is right. The tower is 50 feet up and at your level the spell can only reach 40 feet.

Very sorry!!

Fireball DC 16 : 6d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 6, 6, 5) = 25

Reflex Green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Reflex Yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

A small bead flings hiiiiggggh into the air and explodes like a firework. Flames encompass the pair of hounds as both are severely burned and look near to falling over.

The dogs regain their bearings as the blast catches them by surprise. One begins to bay and yelp in pain.

@Everyone- Need to make a DC 12 Will save or become panicked for 2d4 rounds.

The second hound leaps at Chuffy, biting at his arm. "Why would you attack us?!"

Sinister Bite vs Chuffy AC 22: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Chuffy escapes just in the nick of time as he gets out of reach of the emaciated hounds jaws.

Round 2

Dogs (Green -25)(Yellow -12)

Reta
Mogmurch

Will1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Moggy wasn’t sure what that sound was the dog person made, but he wasn’t a fan. He began running in the opposite direction for 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 rounds.

Will ST: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Chuffy launches himself from the tower, bouncing a few times when he lands, before getting his feet under him and running at full (hasted) speed into the distance for for: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 rounds.

"I HATE DOOOOGS!"

Will : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Poog moves forward and casts produce flame!

”Zarongel burn flesh!!“

flame 1/5, touch @green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Chuffy fall damage: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 2, 6) = 19

Chuffy and Mogmurch take off sprinting away from the tower as the howling from the hounds scare the hell out of the goblins. Poog produces a small ball of flames and hurls them up at the wounded dog's backside. The dog catches on fire and begins to run around in pain, ceasing it's howling as it falls to the ground, breaking its neck.

Round 2

Mogmurch (Panicked 4 rounds)

Will: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 = 19
Greta laughs atthe feeble fear spell and nocks another arrow.
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 211d4 ⇒ 1
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d4 ⇒ 1

When we first arrived we fell from the sky and bounced on the ground. In fact, Chuffy had been planning on deliberately jumping from a tower for fun. Has the ground changed in this area?

You are correct. you are under a constant effect of Feather Fall.

Not having any real fight for some time and not exactly wishing to die the small hound takes advantage of this opportunity and takes to the air himself, flying off into a wooded patch of trees in the distance as it retreats to lick it's wounds.

Reta fires an arrow off that strikes it but overall doesn't seem to wound it at all. DR.

After a couple of minutes the panicked goblins soon return to scavenge their victory. The yeth hounds mostly hoard anything they could get their paws on, but they also have a cracked ring of shooting stars (can only cast dancing lights 1/hour; no other functions remain), and Fnub’s piece of the golden shears.

What is left to explore?

"Dogs silly! Dogs dead!"

Poog is super crazy and wants to see the dogs dead! :-) He will use his remaining produce flame rounds to fire.

Poog starts shooting fire at the dog!

flame 2/6, touch : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
flame 3/6, touch : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
flame 4/6, touch : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
flame 5/6, touch : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
flame 6/6, touch : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"Burn for you steal all magic items of tribe! I you make go to Zarongel!!!"

Poor Poog. The remaining dog ran away into the woods to lick its wounds. But you might get lucky and set the woods on fire!

the golden shears quietly disappears into Chuffy's possessions, preferably before anyone else claims it, but even if.

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39
or
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

I believe all you have left is Golbert's Cave!

Heading to the cave you continue the hunt for the remaining shear. Behind you part of teh forest begins to ignite as smoke rises in the distance. Standing at the entrance water drips from strangely colored moss growing along this cavern’s ceiling, lending the room a lovely smell of damp decay.
