We be Goblins! (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Having already slipped on the ring, Chuffy is ready to go.

"Poog is ready to slice some dogs!"

"Anyone want swapsies? Mogmurch likes burn better than cut..."

The journey to the fireworks stash, as indicated on the map, is relatively short—a slog not quite a mile-long through the swamp along the creek’s southern bank. The journey takes only an hour to make. The marsh itself is relatively difficult to navigate, with numerous stretches of deep water that must be skirted and thick tangles of stinging nettles. On the way to the stash they encounter a giant spider which is known to the goblins as "Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many".

Initiative:
Init. Spider: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Init. Greta: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Init. Chuffy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Init. Poog: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Combat starts

Combat order:
Mogmurch
Greta
Poog
Chuffy
Giant Spider

I will wait for everybody to finish their turn and post a turn summary after that.

Greta looks for a moment Horried at the "Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many". She looks around and says we fight, we win we heroes. Delay action to after Chuffy.

How far away from us is the giant spider?

You were to fast :D I just updated the map, link is in my header row.

Mogmurch cackles and flings a bomb at the spider, his aim is dead on and flames crackle over flesh, "Lotsalegs be a learning Mogmurch best at burning!"

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Fire Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Poog never slice spider...weird..."
Poog draws his weapon and defends.

Greta happily jumps and draws her bow:"We fight and become heroes!
Attack Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d6 ⇒ 3
Seeing its just a glancing blow she curses eavelly but prepares to fight again. Taking a 5 foot step back!

Seeing that they have the drop on the spider, Chuffy smiling wickedly, take a 5 foot step forward and drawing a dart, hurling it at the unprepared long-legs weak squishy bits.

Dart Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d3 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (1) = 3

Good hit... Terrible damage.

Mogmurch's bomb bursts directly on the Giant Spider's head, covering it with flames. Poog decides to wait and see what the spider's doing next. He stands firmly and holds his weapon high. Chuffy stabs the spider in her chest, she shrieks and shakes her body. Greta lets loose an arrow at the spider, but it went through between the spider's legs.

The Giant Spider makes a charge attack against the closest goblin, Chuffy.

Bite Charged Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

But Chuffy is fast enough dodge under the spider's fangs.

New round

Order:
Mogmurch
Poog
Chuffy
Greta
Giant Spider -6HP

Greta drops her longbow and circles the spider intend to flank it. "I will Kill-kill you beast!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3Her slash bouncing off the spiders hide she bars her teeth in frustration

Mogmurch draws his shiny new slicer and circles around behind the spider to offer Poog a flank.

"Poog's turn!" Poog will move to the spider's side and attack.
[dice=Attack]1d20 + 3 Whoosh! My ability to roll ones works online. Great.

"Poog's turn!" Poog will move to the spider's side and attack.

[dice=Attack]1d20 + 3 Whoosh! My ability to roll ones works online. Great.

I rolled a one before and accidentally killed the expression and don't know how to fix it.

Grabbing the flank opposite Greta, Chuffy draws his dogslicer and stabs up at the spider!

Dogslicer Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d4 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (4) = 6

The spider still burning shakes her body to remove the fire.
Fire Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The four goblins surround the Spider, but no one is able to hurt her. Poog was so nervous that he targeted in the wrong direction, Chuffy hit the spider but his dogslicer didn't make it through the Spiders shell. Greta shot another arrow which hit the spider but did not harm her.

Bite Attack Chuffy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Sorry, but I'm not sure about the bomb, does the Spider catch on fire or not? Couldn't find something in the rules :/

Round 3

Order:
Mogmurch
Poog
Chuffy
Greta
Giant Spider -9HP

"Poog will hit this time..."
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 151d4 ⇒ 4

It's just fire damage, I don't think that means it'll catch fire

Mogmurch stabs at the spider excited to use his new sticker, but too unpractised with weapons to come close to worrying the giant arachnid.

Only the alchemist's fire does that, and I'll ensure I post the relevant info when I use it :)

Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Ok, thanks for the hint and sorry for that. It's the first time I see bombs in action. I'll correct the spider's HP.

Order:
Mogmurch (stab)
Poog (stab)
Chuffy
Greta
Giant Spider -10HP

Dogslicer Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d4 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (5) = 7

Chuffy gives another swing in with his dogslicer, gritting his teeth with malice and frustration.

Chuffy gave another swing with the dogslicer and finally cut off the head of the Giant Spider.

Combat over

You can now either follow the spider's tracks (DC 10 survival check) to her lair or continue your trip to the firework stash.

"Mogmurch wants to eat spider eggs! Mogmurch does not want this Chuffy you take, fire is more betterest!" The skull masked goblin says handing Chuffy the Gorge of Gluttons. He then begins following the spider's tracks cackling to himself.

+1 Horse Bane Dogslicer.

Taking 10 for a 13 on survival.

Lotslegs’ lair is not far from her ambush Point — about 200 feet directly south of the creek. The lair itself consists of a deadfall of several old trees. Scattered amid the trees are dozens of bodies, some of which are goblins, but a few of which are humans.

"Ha, Mogmurch is well better than you - because you is dead!" Mogmurch declares proudly, kicking a nearby corpse. He begins a search for valuables that does not highly prioritize respect for the dead, looking for some spiders eggs to slurp.

Take 20 on perception for a 19.

The goblins search the bodies and find the following:

Small Masterwork Crossbow + 11 Bolts
A single pearl
2 potions of cure moderate wounds
1 potion of bull's strength
1 potion of bear's endurance
6 pcs. of licorice-flavored tuffy (to remove any lingering sickness effects from last nights bonfire)
4 spider eggs

Greta looks at the crossbow and snatches it quickly.. sweetly stroking it.
If someone else wants it just tell me! She would also offer to trade the potion against the dogslicer, as mogmurch can´t use it.

Poog grabs one spider egg then spots the pearl. "Shiny!" He grabs the pearl and stares at it.

Mogmurch stuffs one of the eggs into his mouth crunching it with enthusiasm, and taking one of the cure potions.

Dog Slicer seems best for Chuffy since he seems the most melee orientated. Mogmurch has acid, alchemists fire, and bombs, I am pretty spoiled for fun stuff already :)

Cheers Mogmurch

Chuffy takes the dogslicer and slashes it viciously through the air.

"Chuffy is the Spider Slayer!"

Following the others to the lair, new dogslicer in hand, Chuffy joins in searching the bodies.

I wouldn't mind the a potion of cure moderate wounds. Chuffy ain't great at taking hits!

Please tell me when you are ready to continue the trip to the firework stash.

Greta finds the potion of bulls strength and smiles Greta big and strong!
Maybe we distitribute the eggs (one for each) the potions and move on.
Chuffy, do you prefer the x-bow or the dog slicer? Then greta goes melee!

I can get more sneak attacks in close combat than I can with a ranged weapon, so the dogslicer is better for me. I'm ready to carry on.

Ok then we are fine. Cause then I go ranged with the x. bow from now on,too.

Yeah Chuffy looks geared for melee greta for range to me.

Mogmurch sets off for fireworks again taking a mouthful of pickled slugs to pass the time an d feeding one to his pet toad.

Poog stomps his foot impatiently. "Are you ready to go yet?

I think we are gtg

The four hero goblins continue their trip to the indicated point on Scribbleface's map. When they are at the spot, they hear the faint susurrus of waves crashing on an unseen swampy shoreline. The site itself is obvious once it is approached—a large wrecked ship lodged in a shallow pool of swamp water.

A two-masted ship lies mired in the mud in this clearing, its rigging thick with moss and decorated with lanterns and windchimes made from goblin skulls and bones. Strange writing is faintly visible along the ship’s prow, while the soggy, swampy “yard” that surrounds the wreck is encircled by a rickety wooden fence. A thin curl of smoke wafts up from a chimney that protrudes from an unusual box-like structure near the ship's bow.

I will update the map in about one hour. You are in front of the gate on the west side of the fence.

Greta looks at Chuffy and says:"You go sneaky sneaky and check we wait here!

"Mogmurch calls Captain - got eyepatch to so official," Mogmurch whispers loudly.

Chuffy ducks down and scouts around the area, getting an idea of what awaits them, dogslicer gripped in hand.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Oh come on... a 2? Dammit dice.

Chuffy smells something, but he can't see it. He knows that there is a creature, but he doesn't know where. He sneaked past the fence and suddenly he saw it: a horse is standing in the mud on the far side of the ship.

Creatures perception check:
See Chuffy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

The creature is not aware of Chuffy or one of the other goblins.

Suppressing his desire to stab the horse there and then, just to disprove what Greta had said the previous night, Chuffy circles back to the others.

"Chuffy see's a horse, it's a big 'un and I can stick it good. I smeak back up and stab it, then you come and we all stick it together?" Chuffy waves the dogslicers menacingly in his hands, nodding the other goblins before sneaking back round to the horse.

Chuffy is gonna try to sneak up on the horse, coming up behind it so when the other goblins attack he's already on the flank. He'll go for a sneak stab on the surprise round if he makes it in.

Stealth to flank horse: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Stomp Stealth Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

The goblin makes his way around the ship, behind the horse for a sneak attack.

Surprise Round

Init. Greta: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Init. Chuffy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Init. Poog: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Init. Mogmurch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Init. Stomp: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

S. Round Order:
Poog
Greta
Stomp - surprised
Chuffy
Mogmurch

Should we be closer to the horse on the map?

UGLY STOMPER.I will killlll you!
waiting for chuckto attack she loads her shiny new x-bow.

The only one close to the horse is Chuffy. As I understood you were waiting outside the fence while Chuffy tried to sneak around the horse. If you want to be closer to it, you can do two move actions in the surprise round or one move action and then attack with a ranged weapon if the horse is within it's range

Poog hustles along to catch up and help
