We be Goblins! (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Usually one can only use a standard action in a surprise round.
I use my standard action to load the x-bow

You are right, the rules say 'a standard OR move action during the surprise round', not 'and'. Sorry for that :( *embarrassed*

S. Round Order:
Poog - move
Greta - load x-bow
Stomp - surprised
Chuffy
Mogmurch

Greta wiggles with her big toe, saying sorry for being right. Personal curse.

Chuffy grins as he gets the drop on the horse, bringing the Gorge of Gluttons to bare. With a wicked shriek Chuffy stabs up.

So, +3 to hit and +2D6 damage on top of my sneak, attacking the horses flat-footed!

Chuffy horse killing sneaky stab of death!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 191d4 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4, 3, 4) = 14

Before the horse knew what's going on, Chuffy hit it in the middle of it's body, cutting a deep wound. The horse stumbles but is still standing.

S. Round Order:
Poog - move
Greta - load x-bow
Stomp - surprised - 14HP
Chuffy - attack
Mogmurch

Mogmurch rushes forward eager to get in on the fun, "Wait for Mogmurch, I wanna burn da horsey!"

The three goblin heroes waiting at the gate start running. While they are on the way, Chuffy cuts a big piece out of the horse's body.

Round 1
Poog
Greta
Stomp -14HP
Chuffy
Mogmurch

Poog dashes to the battle and gets into flank.
Run is movement *4 if that's all you do, right?

Not quite its *4 only in a straight line so you won't be able to get into a flanking position sadly.

Mogmurch is right, thats what my rulebook says. Straight line only.

Greta turns around the corner and takes a bead.
Fire!
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d6 ⇒ 6 Shoot in the battle is inkluded

Greta, would you please move your token on the map? Do you have a lign of sight from your position?

Sorry missed that. Greta will run to get line of sight next round she can shoot

Mogmurch races forward whooping in gleeful anticipation.

The goblins are on their way to the horse, soon close enough to attack.

The horse attacks Chuffy with his two hooves
Hoof 1: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Hoof 2: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14
Damage Hoof 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage Hoof 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
but misses with the second hoff and almost hurt himself with the first.

Round 1
Poog - run
Greta - run
Stomp -14HP - hoof attack
Chuffy
Mogmurch - run

Chuffy stares at the horse, seeing Momurch approaching he decides to wait for his fellow goblin to provide a distraction.

Chuffy is going to delay his action until Mogmurch takes up the flank, giving Chuffy +2 to hit and sneak attack.

Once the horse is distracted by Mogmurchs arrival, Chuffy stabs in again with the Gorge of Gluttons.

Chuffys SUPER horse killing sneaky stab of death!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d4 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (3, 1, 2) = 11

Damn, Mogmurch clearly distracted Chuffy too!

With a hard hit Chuffy killed the big horse. It fell to the ground and did not move any more.

Combat over. The horse is big, but has only AC 11 ;)

Poor thing =P

Leeaping into the air Chuffy points a Greta.

"Chuffy told you he kill horse! Chuffy stabbiest goblin in Licktoads!

But seriously, he couldn't have done it without you guys.

I just went through the turns, unfortunately Mogmurch is not flanking, because he did not reach the horse (running is only possible in a straight line). Did you include the +2 for flanking in your attack roll, Chuffy?

Greta looks sadly at the horse. It died without offering her a chance to spike it. But Chuffy had clearly killed it alone. THAT SON OF A TOAD!

Chuffy was delaying to attack when someone flanked. Mogmurch was not actually going to flank, but I imagine someone would have.

I thought you were moving onto the flank? I did increase the attack roll by two, but would have delayed my attack for someone to flank to take it.

I was moving up to get into flank, but apparently you can only run in a straight line, so I couldn't get there fast enough when I corrected

Chuffy was the last one to act in Round 1 because of his delay and no one was flanking. The horse was either far away or not in direct line for running. I think this is correct. I'm afraid this means round 2 and the chance for everyone to kill that horse. Please ignore the dead horse, I was reading the posts on my mobile and I somehow skipped some posts. Today is not my day, I'm really sorry for the confusion I caused. *embarrassed again*

Round 2
Poog
Greta
Stomp -14HP
Chuffy
Mogmurch

Poog closes in and gets into flank and swings.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Greta knows those days. Trust me.
with a jump she pulls the trigger on the horse. Sadly the bolt goes wide.
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 5

While the horse stepped up to make another attack with it's hooves at Chuffy, Poog used his chance to kill the horse. Greta shot a bolt at the horse but at that time the horse was already on the ground dying and the bolt missed it's target.

Combat over (really)

A very steep vine-choked gangplank with a mossy handrail descends sharply from the ship’s bow to the muddy ground below. One handrail seems to be encrusted with a large ball of dried mud.

Greta checks for the bolt 50% chance low she gets the bolt
1d100 ⇒ 3 and finds it in a piece of grass. She then returns to the others and moves down the blank.

DC 10 climb check to climb up the plank. DC 12 knowledge nature check to investigate the ball of dried mud

Suddenly awed by the plank Greta thinks for a moment then cautiously walks up. Everything looks good first, but then she slips over her gown and falls back after 3 steps.
Clumb: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Cursing evilely she looks at the others. "You climbsa first!"

Chuffy chuckles as he walks up to the plank and (with the help of his magical ring) leaps up in.

Climb: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Once at the top he removes the ring and chucks it down to Greta.

"Don't say Chuffy not nice and Chuffy never gives you anything!"

Greta looks at Chuffy and says:"Chuffy very nice nice."

Unfortunately Chuffy did not carefully check the plank before climbing up and stumbled over a vine at the top of the plank. The goblins hear a snap.

I moved Greta and Chuffy to the positions on the map where I think they want to be. Is that correct?

Greta:"O..O"

Chuffys eyed widen and he snips on the spot waving his dogslicer.

"Chuffy didn't do it!"

Somewhat paniced, Chuffy will look and listne to see if anything has changed or is coming as a result of his blunder.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Chuffy spots that the vine he stumbled over was attached to the ball of dried mud. As he is closer to it now he can see that it is a wasp hive. The vine triggered a mechanism which loosened the hive from the handrail and it's falling down on Greta.

Greta can do a DC 15 reflex check to catch the hive after which she can set it down on the ground gingerly and not worry about the rest of the trap’s effects. But otherwise the nest smashes and releases a cloud of angry wasps.

Greta jumps to the left, to the right, trying to catch it.
"Greta will catch it, Greta will catch it, Greta wi....
Just as I says so she slips in a pool of mud and falls on her back.
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 But luckily the hive just lands between her arms."Greta got it? YES, Greta, got it!

Mogmurch lets out the breath he was holding, "Can we eat it?" He asks uncertainly, "Mogmurch could burn it first!"

Thanks to Greta's fast reaction the group of goblins escaped beeing attacked by a swarm of angry wasps. Chuffy is already waiting at the deck of the ship. The others check the plank for other wasp hives but could not find any.

I need a DC 10 climb check from everybody who wants to walk up to the deck of the ship.

Greta carefully puts the hive into a sack and then carefully goes up.
Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Aided by the magic ring she walks up easely. Upstairs she takes off the ring and hands it back to chuffy, biting him effectionally in the ear.

"Greta and Chuffy sittin' in a tree!"
Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 19

"She be lickin' his face next like my Reta, bluck!" Mogmurch complains struggling pathetically to climb the ramp.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

The main deck of the shipwreck is cluttered with objects both natural and artificial. Thick swaths of leafy vines grow over the deck, and shiny green patches of algae and moss grow where the vines do not. The central cabin's roof has a wide edge, creating a canopied walkway along the ship's sides. A flight of steps up to the roof of the ship's main cabin, the entrance to which is blocked by a door decorated by a large number of rodent and bird skulls. A smoking stovepipe chimney extends up from the ship's highest point above.

After the four goblins climbed up to the main deck they can hear dogs barking and growling. The noise seems to be coming from above and behind the main cabin.

Map updated

Greta goes silently around the right corner, X-bow at the ready.
Perception +2 against dogs: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
I don´t believe it... 2 20. I will roll soooo bad.
BTW HAPPY EASTER

Mogmurch follows Greta only slightly less stealthy than the archer.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Greta can hear two dogs, one at the main deck, chained to a mast behind the main cabin. The other one at the upper deck, also chained to the a mast.

Percept Greta Dog MD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Percept Mogmurch Dog MD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

But the dogs can't see the two goblins.

Greta smiles evelly and whispers in Mogmurch ear. Two ugly balkers. Trapped to chain good-good. We kill from afar!"

Mogmurch nods grinning and creeps forward, drinking his extract of shield and pulling free a vial of alchemist's fire. Looking to Greta to see if she is ready he prepares to hurl when she fires.

Taking 10 on stealth for 26.

Somebody else wants to move before I roll Initiative?

Chuffy hangs back, allowing Greta and Mogmurch their ranged assault against the dogs. He holds his dogslicer ready, incase they aren't quick enough to kill the creatures.
