We Be Goblins! (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Poog barely manages to catch the mudball.

Poog manages to catch the mudball as he gently places it on the ground near the grounded ship.

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. The party hears growling and barking from the aft of the ship. As the party rears around the cabin of the ship they see a scruffy mongrel of a dog chained to the aft mast on the main deck and a one blue-eyed and one brown-eyed mangy dog with a crooked tail chained to the upper deck on 20 foot chains.

There is a full portrait of the ship up above. So there is the main deck that you are on with the cabin and stairs leading to the upper deck above.

Reta hates dogs! she shrieks as she waves her dogslicer in the air. She will attack the one closest to her. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Where are you moving your character to attack the dog?

30 ft east, please. I know I am still out of range from there, but I do like to roll in advance for speed.

The two dogs snap their chains taut against the masts as they growl and bark. The chain on the lower level strains at the strength of the dog pulling on it.

Upper level dog: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Lower level Dog: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Chuffy eagerly attempts to move into a flanking position on the dog...

Double move around the ship; this places Chuffy in between the mast, and the door to area 6.

Poog moves behind Rita. Then, he reaches around Rita and a bolt of flame erupts from his fingertips.
[ooc]Using my fire bolt domain power. attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6; damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Poog shifts around Reta and lets loose a ball of fire that flies low off of the side of the ship and sizzles into the mud below.

The dogs rip on the chains in a fury and the chains hold strong.

Dog Upper level: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Dog Lower level: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Chuffy moves around to a flanking position with Reta, and attempts to take-out the dog (readying to strike when Reta steps forward)!

+1 Dogslicer: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 22, for 1d4 + 0 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 0 + (1, 2) = 7 damage.

Reta steps forward and attempts to hit the chained dog with her dogslicer. see roll above: 9 to hit, 4 damage She likely misses, but she'll squeal in delight as Chuffy lands a good blow.

Mogmurch moves behind Poog and throws an alchemist fire at the dog.

splash: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Reflex DC 15 to set it on fire.

Reta's blade misses but the combined blade and bomb from Mogmurch slice and blow pieces of dog all over the ship.

The dog on the upper level yanks on it's chain as hard as it can as it snarls and growls at the goblins, The dog's mouth froths with spittle and rage.

The chain holding the dog back snaps in two as the dog rushes forward

GM Roll 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
GM Roll 2: 1d100 ⇒ 5

Waiting to see what the 'fire bomb squad' (AKA Mogmurch and Poog) do :-)

Reta will get as close as she can next round to get an attack in on the dog. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Mogmurch will withdraw and hope it caught on fire.

I'm at a conference until Sunday. Bot me if you're waiting. cheers

@Mogmurch: This is a different dog. The other dog has been dealt with...

Mogmurch moves into a position in front of Poog as he draws a bomb.

Round 1

Rita

Poog tries to get a clear shot at the dog.

attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15; damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Shrugging his shoulders, Chuffy moves up to take a swing at the dog!

+1 Dogslicer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, for 1d4 + 0 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 0 + (5) = 7 damage.

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, for 1d4 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2 *ADDITIONAL* damage.

Poog fires a bolt at the dog as he singes some fur with an audible YELP! from the canine. Chuffy then moves in as he slams his dogslicer into the dog he nearly severs the head from it's body.

Combat Over

You guys still with me

Yup.
Reta looks at her blade. Clean. She glances at the others and then approaches Chuffy. "You give Reta good sword! Share! We take turns now. I will give you my pet frog!" She reaches deep into her pockets and pulls out a nearly suffocated amphibian to present as a peace offering of sorts.

Looking momentarily aggrieved, Chuffy nonetheless loans Rita the Chief's sword.

"Where to now?"

"Look in that room near the first dog? There might be shineys!"

"Okay!"

For clarification, do you mean 5, or 6, on the tactical map?

6 is the one I meant, but (now that you mention it) I guess we'll want to hit 5 eventually.

"Fireworks?"

I'm back, and we're looking for fireworks. Chuffy, can you check for traps and locks? Are you that kind of rogue?

EDIT: 6 is fine. We'll get to 5 soon enough.

So, definitely going for 6, or 5?

The air in this cabin is thick and close, stinking of swamp
and sweat, with a thick, glistening layer of mud on the floor
and swaths of oily fungus clinging to the walls. Even more
dangling decorations of goblin bone and animal-part fetishes
hang from the ceiling on lengths of sinew here, and what
appears to be a nest made of rags, sticks, mud, and castoff
bits of clothing lies against the westernmost wall. But
scattered amid the filth and clutter are several exotic-looking
man-made objects—including a tantalizing red chest.

As the goblins eyes adjust to the dimly it cabin a long tongue snaps at Chuffy and misses him striking a nearby table or meat.

Tongue vs Chuffy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The goblins also see that here is a goblin hiding in the NW corner of the wall near the ceiling, climbing on the walls. Her
mouth is her most fearsome feature—it's a bit too wide,
even by goblin standards, and her habit of filing
her already sharp teeth has resulted in a snaggletooth
grin of mismatched teeth that leaves little doubt as
to her preference for tough, stringy meat. Like goblin
meat. She wears rags and bits of stained cloth—trophies
harvested almost at random from her hapless victims,
over her equally patchwork leather armor. While her
exact outfit can change in this manner depending on
who her latest meals may have been , the one part of her
apparel that never changes is her floppy, pointy leather
hat— Mmmhmmm! HEHEHE! Yer ears will taste good stuffed with eyes! HEHEHE

Round 1

Mogmurch throws a bomb at the frog.

ranged splash DC 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
if hit, fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Goblin take 3 fire damage, and frog catches on fire?

Poog points his finger at the strange goblin. A bolt of fire erupts from his fingertip as he says, "Zarongel likes me better than he likes you/Burn like he wants you to!"
attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16; damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

waiting to see what happens

Chuffy charges forward, acrobatically ducking and weaving to avoid the Frog's tongue, and attempts to gut it!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13.

Dogslicer: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21, for 1d4 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (2) = 4 damage.

Poog's bolt of fire singes the goblins hat and side of her face as she roars in a fury about eating Poog's ears.

Chuffy dodges through the cabin as he slices his dogslicer through the frog drawing first blood

Mogmurch hurls a bomb at the frog as fire explodes all around.

Chuffy takes 3 damage

Vorka moves forward as she begins to light a desnan candle pointed at Poog. The first rocket soars high and strikes the ceiling near Poog.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 4 = 6

Lord Longtongue! Eat Trespassers, but save some bites fore me.

handle animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The frog snaps it's maw at Chuffy

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Poog moves up behind Chuffy and touches him. Here go, Chuffy! Now you not die when I burninate!
Casting cure light wounds. CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Reta waves her fancy dogslicer in the air and moves to hit Vorka if she is in reach. If not, Reta will reach in her bag and down the potion of spider climb before moving in.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Ah! Frog hurt! Frog HURT!"

Chuffy wildly stabs at the big frog...

Dogslicer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22, for 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2.

A flank would be nice, if someone would care to provide it - Chuffy's damage output is fairly rubbish without one :-P

Vorka is 10 feet in the air climbing on the ceiling

Reta draws her potion of spider climb as Poog heals Chuffy.

Chuffy slashes wildly at the frog drawing a chunk of flesh away from the frogs limb.

Vorka (-1 HP)
Lord Longtongue (-13 HP)
----------------------

I'm running short of resources, then Mogmurch will be less than useful. It would really help, if you would put your HP current and total in your Gender of your profile, so I can keep track of your health. I've two potions of CLW. And we need to keep the two front-liners up. Of course, I can't plan like this while RPing my goblin. He'd probably let you die and run home.

Mogmurch draws a potion of CLW and his club.

Did the frog catch on fire? Should I be rolling damage? Or are you taking care of that?

Mogmurch draws a potion and his club as he begins to grasp at straws in this fight.

No the frog does not catch fire. Bomb is just the initial damage for alchemists. A nice AoE weapon though

Vorka grins with her razor sharp teeth as she begins to cast a spell. Soon spiders begin to pile out of the woodwork, more spiders than any of the goblins has ever seen in their lives, as the spiders swarm onto Poog.

Eat them Lord Longtongue! Eat them all!
handle animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Lord Longtongue bites at Chuffy as the from is able to snap it's amphibian moth at the goblin.

Bite vs Chuffy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

You get an AoO for the swarm entering your square

I wouldn't expect a frog bite to hurt at all lol

Spider swarm initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Spider Swarm (Round 2)
----------------------

Reta climbs up along the walls herself and heads toward her target. She swings her magic dogslicer if she can get in range. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Summon Swarm has a 1 round casting time - if she starts casting it this round, she doesn't finish until the start of her next turn.

Also, swarms don't provoke, and more importantly, spider swarms are immune to weapon damage...

[ooc]Yes you are right on the swarm cast time. The swarm will not enter until next round. The attack of opportunity was from the swarm of diminutive creatures entering a players square which provokes and yes immune to weapon damage. So you all have this one more action before the swarm actually shows (granted a passing concentration check from damage that is).[ooc]

Reta clamors up the wall as she slices her dogslicer across Vorka's chest.

Reta- dogslicer

Spider Swarm
----------------------

Poog points at the spellcaster again. Another fire bolt leaps from his fingers.

attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12; damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Reta tries to adapt to the angle of attack from the ceiling and swings her dogslicer up over her head, which is also down toward the floor.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Mogmurch pulls out an acid flask and readies for the swarm. He hands his potion of CLW to whoever looks most in need.

move action to hand potion
standard action to ready

Chuffy continues to attack the frog which is trying to eat him.

Dogslicer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12, for 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3.

@Mogmurch: Technically, we don't actually know that she is summoning a swarm; however, she is clearly doing some sort of summoning spell - it would be more effective to try and force yet another concentration check due to damage, but throwing the acid at her...

Poog shoots a bolt of fire that flies past Vorka striking the damp ceiling of the room.

Chuffy swings his blade at the frog, but the frog leaps in the air out the way of his blade

Mogmurch hands his first potion off as he grasps at a flask of acid. Who do you hand it to?

Concentration Check from Reta: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Vorka seems to lose all concentration as the spell seems to have left her grasp. In frustration Vorka takes a 5 foot step back and casts another spell and a flame appears in the palm of her hand.

Vorka continues to yell at Lord Longtongue to eat everything

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Lord Longtongue bites at Chuffy one more time, but Chuffy moves out of the way.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Reta moves forward swinging her dogslicer at the cannibalistic Vorka as the dogslicer glances off of Vorka's armor.

Reta- dogslicer

That was a wonderful time for a natural 1 on a concentration check :-)
