Poog stares in confusion at his hand, wondering if it is broken. He moves up behind Rita and tries again.
Rita stabs at the man again. "Me want shiny boxes and sugary thing. You are in the way. Go away." She looks at Poog. "You broken? It's not working."
Poog shakes his head and then holds it up to his ear.. it doesn't seem to be working. Suddenly, a charge of electricity zaps from his finger tip to his nose, leading him to slap Rita with another dose of guidance, pushing her into the man shanks! With the barest of luck, she leaves a scratch along his arm!
Really upset now, the man shanks starts howling and swinging madly about! He clouts Rita upside the head with a ringing blow!
The woman shanks keeps up her kicking. If any of the goblins even knew what a kick line or a rockette were, they would have eagerly recommended her to them! Luckily, Mogmurch is able to duck behind the skirts and dodge the kick.

"Burn, Burn, Burn you dumb kick monster!" Mogmurch says as he dances back again, grabbing one of his gourds from his belt. With a wicked grin he lobs the gourd right at the woman shanks' head!
Chuffy scampers away into a flanking position with Rita, giggle and cackling as he skips away. He begins to sing his goblin song...
"Chuffy’s face might make you sick,
But Chuffy’s knife is awful quick.
And if you are his stabby pick—
The knife goes in you, STICK STICK STICK!"
He squeals with glee at the splatter of blood from his stabby-sticks!
Mogmurch dances back from the flailing woman, and grabs a gourd from his belt. With a wicked grin and a catcall of glee, he tosses it to explode over the woman, singeing her dress and hair!
Chuffy dances around the male, then darts in slicing and dicing. He sings out his goblin song in his horrible goblin voice, taking exquisite pleasure in the splashing blood!

Poog grins when Rita manages to nick the man shanks. "See? It works!" His glee turns to concern, however, when the man shanks shanks Rita. Poog whips out the wand they took earlier, and whacks it upon her head.
Poog objects to Rita brushing off his help, and so he bops her! Its with a healy stick, but he bops her none the less!
Rita continues her push against the half shanks man, slashing left and slashing right, slashing all through the night!
The man, stumbling from the wounds that are building up, continues to try and punch his way through the onslaught! He steps back towards his new wifey and tries to hit Chuffy as he goes but misses.
The woman half shanks charges Mogmurch, shrieking wildly as the smoldering burns on her body still smoke and sting!

Poog gets a sense of exhilaration from bopping Rita on the head, and decides to join in all the fun. He runs around the man-shanks and attempts to bop him on the head, too, but with a club.
"Out that hurts. Are healy sticks supposed to hurt?" Rita hollers as Poog goes running around the hooman. She moves up to the lady hooman, stabs at her this time.
Poog joins the fun, running around to bop the man on the head with his club. It is a glancing blow, but a hit is a hit as far as the little goblin is concerned!
Rita on the other hand chases after the woman, slicing her through one of her kicking legs!

The woman continues to shriek as the alchemist's fire continues to burn through her. She is nearly done, but not nearly so done that she can't dodge Mogmurch's clumsy club.

Chuffy tries to keep up the stabbing action, but can't seem to hit anything.
The man steps to the side, coming after Rita to help his new wife out!
He rounds on Rita, giving her a wallop that is likely to leave a mark!
The woman continues to kick at Mogmurch, catching him in the shin again!

Hopping mad after the woman shanks kicks him , Mogmurch snarls, "YOU DIE! Me think this no funny! Me eat you face off once you fall, then me burn you toes off and feed them to toad!" and he proceeds to beat her with his club to the best of his ability.
Chuffy snorts and chortles at Mogmarch's rant as he gleefully sticks his knife into the manshanks' leg. "Me think you funny, Mog! After half-shanks dead, we eats cake and have big fire!"
Poog looks with pride when Rita's wounds close, only for her to get new ones. "Rita, you stop opening up! Close them!" He walks over nearer, then calls out. "You come here!" As soon as Rita comes within reach of Poog, he whacks her again over the head with his wand.
"Ouch" Rita yells not sure if it's the stab from the man or the bop on the head from Poog. She stabs at the man again. She misses and yells obscenities at the hoomans.
Mogmurch takes exception to the game of goblin kicking, and manages to knick the lady with his knife. Against all odds, the knick opens an artery, leaving her to drop to the ground, grasping for the wound in vein.
Meanwhile, Chuffy flicks his knife into the leg of the man, and retia steps aside. Poog bops her again, and in the heat of the moment, Rita repeats Mogmurches performance, killing the man with another seemingly small wound!
Out of Combat
The wedding grounds by now are clearing out quickly, screaming half shanks disappearing every which way! To the north lies a house, to the south west a stable with several animal pens stuffed full of pigs and goats, and to the east two outbuildings stand near the river.
Poog looks in satisfaction at the two fallen long shanks. However, he looks rather disappointed that the half shanks are already fleeing. He so wanted to send the musicians making the horrible noises to flee with his magic but seems that they have already fled.
He eyes (and nose) quickly turn to the stable and a wide grin comes upon his face. Maybe today's the day! Me big goblin now! [b]Me ride! Me ride![/ooc] Ignoring the fact that they aren't dogs like what Zarongel rides, he races towards the stables. Looking with some indecision amongst the animals, he eventually chooses a straggly-haired goat with fine spiral horns and leaps onto its back!
Poog ignores the amazing confection of icing and sugar and runs for the stables! In his haste, he swings the gate wide and the terrified animals add their noise and clamor to the panicking halflings, scattering across the yard. 6 fat goats begin tearing through the wedding guests, while the seventh one is quickly snatched by Poog as it runs by. At the heels of the goats, one rather enormous sow with a string of piglets scatter into the mess creating even more chaos! This chaos is magnified when one fearless piggy heads straight for the wedding cake! With a leap and a squeal of pure joy and fun, the piggy lands square in the middle of the giant cake, sending up a great gout of frosted goodness. The piggy tears into the cake with fervor that the entire Licktoad tribe can't help but to admire!
"Hey that's my cake get away." Rita runs to the remains of the cake, and tries to chase the pig away.
She scrambles on the table and starts to dig through the cake tossing it at the others with one hand and stuffing her face with the other.
The pig squeels and grunts at Rita, then shifts over to share the cake with her.
Mogmurch happily grabs at the cake bits tossed his way, shoving them as fast as he can into his wide, chomping mouth.
His mouth still full with cake, Mogmurch says to the others around him, "Me ish shtill bleedy. Rita ish too."
"Oooh! Tallshanks home!" Mog says, spewing bits of cake as he does. He begins to bounce as he says it, pointing to the house to the north.
"Maybe they have little shanks we can eat there!!! Let's go now!" the evil little greenskin says gleefully.
Poog reluctantly bops Mogmurch on the head with his healy stick again.. possibly a bit harder than absolutely necessary!
Once the golden glow of healing magic dissipates, the team turns towards the half shanks house to the north. The piggy snorts a few times, and follows along at your heels!
The walls of this large and rambling structure are flimsy and weathered with no real shineys visible from the outside. stomping up the front porch, you kick open the door and pile through in an almost comedic cluster, falling over each other. Joining the fun, the piglet weaves between your feet and adds to the mess!
Picking yourselves up off the floor and untangling yourselves in a mean feat, but one accomplished quickly one a halfshanks starts screaming and cursing.. even you know some of these words, and they are NOT pretty! She is dressed in finery, and waving around a frying pan.. when suddenly, from between her legs, one of the most hated creatures ever to walk the earth comes snarling and barking! A DOG!! It's a smaller schnauzer baring its teeth and yipping and barking as only smaller dogs can. Your bloodlust hits maximum ferocity as the dog appears.. IT MUST DIE!!!

Mogmurch wastes no time once the evil hound shows it's evil face and barks it's evil bark.
"YOU MUST DIE!" he cries as he grabs the last gourd from his belt and throws it!
Mogmurchs gourd of fire flies wide right, smashing against a chair sitting there and starting a fire! The dog yelps as it gets splashed with burning liquid and yelps in pain.
The half shanks woman waves her frying pan threateningly, screaming at you at the top of her very powerful lungs!!
Mogmurch shrinks back in fear from the frightening woman!

Chuffy shrieks in hatred as the dog appears, but then giggles with glee as the chair begins to burn. He rushes around the nearby table to come up alongside the loathsome beast and tries to sticks it with his dagger. "Die, fleabag, die!"
Rita steps up and stabs at the dog. "You Die evil beast."
Chuffy slides around the chairs, knocking some out of his way as he stabs at the little dog. However, a chair bounces back and spoils his aim.
Rita steps up towards the dog, also trying to land a blow, but the nimble heathen beast is too quick!
The dog rebounds, teeth gnashing at Rita! It almost gets her scrawny goblin throat, but she pulls back just an instant in time and gets away with a torn shoulder.
As the goblins fight with the dog, the fire begins to spread!

Despite being shaken by the womanshanks' threats, Mogmurch is slightly emboldened by the spreading fire so he moves in and swings his club, trying to crush the dog's head...
...but his feeble swing misses as his eyes are too focused on the nearby fire.
Poog somehow manages to stay on the goat's back, hopping up and down rather gleefully. He steers the beast behind Rita and whack her again with the wand. "You stop bleeding! Stop, stop, stop!"
Mog fights his fear and steps forward to help out, but nearly smashes his own toe with his club. Meanwhile, Poog rides his goat into the house and gives Rita another bop, commanding her to stop bleeding.
Lottie, screeching now at the top of her lungs and waving her frying pan in circles seems about to have an apoplectic fit. Eyes bugging out, she turns and grabs a pail of water to splash on the fire that has eaten through the thin wall.

"Dumb dog!" is all the shaken little goblin can say as he slams at the pup with his club once again!
Once again the fire seems to have him too preoccupied for accuracy.
Mogmurch's caninicide doesn't seem to be too very effective, as he slashes a hole in the wood flooring!
The fire spreads to the chair in the corner. The heat and smoke in the room is starting to build up.

Poog looks around at his fellow whelps, nodding in satisfaction that they are finally listening and have stopped bleeding. Nudging the goat forward with his knees, Poog decides to join in the fun by swinging his club at the bothersome dog. However, he is clearly too excited about riding the goat, that his swing goes wild, almost clipping Rita in the head instead.
Poog still keeps his seat, but instead of hitting the dog like he meant to, he almost makes Rita bleed again!
Lottie, in a craze of fear and worry for her beloved dog, manages to catch a hold of the dog and drag it backwards!

"HA ha HA!" Mogmurch cheers as he dances over the prone pooch. He takes an extra hop as he kicks it in the head.
"Now you die humie!" he shouts, taunting the woman with the frying pan as he hucks a rock at her.
He nimbly dodges behind Rita after his throw, narrowly avoiding the sweet caress of the nearby fire.
From his vantage point, Chuffy can see the woman cowering against the wall beyond the doorway.. well under cover from Mogmurch's thrown rock.

Chuffy cheers and cackles as the vile dog collapses! He then slaps himself in the face at Mogmurch's failure. "Mogmurch, dumb-dumb. Me, Chuffy, show Mogmurch how to sticks half-shanks!" With that he steps into the little kitchen and licks the dog blood from his dagger before trying to stick his little knife into the half-shanks! "Me cook your dog over fire and eats it!"
Poog starts to get bored with the goat. It keeps rearing up, in fear of the fire and Poog has to bop it on the head a few times to get it to go where he wants to go. He wants to join in the fun of beating people (other than Rita), and the goat is making things difficult. Finally he gives up and leaps off the goat, his itch for riding sated for now. letting it roam free in the room.
He steps forward and from the corner of the door, swings his club at her.
