Chuffy manages to stick the large and unarmored woman with his stabby sticks, drawing a wail and scream from the half shanks.
Poog steps in, and despite the weird angle, he manages to bop her with his club!
The fire continues to spread, this time catching Poog in its warm embrace..
Lottie strikes out at Chuffy with her frying pan before stepping back towards the door in the back of the room.
With an almight CLANG the frying pan catches Chuffy alongside the head! Tweeting birdies appear to appear from nowhere and dance before his eyes as the room spins on a tilt!

Poog's glee at hitting somebody (finally!) turns into terror. He screams at the top of his lungs when a tongue of fire hops onto him jerkin and quickly spreads all over his clothes.
He drops onto the floor and starts rolling around, and thankfully the fire is put out.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" he calls out continuously.
While still on the floor, he bops himself on the head with the feel-good stick, and sure enough, he feels better.
Chuffy stumbles back comically, holding his ringing head and weaving unsteadily on his feet. "Half-shank, me sticks you and you two friends." He wobbily points his little dagger until he suddenly feels the heat from the fire on his back. He stares at the blocked exit and the only other place to go... behind the half-shank...
Poog drops to the ground, managing to extinguish the flames before they could do more than kiss his tender goblin hide!

"What two friends? Are there ghosts?" Rita yells at Chuffy.
Rita then runs into the smaller room waving her stabby stick at the longshanks as she moves foward. "You NO run AWAY!! Where the ghosts? She stabs at the woman.
Mogmurch runs past the flames and into the room to cut off the womanshanks exit. He nimbly jumps up on the bed and takes a swing at the woman with his crude little weapon.
"You no 'scape us, Uglyshanks!" he taunts.
Rita chases the half shanks into the kitchen, utterly confused by Chuffy's claim of multiple enemies. She stabs out, opening a wound on the womans leg!
Then Mogmurch joins the fun, bashing the woman and leaving a bruise on her other leg!

Chuffy hesitates, not sure which of the half shanks women he should try to stick.. and still trying to get the ground to stop moving under his feet.
The fires continue to blaze out of control, spreading faster and faster!
The womanlashes out again, this time at Rita! Once again, the resounding clang of iron versus goblin skull sounds out through the room!!

Poog scrambles to hit feet, sighing with relief that he had put out the fire. He looks at all his burns, but also sees his fellow whelps are looking not much better. From through the doorway, he jabs Chuffy with his feel-good stick, then quickly steps away from the fire before he gets burnt again. Hmm, think got door on other side?
While Chuffy stares at the many-shanks he suddenly lets out a cry of surprise when Poog jabs him with the feel-good stick. "Hey! That... oh, me feels good." He grins and turns back to the half-shank and her frie--- "Where you friends go?! I eat thems!" Suddenly the fire bursts through the wall next to him and he jumps back with a cheer. Until he realizes... his eyes widen and he quickly grabs a bucket of water and drops in on the spreading flames around him and his whelp-brethren. "Rite, no more games. You kill half-shanks. She make me angry!"
"Mogmurch said you no 'scape!" the little whelp shouts as he leaps off the bed in an attempt to cut off Lottie's escape. Once done moving, he swings his club with as much force as he can muster!
Rita shakes hear head as the frying pan connects. "Oh there the ghosts are." She stabs at the one in the middle. She clearly picks one of the ghosts and misses the longshanks.
Poog dances through the flames in front of the doorway to poke Chuffy with his healy stick again, before dancing back out through the door.
Despite the dire and worsening conditions of the house, Chuffy keeps his head once the golden glow of the magic fades away leaving only tingles and tickles. He grabs a bucket of water and tosses it at the fire in the kitchen while calling for the womans quick death!
Mogmurch dances right between Lotties legs, pops up on the other side, and bops her with his stick! Unfortunately, its not a strong bop.. but a bop none the less!
Meanwhile, Rita is spinning and twirling with the birdies singing in her head. She tries to stab the mean old woman, but almost takes out Chuffy instead.
The fire continues to bloom and spread across the hut, dark smoke and choking fumes building up within the home. The little goblins begin to cough and choke in the sweltering heat and choking smoke.
As the goblins try to pin her in and the fire threatens to roast everyone, Lottie gives a scream of terror and turns to bop Mogmurch for blocking her way out! The smoke is getting in her eyes though, and she misses her attack!

"Eek!" Poog squeaks as the fire spreads all over, cutting him from the rest. He seemed to recall another door though on the other side of the house. Still waving his stick in the air, Poog races out of the house towards the other entrance.
Rita stabs at the woman, and gets a good hit in on the correct hooman. "Ha I knew you were there!!
"You as tough as you is ugly!" Mogmurch taunts the bigger female.
With a jump and an angry swipe he tries to brain the woman!
Poog quickly vacates the premises, trying to find another way in.
Meanwhile, the fight inside rages on, with Rita and Mog both landing slight blows. The woman is certainly looking the worse for wear, but she is keeping her feet so far!

Chuffy moves in towards Lottie, intent on repaying her for her round of Whack-A-Goblin.
With a vengeance, the little goblin is able to reach up and stab the halfing woman in the chest, ending the fight!
However, the fire continues to grow exponentially!

Poog finally reaches near the entrance of the other door, waving his feel-good stick. He pokes himself with him. "Ouch!" But he feels better after that.
Mogmurch kicks the dead woman once before bounding out the door behind him, gleefully watching as the fire takes over the building...
"Big shack over there we no yet see! Let's burn it next!" he says pointing south toward a large structure.
"Let's go. Run fast away from the fire." Rita agrees with Mogmurche's suggestion. "Wait to burn until we look through it ok?" She takes off at a trot for the other building.
As the fire quickly envelopes the building, the excited and gleeful goblins run out the back door, Rita admonishing the others to withhold the burning until the looting was done. As they gather, the pig that had belly flopped onto the cake earlier comes running up, squealing and snorting. Its a little singed, and gives Mogmurch a very obvious stink eye look as it shuffles towards the group, looking from one goblin to the other.
Mogmurch
Rita- 4 dmg

Poog walks up to Rita and pokes her in the ribs with the feel-good stick.
Poog pokes Rita with his healy stick while everyone is trying to decide where to go next.

Rita flinches again as she's hit with the healy stick. She stops running when she realizes the animals are all outside already. She gives the pig a pet. "Let's go to the building by the water. Then I want to open the presents."
On their way to the barn, the team diverts towards the water front where another ramshackle fixture looms over the water.
The door shakes and rattles under the determined goblins attention, but fails to open. Finally, Chuffy steps forward with a few Special Twigs and jams them into the lock as hard as he can. With a solid punch to the lock, kick to the frame, and a brief butt wiggling jig, he pops the door to the shed wide open.
A beat up and half rotten row bow lays against one wall, while scattered around the boathouse are four hammers, three daggers, twelve sacks of millet, a bucket of tar, and six barrels of a fiery smelling liquid. A brief sniff brings to mind forgotten nights and horrible horrible next mornings!
The goblins mill about here for a moment before turning to the last building to be searched.. that isn't yet on fire.
Peering into the open side door, you can see a gnarly looking man is just starting up from a pile of hay. A clay pip is in his hand, and a foul and intoxicating odor remains in the air from recent indulgence. Blood shot eyes peer at you as the man is obviously having trouble trying to focus. He suddenly starts forward, realizing the shouts and screams are not just in his head.

Rita rushes forward and draws first blood! Its a tiny scratch, but the man yowls and the goblins screech in joy.

Mogmurch rushes after Rita, making sure to cut off any escape for the man. He quickly strikes out with his club...
and catches the man squarely on the hip, narrowly missing the man's privates!
Poog lays his hand on Chuffy. "Zarongel help!" He then moves into the building with the rest.
Poog lays his hand on Chuffy. "Zarongel help!" He then moves into the building with the rest.
Mogmurch slides in behind Rita, thumping the guy on the hip, and nearly breaking a few eggs. Poog lays his hand on Chhuffy's shoulder, granting him a bit of holy help, then takes off into the building.
Chuffy and Squealy move into the barn, but are unable to get close to the hooman.
The man stumbles a bit as he is beset by the goblins, but manages to drag his longsword from the sheath and begin laying about at the ankle biters crowding him in..
Mogmurch catches a nasty slash across his shoulder!

Rita takes a step forward, and swings her dogslicer again. She misses and curses loudly in goblin.
Mogmurch dances back and grabs a sticky, resin filled bag from his pack, tossing it with a backhand swipe at the man.
Chuffy giggles as he gets to stick another hooman with his knife, but in his haste to join the fray his blade misses and nearly sticks Rita in the arm. "Hold still, hooman, and let me sticks you! Fun for all!"
Rita tries to cut at the man but misses by a mile.
Mogmurch steps back and pulls out a bag of stickiness, tossing it at the man. It explodes in an amazing puff of resin, gluing the hooman to the floor!
Chuffy tries to follow up on this with another slice, but is unable to hit.

Poog snorts at the stupid hoo-man, for trying to fight when he is clearly outnumbered. He moves up to the corner, reaches out his hand to touch Rita while calling on Zarongel's help for her.
Poog tries to help rita with another dose of divine assistance.
The hooman is saying something.. you can't understand it, but from the tone and inflection, it is really not nice..
He lashes out at Rita, and despite the mind haze and the sticky resin all gluing him to the floor, he manages a nasty cut! With a cry, Rita staggers from the sudden wound.

Poog sighs as his fellow whelps once again manages to get themselves injured. He shakes his feel-good stick violently next to his ears, trying to hear how full it is. Not quite certain what he is listening for, he goes ahead and just pokes Rita with it.
Mogmurch smiles wide at the hooman, showing many needle like teeth.
"You too tall. Come down here!" he cackles as he swings his club at the man's knees.
Poog once more give Rit an almighty "BOP", and man, is it a good one this time!
Mogmurch reaches out with his club and tries to trip the hooman, which succeeds, but receives a very nasty cut from the mans sword on the way in!

Freshly healed, Rita turns her attention back to the hooman that hurt her so badly. "Yea, you die NOW!!" she cries out, stabbing the man where he lay.
With a cry and shout, the hooman tries to break free from the entangling resin. The resin creaks and pops, trying to keep him glued to the floor, but he overcomes it sending showers of amber resin chumks over the assaulting goblins.

Poog cackles in glee with the man being surrounded his fellow whelps, knowing it is only a matter of time. With Rita out of reach, he decides to give some of Zarongel's blessing to Chuffy.
Rita cackles and slashes at the man's knees again.
Chuffy grins when Poog touches his shoulder. "Ha! Now you die, hooman-shanks, me have Zarongel goodies!" He stabs at the prone hooman!
Poog casts guidance on Chuffy, which helps him to land the blow, but doesn't help him do more hurty.. Chuffy's slice just leaves a bare scratch. Mimicking Chuffy, Rita lands a blow but it too is a weak one!

Mogmurch, tired of the stabby stab dance, steps back and takes out a vial of reddish liquid with a drawing of a flame on it.
This from Jingle Hat. Look like fire. Me think this work like gourd... heh!
With a wicked gleam in his eyes, he chants,
♫"Things go BOOM when Mogmurch throws,
Much more fun than using bows.
Sometimes where the BOOM BOOM blows
Is not my fault - That's how it goes."♫
then throws it directly at the man, casing him to ignite in a beautiful burst of flame! Sure there is some splashing of the flammable liquid on his fellow goblins, but as he just sang out, it not his fault - That's how it goes...
