"Oh wow Goog not very good at that! thought he'd do better than Chuffy huh?" mocks Chuffy while Goog lays unconcsious
Mogmurch laughs and laughs as he watches first Chuffy then Goob get stuck in the Rusty Earbiter. Even when all the others leave, he continues to watch. "Where all you other goblins going? This is hilarious!"
When Goog stops moving entirely, Mogmurch just keeps mocking him. "Keep trying, Goog! You can do it!"
Eventually, even Mogmuch loses interest. "You're bad at that, Goob. Was funny for long time, but now you just boring. You could at least stop making a mess everywhere."
And then Mogmuch leaves too. "Maybe they have more of those yummy slugs..."
Chuffy tries to do help Goog but he ends up just stomping around the dirt yelling at Goog
"Hey Reta! Like my shiny new knife??" How about I feed him one your stinky TOES?!!"
"Hear that Goog laughing he only playing at being dead"
OK, Poog continued to try for a bit more.
Then he is able to more forward part of the way.
Goog keeps trying to move forward, but cannot, eventually falling unconscious from the damage.
Wait, is that someone moving in the Rusty Earbiter??, Mogmurch thinks. He rushes back over over to look, but Goog is again unconscious inside the contraption. "BORING!" he shouts, before headed back to find something more entertaining.
"Whoa! I thought Goog was dead! Then he kept moving! But now he's just sleeping!
Chuffy kicks dirt at Goog. "Wake up you idiot!"
Goog, still awake despite Chuffy's dirt-kicking, places a hand on himself and casts a healing spell.
"Now get me out of here, idiots! Goog never should have climbed in this contrapshun!"
Goog is now at 4 HP.
With 3 HP left, Goog crawls out of the Rusty Earbiter. You get healed up and then fall asleep as the rest of the goblins continue to party. The next morning, you are woken up and ordered to start your mission.
The next morning, you are woken up and brought before the chief again at dawn, whereupon he instructs you to "get fireworks and bring them here to me." He gives you the remaining fireworks from Scribbleface’s stash — two Desnan candles, four paper candles, and a skyrocket.
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. It should be only an hour's travel. The marsh itself is relatively difficult to navigate, with numerous stretches of deep water that must be skirted and thick tangles of stinging nettles. About half way through your journey, you begin to think you may not be alone.
Mogmurch and Reta notice a very large spider trying to hide in a web up in the trees. It can only be the dreaded Lotslegs-Eat-Goblin-Babies-Many!
bold may act:
surprise round:
Mogmurch
Reta
round 1:
Poog
Mogmurch
Chuffy
spider
Reta
Goog pulls out a javelin and chucks it at the spider.
Ichor begins to drip from the spider as Goog's javelin pokes it.
Reta's arrow impales the spider, who is now looking significantly worse for wear. The drip of ichor becomes a slow stream.
"Doesitburn Doesitburn " yells Poog excitedly as he calls forth Zarongels fire
The party finds themselves pelted with burning spider bit.
"Hey! I saw it first! I wanted to explode it!" Mogmurch yells angrily, before muttering something under his breath about how boring everything is so far, especially the Poogs.
You may try a survival check to locate LotsLegs' lair.
"What hapapened? asks Chuffy after he's done scratching his back with a dogslicer.
Still muttering, Mogmurch thinks he may have spotted a trail leading away from the base of the tree the spider was in.
You find the spider's lair, in which there is a pile of dead goblin bodies. Looking through the pile, you find 24 gp, a Small masterwork light crossbow with 11 bolts, a single pearl worth 100 gp, 2 potions of cure moderate wounds, a potion of bull’s strength, a potion of bear’s endurance, and a wax-paper-sealed package containing six pieces of licorice-flavored taffy.
"Wow, spider not nearly as scary as Goog thought. Easy to kill. Why other gobs not kill her before this? Stoopid spider."
Goog grabs one of the potions of cure moderate and eats the taffy, before any other gobs can try it. :)
Mogmurch grabs the crossbow and bolts, shoving the bolts haphazardly into a deep pocket.
Chuffy takes the gold and decides maybe he will share later if someone asks but for now "SHINY!!. He also grabs the taffy.
"Who want bottles?"
As they exit the lair, Mogmurch scoops up everything of value that no one else took.
Mogmurgh glares at Reta, trying to decide if he should stab her now, or later when she's not looking. He decides later is better, and hands over the Gorge of Gluttons. Or maybe I'll shoot some of those fireworks at the back of her head..
You grab all the spider's goodies, and then continue your journey. 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. Coming from inside the fence is a scary horse sound.
"There evil horse! We kill it!" Goog looks around, sees that Reta looks brave and foolish. "You go first, Reta!"
"Yeah, Reta has fancy horse-knife now! Horse is now your problem!"
"Chuffy lead way because he's best chief". Says Chuffy as he starts to move towards the sound of the horse. Chuffy throws himself on the ground and rolls around a bit for camouflage. Then he starts leading his way towards the fence.
Chuffy observes the ground to see if they'll be able to get stable footing inside the fence where the horse sound is coming from.
Peeking through the fence, you see there is indeed a horse over on the other side of the clearing. The ground is very muddy, and may prove difficult to move through.
Mogmurch nods, grinning wildly. He follows Reta around the fence.
"Dead horsey is best horsey" says Chuffy as he follows along
You move around to the far side of the fence.
The entire party may post. The horse knows you're there. The rickety wooden fence has large enough gaps you can easily shoot or throw through them.
Goog will shoot a fire bolt at the horsey.
Chuffy throws a dart.
Mogmurch launches a bomb, giddy to be finally throwing some explosives around.
