Talmandor's Bounty
The Goblin's spear wavers and he drops it to waist high height.
He responds in Goblin , "Longshanks?
The pink faces!
They go crazy and fight. Rest leaves.
We comes to get this place.
Ours now...Ghosthaters now... you go".

Darvan, Gnarok, and Neziana, you hear a sound from the part of the smithy that is "inside" the building. The section which was set up as a habitat.
Neziana translates for the others as the goblin speaks. "Sounds like there was some internal strife among the colonists."
Then she hears a sound. She continues in goblin: "What's this sound in there? And what do you mean by ours, are there more of you? We will leave in peace if you answer our questions, I don't want to be forced to kill you." She moves towards the sound while keeping her weapon pointed towards the goblin.

"Others yes. Yes they go!
You leave me in pieces!"
As you move towards the sound you surmise that it is his companions likely making a break for it! You would have to exit this room to see them.
He brandishes his weapon though he is still shaking. It seems even he knows he cannot defeat you all by himself, smart for a Goblin!
"There are more goblins back there. They are trying to escape!" Neziana rushes forward, eager to stop them form escaping. She calls out loudly in goblin.
Mh the settlers went crazy and fought themselves? That sounds weird. Something must be very wrong here.
Put down your sword. We will not attack unless you attack. Can you tell me more about the pink faces? Do you know why they went crazy? It's probably not safe here for your tribe, you will probably go crazy yourself if you stay here.
Darvan will try to circle around the back of the building while the others are talking to the goblin.
He is looking for any more that are escaping out the back.
Gnarok follows along with Darvan, rifle raised in search of more goblins.
"Doesn't look like it. There's some animals that look like they've been nesting in the tents, but no signs of violence."
Maka quickly rushes to where Neziana signaled for more goblins.
Talmandor's Bounty
Neziana and Makanaky rush through the building while Darvan and Gnarok rush around the outside of the of the cover.
Both groups can see two more of these Goblins running to the North. Neziana and Makanaky have line of sight on them while Darvan and Gnarok have part of the wall and a building partially obstructing their view.

Caiden you turn around and realize that Makanaky did not respond to your statement as he is chasing after two fleeing figures.
Lalali is faster than the goblin, her spear already in hand, she tries to stab him, her feet gliding over the floor in a stance used to stand firmly on reeling decks positioning him between her and Vigny.
That's a bad decision, at least for you. I had hoped to avoid that!
"Bah...." Darvan exclaims with disgust.
"We're not going to catch them with that head start." he finishes, coming to a stop.
"Sure we will. We can run then down or shoot them from afar. We will beat them, just like we did the other creatures. I'm sure we can do this!" After letting out her encouraging words, she sprints after the goblins. Her lithe form moves in rapid and graceful movements, catching up to the goblins with her weapons at the ready, though not quite able to strike at them yet.
Vigny gawks at all the frantic activity. She actually reaching into her belt pouch for a bit of food to offer the goblin-ish little guy, assuming his stomach and brain work roughly the same as those of the goblins back home, when the attack comes.
Maka runs as fast as his legs allow. Those goblins must not escape!
Gnarok loads his rifle and says to Neziana, ”Alright then Shouty. ”
He shoulders his weapon and takes a shot at one of the fleeing goblins. He misses and curses loudly.
Darvan watches the other charge after the goblins towards the undergrowth.
"Those goblins didn't do anything to me." he says.
He trots back around to the front of the house to the location of the original confrontation.

The Chase
Gnarok takes a shot at the fleeing Goblins but it misses wide.
Neziana and Makanaky charge after the Goblins!
Gnarok, two of your companions spring ahead while Darvan states, "Those goblins didn't do anything to me" and heads back to the Smithy.

Battle in the Smith
Lalali's spear strike is devastating, the Goblin clutches at the wound that may well have punctured a lung. But Goblins are tough and it tries to stab back at her with his own spear. Lalali's studded leather blocks the spear from causing her any injury.

You use magic to discern what items are of the most value. The potions all register as conjuration magic, cure potions! The shirt is also magic, transmutation, a quick runner's shirt allowing extra movement.

Maka's heart is about to explode a he witnesses the goblins far away from him...
Caiden collects anything valuable then does a sweep through the buildings as well.
Vigny stops rummaging for food and chops the goblin with a tail? What's THAT about?
"Not nice! I was going to feed you!"
One tough goblin, like a pest! Dare to raise your spear against me? I'll put an end to that!
Talmandor's Bounty
Vigny's attack puts the Goblin down. Lalali is about to strike once more when she realizes that it has perished.
A moment later a shot goes off from outside of the Smithy.
---
Gnarok considers whether to take another shot as Makanaky and Neziana give chase.
Of the two Goblins, one is able to get away while the other is just too slow.
Makanay manages to get ahead and Neziana is behind having slowed down a bit due to a pain in her side from rushing through the jungle. The Goblin draws a spear and jabbers in its Goblin-like language.
"You no belong here. You let go or I bleed you pink-faces!"
---
Darvan, you trot back to the Smithy to find that the Goblin prisoner is now a corpse.
---
Caiden as you pack up all of the gear you hear a shot go off from behind you, it seems that the other Pathfinders have entered combat!
Maka just cuts the goblin's gibberish by slamming its face with his shield.
Darvan looks at Lalali Re and Vigny and asks: "What happened? Did it try to attack you?"
Vigny sighs. "Yeah Darvan, he did try. And I was trying to give him some food. Goblins are full of bad ideas."
"What's going on out there?" she asks the druid after hearing the shot.
Gnarok heads back to meet with the party that stayed behind, "The goblins ran. Tried to shoot 'em down. Didn't work."
"More of them. Seem incline to run rather than fight." Darvan answers her.
"Doesn't seem like they're to blame for the colonists being missing."
"Put down your weapon and lie down on the ground and we won't kill you Neziana." Neziana gasps out in goblin as she catches up to the goblin and Makanaky.
Vigny shrugs offhandedly.
"Eh, they're just goblins. Wouldn't necessarily want a dozen of them fining me alone in the wilderness. But a village, especially one that could defend itself at all? It'd take a whole bunch of goblins to matter in that case. They're probably scavenging."
"I agree." Darvan replies back to Vigny.
"There must be a deeper mystery and a more serious problem here than goblins or gremlins."
"Is there any sign of any non-goblin related disturbance here? Have you had a chance to look?"
He looks around for clues.
"I'll get back to trying to find any records the colony may have been keeping, but first, since I'm here..."
Vigny takes a look around inside the building the goblins were in.

The Smithy
Caiden enters the smithy meeting up with most of the rest of the group. In the open area where smith work took place lies a strange looking Goblin bleeding out on the floor.
A search by Vigny reveals a few items of value, two masterwork machetes, a masterwork chain shirt, and a darkwood buckler of quite fine make. There are also 40 metal arrowheads.
It appears that the reason why the living quarters are such a mess is that the Goblins were living in the place.
Besides the mess made by the Goblins, it is not clear what else took place here.

Round 1 -
Goblin
& Neziana - GO!
Makanaky
Seeing that the goblin doesn't listen to her Neziana moves to engage. Her movements are graceful as she carefully picks her way across the battlefield to avoid being struck down. Just as she gets close enough she moves to grab her weapon in two hands and stabs out. Her estoc flies with blinding speed and tries to skewer the goblin, one, two, three times. After striking out she moves her weapon back over to one hand, getting into a more defensive posture to ward off any blows coming her way.
Darvan kneels down and casts Stabilize on the goblin.
"Where is the rest of the group?" Caiden said as he entered the smithy.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
A whole tribe of goblins might be threat enough for a young colony like this. Or at least add enough threat to something else. Let's look after the others and search on!
"Nah, I'm gonna look around here. It wasn't a good idea to go running off through who knows what after a couple of goblins. First because a couple of goblins aren't worth the chase, and second because you might run straight into something worse."
"They'll come back when they're ready, or they won't come back in which case at least some of us are still alive to do the job we're supposed to be doing."
Vigny continues rummaging through the shop, gathering the things that look useful.
"Nice mail! This smith is talented!"
"Is anyone hurt?"

The Action
Neziana arrives winded and her strikes and not well placed enough to land a blow on the Goblin.
Round 2 -
The Goblin spins and attempts to strikes at Neziana with his spear but her defenses are far too strong to overcome.
Neziana and Mak - GO!

The Smithy
Darvan manages to stabilize the Goblin which hovers over death's door.
Mak bashes again at the goblin, this time trying not to impale himself in the goblin's spear.
Neziana's face heats up in embarrassment as all three of her blows goes wide. She ponders her options for a moment, but decides to press the attack. The tiefling stabs out with her estoc, then moves in close so she can bite at the opponent at the same time as she brings her cestus around to connect with it's skull.
