GM Knight of the Green Lantern's We be Goblins! (Inactive)

Game Master Muzouka

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.

You are now all on board. Slide 7 shows a side view of the boat and where you are right now.

Chuffy moves up the steps and looks for a trap on the door. If so, he will try to disable the trap. If no trap, he will try to pick the lock, if locked.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Disable device 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

As Chuffy is busy with trying to open the door, Mogmurch inspects the clutter of objects littering the main deck for anything useful.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

The door to the cabin is on the other side of the deck. No traps on the door. I've added a map of the main deck to slide 7.

Rounding the corner Chuffy spots a door and moves to inspect it. He is stopped by growling coming from the other side of the mast. Mogmurch notices some chain tied to the mast.

Reta moves up behind Mogmurch. "Did you find doggo? I hate doggos"

Chuffy stays silent and tries to sneak back in the direction he came from.

Stealth 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

If he is able to make it back to the others, he tells Reta. ”Nope. No dog. Reta go check it out. Coast am all clear!”

"Maybe," Mogmurch replies to Reta. He draws out his weapon. "Go check? I come with you."

"Poog watch, make you do right.", says Poog as he readies a javelin.

The chain rattles as a scruffy mongrel with a crooked tail comes into view. Feral and half-starved it looks at you as if you would taste good with ketchup. The leash is short enough that the dog would not reach you from your current position but it is just long enough to reach the door.See lower map on slide 7

From up on the upper deck above you another dog starts barking.

"Mog chuck a bomb at the dog. It cant do anything to us tied to that chain." Reta says poking the alchemist with her dogslicer.

"Sure, watch this!"

Although his aim is still at the experimental stage, Mogmurch unsteadily throws a bomb at the mutt.

Attack (Bomb, DC 12): 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 2 = 2

Chuffy delays, letting the dog focus on the other two so he can begin sneaking around next round.

Poog delays until the dog come in sight.

Mogmurch's unsteady aim misses the dog and it breaks on the mast, coating the chain.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Str check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Chuffy's attempts at being sneaky fails as this dog is specially trained to hunt goblins and it lunges at the rogue, the weakened chain breaking at the dog's surprising strength.

Dog Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Chuffy's Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Mogrush's Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Poog's Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Reta's Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Combat begins! Round 1
Chuffy
Mogrush
Reta
Poog
Dog

Mogmurch moves to slice at the dog, keeping it busy for the rogue to reposition himself.

Applying Sickened maluses

Attack: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

As the dog started it, Chuffy has no choice but to stand and fight.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Damage 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Reta moves in and attacks the dog

slice: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Poog rushes forward and throws his javelin...

ranged attack vs. Dog: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
possible Piercing damage vs. Dog: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Mogmurch lands a hit but his weakened state robs his blow of any force. Chuffy has more luck and draws blood with a small wound. It evades Reta but Poog's javelin strikes true and it almost skewers the dog end to end. The wound it receives bleeds freely.

Maddened by its' wounds the dog barks loudly and attempts to take a bite out of Reta.
Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

From up above you hear another dog straining to break free.
Str: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Excited by the dog's blood, Mogmurch takes another swing at him, but widely misses.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Chuffy takes a 5’ step and flanks the dog, as he tries to end its life quickly.

Flanking Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Damage 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 plus
1d6 ⇒ 6 sneak attack

Internet is wonky, so I can’t see the map. If I can 5’ step and flank, I will do so. If not, please edit the above rolls. Thanks!

Moved Chuffy to flank with Reta.

Been waiting for Reta, but...

Poog decides to go up the ladder(?) to where the other dog is barking and try to talk it down...

Speak with Animals, At will—speak with animals (4 rounds/day)

"Well hello there. If I was chained up I would be angry too. You are probably hungry too. We killed a mean horse inside the fence. If I set you free, and you promise not to eat my friends and me, you can go eat it all by yourself."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Bleh.

Reta strikes at the dog between her and chuffy.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

-----------------
Upper Deck
-----------------

Poog moves up the ladder to the upper deck to see a mangy hound tied to the central mast. It is barking and straining in the direction of the fighting down below.

At the cleric's words the dog notices and starts trying to get at him instead. "FOOOOD! FOOOOOD! Come here food!"

It is obviously half crazed of hunger as it tries to get at the cleric.
Str: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

-----------------
Main deck
-----------------

Reta's strike misses as the dog dodges. From the previous attacks it looks like the dog is about to collapse.

Round 2
Chuffy
Mogrush
Reta
Poog
Dog hp -5

Mogmurch tries to deliver the killing blow.

"Die, mutt!"

Attack: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Chuffy again flanks the dog, as he tries to use clumsy Reta’s attack as a welcome distraction.

Flanking Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20

Damage 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 plus
1d6 ⇒ 1sneak attack

Poog says, "Yes! I was hoping you would say no." as he casts a spell at the dog....

possible Fire damage vs. Dog: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Burning Hands; DC=13

...and then moves.

-----------------
Main deck
-----------------
Chuffy's blade finds a home on the dogs back and it falls with a whimper.

-----------------
Upper deck
-----------------

Ref save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
The dog manages to avoid the cone of flame but still received some singed fur. Hearing its' companion dying whine it redoubles its attempts to break free of its leash and barks louder.

Str: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Round 2
Chuffy
Mogrush
Reta
Poog
Dog 2

Reta steps over the dead doggo and climbs the ladder to help Poog with the second mutt.

Double move

Round 2
Chuffy
Mogrush
Reta
Poog
Dog 2

-----------------
Upper deck
-----------------
"More food! More food! You look nice and crunchy! Come here food! Come! Here! Me still have some ketchup mistress left last time." growls the dog as it sees Reta come up though only Poog can understand it.

Chuffy will move up right behind Reta to help with the second dog.

Mogmurch runs to the upper deck, ready to attack the mangy dog from the right.

Full move

Reta swipes at the dog with the slicer

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
confirm crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

With one stroke Reta beheads the dog and it falls down dead.

You win!

As you see the dog's head roll to a stop you notice there is a cabin on this deck. It is smaller than the one below and it has smoke coming out of its' chimney.

Mogmurch contemplates licking the dog's blood off his blade, but the taste upsets his already painful stomach. Instead, he wipes it on his rags, smearing them with red.

"Someone in there?" he asks his teammates, staring at the smoke coming out of the cabin's chimney. "I can get on the roof and drop a bomb," he snickers.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Mogmurch attempts to climb on the roof, in spite of his small frame and his nearly atrophied muscles. As he gets on top, however, it finally dawns to him that, if the fireworks happen to be stored in this cabin, throwing a bomb would make everything explode (which is good), himself included (which is not so good). Instead, he settles for the less dangerous option of an acid vial, which he drops in the chimney.

Chuffy claps his hands and waits to see the resulting explosions.

After a short climb Mogmurch reaches the top of he chimney and drops the vial of acid. Putting his ear close to the chimney he hears a plop and something bubbling and he smells something cooking.

”Smell yummy....maybe we cook dogs for dinner, too,” Chuffy suggests. If nothing else happens, he moves to the closest entrance to the ship proper, and checks the door for traps.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

There are no traps on the door and you find it is unlocked.

Chuffy opens the door, hoping dumb ole strong Reta will lead the way in.

This room is a blood-splattered chamber of horror. Dead rodents, snakes, and birds have been variously nailed, tied, and hung around the walls. At the far end of the room, a large cauldron bubbles over an iron stove set against the aft wall, its stovepipe chimney extending up through the ceiling. A bloody burlap sack sits on the floor next to the stove. The center of the room contains a long, rickety table surrounded by chairs that contain several grisly decorations—a whole family of skeletal goblins, their bones bleached white and bound together by reeds and twine.

Instead of a nice explosion, Mogmurch unfortunately hears nothing but a muted splash, and not a single cry of pain.

"Nobody's home," he tells his teammates in a disappointed tone, before sulkily climbing down of the roof.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 Welp
Reflex save if needed (+2 Bouncy trait): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

Once inside the room, he starts searching it for nice stuff, looking inside the cauldron to see if he can spot his precious vial.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Chuffy follows Moggy in.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Poog stands in the doorway and casts Detect Magic. He then starts to scan the room carefully...

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Was Poog able to collect either of his javalins?

"how disappointing. All we get to kill is doggos and horses and spiders. Where the longshanks." Reta says walking in scratching her noggin.

Loud barking greets you as soon as everyone enters the room from beside the pot.You see a hulking, rheumy-eyed, lumbering cur bigger than most goblins. You've heard of this dog before. They say Vorka is so terrifying she has even tamed a dog! This must be it! This must be Cuddles, Vorka's favorite pet.

Unlike the two other dogs Vorka has this one so well trained it does not need a leash to your dismay as it jumps out to attack!

Cuddles's init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Reta's init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Poog's init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Mogmurch's init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Chuffy's init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Combat begins!
Reta
Chuffy
Cuddles
Mogmurch
Poog

Aware that he won't be much help in melee, Mogmurch glances at the cauldron, wondering if he'd be able to spill its boiling, acid-filled water on the dog.

Not my turn yet, but I was wondering if it'd be possible to spill the contents on the cauldron on Cuddle, or if the cauldron is too heavy or too hot for a small goblin to turn over ^^

Chuffy moves to the doorway and throws a dart at the flat footed doggie.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 plus
1d6 ⇒ 3 sneak attack

Could someone move me, please? Thanks!
