Beetly's page

are we really gonna have a one hour long feast at the vault entrance?

Paranoid, uncertain of his new allies, Beetly stays behind. It's hard to include him in any conversation, while he constantly observes everything and everyone.
Those who try to keep an eye on him, which is already pretty difficult, suddenly have it even harder. He's no longer sneaking on the ground, but flying under the ceiling while looking for the darkest spots to hide in.
If you can find him, he now has bat-like wings that make his appearance even more grotesque.

Beetly was startled at the friendly gesture and took the hand for an untrained handshake. "Friend? Oh, I don't know. But if you think so? Whatever..."
A worm crawls over his cheek and Beetly eats it.

Basically out of nowhere, from a dark corner of the hall, another goblin appears. This one comes as ugly and as dirty as every story tells. His clothes are filthy and vermin crawl all over him. Weren't it for his defensive gesture, the dwarves in the room would instinctively attack him.
my curse lowers inital attitude by one

The hideous appearance is further increased by a dark, formless veil that swirls around the goblin, making him extra hard to pinpoint.
Beetly does wear some standard things like a cloak, gloves and boots, but despite a buckler that seems to be made of very shiny metal somewhere under a layer of dirt and some pityful spikes on a mini gauntlet, he's not dressed for war. That is obvious.

The figure begins to studder:
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 5
"Er...I'm sorry to intrude. My name is Beetly. I understand this is the time and place to seek permission to access the vaults. I've been following and spying on the hobgoblin army for, uh, weeks or months, I don't even know. I work in the name of he great Lord of Spies Kelinahat, to gather information on, well I guess, our common enemy. If you don't mind, I'd like to join so that I can keep on pursuing..."

Beetly was following the Ironfang Legion undetected. When they entered the vault he stayed back and decided to investigate what they were up to afterwards. He would join the rest of the party somewhere in the beginning of the dungeon after he observed their honest intentions.

You say the ugliest goblin we've ever seen...but with a 22 CHA, I say you're likely the most lovely goblin we've ever seen (or perhaps the most lovely goblin that we've never seen, give your stealth). It just happens that the creepy crawlies agree with us on how handsome you are, and they got to you first, so maybe no hugs.

BTW, I'm VERY impressed with a +43 Stealth. Care to share tips to aspiring sneaks?

(Not to say that Kwiazy isn't also absolutely dashing. We seem to have an embarrassing abundance of handsome gobbos!)

I'm going with Cha=self-confidence. Goblins were never a pretty race or a race that values physical beauty in the first place. But yes, he is also very caring, even if he would never admit it.

I never planned for a high stealth score, it suddenly was there.
Small, Racial bonus, high dex, competence bonus from his revelation armor, max ranks. After seeing this I simply took the revelation that gives me skill focus and signature skill and Hide in Plain sight later.

in the corner stands, hovers actually, a silent and almost invisible small goblin. The ugliest one you've ever seen. Mostly because of all the vermin that crawl over him. He says nothing, just watches.
I have a +43 to Stealth.

I'm 99% done

Also...

* Can we (and do we have to) take an Ironfang Invasion campaign trait, given how far into the campaign we are?

* Do you allow a drawback in exchange for a 3rd trait?

these are important questions. GM, can you please answer?

I have my character finished in the pathbuilder app. It will take a while to write everything down in board format

Ui, 14,nice. HP: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 8) = 12

Hello, thanks for having me and such a fun loving party.

HP: 11d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 1, 1, 3, 3, 8, 5, 2, 1, 4) = 40
So, that's 7,5,4,4,4,4,8,5,4,4,4

I have one important mechanical question: Do you allow further upgrading of Celestial armor?

1. Are you as a player okay with our slow pace?

totally. In my experience, no game that wants to do a 1/day rythm can keep this up for long.

2. As your character progresses, what are your goals for them, story wise?

Fame and Glory, to become the greatest Goblin ever! How, you ask? By uniting longshanks and Goblins against their common enemy and earning the respect of both races.

3. As your character, what do the people of Sandpoint, including the Heroes, mean to you?

they used to be just neighbours. Now, they are unfortunate victims of what must be a great missunderstanding. Beetly will try to pour oil on troubled water and wants to help the heroes get behind this!

Goodbye everyone, have fun. I'm leaving this tournament.
This is no longer what I signed up for.
It's not a battle of different classes anymore. It's people playing the system. And this is not for me.

Beetly rises slightly, hovering above his mount. Then he releases a gust of wind aimed at the large bat.
