Chief Rendwattle's page

I love one on one games. I am currently participating in two of these type of games one GMing and one playing.

I would suggest to maybe reduce the number of monsters at any one time if you plan on having the two characters. However I do find that boss fights tend to be more epic than with a larger party.

I would also suggest allowing your player to run the Cleric in combat as well as his own character, if your player is up for it that is. This helps to bring the PC into the game a bit more when it isn't their turn. This works well in the games I play.

The most noticeable change from larger games is of course the fact that you have no other PC's to discuss ideas/strategies with. The best way to deal with this is probably what you have already mentioned and have a GMPC in the game. Playing via the forum will probably help alot as well. Perhaps having different alias's for major NPC's etc would help as well.

This is some of the things I can think off of the top of my head and hopefully they can be a little bit of help.

"No Kill Humies? Ever?" Before he could get a reply Darts had ran off.

Hairy grabs the potion greedily dropping his finger "Mmmm, Me eat this?" He looks at Slicy but she to was gone.

"Dead things? What about if no head left?" He follows after the group trying to catch up with them. Me so confused.

You zigzag through the streets and quickly come closer to the sound of fighting ahead of you. Looking around a corner you see a large town square that was set up for a festival. Several large pots stand on tables, whatever inside sending steam floating into the air. Further in the square you see what must be the cause of at least some of the sound. Several heavily armed humanoids seem to be battling the Goblins, as you watch you see several of your race fall.

Smoke billows from behind a large building in the square.

Haha I know ;)

"Me evilhairykiller but you can call me... Hairy...as long as you say it nice." He rubs his nose once again "Ok...me come with you...me don't know I heard something about a humie party today." He shrugs "Me no know much else."

"Me say food party." He starts laughing hysterically at this for several minutes before abruptly stopping. "What be Happening? What's going on?" He smile disappears completely and the creature sounds...sad. You swear you can see a tear forming in its evil black eyes "Me wouldn't know. Me asked to join. But nasty Goblins said me was to fat and Hairy. Said me would just mess up their fun." He starts blubbering slightly "B-but looook me helped...m-me help a lot." He points over to the guards and pops a large bubble of snot that had started blowing out of his nose. He looks down at the little Goblins "Y-you can go in if l-like."

As you draw closer the smell of fire and smoke clings to the air almost overpowering you. The gates are already open as you approach and standing in the gateway on top of what was several Human guards is a Bugbear. As he spots you he rubs a large scabby hand across the grey fur that is matted on the top of it's thick skull, piercing black eyes stare at each one of you in turn before he crawls down from the small pile, making sure to grab a finger as he shambles over. He stands to his full height of 7 feet and chews on the finger, spitting the nail out his mouth as he talks "Join party huh? What that thing?" He points to the strange axe beaked bird.

Haha not going to lie slippage is possible :P

I thought that it might be a nice touch so I am glad that you like it ;)

The small group walks along the road, the Goblin screams that once pierced the air grow quiet. A small breeze blows from the direction of the marsh bringing with it the damp, earthy smell of a swamp.

You pass upon the road without much incident, the way been empty of any other travellers. To the north east you see farm land that stretches away to the rushing waters of a river and behind that the craggy surface of the mountains.

Several hours later you pass the mountain and in the distance you see Sandpoint, smoke plumes from inside the walls and rises high above the city...

You can the thump and slap of Goblin feet coming from the Tunnel and can feel the ground tremble slightly along with curses echoing from exit.

Slicy drops the Caltrops and Darts sets up the fireworks for a little surprise.

Quickly the newly formed group makes there way out of the small forest and onto Lost Coast Road. You stand atop a small hill and are able to see the mouth of the tunnel explode in a sparkly shower of rainbow. Screams and squeals burst from the hole, you get the feeling they won't be following you to soon.

You are now on Lost Coast Road. I will put a map up of the Hinterlands around Sandpoint later. Where do you want to go next ;)

Sorry about the delay :)

You travel through the tunnel with Flygob and Hammy, just in time it seems like because you swear you can hear the sound of Gobliny shouting back at the tree and through the din your sure you can make out the voice of Korg. You come out at lost coast roads among a clearing in a small group of trees and tall bushes. In the centre of the clearing sits another crazy looking Goblin you try to get a good look but suddenly a strange bird creature bursts from the trees.

"Fine third then and 30 shiny gold that taste nice. Me wants to come with because it good...invest."

Flygob smiles slyly "Let me think." She twiddles the hair on her chin inbetween two large wrinkly fingers "Where you Goblins be going and what you be doin? If you take me with you and give me spoils and half the fireworks that you got then you can have presents from me sometimes." She turns to Darts "Would you want this." She holds up a vile of liquid "This make you agile like a cat."

The group isn't into Psionics sorry bout that :(

Misterlurch: If you want to run up a Kobold Sorcerer that would be cool and your in ;)

Garabbott: Witch looks good so if you still want to play then your in :D

Check into Discussion when you feel ready ;)

Recruitment closed now :)

I said no to a ninja app due to overkill in rogue department but the guy mentioned that he would like to play a psionic goblin. I have never played with or GMed Psionics and to be honest haven't read up on the stuff. So would you guys be into that class or do you think it wouldn't fit?

We also had another person ask about playing a Kobold. Personally I don't mind but I just wondered if you guys were bothered about that ;)

Zooks: There is no Trick for riding but I think that you have to make checks to be able to fight when riding.

Number of tricks, I can't remember how many you get but I am pretty sure it is five then add on the Bonus ones. I may be wrong but even so I would assume you would have taught it something in the time you were together :P

Dervish Dancer is cool with me :D

I am going to have to say no to the ninja just because we already have two rogues in the party so I think that would be overkill in that department. I will ask the group about Psionics though for you :)

Sorcerer is cool and I am fine with Kobold but again I will ask the group. :)

Flygob takes the wand and begins chewing viciously on the tip after a moment she stops her gnawing "Deal." She takes the vial of Black lotus and hands it to Nuggle.

"Battleaxe?" She climbs nimbly into the cart and rummages through the things before pulling out a large surprisingly shiny axe. She jumps down of the cart and holds out the weapon, the sharpened curves were honed to a bright red sheen. "Me got this? What you give?"

Masterwork battle axe that is ;)

What character you got in mind? :)

We got a Goblin Druid on the way once the build is finished :D

Do you guys want any other players added or are you happy with 4 :)

Flygob smiles Knew got myself a fishy. She turns to Nuggle "Hmm what you give for big poison? I have lots." She starts rummaging through the fly laden cart and pulls out several vials, she holds each one in the air as she speaks and puts on a creepy posh accent "Belladonna, Insanity Mist, Black Lotus." A smile plays across her lips "Me even have...Azure Lily Pollen."

It's up to you Nuggle if you know what those poisons are :D

It's no problem Slicy :P hope you get better soon :)

"Hmm so you want to do a switchy? Me got magic potion that let you float. Or me got big poison that kill."

I don't think Korg is coming back so I have written him from the group :(

No problem :P Nuggle can just about make out their conversation :)

"Flygob got lots of stuff. Me got some drinking potions, some little rings for little fingers, some pig urine, old weapons. Me also take things off you if you don't want them anymore."

Just assume you guys got all the fireworks aswell :)

Flygob jumps as Darts pops up from behind "Me just walking through." She turns to look at the yellow Goblin "Ah you one of those ones. The one big chief of Licktoads is coming for." She smiles wickedly "One of your friends ran off to Chief. Told him you be taking Chief's fireworks."

She turns back to look at her cart swatting a fly from her wrinkly face and in the process wafting one of the foulest stenches ever smelled directly at Darts face. A disgusting blend of excrement, onion, egg, cheese topped with a healthy dose of herbs and spices. You wanna buy anything?

I am leaving that completely up to the characters. The game at the minute is wild and uninhibited :D

You don't have to read the game thread only if you feel like it :P

You sneak up behind her and see that her cart has managed to get stuck in the swamp muck "Damn...cart...Flygob should have big fly thing...make it so no stuck."

Yeah thats fine :P will even out the ratio a bit :D

Fire school is good and a wizard could be useful ;)

Alchemist would work great aswell and for a Cleric I think generally something evil or chaotic would work nice :P

What's a Blue Goblin soul knife?

The Campaign originated as the We Be Goblins module but this has now been completed and we have decided to continue the adventure.

This is being run as a kind of open world adventure where you guys can do anything you wish to. Currently the party is trying to escape Chief Rendwattle after not returning the fireworks.

Currently in the party:

2 Goblin Rogues(Very different styles)
Goblin Fighter
Goblin Titan Mauler(Possible MIA)

Creation Rules:

I agree I think either one of those would be fantastic.

I will open up recruitment shortly then :)

Link to Recruitment

Looking out the window you see an old hag of a Goblin pushing an mouldy, rusty cart across the swamp. Several little bells hang from the side of the cart, that tinkle gently as she struggles with what is obviously a heavy load.

The Goblin herself seems to be dressed in filthy rags and slime from the swamp drips from her bulbous head. The cart is piled high with rubbish and you can see huge swarms of buzzing flies engulf the hag and her things.

KN: Local check please :D

You seem to hear a faint ringing, as if there was a bell been shook. The noise is to faint to be coming from inside the house and you quickly realize that it must be from the swamp outside.

It's a bit like santa's sleigh :P

We may have lost him or he may just be busy :) I will give him a few more days but if he doesn't show what would you guys like me to do?

I could get an NPC set up that kinda follows the party or I could recruit another player.

Just assume Korg has gone on some unknown errand for now.

Haha so Darts is gunna be chewing on people now :P

Slicy that is great for now thanks :D I have put the stats in the Campaign Info just for reference :)

Has anyone heard from Korg lately? I think his last post said something about him being ill.

Chief Rendwattle is gunna be after you guys :P

Just let me know when you guys are ready to start the next part of your story ;)

Also make sure to have your characters updated to level 2 :D You all also get one Bonus feat of your choosing :P

Yeah of course :P nice idea :D

You going to need Spellcraft to be able to use it :)

So two Goblins want to go back to camp and two want to go on merry goblin adventures :D

The ship begins to suddenly creek and groan. The floor seems to vibrate with anger and tears of mud creeps through the floorboards trickling down to your feet. The floor seems to be tilting and you start to feel gravity pull at your back!!!

Need an Acrobatics check against DC 15. Fail and you fall over :P

The room is large and has a bed in one corner that was clearly used by Vorka. In another corner is a large pile of leaves and twigs. Dotted about the room is large piles of wooden ornaments but the more important looking things you find are:

Searching through the burned ape doesn't reveal anything.

The box swings open easily revealing it's juicy contents.

Inside are dozens of fireworks:

Looking around you get the strange feeling you know this place. Goblin heads are stuck on spikes in the soggy ground, pieces of bodies litter the marsh garden.

Finally there is a large blood red goblin face painted onto a sign.

Nuggle stabs into the back of beasts burning neck, boiling blood sprays from the fire as it slumps to the ground, then Slicy laughing swings her axe and parts the leathery head from its shoulders.
The head rolls along the floor and its mouth seems to be stuck in a strange grin.

Looking past the body blocking the doorway you see a small way into the room. That view reveals one thing... a huge red box with strange letterings printed on the side.

Nuggle's attack drives deep into the beasts back and it screams in agony, the poison has no visible effect on this creature.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Slicy's axe slashes down but the creatures thick hide manages to deflect any damage.

Suddenly a blast of flame engulfs the creature, it screams in pain and anger, the stench of burned hair fills the room. The flames splash from the beast and hit Korg, Darts and Slicy.

The now bald, flaming beast tries to slash out at the biggest target it could see...Korg. One of its flailing claws connects and slash deep into Korg's flesh.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Korg retaliates his cutlass driving deep into it's chest. The creature falls to it's knees on it's last legs.

No Probs me matey.

The creature bats aside Korg's attack with ease. It seems to laugh mockingly at the large Goblin.

Round 1: Begin!!!

Nuggle: 20
Slicy: 18
Darts: 14+
G: 14-
Korg: 10

Yep you sure do ;)

The bolt punches into the beasts chest and disappears in a spurt of blood beneath the fur.

I hope this bad boy manages to get an attack in with you guys ;)

Have any of you guys used Roll20?

I was just wondering if it was any good?

Was hoping that would surprise you ;)

Slicy misses the creatures head but not by much, instead the axe lodges itself deep into the furry shoulder, it roars in pain and fury as you wrench the axe back dragging a string of muscle along with it.

Darts: Have you got the right modifier for your crossbow attack? It's late so I may be having a silly moment.

Korg's turn next :D

It's no problem I do it all the time aswell :P

Sorry about the delay guys will try not to let it happen again :)

Don't mean to get on at anyone with this but can we try not to look at spoilers that aren't directed at them please :) I know it's so tempting to just click the show button :P If you really can't resist then can you just pretend you haven't read it ;)

Sorry about the delay :)

The door swings open revealing what at first glance appears to be simple and impenetrable darkness, but then you notice the deep red eyes staring down at you. Huge grey hands crack the door frame as the creature leans forward, it's pitch black fur hanging down from it's incredibly muscular body. Yellowish white fangs are revealed and spittle flies from its mouth as it screams in rage.

Nuggle: 20
Slicy: 18
Darts: 14+
G: 14-
Korg: 10

LINK: What you're facing.

You get a surprise round because obviously you were prepared to fight. So take your actions as you feel :)

Yeah I still want to play :)

I thought I posted the other day but must have been mistaken :( sorry bout that.
