Ay, Dog Tooth is apart of what seems to be a failed WOTW game. People keep calling him a goblin but he doesn't get why. He's an empiricist investigator, and if he were to be gestalt, I'd say he'd be an executioner slayer. His personality might change a bit but this profile should serve as a decent submission.
Yeah, sure thing Ami. We've uh got this Oh m-m-man I can do this. It'll be easy. Just uh climb up, give it a good look around and then come back. No one'll see me. Quick and quiet. Whoa, ok well...here goes nothin'
"C-come on now, Itzal. Let's see what we see"
Hey yeah, sound's like a solid plan Ami. We'll take to the walls, take whatever guards are there out, and p-pay Blackerly a visit. Dog Tooth slams his balled up fist into the palm of his hand to emphasize his intentions.
The unexpected tap on the shoulder violently pops Dog Tooth out of his productivity bubble. The concoction turns sour as a greenish-blue flame spikes out of the beaker. Narrowly missing the flame, Dog Tooth pulls off his goggles and turns around to face Ami, singe marks outlining where the goggles were. He stares at her silently for an uncomfortable period, breathing heavily, holding eye contact. As his tension dissipates, his breathing slows, and he finally speaks. "Ami, p-please.. please don't touch me w-when I am working. Give me a minute to unwind and I'll take care of it" He turns back around and packs everything he's used back into it's proper place, then heads to Ami's locked drawer. What a waste. I almost had a pretty good batch of Alchemist's Fire, too. At least there's no one here to beat me for my failure, but damn if I don't feel like I deserve it.
How cruel that I find a lab now of all times. J-just great. He looks over it's content enthusiastically, and let's out a gasp Oh wow...l-look at these flasks! D-d'ya think I've got enough time to make a thing or two? A-alchemist's F-fire m-might be u-useful for later....uh just in case.
if time allows:
And the good luck train keeps on rolling
"Pft yeah yeah, whatever. S-should've known this Wizard was useless" he replies to Ami. He steps on the Wizard on as he passes him by, making sure to add extra pressure on his chest. He gives the room a good long look and gets to work.
Oh great....
Dog Tooth takes a knee to stash his equipment. Oh man, I really don't want to be bogged down by all this stuff. Uhhh let's see. He looks down between the rapier and the crossbow,contemplating which to use. His finger moves back and forth between the two until he decides on
I say we get the jump on him before he has a chance to uh piece things together. P-perhaps Grumblejack and Kalethe can grapple him and uh break his h-hands... y'know, so he can't cast a thing on any of us. The landing is cramped but it c-could deter him from casting anything that may harm him in the process due to proximity. Or, if we attack in the Library, he may be too cautious to damage any of his precious books, or uh..tapestry. Just, uh, just some ideas.
Dog Tooth's ears perk up at the sight of the library. F-f-finally he sets down the crossbow and starts perusing the collection excitedly. He scampers around from one section to another, looking for something he might like
Readying his crossbow, Dog Tooth falls in line behind Kalethe and tiptoes up the staircase.
Dog Tooth shuffles about, unlocking the rest of the chests. .
Dog Tooth excitedly grabs for the crossbow, dusting it off and giving it a once over. He cocks it back, gives it a shot to make sure it's in working order. Hm...yeah, this'll do Before stringing it on his back, he cocks it again, just in case. He then picks up the rapier and inspects it's blade before giving it a few thrusts. Oh yeah, back in the saddle He falls in line behind Ami and Ashmoniel as they head to the guardroom, with an extra pep in his step. Ugh, where are all the good books?
Would the rapier and crossbow happen to be sized for smaller hands perhaps maybe yes?
He picks up the flask and gives it a good sniff. He pours a tiny bit out into the palm of his hand and inspects it.
As he discovers the lock box, Dog Tooths eyes grow large. His typically small mouth turns into a wide, toothy grin. He licks his lips with excitement. He plants his feet and pulls hard to remove the box, and then begins to unlock it.
He moves onto Ami's locked room and gives the lock a try .
Blackerly sure is a gambling man... He says as he rubs his hands. Now if I were that fat slob...where would I keep the thing? He walks to the wardrobe and searches for anything valuable, then moves to the table and finally the bed. He overturns the room, in hopes of finding anything of value-- gold, weapons, magic items, a golden apple.
The sounds of clinking and clattering pauses for a moment while Dog Tooth takes in Ami's idea. I really... rrreally wouldn't mind having her around. She's definitely my kind of thinker. He goes back to digging through the storeroom while he addresses Ami I like the way you think, Ami. He steps back into the office, with the metal brands in hand I guess we won't be needing these then? Dog Tooth returns to the storeroom where he sets aside 10 50' ropes and 4 filled lanterns next to the entrance of the office. After putting the last full lantern down, he scurries over to the other locked door in the room and begins to unlock that .
Dog Tooth cautiously steps into the room after Ami,smiling at her enthusiasm. By uh, all means, have at it. He scurries over towards the northern door, and begins to . He takes his time with the door, making sure to be as precise as possible. The sounds of Ami rustling the papers and the clicks of the lock takes him back a week, to the comforts of the lab. It almost felt like home, the two of them working diligently on their tasks. But, there was no home. Dog Tooth shakes his head to clear his thoughts and calls out to Ami. Find anything worthwhile?
Dog Tooth scurries out of the dining hall, lock pick tools in hand. He said somewhere across the hall... he thinks to himself as he notices there are two possible doors. He looks back and forth between the door in front of him and the door down the hallway. Uhhh and he signals the others towards the door across from the dining hall door. pssst! Bring the body this way!
We should probably do something with the servants before they try something heroic
Hope I'm not derailing. I just don't see DT as being useful in combat so he's scouting around for supplies or anything that could be useful in their escape. If y'all are ready to go on with the plan, go for it. Sorry!
He quietly shuts the door and relays the information. Ami, it seems clear out this way. Looks to be a garden. The perimeter seems free of guards, but I may be wrong... Dog Tooth then turns quickly and points towards the more honest of the two servants Hey, you! You said there are off-duty guards...where do they keep their weapons? There's gotta be an armory on the premise.
Well great, Dog Tooth thinks to himself, there goes that plan. We need to figure a thing out before we find ourselves at the chopping block... He begins to pace the kitchen, as Kalethe goes on with his "pain" routine, and he stops at the kitchen door. He quietly opens the door and peeks outside .
XD Indeed you're not rolling the social skills well. Which is fine by me! He's spent most of his life as a lab lackey, slaving away for his comically villainous Dick-Dastadly-esque Alchemist/Evil Scientist-type. Horrible social rolls are perfectly in character, and I kind of welcome them (as long as it doesn't ruin things for everyone else).
Probably should've left that diplomacy check up to Ami
While Dog Tooth searches around the kitchen for a more manageable weapon --a knife, mallet, rolling pin--anything that could be better used by a goblin.-- he notices a door towards the east. Completely ignoring Kalethe, he points at the door and asks one of the servants "That door, it leads outside, right? Can we escape Branderscar through that door?" in a near-whisper. Threatening the servants gives him an idea.... "Do you have a large cart or wagon? Can...c-can the two of you lead us out of Branderscar? I will see to it that you are greatly compensated..."
I went ahead and moved everyone into the appropriate rooms. Hope everyone's ok with that.
He looks down to the second piece of fruit in his hand unsure of whether he is hungry still. To make sure, he licks it one more time but decides against it. He places it back where he found it.
Dog Tooth throws his hands up in a false-apology as he walks away from Iana and Paul.
He takes the chimney route down into the kitchen along with Ashmoniel.
You guys are right. I should've tried the shot. If only I made a stellar Knowledge Engineering check to bounce the arrow off the walls and into the guard's throat.
His ears perk and Dog Tooth let's the longbow drop to the ground
Dog Tooth looks up towards Ashmoniel, and then at Iana, then at Ami and down at himself. He holds his arms out, hands pointed towards himself, and then points towards the longbow. After the awkward silence, he speaks up with his deep monotonous voice
"Well, uh... We've got one hallway, four doors, one guard and one horn..."
"The chimney's all yours Kalethe. We'll meet you downstairs. Maybe we can uhh find some ointments to treat those burns."
So I picked up the Alchemy Manual and there's a bunch of awesome things that I'm interested in learning along the way. Would you allow the crafting of alchemical bolts? I figured Dog Tooth would keep a set of "trick" bolts for his light crossbow along with other alchemical weapons for special occasions. Also, re: my earlier post about combat role
Coming with a combat use for Dog Tooth is a challenge. I've been thinking of builds to make him useful but I thought I'd ask you guys.
Dog Tooth picks himself off the floor, dusts himself off and complies with Iana's plan. He drags his feet as hides behind the cell room door. He's grown restless and bored. Having seen nothing but the dreary, dingy walls of Branderscar has left him needing stimulation. A book, a pamphlet, an invoice-- anything to read would suffice.
"Y'know, this place has been getting to my head. Originally, after leaving Branderscar, I wanted to run and find my old master. D-don't know what it is that gave me a change of heart but uh I wanna stay. For the long haul. I've learned a meaningful thing being here with you all.. Whatever these people have planned...Tiadora and her friend... I want to see it through... or at least until we're even."
I'm perfectly content with having dog tooth run away from combat during the prison break BUT he does have an enlarge person extract that he can use on himself, so he can hold onto the dagger for the time being
Dog Tooth takes a seat on the floor and begins to count the guards on his fingers and toes.
As Granius and Kalethe argue, Dog Tooth begins to pace anxiously. Not knowing what to expect outside of the current room is getting to him. He is conflicted. What he knows as logical is to wait until after sun down, while the guards play their games but what he feels is tugging at him, telling him to run as far away from Branderscar as possible. "Paul, Kalethe is right. We've got to wait, at least until sundown. I hate the idea of wasting even another second here but uhhh, that's logic for ya. S-sometimes it's best to do what you don't want to do. We'll wait. While we wait, we can have Itzal go back up the thing and scope the grounds out. From there we can piece together a crude map of the place and figure out where we're going."
" Hey Itzal, d-d'ya mind checking out that chimney chute? Let me know just how far down it goes...and maybe how far up too. I'm real curious to see what's in THAT room."
Dog Tooth pops the door open to the cell and heads towards the entrance door. He makes sure to step on the suffocating guard's throat on his way out. He peeks out to make sure the coast is clear.
