Goat the All-Powerful's page

However, with that sluggishness in mind, it's probably important to know when to let PCs talk things out and when to move things along.

Goat swallows the apple and bleats something at his hooded master. He nudges Sanstree, then trots past Erine into the room.

Even with Bull's Strength, it's only a 22. That'll require three other Aids.
To that end, however...
Goat trots over, reaches around the whirring blades and clamps his teeth down on Broccan's collar.
Strength (aiding): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18
That's another +2 to the check.

Goat stays between Erine and the baboon as the gnome witch attempts to escape.
Goat will ready an action to ram any who give Erine trouble.

"Chew on'niss!"

Aaaand the invisible creature turns out to be a giant rust monster...

Goat attempts to lick Orion.

"Oh, that was you..." Zaniah trails off, seemingly oblivious to Erine's suspicious look. "I thought I had heard of you. Traveling with heroes, hm..? This has gotten much more interesting. It seems a fair task. I shall give it my all."

She frowns when the Stormblades are mentioned. "And I see we have both had the displeasure of making their acquaintance."

"Maa."

Orion simply tilts its head quizzically in response, before licking his paw and hiding behind Zaniah's leg, glaring at the goat.

Goat steps forward and tries to nudge Orion with his nose.

Goat looks at Orion bemusedly, apparently torn between suspicion and curiosity.

Canvy moves next to Erine and casts a spell.
Lesser Confusion: Will save, DC 13, or the troll is confused for one round. 1d4
And he will attack the nearest creature. Dangit...

:P

Erine raises her hands as if picking something up. "Aboef!" she murmurs.
The banner is lifted off its hangers. It floats slowly over the troll.
Erine lowers her hands, ending the spell.

Dropping the burning banner on the half-troll.

Canvy moves next to Erine and casts a spell.
Lesser Confusion: Will save, DC 13, or the troll is confused for one round. 1d4 ⇒ 4

By the way, 1,000 posts! :D

Hobgoblin will save

1d20+1

Edrukk penalty is expired!

It's a Fort save, though it probably doesn't matter. :P

Goat's eyes narrow at Canvy. "Maaah," he says derisively.

Tiana backs off and she and Broccan destroy two of the rats, while the fiendish rat occupies itself by chewing at Canvy's jugular, causing 8 points of damage and a Fort save vs. 18.

You are up. Updated map

Ugh. I lost my 'X New' feature and missed all the latest posts. Apologies, Canvy.

Init 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Goat grunts and moves to sniff the newcomer. Erine sighs and walks over, standing by her familiar as he inspects Ms. Vang.

"Ay cannot say tha truth is inna steel. Fer tha druid tha truth is inna livin things inna wood an inna bone, inna flesh."

"Were it not fer yer flesh thenna steel would never be it would stay as ore, so tha truth is in yerself an yer kin."

He whispered it, so I'm not sure you'd hear it so easily.

Edrukk Thorvirgun wrote:

Satisfied, he retrieves his ale and steps over to the other table, "I see ye've met th' bashful one. M' name's Edrukk." He grins as he leans in conspiratorially, "'t's good t' see a stonefolk now 'n then. Let's ye know 'ere's still 'ope fer th' better." Standing back up, he adds, "If'n 'is one get's t' be botherin' ye, let me know." He winks and returns to the other table to nurse his ale.

Ah a fellow dwarf! May he be from Thunderhold, as well? Valgrim smiles at the Edrukk's arrival. "Well met, fine folk!" Valgrim gives him a hearty greeting, grasping the dwarf's forearms in his visor grip. He leans in and whispers "The Truth is in the Steel!", a common saying in Thunderhold, usually responded to by "So we must study the Blade to find it!" If Edrukk does not respond, Valgrim shrugs his shoulders and wishes the dwarf well.

Erine watches the newcomer warily. The goat approaches, however, and sniffs the dwarf.

"MAAAA!"
Goat charges forward not literally, since Sanstree's in the way)and butts the orc standing over Broccan. His eyes glow red with fury. Erine follows (double move), shouting very rapid Draconic without pausing for breath.

Crossbow attack 1d20 (Minus 4 to result shooting into melee)
Damage 1d8

I'm on a roll with these low rolls now, whoopee!

Erine glares. "You have a point, Goat."

Yes, Goat does. A hero point. I've been giggling all day.

In addition to the one he already had? I'm proud of the fact that my familiar actually has more HPs than I do. XD

You may pool them if you like, but it's more stylish to keep them separate. I think familiars need all the hero point they can get and Goat deserves them.

I don't want to pool them, anyways. :)

Canvy blinks his eyes, his fingers rub the sleep out of the corners and he shakes his head, trying to remove the daze of a deep sleep. In a semi automaton state he reaches for his chain shirt. With the urgency of Broccan and Edrukk speaking and hearing the words 'orcs approaching', Canvy's head seems to clear of any slumbering thoughts. He picks up his scale mail lying next to his bed, but realizing he doesn't have time to put it on, sets in front of him as many fully loaded crossbows as he can. He calls to Erine, shakes her a bit to wake her and says "Wake up Erine, I've got a job for you. Can you reload these crossbows and pass me one so that I can continually fire at the green 'uns on their way here."

I'd like to apologise in advance for this, but she's tired, and already terrified of Canvy. What Goat does here is exactly is exactly what would happen. So on her turn (with a 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8 Init)...

Goat butts his target again. Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Confirm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
"Be careful, Goat! Erine says nervously.

Erine takes a step forward and Goat rushes forward to attack the orc before her.
I'm attacking, and assume the headbutt has the same effect as the bite would.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
1d4 ⇒ 3

So, are they ignoring the glowing figure?

To clarify, there is an opening just shy of where the map ends, but it does not connect with the corridor, but with the room behind the arrow slits.

Oh, I get it now. Okay, then I cast mage armour on Goat and we move into the courtyard, Goat being on full defence. V6 and V7.

I'm putting finishing touches on the map for where we stand right now. I'm not certain where Erine and Goat intend to be. Can you clarify?

Edrukk, nearly filling the hallway now, moves down and around the corner, just entering the mist, before stopping to cast a second spell. An ethereal glow flows from his greatsword, covering his body, before fading from view. Flavor text, it's Shield of Faith

It depends on whether the map is accurate.

The figure advances towards the orcs.
F11, so that's ten feet away from the lump of flesh.
According to the map, there's an opening in the wall northwards. is that just an error? If not, Goat and I move that way. If it is, I cast mage armour on Goat and we move into the courtyard, Goat being on full defence.

Blank.
Blank.

It this what we are faced with?

Hope this helps, if it doesn't delete it.

Cleared it from the avatar.

"Maaaaaa." Goat seems confused, since he is moving at the same speed as Erine.

Goat fixes her with what seems to be a steely gaze.

Deevor, I kind of wish you hadn't time skipped. Goat's normal reaction would be to bite you in the rear after threatening Erine like that. Since it's too late, I'll have to think of something more creative.

I consider my bum truly bitten....LOL.

Not getting out of it that easily. Goat usually acts like Erine's conscience, but when he feels she is threatened (physically or emotionally)he becomes her inner demon, driving her to seek vengeance.

(Broccan attempts to stand politely as each of the ladies approaches the table, banging his knee on the table. He gives a crack-toothed smile and makes a poorly practiced bow to each before sitting again.)

"Good mornin' t'ye Miss Tiana, and to y'e as well, Miss Erine. I hope th' both o' ya slept well. Please sit an' brekfast."

(He tears off a piece of bread and offers it to the goat)

"How'rye this mornin', fella? Ar'ye hungry?"

"Baaaaa." Goat hesitates, then takes the bread and swallows it.

As she speaks, Goat watches Canvy, a calculating look in his eye.
Deevor, is your symbol visible to all or is it concealed?

Gorum being CN, Edrukk can choose either, but from what he said I assume he's chosen positive.

Canvy, hides his annoyance at not making his way into the cooks bed, turns without a word and leaves the kitchen, a smoldering look across his brows. Seeing Erine and her animal outside, he sneers a smile at her and leans down to whisper in her ear as he passes, "You too one day my dear...".

Erine shrinks back, but Goat does not. "Baaaaa!" he brays furiously after the man.

"Maaaaaaaaaaa."

"Maaaaaa." Goat scratches his ear.
Apparently, somebody already had my name...weird bit is, they let me keep it up til now if I put a space in. But when I tried to change avvies, they made me completely change it.
Bah...at least I got me an avvy.

And give up texting, or what have you.
Goat is not amused by Sanstree's mockery of his unbelievably great arcane power. Acid Splash!

Tiana walks to Goat and asks: "Maybe you know... what will we do when the orc sees the wisps?"

The goat glances at her. "Maaaaa," he brays quietly. He gets down on his knees and shuffles a bit, then gets back up.

"Maaaaaaaaa."

"Maaaaaaaaaa."

"Maaaa," the goat brays, and nudges Erine towards the commotion.

Goat stares with his scary goat eyes. "Maaaaaa," he says to Sanstree derisively, headbutting the glass of ale.
