Gwibble the Grippli's page

Gwibble grins, Well, as I said, we were able to negotiate with some fo he kobolds we met, maybe we can talk them around. Is there no other option? What if we were able to arrange some sort of alliance or deal between your town and them? the mae good miners I understand.

Gwibble gives a wide grin and slurps his tea. Corin has the gist of it, yes. What would you like us to do about this Baroness? You appear to have a kobold problem but it appears they may be able to be negotiated wit, if they are still in the area that is. We also have the keys to Hunclays house if you would like us to check that out.

Gwibble nods, Very well, my colleague does make a good point, we should make sure his home is secure, wizards have a tendency to leave dangerous experiments lying around or there may be traps or guardian creatues. We wiill discuss with the Baroness and let you know.

He looks up the street, We should probably be getting along to her now.

Gwibble motions to Corin, He had a pair of brass keys on him, I dont suppose you recognise them?

Gwibble takes his hat off.

I am sorry m'am but the wizard Hunclay appears to have been killed. The underground tunels were also home to one or two undead. We are concerned that Hunclay not come back from the Boneyard to trouble the people further and wonder if you could make arrangements for the disposal of the body. We can provide directions and an escort if needed.

Diplomacy if needed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Maybe we should alert the undertaker of the bodies below the tower. I doubt we want to leave them there, who knows what sort of undead they might rise as. We also need to talk to the Baroness obviously.

Has anyone kept a tally of loot? Looks like we just got 225gp between the 5 of us so 45gp each. Not sure what else we have had to be honest.

Gwibble is also up to date.

Gwibble dismisses his celestial eagle. Do you know why the wizard wanted to collapse the tower?

Gribbble hobbles back to him, a Kage heals him he gives a thankful purr and nuzzles him. Gwibble smiles, Thank you, much appreciayed.

Gwibble looks down at the small fox in surprise, How are you...nevermind, no time to think about that

He scurries forward and draws once again on his connection to the upper realms, the existing eagle vanishes with a pop and then a second one appears flanking the archer!

Gwibble whistles for Gribble to attack and then prepares himself to summon a celestil ally.

Free action to direct Gribble, ready to summon after he has gone.

Gwibble also scrambles over the rubble, Gribble in tow.

Well, it looks like we have an idea of what happened here. The kobolds killed the wizard. But who sent them, why and where did they come from?

Corin, can you try and do something about this trap? I dont want anyone else getting injured

Gwibble points out the danger spot. Anyone want to try and disable that, if you do wait and I will provide you a minor blessing

I will cast guidance if someone disables it

Gwibble will approach the second barricade caefully. He will spend some time checking it over for traps or hazards.

Taking 20 on Perception for 26

Gwibble has a climb speed so can take 10 for 15. Assumng that succeeds...

Climbing to the top Gwibble pauses and peers down the passageway, looking for dangers.

Percpetion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

If all seems clear he whistles for Gribble to clamber up after him.

Gribble takes 10 for 15 as well

As the group arrive at the hole Gwibble will be there setting up a rough harness to allow Gribble to be lowered down. He waves as the group arrives, Gweeting fwiends, I trust you are all weady for the twials to come?

General Store

"If there are creatures that may crawl out and attack us then I'll help however I can. I have a good strong rope here you can have for 9 silver. Don't trust them kobolds, they have always been trouble, but they’re worse lately. I think they’re preparing for war!"

You now have a 10% discount in the General store and have completed the Making Friends or Enemies Quest above for 400 bonus xp.

Why thank you my friend, I will take it. Much appreciated

Gwibble drops the coins on to the counter and heads out to collect Gribble and start building a harness to lower him down.

Gwibble grins at the man. Yes yes, I am one of the caravan guards. I am in need of some good strong rope to lower my companion down into those tunnels. They seem to be infested with all manner of creatures but we have managed to clear them out so far. Just as well, the Gods know what might have happened if something came crawling out of that hole in the middle of the night.

Diplomacy to improve attitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Gwibble bows to Tsukiko, Thank you he says with a grin. I will just check in with the local store to see if they have some rope he says, heading out the door. Meet you all at the big hole he calls with a wave of one long fingered hand as he disappears down the street.

If Gwibble had eyebrows he would have raised one. Yes, I suppose so he says with a side long glance at the fox.

Right, this time I want to bring Gribble down with us, he might well help. Does anyone have some rope we can use as a harness to lower him down? He isn't that heavy.

Gwibble rises late the following morning. He spends time tending to Gribble in the stable before heading inside. He silently takees a bowl of porridge and a tankward of water before hopping into a chair, looking rather contemplative.

At the mention of the Shrine he turns to Talia. Shrine of the Seven Roses? Is it perhaps consecrated to Shelyn? Corin, this priest might be able to restore you to health, for an appropriate donation he says, with a smile.

Turning to Tri=ukiko he grins at her, So, have you decided to join us on this exploration? Also, whats the deal with the fox? Some sort of familiar or animal companion?

Gwibble nods, Yes, I want to get back in there, find out what is going on. This time I want to bring Gribble too. Maybe we can get the villagers to set up some sort of harness to get him down.

Gwibble pats Corin on the shoulder, Be calm my friend. My name is Gwibble, this is Corin. We were exploring the area beneath a ruined tower here following some structural collapse. The locals have a missing wizard. There remains much to explore. If you are the adventurous sort then perhaps you might consider joining us, we could certainly do with the help. I should wanr you we have already an imp we struggled to deal with, also a ghoul and other dangers. The place seems to be crawling with monsters, it is a wonder they have left this little town alone for so long.

Gwibble regards the new arrivals with curiosity. Fortuitous it is that they were here, have you been working your will Old Deadeye? It is good that Corin is recovered.

Leaving the group he heads to the stable to make sure that Gribble is being well cared for. He spends some time feedng and grooming him and leaves a couple of silver coins for the stable lad to find in the morning.

Returning to the Inn he pulls out a flagon and settles himself into a chair to regard the newcomers. So, what brings you to this place, you are clearly not locals...

Gwibble looks around the group, Lets get some rest at the Inn, maybe ask around about the crest.

I suggest we pool some of the loot to buy a wand of cure light wounds for the group before we split anything.

Sadly the companion got left behind as he cannot climb ladders. How heavy do the chests look to be?

Gwibble eyes the chests in the room. We might find something that helps us in these or they might have horrible traps or monsters in them...

He spends some time carefully examinign each chest for danger before deciding whether or not to open any of them.

Taking 20 on perception for 26 for each chest. Each should take a minute.

More than a little lack. I totally miss being able to buy a CLW wand with my first two pestige. I suggest Kyra if we take a pregen.

@Liam, what loot have we ound so far that we might use to purchase healing for Corin or other items?

Yes, I think so.

Before they go he does check to see if the two mithril daggers would fit into the slots but he does not insert them.

Gwibble croaks with concern, I can keep him from dying but I cannot revivie him. We should get out of here so he can recover.

Did my 15 Heal check not stabilise him?

Oops, I missed that you were unconscious.

Gwibble runs over and tries to help Corin.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Gwibble pokes at the holes, trying to get an idea of how deep they are. Yes, maybe we try the knives, they may fit?

Did the ghoul charge? if so might the beak attack hit?

Gwibble lets out a strange and haunting croaking noise. As the sound slowly echoes away a mighty swamp eagle appears behind the ghoul! It smites the creature with watery swamp power and then sets about it with beak and talons.

Standard action to summon a celestial eagle into flank with Vultha. It smites and full attacks.

Beak, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Damage, smite: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Talon 1, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Damage, smite: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Talon 2, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18
Damage, smite: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Gwibble moves forward carefully, examining the cage. He mutters a simple blessing as he does so.

Peception, guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

Does the cage have a door?

He then also casts detect magic in case of dangerous traps.

Sorry, I have lost track of things. Do we have a key to this door? If so Gwibble will open it.

It actually looks like it is just two PCs left which isnt really viable.

Looks to be, theres a big locked door down here

I am still here.

Gwibble makes his way to the corridor, carefully. He darts past the construct and up the side of the wall.

We could go back and get it hisses Gwibble.

Gwibble will also try giving the pass phrase but from inside, using his climb speed to go around the walls and avoiding the pit trap.

Didnt the imp say we needed to be inside? May have been a lie though. I can avoid the trap so let me go first.

Gwibble snorts, Well yes, obviosuly, we should try the key first. It's not as if I forgot about it two minutes after being reminded about the damn thing!

Gwibble waits to see what Corin finds out.

Can anyone pick the lock or force the door?

Be careful everyone, looks like there is a pit trap on the other side of this door.

Does it look like the lock can be picked or are we going to have to force it

Gwibble scurries along the wall looking to see if there are any corridors or dangers.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

How high is the corridor? Gwibble will be as high up as he can.

Gwibble pushes open the door while clinging to the wall above it.

Gwibble looks over the door.

Perception, guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8

Looks clear to me
