Noggin NineToes's page

Just checking in to see how those chronicles are coming along... Mostly making sure I put the right email address in the website :)

Thank you everyone for the game! Thank you for stepping in, bigrin, and most of all, thank you Lysle and here's hoping for swift recovery.

"Achoo choo, yeah!" Noggin starts singing at the top of his lungs, doing his best to mimic the sneeze as part of the song "AAAAAA-CHOO CHOO, Yeah, we're going of a boat... Choo choooooo!!!" Pumping his hands up and down as he goes, with the occasional thump of his breast plate and stomping dance moves.

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"They messed up my papers!?" Noggin cries out dramatically as he places the back of his palm to his forehead in theatrical displeasure "But I can't stay here the rest of my life... Think of the children!!!" Unsure which children he is talking about, the small furry goblin continues to ham it up "WOE IS ME!!!" causing quite the scene.

Performance: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26

"Oh! That's my friend Ellvard over there! Look!" Noggin says excitedly, although he already knew he'd be on duty "I'm sure he'll let us all through if we asked nicely."

Well, we have possible blackmail material on Elvard with that painting which might work. Drakmak was going to use forge us some documents based on forgeries Flitch gave us. He's still missing, but we might be able to use the poor forgeries along with the papers about the painting to get Elvard to let us through with the professors family.

Plus, we have a wagon with a false bottom that we might be able to hide the stone giant in, or get him to fall asleep in the back and pretend to be a statue.

Hmm, I say we walk up to Elvard and casually let him know that we have evidence he ripped off the rune lord. Noggin is more than happy to eat said evidence if he accepts our papers and lets us on the ship with our refugees.

Noggin, not known for his awareness, decides to take an oar and row with heroic gusto towards the shore.

Noggin notices the second crab swimming towards the softer (less crunchily armoured) members of the party "Oh no you don't!" and swims over to intercept.

◆◆ Swim X2
◆ Strike, Spear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Dmg. P, Deific Weapon: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Reaction: Liberating step on the first person within 15' to get hit, granting 3 resistance and an attempt to escape from grapple as a free action, plus a step if free.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope all goes well over the next week and beyond.

I'm happy to wait until you feel better, but I'm also fine with a replacement to finish up if that's what people prefer.

"That's the wrong way! Look!!!" Noggin explains to Archurius as he pulls out a spear and swims towards the threat with a grace unexpected of one so heavily armoured "Piercing pooooooke!!!" and thrusts the spear towards the reefclaw's back.

◆ Draw spear
◆ Swim (automatic critical success)
◆ Strike, Spear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Dmg. P, Deific Weapon: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

If the guard's armour fit, Noggin's AC is now 20 without a shield

Reaction: Liberating step on the first person within 15' to get hit, granting 3 resistance and an attempt to escape from grapple as a free action, plus a step if free.

Yep! Definitely suggesting swimming to fetch a boat.

"I bet you could do it, Archurius! All you have to do is forget to sink... The rest is easy!"

Noggin missed most of what happened the moment Captain Kallade gave him the armour he so desperately wanted since he stepped off the boat. He looks up at the others in the middle of removing his own armour so that he can change. "Oh, I could swim that! No problem... We knights are known for our excellent swimming!" He says proudly, "We can bring back the boat for everyone else, right guys?"

voting to leave the bystanders on shore and getting the boats ourselves... Also wearing the emerald guard armour if it fits :)

"Yeah, he didn't know nothing..." Noggin replies to Themolin as he frisks Baralbus and turns up a spell book, "But if you want to leave him powerless, Archurius, do you remember what we were told about magic here? We spread a few rumours about all the magic this guy knows, he could be in real trouble..." He taps the spell book for emphasis.

After a good investigation of the warehouse, Noggin is ready to move on

DC 20 Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Somehow all that wind just goes right over the furry goblin's head, and he takes a step forward unhindered "Goooooblin GRAAB!!!" He yells over the whooshing sounds and attempts to kneecap and grab hold of the bureaucrat "Stop squirming!"

◆ Step
Flat Check DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 9

◆ Strike, Shield Boss: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 DMG. B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Flat Check DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 18
◆ Grapple, MAP: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 5 = 7

"Haha! That's the way Norbwald!!!" The young knight exclaims, admiring the gnome's heroics. Noggin then refocuses on the last man standing and spins forward, shield held out to whack everything in his path "Whiiiiiirlwiiiiiiind STRIKE!!!!"

◆ Step
◆ Strike, Shield Bash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Dmg. B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
◆ Strike, Shield Bash, MAP: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 5 = 15 Dmg. B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

edit: forgot about the flat checks...

Concealed Check, Strike 1, DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Concealed Check, Strike 1, DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Those were not the rolls I was looking for lol

I don't mean to be picky, but doesn't Red have another -9hp due to Noggin's first hit?

"Archurius!!!" Noggin calls out as his comrade is felled. The furry knight, still clinging tightly to the assassins legs, kicks them in the shins then whirls his shield towards their jaw before finally letting go. He then scampers off towards his friends, who have been unexpectedly flanked "Why don't you try that on someone your own size?" he screams towards the two enemies who ganged up on Archurius as he bowls into them head first.

◆ Strike Red, Shield Boss: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11Dmg. B: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
◆ Stride
Trip attempt against Green, MAP: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 5 = 11

If red was already down, both the attacks will be against Green

◆ Hero point reroll, Strike Red, Shield Boss: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Reaction: Liberating strike. If anyone is hit within 15' of Noggin, I'll use a reaction to give them 3 damage resistance and the ability to take a step away from danger.

Doesn't escape have the attack trait? So technically red would miss Noggin with map applied?

The furry knight continues to run into the fray "Scamper, scamper!!!" and bowls straight into the assassin (red) attempting to make a pincushion out of the hero "Goooooblin GRAAB!!" he yells in heroic tenor as he tries to cling onto the assassins legs whilst jamming a shield into their stomach.

◆ Stride
◆ Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
◆ Strike, Shield Boss, MAP: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 5 = 16 Dmg. Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Just an FYI, the map seems to be in read only mode ;)

"Block!" Noggin bats the arrow away with his shield, sweeping around to face his new attacker "I've always thought I was fashionable, Archurius! That's why I'm joining the city guard..." The fashionable furry knight responds.

↺ Shield Block

I can't help with line of sight, but the red counter near you is the hag (or the piece of her from the shard, at least)

Noggin strolls happily into the warehouse, excited to get the last person on their list squared away, he cups his hand around his mouth and yells out "Helllooooo!" Hoping to hear a wonderful echoing effect, but instead hearing the *Whoosh* as an arrow flies by his ear... "Ambush!!!" Acting with all the speed only a hyperactive goblin can achieve, the furry knight draws his shield and runs "Scamper, scamper, scamper..." straight towards the attacker, and apparently, a very tied up Themolin.

◆Stride
◆Draw Shield
◆Stride

Glad they finally made it, Noggin heads to the closest gate (1) and knocks... Then impatiently tries the handle. "Hey! It's unlocked!!!" He yells to the others, rather excitedly, before heading in and knocking on the next door "Hello?"

Noggin wouldn't have his shield out yet, so probably scouting for the exploration activity as he excitedly looks around.

Haha yeah, I think it would be fun hiding Flitch in the false bottom of our wagon. I'm down with that. Sedothrum on the boat and Flitch in the wagon :)

Noggin nods happily as Norbwald agrees to help the giant "Barrels! Yes!! We could build water wings!!!"

To save time, I'll go ooc...

I miscounted! I figure that the high profile citizens should be snuggled out via shard cove: Flitch, Themolin, Garla, which leaves two more potentials. I was hoping not to split up families, which would mean Yuleg and Vurna for Shard Cove, and the rest via the port. Sedothrum is the fly in the ointment, unless we can find some stone for him to hide in the back of our wagon...

My vote:
Shard Cove: Flitch, Themolin, Garla, Yuleg, Vurna
Port: Draffid and family via forged papers, and Sedothrum hidden as cargo.

An alternative would be for Vurna to come with us at the port and Sedothrum for shard cove with a way to help him across the water. We could make a raft for everyone, maybe

"Guaril, shmuaral, who cares what he thinks? This guy wants to be rescued, and we're here to rescue people!" Dibble protests, huddled in close "Besides, I'm sure Valais would be grateful to get the chance to talk to Sedothrum. The real question is how to get him out... It would be great if we could get him on the boat in the morning, but if he can't swim it might be too dangerous. Do you think with that scroll of yours that-" The furry goblin practically jumps as an idea strikes him pretty hard "The air bubble scroll! Can you cast it on Sedothrum? He could just walk across... Oh and the remove disease on Vurna, so she'll be strong enough to travel? We could get everyone out on that boat except for the professor and her family! Then take them with us with some forged paperwork." The small furry goblin looks quite proud of himself as he awaits the others to respond.

Noggin thinks for a moment, the effort clear on his face until an idea strikes "Umm... Can Sedothrum stand still for a long time? Like a statue?" The furry little goblin demonstrates by striking a dramatic pose and holding it for a tad too long "Like that!? We could say we bought Sedothrum from a local artist... Our friend at the docks knows all about the local artists! Sedothrum can leave the day after tomorrow." Noggin exclaims with a smile.

Before they leave, Noggin makes sure to let the Professor know that she and her family should meet the party at the docks the day after tomorrow. "We have a friend on duty that day, we can get yo all out!" Outside, however, Noggin is less confident about his ability to smuggle giants out of the city. "Umm... Who's Seddothrum? And does he know how to swim?" He asks, a little unsure if he missed a name on the list, but honestly doesn't care that much "I'm sure we could figure something out..."

Up until now, Noggin had completely forgotten that these people were paying for their extraction. He goes a bit quiet and pokes around the room a little uncomfortably.

Perception, DC 25: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

"Yes, the plan is on!" Noggin replies enthusiastically, then frowns a little "At least, a plan is on..." he waves his arms dismissively "We have a friend at the docks who's sure to let us through. And Drakmak here is good with writing and forms and things, so we're sure to have the paperwork too!" he puffs up a bit "Rescuing people is our speciality."

Noggin follows Archurius, holding the affidavit at arms length and occasionally flipping it upside down as he reads "Wait!? Ellvard didn't paint that picture... Maybe we should visit Hashrem tomorrow so we can get everything straight." The furry goblin looks up when his medical friend knocks on the door, and quickly stuffs the affidavit in a pocket as he sets eyes on the scribe "We're looking for, umm, Daffrid? A great teacher of, umm, things here at the Arcanium. Do you know where we can find her?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Forgot to mention where to next... Either the Arcanum to pick up our last customer or Sweetest dreams to pick up medical supplies, whichever is closer. Really think we need to make time for the Arcanum today though because we have to start shipping people out in the morning.

Noggin gets a bit confused when the others start talking about 'Alfred' and 'David,' but there's no time to question because the furry goblin notices his new friends name on a paper "Oh! I know him... Do you mind if we take a copy to give to him later. I'm sure he'll like that." He asks with an innocent smile.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Noggin is momentarily confused after hearing Archurius, wondering if in fact they had organised a spa day for Themolin. However, he soon comes to the conclusion that his fellow Pathfinder must be lying... At least, he's pretty sure it's a lie, so the blue goblin whispers " What time and place would be better?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Noggin finds himself a little uncomfortable around so many bureaucrats, with all their forms, and all the reading and writing everywhere. However, he takes a deep breath, steps forward, and simply says "We're friends, here to help you... Because you asked."

Make an impression: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

I'm going to use my second hero point reroll on that :)

He clears his throat, and looks up at Themolin, attempting to project all the reassurance his little body can muster. "You can trust us."

Make an impression: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Noggin looks up at Delloriah with big puppy dog eyes "But we really need to talk to him today..." he quickly glances at the Assistant Sub-Director of Audits, then leans closer "I don't trust the assistant here, I mean, what's that on his face? I thought it was a rat clinging onto his chin for dear life at first. Now I just don't think he's washed his face for a month." He then leans back and returns the curious stare Baralbus is giving him... Then sticks out his tongue.

Diplomacy, Make an Impression: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"I'm just a goblin, standing in front of a man, asking him to love me... Oh!" He looks over to Delloriah "We're also looking for Themolin. We have something only he can help us with."

Cross posted, but I think it still stands :)

The captain is definitely garla, and she let us know that Elvard will be on guard when we leave so that we know we could bribe or blackmail him. Whether or not it's an elaborate trap is anyone's guess, but Noggin id the trusting kind though :)

The blue furry goblin starts waggling his eyebrows, practicing his furtive looks towards Baralbus "I'd be good at that, I think." He waggles them a few more times before turning towards Delloriah and seeing her discomfort and pleading look. It takes him a second to catch on, but the young knight finally catches on. He turns back to the manicured man, and does some unwanted advances of his own, eyebrows raised once more, he asks "Soo... Do you come here often? I'm new in town, and would love to see the sights. Maybe the waterfront, say, from your chalet?"

He continues his hamfisted and, presumably, unwanted advances despite any protestations.

I keep forgetting that there a so many secret checks now. I keep instinctively making rolls to keep things moving. I'll get the hang of it eventually lol.

"I'm beginning to suspect that my friend Ellvard isn't really a famous artist!" Noggin states as the party wander the streets looking for information, "I think he took that painting as a bribe... You think you know someone..." He tuts, then looks up at the sky "Also, it's getting late. Should we head back to the Inn, then finish our list tomorrow?"

My vote (unless people are feeling like rebels) is to head back to the inn before curfew, and work on trying to finish the list tomorrow, starting with the ministry of tithes.

"The captain is on Guaril's list of people to rescue!" Noggin states a little defensively towards Archurius "Besides, she let me sign up for that armour didn't she? That means she's a good person... Although I don't know how good her acting skills are." As to what Vurna had to say about Flitch, the young goblin explains how sick she is and that she wasn't talking to anyone. "I don't think she'll be swimming any time soon, but we have another plan to get her and her father out. Don't worry! Just be ready to show us, the captain and a few others the way to the cove when needed. We'll deal with the rest."

I'd still like to gather information about the artistic guard, but then maybe to the ministry of tithes?

"Yes, very handy! Maybe we won't have to smuggle Vurna out in the wagon after all..." Noggin says enthusiastically, "And yes, the plan is still on! If the plan you're thinking of is the same one I am." He leans in closer, and whispers conspiratorially "There's a boat coming to shard cove in a few days, and you're going to show the captain of the guard the way... And some people we haven't even met yet!"

"Yeah, we've come for yor slippers! Give 'em up..." The young goblin adds "Your uncle has suffered cold feet for too long!" He then shakes his head and mumbles, "Honestly, kids these days."

Noggin, channeling his new-found inner rat to navigate the sewers

I figured it was a trained only roll, but if I can...

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Noggin doesn't know how to track, he just looks at the boot marks and scratches his head "You think it's Flitch?" he asks "I guess he went that way?" The furry goblin points in a seemingly random direction.

Scouting for Noggin

Once down in the sewer, Noggin darts in front of the party looks around excitedly, waiting for everyone to catch up, then runs ahead again. The whole time he is squeaking merrily to himself. He does, however, draw his shield and sword, not wanting to be ambushed by bog monsters or rodents of unusual size.

"What's wrong with the sewers?" Noggin asks innocently, "Why, when I was a rat, I had a feeling that a sewer would feel very homey!" He looks over at Drakmak "I wonder if I can speak rat now... I remember it went something like; SQUEEEAK SQUEAK!!! Or something like that anyway. Maybe I'll make some new friends down there." He grins, ready to follow the trail towards adventure.
