Poog -Zan-'s page

Poog's not too worried about the eggs one way or the other; he's just going to prop up Chuffy as the new chief and look for opportunities to replace Wise Mummy as the power behind the goblin-equivalent-of-a-throne.

Poog puts his wands away before joining the others at the trapdoor.

How much space is there under the trapdoor? Is there sufficient space to fireball the bear-thing without having goblins in the blast? If so, then Poog will use his fireball wand. If not, then he'll burning hands the beast and the surrounding hay pile.

fireball wand, min caster level: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 3, 4) = 23 DC 14 reflex for half.
or
burning hands: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7 DC 13 reflex for half.

Opening it up to level 2 characters helps me a lot. I have several of those, but only one level 3, who I don't want to apply this to. (Also, I'm pretty sure that I already asked this and received an answer, but I don't recall where. It wasn't in this thread at least.)

Actually, now that I really look at my characters, it doesn't change much since most of them are tied up in PbP games at the moment. So I'll apply this credit to Lindy (89041-7), just like the last one.

This has to be applied to a character that's at level 3? Or can I apply it someone lower? I'll need to consider who I want to apply this credit to.

But as for a boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Poog's joy at the giant's death is dampened by the pain he is in. So while the others are running about, he will activate his cure wand; first on himself, then on Reta.

CLW Poog: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Poog: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

CLW Reta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Reta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW Reta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Go back upstairs, open the trapdoor, and rain death down on the thing below?

By "death" do you mean "fire"? It's hiding in a pile of hay. We're goblins. I think the solution presents itself.

We do think we can hurt you! We Do! We Do!

Spiritual Dogslicer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Force: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

While singing his sudden song, Poog retrieves his sound burst wand and points it at Pa.

Sonic: 1d8 ⇒ 7 DC 13 Fort or stunned for 1 round

You hurt Poog! UNACCEPTABLE! Now Zarongel going to make you pay for hurt Zarongel's favourite cleric!

Poog steps another 5' away from the scary giant and casts spiritual weapon

Spiritual Dogslicer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Force: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

As the blade of force shimmers into existence and begins hacking at the giant, Poog gets out his cure wand. Move-equivalent

Poog is quite excited at how well the fight's been going so far. He even managed to stab something with his sword!

Hah! Take that! And that!

Shortsword, DF, Goblin Bravery: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 22
Piercing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Poog finally notices that he's currently the only gob right next to the scary longlegs and his giant spear and decides that maybe he should start to back away. 5' step away from Pa

Longlegs has magic! Woe is Poog!

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Hah! Gobs not so easy to burn!

Giant twolegs is fire-resistant! And castery! Stab him so he can't cast spells on goblins!

After dodges the fire, Poog will try and stab Pa somewhere painful with his sword.

shortsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
piercing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

He has a spear; what kind of reach are we looking at? 10'?

Blast him!

Poog happily fires off a sound burst into the upstairs room that the giant longlegs is in. sonic: 1d8 ⇒ 6 DC 13 Fort or be stunned for one round.

Poog is going to stand near the trapdoor with his wand of soundburst in hand. As soon as the trapdoor opens, he's going to blast whatever's up there.

You don't have to put up with that Chuffy! Kill the longlegs!

Poog will cast divine favour on himself and then carefully move around the edge of the room to get behind the scary giant, pulling out his short sword on the way.

Good work Chuffy. You stay up in front there so you can kill everything that wants to hurt goblins.

Poog has decided that so long as Chuffy is between Poog and anything that wants to hurt Poog, life is good. So Chuffy should be harder to hit. After following the others inside, Poog will cast shield of faith on Chuffy, giving him a +2 deflection bonus to AC.

Makes no difference to me. Just figured goblins might be inclined to do a "bottom up" approach. Sort of like a fire. But Poog's not likely to go first in any case, so if Chuffy heads for the door, Poog will follow.

under the house i suppose

I don't think Poog can roll Handle Animal, since he doesn't have it trained.

Untrained Handle Animal?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Of course, if this doesn't work, there may be some utility in letting him draw some attention and ambushing whatever comes to investigate.

I'll use another round of speak with animal

(in pig)Squealy, don't squeal! We don't want Mean Ogre to know we here yet. What you squealing about anyway?

What you doing in there Chuffy?

Poog will stick his head in the coop to check up on Chuffy.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

(in pig)Sounds good Squealy. But remember, you have to make Reta fall off in the mud when she tries to ride you.

(in goblin)Squealy is going to come with us now. He says there's a mean ogre here.

(in pig)You want to come with us instead? We found new tribe, and we in charge there.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Since Reta has already named Squealy out loud, Poog presumably recognizes him too.

Poog will use up a round of speak with animals

(in pig)Squealy, what happened? How come you tied up here with fire pigs?

Pig gourds! This his place? Let's go look under boat before we go in big place.

Poog will take the gourds if no one else grabs them first.

Them write words! Them must be burned!

Poog will climb over the fence, assuming that the others will follow.

Chuffy should sneak under fence to surprise them that try to stop other gobs from climbing over. They never see it coming!

You can slow roast it after it dead Chuffy!

Poog launches a fire bolt at the annoyingly-hard-to-kill beast.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
fire damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Poog hurries over onto the suddenly wide open field to the pig's left, laughing happily at the thought of slow-roasted bacon flavour.

Poog can do fire too! Everyone use fire! This great fight!

Ranged Touch, into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17
Firebolt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 fire damage

Poog lets out a startled shriek when the Big Pig shakes his spell off after just a few moments, then digs around in his pockets for his other wand.

Bravely stepping 5' closer to the perilous porcine, Poog proudly points his sound burst wand in the pig's general direction. I believe that at the max (30') range, I should be able to set the target far enough back and to the left to only hit the pig, and not Chuffy. Depending on exactly where he moved to. I'm assuming that he only went to the closest possible square to attack from. I stuck a little star on the corner of the map that I intend to centre the spell on in any case.

sound burst: 1d8 ⇒ 8 DC 13 Fort save or also stunned for one round.

I realized that, but "War Boar" isn't the greatest song of all time, and Wise Mummy fits perfectly in the role of the politicans of War Pigs. Which is why I think the boar was a deliberate choice by the author.

That pig has to be intentonal.

Poog stays put with the other chiefs between him and the giant pig. And theb casts hold animal on it. (DC 14) You stay put big pig!

Poog not supposed to be hot! Poog supposed to make Poog's enemies too hot!

Str check: 1d20 ⇒ 13 Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Str check: 1d20 ⇒ 5 Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Str check: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

HAH! Poog Free! And now Poog will bravely get out the pie as fast as a very fast thing.

Poog will keep trying to get free of the ropes.

Strength check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Poog will use a charge of his wand on each of his competition between dares.

Reta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Chuffy: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Mogmurch: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Poog not like this dare. Poog not want to be pie filling!

Str check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Poog runs along the bank until he's close enough to stirge #5 and blasts it with a firebolt.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
fire!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Chuffy think he so smart running around on boards, he should jump over to last stirge so it can bite him!

Well, I was probably going to Firebolt a stirge, but I'd rather just get off this plank before I get knocked off it.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 2 = 11

Poog decides to get off the rickety planks before he falls in the muck.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 2 = 6

So a six means I don't move at all?

As I said, I'm fine with not doing it if it will cause trouble or is against the spirit of Society rules.

Poog is losing. So Poog is going to cheat.

This seems like a very goblin thing to do. But it is also potentially harmful to my team. If this seems uncool to anyone, I'm perfectly willing to accept that it's not allowable and to do something else instead.

Poog puts on the boots, and very carefully walks out past Chuffy.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 - 2 = 10

Once in the midst of all the stirges, Poog holds his holy symbol aloft and yells at the top of his lungs

Mighty Zarongel says all you stirges die now!

Channel Negative Energy 30' radius: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 DC 12 Will save for half

Once the wave of dark energy passes over the stirges and goblins, Poog turns to his companions

Not worry. Poog will use magic to make you better now.

This silly way to decide chief. Chief should be goblin who knows most about goblin gods.

Poog will try the bow dare, but doesn't think he'll do well.

DC 8 Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
shortbow, untrained: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 4 = 1
miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 98

DC 11 Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
shortbow, untrained: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 4 = 15
miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 89

DC 14 Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
shortbow, untrained: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11
miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 49

When you goblins going to release second bird?

Well, looks like Poog's luck is going to hold true to last game.

Hi lady! Are you a Birdcruncher? We're trying to find the Birdcrunchers. I'm Poog, high cleric of Zarongel. Have you embraced the gospel of Zarongel?

Ok. I was thinking about Boon 1, until I saw that I have to announce I'm using it before I have any idea if I'll be targeted by a spell at all, let alone one that I could (or would) cast later.

I'll take Boon 3. The shield if I'm supposed to pick now.

I'm in for this as well. If this one is with third level gobs, do we need a third level character to apply the credit to?

I have to look at what temporarily becoming mythic would mean for Lindy before I decide. Also, what does "hard mode" mean exactly? I've seen it referenced a couple times around the boards, but not explained.

I guess I'll assign it to Lindy Flamenozzle then. She like fire. And the sooner she levels the better; first level spellcasters are squishy.

89041-7
1d20 ⇒ 20

How does the credit work? Do I pick a first level character, or is it something I can choose who to apply it later? (Perhaps after finding out what the boon is?) If I have to pick a character, can it be one who's still working on another PbP scenario, or do I have to choose someone idle?

Burn it! Burn Burn Burn!

Hey! Stupid frog no bite Poog! Frog boss is dead! Frog should go way now.

Poog doesn't have to put up with this abuse. Poog going to fight back!

dogslicer, goblin bravery: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9
slashing: 1d4 ⇒ 2

And then Poog steps into the corner, to keep his back to the walls.

Chuffy! You gonna get squished in there!

Cast Cure Light Wounds where I'm at, move through the doorway, and touch Chuffy.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Gck. If I had real dice rolling this badly, they'd be getting microwaved by now.

Poog's going to delay until after Vorka as I can't see her from here anyhow.

Someone is in room. Chuffy should go first.

If I keep rolling ones, anything's possible.

Agh! Die Die Die! Bad dog! No bite Poog!

Dogslicer, Goblin Bravery, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 21
slashing, DF: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

WOW! Big fire Reta! You get back now, Poog stop bad dog!

Poog pulls out his dogslicer and steps into the space that Reta left.

I'm assuming both that Chuffy will be flanking with me and that I won't have anyone in any adjacent squares since Reta withdrew from the fight.

Dogslicer, Flanking, Goblin Bravery, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 17
slashing, DF: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
