"Fire kills everything! Use more fire always!" Toki moves up on Wartooth behind Sable, leaning forward and stabbing over his allys head at the troll. to hit, for damage
Round 50? Re-mounted and armed with his lance, Toki stays near the dragon and looks for foes to stab. "Trolls are like big orcs, I think. Probably stink like them too."
"Troll? Wartooth, to me!" Toki calls for his mount and leaps onto his back as the wolf runs up. He sheathes his sword and takes up his magical lance once mounted. "I can't charge in this mess, but I can at least keep the thing at bay! And maybe Wartooth can tear its legs out from under it!" Glad to be thinking more clearly (for a goblin) and back in his normal stature, Toki smiles a wide pointy grinnunder his helm and prepares for combat.
Just getting internet back now. Catching up asap. Sorry about thwt.
Toki swings his sword at every zombie he can, stepping back to stand under the biting jaws of the dragon. "Rraaagghhh!" RD 13: to hit, for damage Rd 14: to hit, for damage Rd 15: to hit, for damage Rd 16: to hit, for damage Rd 17: to hit, for Rd 18: to hit, for Rd 19: to hit, for
"Ragghh! Why am I getting bigger? Magics!" Toki feels himself growing larger, sliding from the saddle as he doubles in size. He stows his lance then draws out his sword, standing next to Wartooth in the front line of combatants. "Where is the guy to chop? Point me at im and I'll chop him good!" Wartooth falls back behind the dragon and stands ready to return and be remounted.
"Yes! Burn them all! Fire! Fire! Fire!
to dodge the hit on Wartooth. to avoid Energy Drain if a 29 hits Toki dodges this way and that, realizing he has to return back to the group before he gets swarmed by the approaching horde. "Fire! Burn them! Throw fire and kill!!!" His goblin voice carries across the battlefield despite the snarls and growls of his mount. RD 11: withdraw back to the steps and prepare to defend the others.
Toki continues to cross the battlefield like a blood-maddened, gore-soaked, gibbering goblin madman. Because that's what he is, currently. Riding back and forth in front of the barricades, he lances any undead foolish enough to get within 25' of his allies line. "More singing! Bard music makes me stronger! Rraaaggghhhh!"
RD 8: Charging Pink haloed undead on eastern edge. to hit, for damage RD 9: Follow that up with charging real haloed undead near corner of stairs. Charing Pink haloed undead on eastern edge. to hit, for damage RD 10; Charing next one up to end at western edge. to hit, for damage
"Rraaarrr! Angry goblin smash charge attack!" If one didnt know better, one might think Toki was calling for an entire horde of goblins to follow his charge into battle. With the raging song in his ears, he thunders around and tilts towards another spawn. to hit, for famage
Toki spreads out into the shooting grounds, charging back and forth to attack any stragglers with his anti-undead-crystal'd lance. "For the Queen!!!! Rraagghhh!! Unused to the angry boost from the bard's song, he completely misses several of his passes, charging past and wheeling on the outlying monsters approaching. Rd 1: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 2: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 3: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 4: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 5: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 6: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage Rd 7: to hit (raging song, banner), for magical piercing damage
"I will remain close to hand, I can harass and distract the groups, that should let you shooters and close-in fighters do some real hurt too." Toki rides around the front area of the spire, staying 50-100' away from the base of the stairs, looking for individuals to charge or stragglers to pin down.
"I stand ready to charge and slay the undead! If there is a leader type, let me know and I will destroy him or her as fast as possible." Toki clips the crystal doohickey to his lance, then makes ready on Wartooth with shield and lance prepared.
"Vault? With treasure? Oohhh...that sounds like something worth doing. After the undead are re-dead, I guess."
"Can we use this trial thing to kill undead? Maybe set up a trap so they come in and get smushed by this magic stuff? If not, I'll just nap til dark and it's time to re-kill some bloodsuckers."
Toki rides up and stands ready, looking for things to pick a fight and get stabbed.
Toki
"Many traps, much defenses, whoever made this did not want guests or invaders. This should be very interesting to fight."
"Oh yeah, we do that on the regular. Pick off the stragglers, let them bleed out and wheel around to take the other side of the herd. Wolves are great like that, you know. Plus, we can charge past and strike, and continue on the line like were at one of those competition things human knights like. I think its gonna be great once I can spear one of these undead blood drinkers properly!" Tokis face is a very wide grin of pointed teeth, under his steel helmet. Wartooth also growls in menacing anticipation of the combat everyone's talking about.
"Okay, sounds good. Charge them, smash them, stake them while they're down, then cut their heads off. That's sort of like fighting demons or trolls, I mean, except the whole wooden stake thing. Does burning work? Because I like to see burning enemies run from our charge. Does a goblins heart good for that."
"Sounds like Wartooth and I must charge and slay them fast as can be, then you arrow boys and girls can use your magicked weapons to keep them dead-dead."
Toki rather enjoys riding down and slaying law breakers. Or dogs. Or pretty much anything that tries to step up and make trouble. If there is lots of crime, were gonna need more barrels of vinegar.
"My lance is wood, with a steel tip. Will that work for this whole "stake them in the heart" trick? If not, Wartooth and I will simply charge them and slay them with extreme force. If they get back up or are gonna, one of you foot soldier types can do the staking thing to keep them down."
"Vampires? They are worthy enemies, and I look forward to slaying them with my lance and your help. We should find them and destroy them as soon as we can!" Toki seems unfazed by the flying womans appearance, focusing on the idea of real fighting soon.
"Magic to make me stronger? Yes I would like that very much."
About 3 months into building the capital and claiming hexes he would ask each of you one at a time, "Would you like a Thylacine?" "Thylacine? Is that some kinda cat monster? I can handle most critters, but Wartooth is not gonna like it if some cat monster starts peeing on his kennel. And what Wartooth fights, I fight, you know?"
Toki gleefully joins in with a chance to get both hammered in good company as well as make some coin. He ponies up the 10gp and bellies up to the table, pulling a box up to step onto the chair before downing the booze provided. vs DC 10
After draining his 6th drink, Toki falls back onto the table, his small green belly rounded with booze and nearly immediately begins to snore loudly.
Toki takes to the generally nocturnal habits of his ancestry quite readily, sleeping in the hay above the stables while Wartooth rests comfortably in a stall below during the heat of the day. Once the afternoon crests and the sun begins to dip, he armors up himself and his wolf mount and begins to patrol the area. He begins in the streets, conspicuously displaying his now-amended banner to show allegiance to Khorvian, checking for signs of violence and criminals to run down and bring to justice. When he finds no such miscreants (which is most days), he takes to hunting down rats and other vermin, happily lancing them on the gallop and storing them in his bags for snacks later on. He also has a large (55 gallon) barrel made and well-sealed, intent on filling it with high potency vinegar and pickling spices, where he stores all his obtained foods in order to make them more palatable to goblin desires. Once the order to make ready comes down, he and Wartooth show even greater enthusiasm for their new role, practically strutting around and dancing while awaiting further chance to get out and slay baddies.
"All these humans and dwarves, dont they need big buildings and walls and sewers to breed and grow families? If they want to keep making more of them, they should stay in the fortress place and build more houses and chimneys and stuff. Or is there another city place we have to make in the woods? Wood is okay to build with but its gonna burn down sooner or later."
"Are there any living foes around? Men or elves or gnomes? Or are all the baddies here boney and rotten? If so, Wartooth and I are going to need to find some livestock or something, and a large barrel of vinegar. I know I cant eat undead meat. And I doubt he will like it any better."
"Bandits? Are there bandits nearby to slay? We could use some coin and fresh meat, and a bandit camp would give both!" Toki pipes up as his ears pick up on key words of interest.
Toki does as requested, both he and Wartooth proceeding along as if in a parade st the reviewing stand. "If the dragon rider and I are needed to scout, we can gain info along the ground and sky at the same time. And Wartooth is much faster than a full caravan of humans and slow horses anyways."
Toki looks at the crowd of folks talking and reminiscing, then the idea of several weeks adventure finally takes hold in his goblin brain. "I will.purchase supplies and await the party by the sally gate." With that, he heads to the general store and purchases 4 weeks of rations and the same of kibble, storing most of that in his saddlebags.
Entering the tavern, Toki jingles very little for such a well-armored person. The wolf padding next to him makes slightly more noise, but not much. He approaches the woman calling for adventurers and soldiers, and bows in a formal courtly fashion. "Greetings, I am known as Toki Wolfrider, of House d'Corbus from Brevoy. I am here to offer my services as knight, scout, soldier, and whatever other tasks need doing."
Toki approaches the incongruous dwarven stronghold set on a hill in the Stolen Lands. Riding straight and upright on his muscular wolf, the goblin in shining armor carries a wickedly pointed lance, with a kite shaped steel shield emblazoned with a Brevoy lesser asset's crest. The same sigil stands on the banner waving over his round head, snapping in the breeze as he rides up. "Hello the fort! I come to offer my services, and seek entry!" He speaks formally with a Brevoy accent and diction, although still with the characteristic high pitched timbre of his race.
Toki has his wolf, Wartooth.
"Wine? You mean grape juice that gets you drunk? Not enough sting in that stuff. Got any rkatun to drink? Now that stuff really bites ya, and gets ya drunk!"
"Halcamora? What or who is that? Some dwarf god?"
Off in the distance a shiny rider approaches. Sunlight glints golden off his shoulders, helmet, and other pointed features. He appears much farther away than initially thought, until you realize he is simply much smaller than your average knight. With a very rounded and bulbous head. And his mount is bo horse, but a lean and very sharp-tongued wolf. A goblin knight in shining armor? Wearing the sigil of a Brevoy house and the banner of a crusading member of the Order of the Sword? Preposterous, yet here. "Greetings! I am known as Toki Wolfrider, and I present myself to the rulership of this land for employ as soldier, scout, and protector. " His voice is the typical high pitch of his race, but the diction and pronunciation is straight out of Lastwall. "Perhaps you have heard of me? Perhaps not? In either case, I am the one who slew the ogre at Clingback Bluff. A menace to the village for months, the monster would abduct young people from the fields and forests for its depraved attentions. I took their commission to rid them of the beast, and stalked it for some time. While it busied itself with a grisly meal, I charged atop Wartooth and drove my lance deep into its thigh. I must have pierced a main blood vessel as well as damaging its leg, for the ogre fell to the ground and began gushing its lifeblood with a horrible whining and crying in its native tongue." Toki pauses and takes in the audience, trying to gauge if they care about the details or are squeamish about the situation. "And there I sat, for several long minutes, as the rapacious and evil creature bleed out amongst its previous victims. I imagine it begged for mercy or quarter in its language, but I neither spoke it nor cared to help. The villagers were quite happy to hear the end of the ogre, and paid me the agreed upon price. And here I am, once again in search of employment and eager to slay more monsters. "
