"Fire?" Zooks spurs Hatchit around toward the source of the smoke.
Zooks follows after the others, still mounted on Hatchit. He waits to see if their new friend (?) will follow.
At the sight of the fearsome creature, Zooks tugs on Hatchit's reins, bringing him to a skidding halt. He's not quite sure what that is but he knows he doesn't want to make it angry. "This Hatchit. He's a...giant bird."
Zooks is watching Hatchit dig in the dirt for grubs and trying to help, but he looks up. "Zooks speak Humie. I met Longshanks druid in the forest, and he teach me Humie and Secret Druid Talking that nobody knows about. Oops. There is no Secret Druid Talking, just legend."
Zooks doesn't even stop to consider. "Adventure? OK!"
Zooks looks around at the other goblins, slightly confused. He hadn't talked to many people since leaving his village. "Me Zooks. This one Hatchit. Hatchit my friend." Zooks takes in the strange assortment of well-armed and equipped goblins. "What you be doing?"
Background: Zooks is from another village. (Not sure if that would make him a different tribe.) He was kicked out when his pet bird that he raised got big enough to be a nuisance, and he has been living in the forest since then.
Thee large, long-necked bird bursts into the clearing, flapping its wings and squawking loudly, followed by a wild looking and rather dirty goblin gasping for breath. "Hatchit!! Come back!" The goblin is dressed in animal skins, with swirly blue paint on his arms. He grabs the creature's trailing vine harness and tries to stop him, but only after being dragged around the clearing for a couple of circuits by the loudly squawking bird. Finally he manages to get him under control. "Bad Hatchit! Not run away from Zooks!" Zooks stops to look at the strangers. Seeing the yellow goblin readying something to throw, he interposes himself and shouts, "No!!! Not hurt Hatchit!!! Not eat Hatchit!!! He not turkey. Not good to eat anyway!" The large bird seems to sense the goblin's mood and promptly sits down beside Zooks and allows Zooks to pet him on the head. "See. Nice birdy!"
Kobold is an interesting race, they are sneaky and good at building traps. Rules say you can teach an animal 6 tricks (with INT 2) plus I get the 1 bonus (automatically known) trick. I just wasn't sure if I should assume he already knew them.
Goblins!!!! I am the new guy. Looks like fun. Working on the character. How many tricks does my companion get? Just the 1 "bonus trick" or more? Do I need one for riding? I don't see one. If everyone is getting the bonus feat at this time I will redo my skills so I qualify for the dervish dance with my scimitar (OK?) and hold off on the Mounted Combat feat (ride to avoid hits on my mount). (At least druid weapon proficiencies are good for something!)
Sweet! I'll work on it tonight. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Wolfwaker here. I decided to make a druid. He loves to try to ride big animals. Build is not quite done but I thought I would report in. Would an Axe Beak companion work? I want to have something appropriate to the setting so I'm open to other suggestions, but I'd love it if he could ride it. Can I have 2 goblin traits? |
