[ACO] PFS2e B10 - Hillcross Roundup

[GM Tiger]

GM Screen:

Damian Perc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Damian:

You don't notice anything remarkable around the enclosure

[GM Tiger]

Znobe and Bere try sneaking up on a dino but Bere accidentally steps on a dry twig, causing it to snap, scaring the baby off. Jeeegaaan tries to gently lure a baby dino but it only sits and stares at him. Damian and Griphook examine the enclosure. Shagrat creeps up behind a dino and scares it back into its enclosure. Zror bribes a baby by offering it treats, which the baby accepts. Finally all the baby dinosaurs are back in their pen and Xila shuts the gate.

"Thanks so much for rounding them up! I'll be right with you after I count them."

Xila begins counting the dinosaurs, tapping at sticks in her hair the way one might count on their fingers.

"...eighteen... nineteen... no, that can't be! I must have counted wrong!" Her voice becomes more and more panicked as she repeats the count again. After recounting the dinosaurs for perhaps the fifth time, she cries out in alarm "Babs is missing! Babs is the smallest and youngest of the lot."

"Will you please find Babs so I can reunite all the young ones with the herd. I'd go with you but I need to stay here and make sure another dinosaur goes missing."

[Zror_]

Zror shrugs his shoulders, "I don't mind. Do any of yous?

[Shagrat the Goblin Runelord]

Shagrat shakes his head, apparently ready for adventure.

"Let's find last baby--Shagrat lead the way!" he exclaims.

Scouting Lore +3, Perception +4 might be helpful.

[Damian Darkblood]

"Yes, let us find the little dinosaur."

[Znobe Nordmann]

With a shrug, Znobe asks, "Do you have anything that belongs to the baby dino, Babs. If you let Bere smell them, he can follow Babs with his nose." His eyebrow raise as he ends the question. "But we will follow him if we can."

Survival +5 (+7 to Track your target.)

[Jeeegaaan Dune]

You're welcome, yep, we will find your last dinosaur, hopefully he's around.

[Griphook Ragnok]

"Yehey! We will find a losh dinoshoree!" Griphook happily says and plays his tin flute with a happy song.

I already made a post but it didn't get posted. :(

[GM Tiger]

Xila searches the area around the enclosure and finds tracks of a clawed creature. "The tracks head west, " she says, pointing deeper into the wooded valley, "I wonder if the thief captured more dinosaurs than little Babs. If you do find other dinosaurs other than Babs, do bring them back to me so I can try to reunite them with their herds."

Before you leave, Xila stops you and hands you four vials. Two are a cherry red color and the other two are a golden brown color.

"Take these. The red colored ones are healing potions. The other two will increase your eyesight to match that of an eagle."

One character may make a Survival check to try to follow the tracks. I take it Znobe is volunteering? :)

[Shagrat the Goblin Runelord]

Shagrat takes the potions and distributes the to the group. "You not have any alchemist fire? Those my favorite," he says, holding out the potions for any that would like to take them.

"Shagrat always go first--he run in first, ask questions later."

I'm thinking Znobe is best at survival. I'll be at the front, but someone else feel free to roll the tracking.

[Damian Darkblood]

Damian will make the tracks part of his investigation, and Clue in Znobe for a +1 circumstance bonus to Track

[Griphook Ragnok]

”I chake that, I chake that.” Griphook hurriedly moves to Xila to take the vials but Shagrat already took and distributed them. He received the healing potion and put it in his bag.

[Znobe Nordmann]

Znobe sends Bere to find the scent, whilst he looks for tracks...

Survival hunted prey + Damian bonus 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24

[GM Tiger]

Znobe:

You follow the tracks and determine that they lead to a specific hill nearby. You also notice tracks belonging to a different dinosaur (other than Babs).

The area map is linked to the top of the page

[Znobe Nordmann]

"Keep your eyes peeled people, there's tracks for another dino, maybe bigger than Babs, I don't know. I'll keep following Babs tracks as best I can. Get ready in case the other Dino isn't as friendly as Babs, but if we can we should try and befriend it."

If you need another survival check, to follow Babs track then its at +8 and roll for me ...so I think that's Znobe moving half speed tracking each turn.

[Shagrat the Goblin Runelord]

Shagrat puts a finger in the other track and licks it, then sniffs around on the ground for a few moments.

scouting lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17Not sure if I can tell anything else about the track other than what Znobe found?

"Well, Shagrat ready for whatever there be. Let's go!" he exclaims, continuing to follow the tracks.

[Damian Darkblood]

Damian approaches the cave cautiously, hoping not to spook any dinosaurs.

Avoid Notice: Stealth +5

[Griphook Ragnok]

Griphook goes ahead Damian and runs frantically toward the cave to look for the baby dinosaur.

”Hello, Babsh? Are you here? Babshhhh! Yohooooo! Your mama ish looking for youuuu!” his voice is so loud and it echoes inside the cave-like structure.

Perception +5 (darkvision)

[Jeeegaaan Dune]

Jeeegaaan moves up.

[GM Tiger]

As you near the top of the hill, you start seeing find gruesome decorations framing the lair’s entrance. Bones and body parts of various animals hang from ropes and sinew in front of crude paintings of dried blood depicting the skeletons of mammoths and dinosaurs. When you ascend to the top of the slope, you see Babs, tightly lashed to a massive wooden stake a short distance west, toward the hill’s face. The hatchling is unharmed, but frightened. He strains against his restraints and begins letting out throaty cries when he sees you.

You also start hearing insults in Goblin.

Goblin:

"You little pipsqueak! You're so small you're of no use to me!!"

[Znobe Nordmann]

Znobe concentrating on the route ahead and smiling as he sees Babs in front of him, although very upset to see the Dino all trussed up ready for roasting. Then starts hearing strange goblin type talk turns back and in a hushed loud voice says "Shagrat, Griphook, will you keep quiet, I'm trying to locate the threats to Babs and ourselves." the words hiss from his mouth.

[Shagrat the Goblin Runelord]

Shagrat sneaks forward, not wanting anything to happen to Babs.

With weapons drawn, he prepares to face down anything that looks to harm the little dinosaur.

Griphook:

The cave is empty

[Griphook Ragnok]

"Babshhh, ish jat you?" Ragnok says as he recognizes the baby dinosaur similar to the others they herded earlier with Xila, just smaller. He immediately runs toward the baby dinosaur to send comfort and hug it after he hears its throaty cries, ignoring Znobe's warning, or even not hearing it at all. He hears someone speak in Goblin with words translated to Common like 'little pipsqueak' and 'no use' but ignores it as his admiration to the baby dinosaur has overwhelmed the danger of not seeing who speaks in Goblin.

After reaching the dinosaur, he look around to the unwelcoming environment Babs is into.

Perception +5

[Shagrat the Goblin Runelord]

Shagrat continues sneaking forward, intent on cutting the little dinosaur loose with his dogslicer.

Stealth +7

[Damian Darkblood]

Damian moves to follow Griphook, keeping his eyes open for the angry-sounding goblin.

As Griphook approaches Babs, he suddenly sees a large furry creature and two other smaller reptiles. The tall furry creature lets out a roar.

But seeing the enemies are charging to attack, he runs wildly away towards his companions and leaves Babs behind.

”AHHHH! Run! They are atchaking ushhh!

He then gets his shortsword ready in his hand.

I moved you adjacent to the bugbear with the white border, Glorzia.

Shagrat did 7 damage to Glorzia last round.
