Man. If you guys have half as much fun with that 'wedding song' as I did writing it I'll be very happy. I kept cracking up while I was writing XD
That was just plain awesome, Medge! I've loved all the filk so far. Now I'm going to have to up my game with all of you... This will be GREAT.
"Zeli, go to the nearest tree and prepare to introduce me to my new subjects" he bids softly, "And don't forget to warn them after," he adds as an afterthought.
King Mortimer, huh? Remember that you might have some competition from Dread Overking Squishy!
I am not Math Kitty, but I noticed that you are missing the +4 goblin racial bonus to ride. You'll be better than you think at this riding thing, Ronk!

I got my roommates attention with my cackling, not laughing cackling. That was brilliant Medge. That song is in my head and when I read the words my brain added the music. Thank you for that :)
And fight for title of King of Swamp. In one corner we have the local hero from a sack of slugs Dread Overking Squishy! And in the other corner the new kid in the swamp he's furry and friendly, King Mortimer!...What is this bizarre turn of events folks a green and red Christmas Goblin has stolen the crown and is making his escape...
Promise you will always check my math
And to make it a very fun bath
Ronk swears to only love Twitchy
Especially if she is really shifty!
We'll work it out. How about he gets the swamp, I get the dudes who live in it? :p
Squishy doesn't seem much like a goblin/animal person anyway ;)
Or maybe Heir to the throne, Duke, Viscount, Baron...lots of possibilities!

Of the babies of Ronk and Twitchy,
We know that they'll be witty!
Ronk will teach em how to fight
Twitchy will teach em to throw bombs right!
Medge will teach em to find phat loot,
Gurp will teach em to give bad people the boot!
Isn't it clear enough to see
What a crazy goblin family we'll be!
Nicely done! I will have to compose some songs in the morning. Meanwhile, I gotta say that this is turning into the most dramatic goblin wedding ever! Awesome!

I must admit that I will never see goblins the same way again.
I confess that I have murderhoboed lots of goblins and did it with as much emotion as you'd get from swotting a fly. Hopefully I don't have to kill too many goblins after this...especially adorable ones.
The ones that I met sang off key, which grated on my ears, and only had the usual goblin song, and not the whole repertoire.
Goblins are your friends! Don't kill Goblins! Be nice to Goblins so we can stab you in the back and take your stuff
But really, if they can't sing a proper song they're not worthy of being a Goblin *disdainful sniff*

Have you read our old gameplay, Mort? Twitchy has a surprising (for a goblin) viewpoint towards titles. She views them as trouble.
She will happily allow her teammates whatever absurd titles they wish, so long as they follow her plans. (Yes, she's been unacknowledged group leader for a while, all the while attempting to dodge any sort of official responsibility or title.) She may not even be aware of the irony that she doesn't want to be group leader because its too much work, all the while she is actually doing the actual work.
I'm pretty sure that I started the song thing and then Ronk and Medge leaped right in. Even Gurp sang once, though that was a poke at Wolfie to get gameplay moving again. We just had so much fun with it, we couldn't stop. And somewhere along the way we became a goblin group who values teamwork and each other... while stabbing other things in the back and being underhanded.
It's been fun!
*uses scent*
I smell that the GM is still on a week of vacation.
Just a heads up...
I'm around - just s.l..o...w....l.....y catching up ;)
Twitchy's beautiful poetry inspired the Let Us Bonk song There was some rum involved too.
Ronk, I felt a shiver as Twitchy said her vows. Did you?
Is the world coming to an end? ^^
Also - vanish isn't on my prepared list, since I couldn't come to terms with Ronk riding on something invisible. Likewise for mirror image, I cannot imagine what happens if I mirror image while Ronk is riding me.
Besides, having to spend a 1st level spell to poof for 3 rounds really isn't worth it. Maybe if I do get lv 2 spells I may consider preparing invisibility, though I doubt it (can't come to terms with how ludicrous it'd look).
Dropping on in to let you guys know I'm still here! Just having a bit of internet trouble, plus another game. Don't count the swamp out yet!
Good to hear from you! I was getting worried.
We're going slow until Edelhur comes back fully, but give us a post when you can!
I'm here :D
WB gurpy! We missed your sharp eyes!
But then Ronk would be riding a Ghost!
Twitchy I loved the vows, simple and sweet; with just a touch of bite which was nice ;)
I kept having to correct myself since Ronk is not a well spoken so I mostly copied you formula, and he might have understood the whole meaning. I just made it Ronky.
Ronky is good. :)
Ooh, we could do the song "Ghost Riders in the Sky!" I'm sure there is some way to get both of you in the air!

@Obermind:I know you're here, but you're still getting back into the swing of things!
fly spell or a really big jump. Oh and this is now in my head. Its not even the right song.

Unfortunately the result of invisibility is the invisible man by H.G.Wells =(
And there's a way to get us both into the sky. Its called flight hex at lv 5.
"We believe we can fly
We believe we can touch the sky
We think about it every night and day
Spread our wings and fly away
We believe we can soar
We see us running through that open door
We believe we can fly
We believe we can fly
We believe we can fly"
Sorry. Couldn't resist :p
right cause hexes are fun. And either ghost kitty will work. Ronk will look like he is flying and if we can get some white power to put on the invisible kitty is will be awesome!
I'd like to time my movement so that Twitchy and co get into position at the same time Ronk and I get there in a pincer maneuver (Really? From Goblins? :P)
Running some quick calculations in my head, a Giant vulture has 50 move speed, if you stealth, you can get 50 ft on a double move. But with Medge and Gurp on I think you will be at medium encumbrance which drops fly speed to 35 ft per round. This is also not taking into consideration any actions taken by Fluffer to get Medge + Gurp in her claws (if required). You'll probably need to drop both Medge and Gurp on the ground at some point.
I think 30 ft is covered is fine for me, for now. With Ronk on, I'm at medium, so I drop to 20 ft. Unless you want us to start the party without you guys:P
What about using Acrobatics to navigate the terrain?
How many lizards do we need? I could launch a Zeli rimed frostbite seeking lizard missile that has a charge range of 80 ft.
Won't be able to catch up to them normally.
Has its risks though, Zeli will eat an AOO at -2 AC.
People, I apologize for my slow posting rate lately.
Work has hit me with a vengeance after the vacations - I am slowly getting back into my pace.
---
@Medge: Acrobatics would help, but then again you can also only move half speed while using it, right? It would biol down to the same movement speed in the end :D
@Mort: You see three lizards total

"There's a welcome here for you,
There's a welcome here for you,
We're glad you came and in Dread Pirate Goblins name,
There's a welcome here for you"
Hello are people still there?
We are! I am eagerly awaiting GM Obermind's next post!
Yep, this thing is still on - I got hit hard by work on my week back from vacations.
Back on track now, I hope.
Waiting for goblins.
"Meows"
<-- is not goblin

Argh, not the Medge, not the Medge!
*looks for a tree to climb*
Twitchy smart!
And Twitchy knows that everyone should fear the small and fierce Medge.
Ack! I posted as the wrong personality! Edelhur, can you remove GM Hmm from the characters list?
Done ;)
Thank you! Why did I post as GM Hmm? I'm not GM here!
Too much time spent with Bot Buddy 2000?
Perhaps you feel like you just can't resist co-GMing such an interesting cast of characters?
Or even more, perhaps you feel you need to GM more? I have an amazing game on the sides, just waiting for a GM to come along. Maybe you are being drawn to that. GM Hmm persona is taking over! :D
the strong desire to be the boss :)
And yay shenanigans have been approved
Ha! GM Hmm is overbooked as it is... Though I'm glad that you approve of me as a GM, Obermind. That means a lot!
Mort, yeah, I've spent way too much time with Bot Buddy. He appeared at least once in every single combat run by my Risen Sands group! I'm glad that he's mostly stayed in his box since then.
Ronk, you could be right. It's Twitchy's inner bossiness, rising to the fore! Poor Twitchy does not want to be leader, but does not see a good alternative. Maybe Kitty will make a good leader alternative, if Kitty can survive the wrath of Medge.
Twitchy will have to lock herself in her lab and hide from the ruckus that all of you are about to make for her.

Whooooo, that sounds like some sort of dare/goblin insult :D
Ronk could lead! It would be glorious, just think about it. For Glory! For Goblin Honor And for Loot!
And his reign would be short lived cause he would die but it would be glorious. Fiery and destructive.
Medge is pretty sure she's the 'leader'. Twitchy is her first mate so Twitchy deals with the boring things and Medge deals with the important things like loot and boat maintenance.

Well, lizard heart powers is still better than no heart powers I guess.
Also, Medge's threat-boast-rant is one of the best things I've ever read.
I am pleased!
Wow Medge and Mort :D
