GM G's Rise of the Goblin Guild

[Darmut Skychaser]

Darmut races over to the stairs and just leaps across to the upper set trying to scramble up, but failing to get anywhere.

Shersht Con: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

[Sterelin McKeaough]

If the slumber hit, how die he hit me with alchemist's fire? Am I missing a goblin?

Sterelin rolls on the ground, trying to quench the flames.

[Saitama]

There's a total of 4 goblins if that helps; 1 ganked, two asleep (one being the alchemist that took out Shersht), and the one that hit you that was blasted by magic missily goodness that just passed out from its injuries.

Also, when trying to put out a fire, it's a DC 15 Reflex save, and stop-drop-rolling gives you a +4 bonus.

"Iroran Frisky Monkey Climb!", Saitama bellows out as he starts pulling himself up with all the strength he can muster!

Swift action to use a Strength blessing for +1 to Strength checks

Climb Check: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23

Huzzah!

Reaching the upper platform, Saitama will pull out his Iroran Wand of Lesser Divine Recovery

[Marduk the Pale]

No, no, you disgrace our order!!!!!! Irori's domain isn't gigolo-ism.

[Saitama]

But then why does Monkey steal the Peach?

[Marduk the Pale]

By Irori's divine fist, that is both below the belt and painful. Reserve something underhanded for a BBEG.

[Saitama]

I think those traditional silly monks call that 'Stunning Fist'.

[Merevelyn]

Merevelyn hurries into the room and fires another unerring bolt of force into the downed goblin, while reminding Ekkie, "Alchemist's fire only later, Ekkie."
Move into the room, 10' E of ('below') the sleeping goblin on the lower level.

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Caelum flies off her shoulder and flutters around near the top of the chamber in the lower level, viewing the whole field.
Total defense SA.

[Sterelin McKeaough]

Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

[GM G]

With two sleeping goblins and two dying ones combat is over.

Shersht Stabilise: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

I assume that Saitama cures Shersht with his wand. Deduct one charge What do you do with the two sleeping goblins?

Saitama cures Shersht: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Goblin possessions:
Alchemist's fire * 6
Acid *2
Flash powder *2
Smokesticks *2
Sneezing Powder
Alchemist Kit
Formula Book
Mundane items, daggers + dogslicers.

Status
Darmut: 9/12
Marduk: 4/14
Saitama: 8/13
Shersht: 2/7
Sterelin: 2/8
Goblin W (Red background): 6 damage, asleep 3 rounds
Goblin Alchemist: 12 damage, asleep 4 round

[Wyeth Riceak]

Clearly still angry but seeing Darmut well enough to go dashing off, Wyeth moves over to Sterelin and tries to help pat out the flames as the witch rolls on the floor. Once the fire is out, he gestures and lays hands on Sterelin as he chants, "క్యూర్ కాంతి గాయాలు!"

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

[Marduk the Pale]

"Brother Saitama, do you have any inspiring words for a coup de grace? If we don't these goblins will stab us in the back later on."

[Merevelyn]

Merevelyn hesitates. Normally, she would give little thought about killing the goblin enemies in their sleep, especially the alchemist leader. It is likely that the goblins, themselves, would do the same. But, Merevelyn feels pangs of doubt, and whispers to Marduk: "Should we show a better, more merciful example? The alchemist is too dangerous, but the follower could be tied up and let go later."

[Marduk the Pale]

"It is true defeating or killing an opponent in battle is the honorable way, but certainly the alchemist should be dealt with. The follower could be tied up, but may i suggest a gag and locked up inside a small box or barrel and put into a room that is deserted. Risking an alarm is too dangerous."

[Darmut Skychaser]

Darmut is just upset over Shersht nearly dying not a big deal for me OOC if the goblins live, but IC he wants all of these fire throwers dead.

Darmut climbs up to the platform and rushes to Shersht casting a healing spell before plunging his trident through the center of the alchemists face and then stamping upon the creatures face until it is a bloody shattered remnant.

This done in silence, he moves back to Shersht and begins examining the roc's wounds with care,

"They all die. I will not let them go. And why is that one still with us, tell her to wait for us, she is no help and I cannot be pleasant for her to see others of her kind killed. Wait for us outside Ekkie."

Then he casts detect magic and examines the alchemists corpse.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

[Wyeth Riceak]

"Before, I'd've said slit their throats and be done with it. But our last mission taught me there are bad goblins and good... well... 'not so bad' goblins, same as people."

"I see no need," he says, raising his voice and glancing in Darmut's direction, "to take more lives here."

That said, he places one hand on Marduk's shoulder, motions briefly with his other, and intones, "క్యూర్ కాంతి గాయాలు!"

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

[Marduk the Pale]

"Thank you, i feel much better."

[Darmut Skychaser]

Darmut stares at Wyeth, saying in his flat monotone, "Really and which one of those categories do thieves who extort meat on pain of arson, and are especially skilled in throwing fire bombs fit into do you think? Because I say category number one."

[Wyeth Riceak]

"You mean as compared to someone who just enthusiastically staved a face in?" snarks Wyeth in reply. "If someone measured you on that alone, how would you be judged?"

His gaze returns to the incapacitated goblin. "I'm not saying it isn't evil; I'm saying we don't know. And if we can control the situation without killing but do so anyway..."

He looks up at Darmut again.

"... does that make us any better than them?"

[Darmut Skychaser]

"That monster nearly burned Shersht alive, I know. And yes, we are better than them, because we are not thieving arsonist vermin. Nobody does that to my friend and gets to live. What do you think the city would do with goblin thieves and extortionists, give them a medal? They would kill them."

[Merevelyn]

"Yes, but I have to hope there is a different way, and a chance for change, and that evil can be turned to good ... or, at least, 'not so bad', as Wyeth has said," Merevelyn says, gesturing discreetly with her eyes towards Ekkie.

I've been assuming that we are tying them up while we are discussing this. Maybe Shersht should be 'taking care of' the alchemist before it wakes...

[Marduk the Pale]

The alchemist has been taken care of Merevelyn.....its head is a mere mush now.

[Darmut Skychaser]

"Self interest is not good, she did not volunteer we captured her. You can prolong there suffering and hand them over to be killed, but we are not letting these things go, and it would be easier for us and them to slay them now."

[Saitama]

Sorry, was running a con this weekend!

"While I cannot accept kill a comatose combatant, that is my way of enlightenment and muscleatude. Irori understands the path to truth is different for everyone, and upholding justice does vary by the ways of others. I think there's the saying, 'Eye for a spleen, lest ye turn the other buttcheek.'", the warpriest nodding wisely to his own wisdom.

Using CLW wand on himself again

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Does anyone else needs Irori's Divine Recovery?"

[Marduk the Pale]

"It depends on how many charges you have remaining. I'm quite well again, but not yet 100%."

[Darmut Skychaser]

"Fine bind them and stuff them in barrels and we will give them to he authorities to kill," Darmut replies, turning to Saitama he says, [b]"I could use some healing, as could Shersht."

Both down by 3.

[Saitama]

CLW @ Marduk: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW @ Darmut: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW @ Shersht: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Boom, I wish I could heal like that more often!

"Excellent! Now, anything of use amongst these unfair foes?"

[Wyeth Riceak]

Wyeth pokes through the collected belongings. "Most any of this could be useful, depending on the situation. Excepting the goblin weapons, it probably wouldn't hurt to take all of it, just in case."

He rises from his squat, a flask in each hand. "I'll carry two more of the Alchemist's Fires, unless there are objections."

[Darmut Skychaser]

Darmut shakes his head, glowering at the alchemists fire. Once everything is gathered he and Shersht lead the way down the eastern corridor, turning north.

[GM G]

Darmut: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

goblins: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21[/spoiler

Sterelin cured himself, using his own wand before moving onwards.

The party moves on and comes to a dank chamber, bisected by a large stone channel. Thick masonry pipes clutter the room, feeding into the channel or
flowing across the ceiling. A stone walkway without a railing crosses the channel, but crude barbed caltrops litter the length of this bridge. The entire chamber is damp and moldy, and the faint sound of dripping water resonates softly through the area. Three goblins stand on the other side of the bridge. Two of them are holding crude polearms, ready to attack anyone that tries to cross the bridge while the third one starts insulting the Pathfinders with a song!

Ugly longshanks got no brain,
Soon they tasting lots of pain,
Kill that one and the rest will flee,
So come here longshanks, come to me!

You longshanks are all the same,
You longshanks we hack and maim,
We’ll make you squeal and make you cry,
So come on longshanks, come and die!

Sterelin, please acknowledge that you deducted 1 charge of your wand of infernal healing

[Saitama]

"This sure is a catchy song,
Hope I don't land my jump wrong!", Saitama sings in tune with the mocking melody, moving along the south side of the room and leaping over the pit of ick, not hoping to reproduce the events of his very first mission!

Saitama acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

That should be successful, in which case Saitama will end 2 square up and 4 square left of the westmost goblin

[Darmut Skychaser]

At Darmut's order Shersht swoops in easily dodging the goblin's clumsy thrusts to attack the southern one, but miss timing the snap of his beak and missing.

Darmut races forward following Saitama and just amanging to leap over the gap moving up to the end of the pipe.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

[Merevelyn]

Merevelyn waits until there is room, then moving forward 5' and firing her wand of magic missiles at he mouthy goblin. "I hate to be a critic, but you presume we need to come close."

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

[Marduk the Pale]

Marduk as well takes the southern route.
But that's likely to be done in next round. Still quite a way to move.

He'd end up SW of the right-facing pipe after a 2x move. (Keeping 10ft for the jump)

[Wyeth Riceak]

Wyeth moves just into the room and shifts to the side to gain some cover from the pipes. MA, 15' west then a step north, ending up against the eastern wall directly in line with the bridge.

"How right you are, Merevelyn," he says as the lets go of his fauchard and pulls the crossbow off of his backpack. MA again.

[GM G]

Combat Dice:

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

The goblins at the west end of the bridge where ready for an assault and strike out at Shersht twice! Luckily for the bird they both miss.

Saitama lands perfectly on the other side of the muck, he is soon followed by Darmut who discovers that the ground is rather slippery here! He flails with both hands to regain his balance, will he make it or not?

DC20 Reflex save or fall in backwards. Luckily for you there are handholds at both sides of the channel at the southern end

Merevelyn fires a bolt of pure force at the singing goblin, a shimmering shield suddenly appears that absorbs the magic missile! Marduk and Wyeth move closer to the action. Sterelin also moves closer and uses his slumber hex at the Northern goblin. That goblin falls asleep! Ekkie whispers to Merevelyn "That goblin in the middle is Vershevosh"

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

After Shersht bites the southern goblin it retaliates and scores a lucky hit! Vershevosh casts a spell at Shersht.

DC12 Will save or be frightened, otherwise shaken

[Wyeth Riceak]

Wyeth's eyes narrow at Ekkie's words, "Oh is it, now. Then that's the one we want," he says as he loads his crossbow.

[GM G]

Wyeth, the suspense is killing me ;-) Next round I guess someone will get a heavy bolt through his brains...

[Saitama]

Saitama should be closer; he had the movement distance to reach the western end of the southern passageway

"Oh Irori, guide this fire!
So I can silence goblin choir!", the Tien man sings, throwing one of the captured vials of alchemist's fire at the singing goblin!

Saitama alchemist's fire @ singing goblin: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 2 = 2
Fire Damage on hit: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Not even close...

"Oh no, Irori thought that was bad!
Goblin tactics must make him sad!"

[Darmut Skychaser]

Shersht does not take the satire penalty since it is language dependant and he neither speaks nor understands common.

Darmut topples into the filth, and begins hurriedly climbing out, as he does so he orders Shersht to attack the central goblin. The roc swoops over and tears into the goblin, despite being badly wounded by another lucky goblin

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Forgot about this again :)

[Wyeth Riceak]

Oh dear, Darmut.

Wyeth takes a sidestep to the left, (5' step to the south to assure a clean line of sight) sights his crossbow, and fires at the magic user. (MA to load, previously described; SA to fire.)

Ranged Attack (Crossbow): 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 1 = 14 Bah!
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2 Re-bah!

[Marduk the Pale]

Marduk takes a small sprint to jump over the sludge
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
facepalm...

[Wyeth Riceak]

More like facemuck...

[Saitama]

Seeing Marduk potentially slip into the sludge, Saitama cries out. "I don't mean to sound that rude, but you must exercise more dude!"

[GM G]

DC20 reflex for Marduk to avoid faling into the sludge...

[Marduk the Pale]

Arrgh: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Facepalm again....

[Wyeth Riceak]

Clearly, you've been missing all the "fun" we had in the museum restroom...

[Darmut Skychaser]

Ah, raw effluent! Its boon because everything seems wonderful by comparison. I might be paying my taxes, but at least I'm not swimming in poop!

[Marduk the Pale]

If i get my hands on them, i'll forget for a moment i'm LN and go smashing some goblin heads for this.

[GM G]

Darmut, can you roll the dc12 will save for Shersht? It is a spell (Cause Fear) and not language dependant.

Saitama, you are right, I counted twice and when I was about to spell things out just now for you I could not get to the same position using the most efficient movement. Will reposition you on the next map

Marduk, you are one of the lucky few who get to roll a fortitude save to avoid a nasty disease.
