8:26am  2015-4-18 Smon Has entered the room
8:32am  2015-4-18 Amalric Has entered the room
8:33am  2015-4-18 Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello
Amalric: good morning gents
Smon: Hi guys.
Smon: I better shut up in the General chat, BRB.
Smon: ok, back
Smon: GM: You had just massacred 6 goblins and taken their ep.
Smon: On closer inspection their red 'candle' appears to be a glowing squishy gland set on a stick.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1313,
Smon: A fire beetle gland.
Smon: There appear to be no other exits from their chamber.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 44,
Smon: Things are quiet.
Amalric: right where are we?
Smon: You got 550 xp each btw - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/session-9-6-7124445-bccc-girls-goblins.html
Amalric: ah yes
Amalric: 49ep we collected?
Amalric: heh, girls and goblins, ideal D&D scenario!
Smon: The girls are in the corridor outside; Kogor Bjornalf & Rey have had a quick look round the guardroom.
Smon: The room is at the e end of an e-w passage, the w end is the stairs going up to level 1. Midway along the 30' tunnel a side tunnel leads south.
Smon: BTW I noticed the last Thracia delve exactly paid for Rey's 3 new slaves.
Kjato Ragfoot: Lets take the south leading tunnel then?
Amalric: well he paid 75gp and earned 155gp from Thracia, so he's actually up!
Amalric: but yes S tunnel
Smon: >>Treasure 5 Thanatos pendants: 125gp/5 = 25 each? 3 pouches dust of confusion +1 war pick att +1 dam 1d8+1 piercing fine chainmail, weighs half normal (40 lb, +5 AC), value 150gp/5=30 each? reward from Lord Vex: 100gp each Total 155gp each plus magic items?<< in prior session.
Kjato Ragfoot: (Well, you know: money on the bank gets lost painfully, money invested in slaves get lost lustfully)
Amalric: yes, and paid 25gp each for the slaves
Smon: Rey paid 50gp/girl AFAICR
Smon: I don't recall any orcs agreeing to less, except 40gp for Bjornalf's girl.
Amalric: no he bargained and made a Persuasion roll, 25gp/head should be in the log
Smon: I'll check.
Amalric: (and you're right kjato, as far as money goes!)
Amalric: maybe we got our wires crossed, not a biggie
Smon: Yup, found it. You got a nat 20 on Persuasion roll, hit DC 26. My bad.
Amalric: sweet
Smon: That was extremely unlikely BTW, no mere mortal could have done that.
Amalric: of course, a legend in the making!
Amalric: or bell end, w/e
Smon: Future generations will certainly remember you...
Amalric: as Rey will have fathered them?
Smon: GM: You take the south tunnel, Rey & Kogor in the lead, Bjornalf & Alicia behind, then the rest of the slaves?
Smon: (yes, Rey: Father of His People)
Amalric: yes
Amalric: (and yes!)
Kjato Ragfoot: The dynasty of Rey will be as numerous as the sand in the ocean!
Smon: After 20' s you reach a t-junction, passage goes e-w.
Amalric: east?
Kjato Ragfoot: Let me flip a coin.
Smon: In both directions it opens out into chambers after a short distance, just 10' of wall each way (total length 30' inc 10' width of your tunnel). A red glow comes from past the e archway, partly blocked by a large divan which you would have to climb over to enter.
Kjato Ragfoot: My coin says west
Smon: The west exit is also partly blocked w a pile of old furniture and barrels.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 77,
Smon: No light from the w. You can hear faint clicking sounds from the east past the divan.
Amalric: Rey takes a look inside the E archway
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. You guys need light to see, in that case, east is probably better for you. Also, that divan looks comfy.
Smon: brb
Amalric: does Bjornalf carry any torches?
Kjato Ragfoot: Why? I can see in the dark.
Amalric: just curious
Amalric: Rey doesn't
Amalric: but Alicia can produce that blue light, or I could have one of the slaves carry my +1 dagger, which sheds light within 20'
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. I did not buy any because I have an eldrich power that allows me to see in the dark as good as with a torch.
Kjato Ragfoot: We could use the fire beetle gland from the goblins as torch as well.
Amalric: we have one? or are we about to get one?
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, Smon said the goblins we just killed used a fire beetle gland as torch. We could take it.
Smon: back
Smon: Rey moves over to the e archway, looks over the divan and sees a herd of 7 giant fire beetles penned in.
Smon: There is an acrid smell of beetle poo.
Smon: There is a lot of old broken furniture heaped in here too.
Smon: Most of it looks rotten - maybe fire beetles eat rotten wood?
Kjato Ragfoot: What about the divan?
Amalric: "Do you have a spell to counter the beetles, Bjornalf? I'd rather not fight them right now."
Amalric: "Otherwise lets go west."
Kjato Ragfoot: I could put them to sleep.
Smon: The divan is saggy but not too decayed.
Amalric: save sleep for more goblins, in case we find a crowd
Amalric: the beetles will ignore us for now
Kjato Ragfoot: But if we throw the goblin courses in, the beetles will most likely eat them and then sleep, leaving us alone.
Kjato Ragfoot: corpses
Amalric: can always use it on the beetles as we leave if we don't run into more trouble
Smon: Divan - this sort - http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/07/06__13_44_35/Turri%20t240%20milo%20classic%20couch%20daybed%20divan%20sofa%20chaise%20baroque%20victorian.jpg14556145-3ce2-40d6-93a0-e02ed0d069f1Large.jpg
Smon: GM: Rey & Bjornalf look over the divan at the beetles, discussing what to do. Kogor comes up behind. "Beetles, eh?" he says.
Amalric: lets try the W first
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 66,
Smon: Kogor nods. "Hardly seem worth killing - those glow-glands only last a few days."
Amalric: yes, just leave them for now
Kjato Ragfoot: My coin was right after all.
Amalric: never argue with the coin!
Smon: You head 30' west, back past the girls now assemble in the e-w passage, to the barrier that blocks entry to the western chamber.
Smon: The barrier is about 4' high, with a 4' gap between the top of the barrels and the top of the chamber archway.
Kjato Ragfoot: Wait her and let me take a look.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will sneak closer and peak into the room.
Amalric: go ahead
Smon: Looking over the barrels, Bjornalf sees a barren 20x20 chamber with 10' tunnels leading off w and s from w and s walls. 4 goblins are sat in a circle on the floor, chewing desultorily on scraps of meat.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornals sneaks ahead and peaks into the room.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 77,
Smon: They've somehow not spotted you yet, engrossed in some kind of sticks game (rolled below 10 on 3 d20 listen checks for them so far)
Smon: They each have a pair of javelins close at hand.
Amalric: what is the barrier made of?
Kjato Ragfoot: I will make a minor illusion on one goblin, so that he thinks the sticks moved, while the other thinks it was stable.
Smon: "Graggle- stuck.... Kimber vugh..." says one, yawning.
Kjato Ragfoot: So that they start to argue.
Smon: Bjornalf does his casting.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
Smon: Soon enough the goblins start arguing, one pushes another.
Smon: The pushed one screeches and leaps to his feet, drawing a short blade.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 66,
Smon: The other two sit and laugh as the two angry ones face off with drawn blades.
Smon: /roll d20x2
Smon Rolls 1d20x2 and gets:
4 = 4
18 = 18
Smon: The pushed one is faster & lunges...
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 77, (+4) = 11
Smon: misses...
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1212, (+4) = 16
Smon: *sklutch* the pusher stabs home...
Smon: /roll d6+2
Smon rolls 1d6+2 and gets: 66, (+2) = 8
Smon: Pushee staggers back, blood welling from its abdomen, and collapses, writhing in agony.
Amalric: Rey nods admiring the bladework
Smon: The other three laugh. Pusher moves in and slits his comrade's throat, then rifles its purse.
Amalric: what is the barrier made of? (3)
Smon: 3 barrels, heaps of broken wood furniture, chairs & a 3 legged table.
Amalric: shall we smash it in and charge them? Kogor leading?
Smon: Pusher kicks the corpse of pushee, then turns back to the game.
Smon: It looks pretty solid (DC 15 STR check, add prof)
Smon: action to push open
Smon: Kogor clanks up and nods to Rey. "I'll smash it..."
Smon: /roll d20
Amalric: Kogor is the bulky fighter, he should do it
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 2020,
Amalric: sure his hate for goblins will....yes, that!
Smon: The goblins look up. "Yaagh? KHASSIN!!"
Smon: Kogor: "Fun times!" he lowers his head and slams into the barrier.
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 33, (+5) = 8
Amalric: Rey follows
Kjato Ragfoot: I will poison spray one of the goblins from afar.
Smon: The barrier holds. The goblins grab their javelins and stand, fanning out - roll init
Smon: /roll d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1818, (+2) = 20
Amalric rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1919, (+4) = 23
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 88, (+2) = 10
Smon: Bjornalf stands behind the barrier casting poison spray as Kogor tries to break it open, Rey beside them (it's a bit cramped, 3 of you in 10' tunnel)
Smon: Rey can go first.
Amalric: i assume i have to try the barrier?
Amalric: throwing a dagger won't do much
Smon: You can throw a dagger over it, or climb over it, or hide behind it so they all throw at Bjornalf...
Smon: You have rapier drawn I assume.
Amalric: well yes
Smon: Rem you are an Assassin & can always Sneak Attack foes who haven't acted yet in r1.
Amalric: and would have normal dagger in the other hand - wasn't holding my magical one in case the light alerted the goblins
Smon: So your dagger adds +2d6
Amalric: oh cool
Smon: Because 3 of you are squeezed in I'm saying the +2 cover bonus is negated by -2 squeeze penalty, so gobs will attack visible target w/o any mods.
Smon: If you throw dagger, roll to hit now.
Amalric rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 1212, (+6) = 18
Smon: btw you also have advantage vs them in r1 can roll twice & take best.
Smon: anyway your hit is d4+4+2d6
Amalric: well thats a hit
Amalric rolls 1d4+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 5
Amalric rolls 2d6 and gets: 22, 66, = 8
Smon: I added your new slaves to your PC sheets - Rey http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-amalric-pc-rey.html
Smon: The goblin drops, arrow in the throat.
Smon: Two goblins throw...
Smon: /roll 1d2x2
Smon Rolls 1d2x2 and gets:
2 = 2
2 = 2
Smon: Both at Bjornalf.
Kjato Ragfoot: (Booh! Booh!)
Smon: /roll d20+4x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:
5 (+4) = 9
10 (+4) = 14
Smon: 1 hit
Smon: /roll d6+2
Smon rolls 1d6+2 and gets: 33, (+2) = 5
Smon: 5 dmg
Amalric: (ah slaves, excellent - I bookmarked my char sheet last night just for referencing combat stats!)
Smon: Are you guys tracking your hp ok?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes - Bjornalf at 16/24
Amalric: unhurt
Smon: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, they all attacked me so far. Not a single goblin attacked you.
Smon: lol
Smon: Bjornalf shoots poison spray...
Smon: dex save right?
Kjato Ragfoot: Con save.
Amalric: my Air of Magnificence is impenetrable to goblins
Smon: /roll d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 99, (+2) = 11
Smon: ok, con is 9, fail
Smon: dmg?
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d12 and gets: 1111,
Amalric: nice
Kjato Ragfoot: Choke, goblin, choke!
Smon: The goblin screams horribly and falls, choking.
Smon: The last goblin looks worried, starts heading for the s exit.
Smon: Kogor slams the barrier again...
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 2020, (+5) = 25
Smon: It slams open in a huge blast and he goes barreling in at the goblin...
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 1212, (+5) = 17
Smon: it tries to dodge
Smon: /roll d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1212, (+2) = 14
Smon: Kogor slams into it and it goes down with him on top, goblin shrieking.
Smon: Rey's turn.
Amalric: is it safe to strike with Kogor atop it?
Smon: Yes if you are careful - make unmodified attack roll, no advtg
Amalric rolls 1d20 and gets: 1414,
Smon: Goblin draws its blade trying to stab Kogor, but Rey moves in and sticks it.
Smon: add +2d6
Amalric rolls 1d8+4 and gets: 22, (+4) = 6
Amalric rolls 2d6 and gets: 66, 44, = 10
Smon: It stops moving.
Amalric:
Smon: Kogor stands up, beaming. "Fun!"
Amalric: "Search the bodies. Bjornalf, can you see anything down the next corridor?"
Smon: The girls come in behind you, Alicia glowing blue from her magic light.
Smon: /roll 8d6
Smon rolls 8d6 and gets: 22, 22, 44, 44, 66, 33, 55, 66, = 32
Smon: 32 ep on the goblins.
Kjato Ragfoot: Wait a moment, I need to remove that blood from my eyes. Those goblins brushed my hair.
Smon: The w tunnel runs only 10' to a n-s t-junction. The s tunnel runs s 30' to what looks like a 4-way junction, but seems to end just beyond that.
Smon: Alicia glares at the goblin corpses. "Nasty vermin. These ones have smaller heads than the ones that burnt my town and massacred my family..." she sighs sadly.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 33,
Smon: All seems quiet.
Smon: Kogor takes the money.
Kjato Ragfoot: Anything else in this room, beside the goblins and the trash?
Smon: No, it's barren. Just the javelins & sticks.
Kjato Ragfoot: I will give the javelins to Candice.
Amalric: where now?
Kjato Ragfoot: Carry those for me, please, I might need to throw them at goblins.
Smon: Candice takes a pile of javelins, nods uncertainly.
Smon: Kogor: "The gobbo was making for the south exit when I splatted him."
Kjato Ragfoot: So, there should be more goblins and thus more treasure to the south.
Smon: Kogor nods.
Smon: "Let's go.." He starts heading south.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will follow.
Smon: Kogor reaches the s intersection and calls back to you. "West and south tunnels dead-end! There's a door to the east."
Smon: Bjornalf joins Kogor - 2 dead ends 10' from the junction. To the e the tunnel runs 30' ending at a solid wooden door w handle & lock.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1414,
Smon: Still quiet.
Amalric: Rey investigates the door
Smon: Rey moves past them to check the door...
Smon: /roll d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1818, (+3) = 21
Smon: It appears to be locked, fairly crude lock, no sign of traps. The tunnel seems well-used, no dust.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 33,
Smon: still quiet.
Amalric: Rey tries the lock
Smon: pick it?
Amalric rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 1111, (+8) = 19
Amalric: yes?
Smon: +6 not +8, but you still get it unlocked. There's a faint click from the lock.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1616,
Amalric: (oh I just go with the +8 for Stealth, not a clue really)
Smon: You have expertise only in Stealth & Persuasion, which doubles your Prof bonus for those checks.
Smon: Otherwise DEX + Prof so +6
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1616,
Amalric: ahhh I see
Smon: Rey can hear guttural voices behind the door, like goblins but deeper and harsher. They don't seem worried.
Kjato Ragfoot: Peak through the keyhole!
Smon: "Ghashbag, send Ghuik to check on the gobbos in Guardroom 1..."
Amalric: Rey looks to the others, seeing if they're ready to charge?
Amalric: Kogor especially
Amalric: better to hit them inside
Kjato Ragfoot: I'd prefer falling back and ambushing Ghuik
Smon: Rey looks through the keyhole - room faintly lit by fire beetle glands, he sees piles of straw, a couple female goblins stripping a rabbit.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 44,
Smon: The speakers are out of sight.
Amalric: we've already picked the lock though, chances are they'll notice if they open the door
Smon: "Gha... alright. Ghuik! Move ya lazy ass! Go check on Guardroom 1! See they ain't slacking off again!"
Smon: A high pitched goblin voice whines. "Yesss, master Ghashbag."
Amalric: okay lets fall back and ambush this little un
Kjato Ragfoot: Lets fall back, ambush Ghuik and interrogate him.
Kjato Ragfoot: He can tell us how many and what kind of enemies are in that room.
Amalric: you go up the corridor, i'll lurk in the S dead-end and we can catch him from both sides
Kjato Ragfoot: All right.
Smon: There are a bunch of girls just round the corner from you in the tunnel now, you need Alicia to douse her light if you're gonna ambush.
Amalric: can we get them back to the last room?
Amalric: i'll see when i draw my magical dagger to attack
Smon: Bjornalf & Kogor hurry back and turn right, shooing the girls back to the last room and getting Alicia to douse the light.
Smon: Rey lurks in the s dead end. You hear fiddling with the lock, the door creak open.
Smon: "fhaghle lox..."
Smon: /roll d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 1212, (+1) = 13
Smon: It's pitch dark. Luckily Rey hears the pad of the approaching goblin ok.
Smon: As it reaches the intersection he draws the enchanted dagger, revealing a dazzled and very surprised goblin.
Smon: Rey can attack w surprise
Smon: advtg on both atts
Smon: hit to subdue?
Amalric rolls 2d20 and gets: 66, 88, = 14
Amalric: ugh
Amalric: yes
Smon: rapier misses.
Amalric: dagger hits?
Smon: Half dmg as your weapons are not well suited for subdual, need a club
Amalric rolls 1d4+4 and gets: 44, (+4) = 8
Smon: no that was your first attack roll 2 dice for dagger too
Amalric rolls 2d6 and gets: 33, 66, = 9
Smon: advtg means 2 d20s
Amalric rolls 2d20 and gets: 66, 1212, = 18
Smon: take best
Amalric: 12 must hit then
Smon: ok hit, 17/2=9 dmg, Rey whacks gobbo upside the head and KOs it.
Amalric: nice
Amalric: we'll drag it back to the last guardroom
Smon: Rey drags - more like carries - the little goblin back to the guard chamber, joining the others.
Smon: The dagger light illuminates the nervous slave girls & heroic trio plus captive.
Kjato Ragfoot: The other guards left some food and drink. Bjornalf will take it, gently wake the goblin, offer him some food and smile at him.
Kjato Ragfoot: Horrible if bigger ones sent you around, letting you do the horrible work, isn't it`?
Smon: Ghuik takes a couple minutes to come round, still groggy. He dazedly takes some of the meat and chews, regarding Rey sourly.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
Smon: make a persuasion check Bjornalf, d20+5
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 1515, (+5) = 20
Smon: heh. Ghuik nods eagerly. "Yes sir master sir."
Smon: He casts an eye over the dead guards. "Room number 3, 4 casual-tyes..." he mutters.
Smon: He looks up at Bjornalf. "Guardroom number 1, 6 casual-tyes?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf nods.
Kjato Ragfoot: We would prefer no more casualties.
Smon: Ghuik nods. "Me prefer me no casual-tye."
Kjato Ragfoot: I knew you would be a sensible fellow.
Smon: "Very seny-ble."
Kjato Ragfoot: We are looking for treasure, not for goblins.
Smon: Ghuik nods. "Da big Masters have loadsa treasure! Many gobbos died ta get it for dem!"
Smon: "Da big masters iz Hob-Goblinz! Not nice like Ghuik! Nasty!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Hobgoblins. Thought so. Bjornalf nods sadly.
Kjato Ragfoot: How many hobgoblins are there?
Smon: He chatters on happily. "Ghashbag az der potions, Ghashgut az der magic axe. And der big boss has der gems."
Smon: Ghuik thinks hard, trying to count on his fingers. "One... two... three! Iz three!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Three. You must be really tough goblins if there need to be three hobgoblins to keep you in check.
Smon: "Da Big Boss iz Captain Kasgor! He has da two Wize Old Gobbos wid im."
Smon: Ghuik nods.
Smon: "Kasgor iz real nasty. He az da plate armour he took offa 'uman."
Smon: "Gobbo knive canna hurt 'im."
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf points at Korgars axe.
Kjato Ragfoot: I am sure that axe could.
Kjato Ragfoot: I am sure, we could help each other.
Smon: "Prob'ly right." Ghuik looks at Kogar and gulps.
Amalric: "Are the wise old golbins shamans?"
Smon: Ghuik nods. "Yep."
Amalric: "That is a powerful bunch."
Kjato Ragfoot: We free you from the hobgoblin, and you help us surprising them.
Kjato Ragfoot: We won't harm any goblin that does not try to harm us.
Smon: "Dey sez we az ta follow Kasgor. He leadz uz ta Glory."
Amalric: "To death more like, while hobgobs take all the loot!"
Smon: Ghuik sighs. "Da udder Gobz iz Scared of da Masters. Dey'll fight you."
Smon: Ghuik nods to Rey. "Lots of uz diez, yes. Was happier before we camez 'ere."
Kjato Ragfoot: You can lure them away, can't you? Leaving only few goblins behind to guard the hobgoblins.
Smon: "Da Wize old Gobz sez we gettin loadz of treysure, butz it all goes ta dem & the Masters."
Smon: Ghuik looks at Bjornalf. "Howz I lurez dem?"
Kjato Ragfoot: What would make the masters send many of you goblins out of your lair?
Smon: Ghuik shrugs. "If bigz attack we suppozed ta get masters ta elp us."
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 44,
Kjato Ragfoot: But if there was a cave in, the masters would simply send the goblins to repair it?
Kjato Ragfoot: So, if you said guard room 1 had an accident, they would simply send goblins to care for it?
Smon: "Accident?"
Smon: "Dunno." he looks uncertain.
Smon: Kogor yawns. "Come on Bjornalf, times a wasting."
Kjato Ragfoot: For example, the barrier crashed.
Kjato Ragfoot: And you need to rebuilt it.
Smon: "Barrier? Oh, dat barrier! But diss iz Guardroom number 3!"
Smon: He gestures at the smashed barricade,
Smon: "Maybe if da beetlez got out? Need elpz ta gets em back?"
Smon: "It appens..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Right. That sounds good.
Smon: Ghuik nods. "Me real clever! Me elp yaz! Ya gives me Treasure?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Of course, we will.
Smon: He puts out a hopeful hand.
Smon: "For myz good idea?"
Kjato Ragfoot: I give him 10 gold pieces.
Kjato Ragfoot: For your good idea and your help.
Smon: Ghuik takes the coins very happily. "Mmm, good coinz! Now me iz ya Faithful Servant!"
Smon: "We go Adventuring together?" he smiles, showing sharp pointed teeth. "You iz Good Master!"
Smon: GM: You send Ghuik back to summon the goblins with news of a beetle escape?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Smon: ok, you send Ghuik back south and douse your lights, so only Bjornalf can see.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1818,
Kjato Ragfoot: And our group hides in the other tunnel, so that the goblins can walk past us.
Kjato Ragfoot: And we storm their headquarter once they are gone.
Smon: Leave girls in main guard room, Kogor Rey & Bjornalf hide in the s tunnel/alcove?
Smon: Girls will be blind w no light, but Alicia can make light if something tries to eat them.
Kjato Ragfoot: What do the others think? It would be my plan, at least.
Amalric: just reading it
Smon: Or if you want something more complicated where all the goblins go past your entire group you will need to work out how & tell me.
Amalric: we dont want all the goblins to go past in case they turn on us, eat the girls, etc
Kjato Ragfoot: Right. We mainly want to weaken their defences.
Smon: ok, so K R & B in south alcove, girls stay 40' north in 'guardroom 3' w light off.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. And I ask Ghuik were the masters are.
Smon: K R & B head south and hide in the alcove sending Ghuik to the door. You hear him knock. "Lemme in! Beetlez is out!"
Smon: (they're behind the door)
Smon: You hear a key turn in the lock, Ghuik goes in, the door closes behind him. A minute later the door opens again and you hear the sound of multiple goblins approaching.

Smon: You have Surprise, what are you doing?
Kjato Ragfoot: Surrender quietly and you may live weatlhy.
Amalric: why are we attacking goblins?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. There is no reason to attack them. They are to go into the guardroom to be convinced to work with us.
Smon: Ghuik: The goblins stare at you. Ghuik calls out: "Deze are our Friendz! Dey come az Liberatorz!"
Smon: Bjornalf make CHA check d20+5

Smon: Ghuik: "Dey ave come ta Save uz from da Masters!"
Smon: The three goblins look to each other, then nod. "Wee surrender!... Wealthy?"
Smon: GM: The four goblins seem amenable.
Kjato Ragfoot: Ask Ghuik what he got for working with us. We will pay everyone who helps us defeating the hobgoblins.
Smon: Kogor: "Did the masters lock the door behind ye?" Ghuik nods.
Smon: Ghuik: "Five gold he gives me!"
Smon: The three goblins nod and smile happily.
Smon: (need to stop soon)
Smon: (Graham are you there? If so & we get a move on, can do 1 more encounter)
Kjato Ragfoot: All right. Then let's assault the master.
Smon: Kogor turns to Bjornalf. "Get Ghuik to tell them to open the door, then the three of us burst in and kill their Masters."
Kjato Ragfoot: Amalric can open the door, we storm in and the goblins try to convince the remaining goblins not to harm us in return for being freed from the masters.
Smon: Kogor nods. "OK."
Amalric: (here)
Smon: You head east down the tunnel to the door, the 4 goblins following.
Amalric: yes

Smon: Two female goblins are dismembering a skinned rabbit, while 3 infant goblins crawl in the filth.

Amalric: okay

Kjato Ragfoot: I wave Ghuik to bring the wives out.

Amalric: seems like a plan
Smon: Ghuilk waves the rest of the goblins to follow him, heading back west.
Kjato Ragfoot: Are there more goblin wives?
Amalric: "If you even touch them, we'll kill you all."
Smon: The goblins nod fearfully to Rey.
Amalric: Rey waves his blades that are dripping hobbo blood for emphasis
Smon: "No more wives."
Smon: "We iz all der chillydren. Except dad. And he's not 'ere. Hobgobs kicked 'im out."
Smon: "Now ee iz all alone. ee iz very sad."
Smon: The goblins leave, leaving you alone in the chamber.

Amalric: plus the shamans
Smon: Kogor picks up a finely crafted Altanian battle axe a hobgoblin dropped.
Amalric: they'll be expecting us
Smon: Then he takes the two potion gourds from the second hobgoblin.
Smon: He sniffs them. "More healing potions..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, there is nothing we can do about that now. Except for slaughtering them quickly.
Smon: "And a nice magic axe. Surprised you didn't search em first." He grins.
Amalric: its not about the money, money, money...
Smon: Both the hobgobs also have large leather pouches bulging with coin.
Amalric: "Can't use the axe and I still have a potion. Plus, you just earned the lead entrance..."
Amalric: Rey pockets one pouch, and throws the other to Bjornalf
Smon: "In that case we'll split their coin..."
Smon: Kogor says.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will pocket it and then spy into the southern room.
Kjato Ragfoot: Do not sell the boars pelt before you killed it.
Smon: Kogor sighs as Rey & Bjornalf take the money.
Smon: Each pouch full of 500gp!
Amalric: "Fair split? We can discuss it later anyway, now we have work to do..."
Smon: The south door is unlocked, it opens into a corridor that runs 30' south, ending in a door.

Kjato Ragfoot: I will look around the corner and, depending on what I see, will cast either Shatter or Sleep.
Smon: Bjornalf moves to the end of the short tunnel and looks left. He sees two old robed goblins and a huge hobgoblin in plate getting to their feet around a square table; they are picking up the table - to use as cover? The hobgoblin wears gleaming bronze half-plate, an Altanian greatsword at his broad weapon belt, javelins in a quiver.
Amalric: sleep?
Smon: The robed old goblins wear jewelry - one has ornate gem-studded silver bracers, the other a jeweled golden torc.
Kjato Ragfoot: All right. Shatter in the middle of them.

Smon: Kogor looks to Bjornalf, nods.
Smon: Skinning a giant ferret is a major undertaking, if you had Hakeem or Kradis here it might be practical.

Amalric: "Unless we come back another time?"
Amalric: okay leave that
