[QUOTE="pogre, post: 6055598, member: 6588"] Episode Four The group set-off for Thistletop after learning from Tsuto's journal that the mastermind of the attack of Sandpoint was there. They found the coast covered in a thick layer of nettles, thorns, and briars - many reaching over 20 feet in height. The Ranger, Fireheart, found some narrow tunnels and paths leading through the brushy stuff. The group found numerous signs of goblins and a well-used path that led to a concealed passage deeper into the brush. Following the tunnels of greenery led to a clearing dominated with a large hole. Inspection of the hole revealed that it was at least 80-feet deep and the sounds of sloshing water could be detected far below. Aggie suggested jumping down. Bug replied, "Yeah, probably right into the maw of a giant Black Pudding." Skulleater mused half to himself, "Mmmmm, pudding...." The group chuckled and moved through some more tunnels and found a large group of goblins. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_01_goblins.jpg[/IMG] There were almost a dozen goblins in the clearing, but the group made quick work of them. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_02_goblin_combat.jpg[/IMG] The adventures also came upon a kennel of goblin dogs and hacked the nasty beasts down in short order. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_03_goblin_dogs.jpg[/IMG] Further exploration led to unmanned guard outposts overlooking the bluff and shore and ocean below. The group then found a clearing with a nest of sorta and another chamber beyond. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_04_shaman_lair.jpg[/IMG] Bug spotted a thrush burst up through the growth into the air above the brambles. Bug reported to the group, "I think somebody just sent out a warning about us." The group moved to the next chamber and found a goblin shaman with his pet wildcat. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_05_shaman_cat.jpg[/IMG] A brutal combat followed, but the Goblin shaman and his wildcat escaped into the undergrowth. A quick check about the place revealed a lot of bird bones and not much else. The group finally stumbled onto a rickety rope bridge leading from the shore to an elevated island topped by a wooden structure. Fearlessly (foolishly?) the piled onto the bridge to run across. Naturally, the bridge gave way, but every single adventurer was able to grab onto the remaining rope to avoid tumbling 80-feet down to the surf below. The group resecured the bridge again and made their way across a bit more cautiously the second time. A wooden gate flanked by high guard towers dominated the shore. As the adventurers approached they were attacked by goblins on dogs below and goblins with archers above. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_06_Mounted_goblins.jpg[/IMG] The goblins took a while to kill and the entire time the group was getting peppered by goblin arrows. The archers were not particularly deadly, but highly annoying nonetheless. The enraged barbarian cleaned up the remaining mounted goblins with his mighty ax swings and burst through the gate into the structure. Shagrax called for a spiritual hammer and smashed two of the goblin archers. Meanwhile, Fireheart quickly scaled a tree near a tower and surprised the remaining goblin archers by practically jumping atop them. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_07_fireheart_goblin.jpg[/IMG] The Half-Elf ranger quickly killed the remaining archers as the rest of the group made their way into the structure. In the first room the group was confronted by a half-dozen goblins. Shagrax got in a bit of trouble by running out in front of the group to confront the goblins. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_08_shagrax_combat.jpg[/IMG] However, by the time Fireheart made it down to them from the tower top the chamber was coated in Gobbo blood. The group continued to explore the area and found a large open air plaza with four goblin dogs pacing about. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep04_09_courtyard_combat.jpg[/IMG] The dogs were killed quickly. An injured horse was discovered in an outbuilding near the plaza. The group debated putting the animal out of its misery, but decided to move on instead. They found numerous other nasty goblins secreted about the place, including some leader groups. They killed them all. Shagrax insisted on collecting goblin ears on the way just in case someone back in Sandpoint would offer a bounty for them. With about half of the complex explored the adventurers came across a nasty privy, but in the privy's fall wall they found a concealed door and a sizable amount of treasure beyond. Skulleater opened another small door and found some stairs leading down. "Let's go down," the barbarian suggested. "Leaving thy enemy behind to ambush our skins reeks of foolishness. There be numerous places on this story yet unexplored," Shagrax replied. The group divided in a debate on whether to proceed down or explore the rest of the ground floor they were on. An ominous half-roar. half-moan issued up from the stairs. "By the gods! What was that?" Fireheart exclaimed. "Don't blaspheme!" Aggie the paladin retorted. The strange sound issued forth again slightly louder from the stairs. The entire group let out collective curses, including Aggie. [/QUOTE]
