We be Goblins! - IC

The most interesting thing in the room that Stumpbiter finds may be what's in the bloody burlap sack: You recognize Scribbleface's uniquely branded face. Much of his body is in there too, though his left arm and heart are currently stewing in the cauldron. His hideous fate should serve as yet further proof that writing words can, in the end, only bring you bad luck—or worse!

There can be no doubt that this is the work of Vorka the cannibal.

There is nothing of value in the room, at least by longshanks' standards, though you goblins may have your own ideas of value and there are goblin bones and dead animals.

Outside, there is no other shelter in the immediate vicinity of the ship, but if you head though the swamp you can find some trees.

The coast may beckon as well, as the seashore is close enough that you can faintly hear the waves.

"Oh poor Scribbleface. Your face will no longer be scribbled," says Poog. He says some prayer to the goblin gods for his fallen companion. A thought comes to him and he turns to his companion.

"Something things goblin meat is tasty," he whispers, eyes looking around the room. Suddenly this adventure is making him feel less adventurous..

He suggests going to the swamp to rest up.

Stumpbiter nods sagely (for a goblin). He empties out the burlap sack, except for Scribbleface's... face. " Tribe might want proof. Let's get outta here quick. "

"Vorka," states Mormurch. "Probably in room below. We should bites off her fingers!"

 

[Kaodi]

Stumpbiter blinks. " If you think so, " he grumbles. The burly goblin is feeling significantly less burly without with spider juice in his veins and bloodlust drained.

Nevertheless, he leads the other goblins out of the cabin and to the other end of the ruined ship to look for the way down into the guts of it.

ooc: Unless I missed something, Stumpbiter is at 10/14 hp.

There is one visible door you have not yet explored on the ship: The main cabin door, decorated by a large number of rodent and bird skulls.

As you stare at it, the door bursts open!

Out steps a goblin of frightening appearance. Her mouth is her most fearsome feature — it's a bit too wide, even by goblin standards, and sports a snaggletoothed grin of mismatched teeth that leaves little doubt as to her preference for tough, stringy meat. She wears rags and bits of stained cloth over her equally patchwork leather armor. On her head is perched a floppy, pointy leather hat.

A giant toad - larger than a goblin - bounds out past her. "Get 'em, Lord Longtongue!" she calls out to the toad, as she brings a lit Desnan candle to bear, shooting a flaming candle from the foot-long tube at Stumpbiter!

The candle strikes Stumpbiter in the face, hurting and blinding him! (ooc: 2 damage)

" Aaagh! " screams Stumpbiter in pain, franticly trying to wipe the burning cinders from his eyes as he waves the Gorge in front of him in a defencive manoeuver.

OOC: Just to be a clear, since I see I also made a serious typo in my previous post, when I said Stumpbiter felt drained it was not because he was low on hit points, but because his strength was going to suck for the rest of the day.

"DIE VORKA GOBLIN EATER!" cries Mogmurch, stepping backward and hurling a bomb toward the foul cannibal.

Bomb vrs Vorka, 1d6+2 fire damage (DC12), attack +6

3 damage? Seriously?

 

[Krug]

"Die you foul creature!" Poog screams, and hurls a javelin at the goblin. Poog can't stop staring at its teeth.

 

[kinem]

Chuffy screams "Die, Froggy!", draws his dogslicer, and attacks the giant toad, but his blade slides harmlessly along its tough hide.

Having attracted its attention, the creature tries to bite him, but misses.

"What do we have here? A tasty roast, almost ready to stuff!" Vorka declares, launching another flaming candle at Stumpbiter, but it misses as he is able to dodge it.
