Strahd's Goblinoid mini campaign "Yar Gock

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

A day pass and nothing out of the ordinary happens until noon. That is when orders begin to flow from the Mogur's lair. It seems that the high command is planning a raid versus several human farms that are located a half day trail from the village of Ardeche. The Mogur decides to lead the raiding party. He takes Suxm as his spell caster, leaving crazy Tok Razul and his Ogre to rule the caves. All the Hobgoblins mercenaries, two bugbears, the super elite guards and several other lesser male warriors join the hopefully successful pillage.

Sadly, you haven't been chosen to participate in the glorified adventure, At the command of Tok Razul (And the intimidating fists of the Ogre) you are signed to help with the guarding of the slaves, and the two exits during the approaching night, the day to come and the next night until the raiding party returns.

"Can I play with the slaves?" Ciki whispers to Nerrak after the ogre has left them with the commands of Tok Razul.

Nerrak shrugs. "Don't care. Maybe ask Mek?" he replies, indicating the brutish bugbear. "He usually in charge of slaves." Then the witchdoctor goes back to brooding about not being included in the raid. He had, after all, slain the giant centipede during their search for the red rock, therby saving his companions and ensuring the mission's success. Oh, well...such were the vagaries of life in a goblin tribe.

Screech - Main Hall

"Where... am... I... needed?" Screech asks, croaking. "Slaves... would... be... a... good... audience."

Taz will be doing his best to stay out of sight, especially knowing he might have bothered Mek, and with most goblins gone, this would be a good chance for the bugbear to take him out.

Mek (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Mek wakes crankily when all the commotion and orders are being thrown about.


The bugbear would definitely prefer to be hunting the huumans, at least they are some sport, but for now he is content to rest while guarding the slaves.

*If some of you want a reminder of the cave's layout, check the RG thread, you should know your home base perfectly and how to use it for your advantage.

Lack of goblin warrior to guard and fate wished that some of you guard together the main entrance during the hours before sunrise. Nerrak, Ur'nagi, Taz and Screech are among those "lucky ones" that guard this shift.
The guarding area (#12) is called "The Flint pit". it is another excavation site left behind by the long-vanished miners of the caves. This pot is bell-shaped, being wider at the bottom that the top, it is about 12 feet high, you guard the bottom, but when dangerous arrive you can quickly climb up the knobby sides to the narrow top. It was used last time, when a pack of wild dogs sniffed around and attacked the goblin guards.

Insane Ciki found herself a sleeping place not far from the weeping wall. Why? No one knows, but she is mad so no one really cares.

It's Mek's shift in the slave's den. The two kobolds (blue circles), the dwarf (Brown), and the wounded bugbear (orange) are all asleep. Morning is about to arrive and duties needs to be done.

First rays of light, the sun is raising and we are back to the guarding post where Taz, Screech, Nerrak and Ur'nagi are:
Something is strange, you all go silence as you here a faint sound coming from the outside, a clattering voice of something, metal of some sort. Whoever he is or whatever it is, it having trouble to keep himself quiet.

Hearing the noises Taz looks over at Nerrak "Nerrak, youse hear dat? Sometin's coming dis way? Whats we do? You wants me to go find out whats it is? I can be real sneaky-like you know? Should we go gets Mek or wakes up Ciki?" Taz pauses while catching his breath after the barrage of whispered questions to the ranking member of the tribe.

Taz'll load his crossbow and have it ready should he see an enemy before they decide on an action plan.

Nerrak nods at Taz. "Go," he says quietly. "Be sneaky. See who comes." With that, the witchdoctor readies his shortspear and shield.
