We be Goblins! - IC

[kinem]

Seeing Mogmurch taking the legs, Chuffy comments "Not Lotlegs any more!"

There's no spider stash in the immediate area. There are webs in and between various trees, though. If it's all the work of the same spider, there could be a lair some distance away. You might find her lair if you search the whole area; then again, if it's not the work of the same spider ...

 

[Krug]

Poog looks at the webs. "Oh.. I hear these burn pretty.." he says. His toad, Dogfinder, lets out a wary burping sound. He tries to set the webs alight with his burning hands spell, snickering to himself in delight in anticipation of the blaze..

 

[Kaodi]

Stumpbiter may be dumb as a... stump, but he is at least wise enough not to get himself tangled up in any more webs. He pulls out his broken trident and uses it to clear away webs as they search for the spider's treasure.

 

[Rhun]

His work with the spider done, Mogmurch turns to help his companions search for the spider's lair.

 

[kinem]

The webs burn with a delightful crackle.

After a long search, about 200 feet directly south of the creek you find a deadfall of several old trees. Scattered amid the trees are dozens of bodies, some of which are goblins, but a few of which are humans.

 

[Rhun]

Mormurch finds a nice long branch, and uses it to start poking the bodies before anyone can investigate closer.

 

[Krug]

Poog claps happily. "BURN! BURN!" Poog approaches the bodies cautiously, poking at them with a stick. He tries to see if he can figure out what killed the bodies. If they don't jump up to attack he'll start searching them.

 

[kinem]

The bodies seem to have been sucked dry, and have spider bites on them.

They don't jump up or attack.

You find the following items among the bodies:

24 gp
a small light crossbow with 11 bolts
a pearl
4 potions
a wax-paper-sealed package containing six pieces of licorice-flavored taffy

 

[Krug]

Poog screeches with joy at the gold coins. "Ah nice gold..." he says.

He tries to identify the potions, dipping his finger into each and taking a little taste..

 

[Rhun]

Mogmurch picks up the crossbow while Poog is investigating the potions, and smiles wickedly. "Me like!" He points it at a tree, and fake-fires the weapon. "Pow! Dead! Pow! Dead!"
