02 Hunting Gobbos!

Apr 1, 2019 7:33 am

The goblins steps falter as Jabari's blade slashes across it's mid section. Holding its hands across its gut it appears about to say something as Khurza's axe neatly removes it's head from it's shoulders.

Pomin rounds a bend to head it off but can see his two companions panting and staring down at the goblin corpse a short distance away. It appears that even despite the commotion there are no other goblins rushing to your position.

Jabari gives Khurza a grin. "He was dead before you even took a swing." He wipes the dagger on the goblin's tunic, stands, and puts the blade in his belt. "Don't think he would have been much use to us anymore—with or without the head."

OOC:

Seems we've lost c_beck? Any word from him?

"Damned fool. One less to worry about I suppose." Khurza almost feels regret at this outcome, feeling on edge. "We should move, sooner or later the rest will realize some of their troops are missing."

OOC:

Judging by his profile he's been MIA for a month now, mcneils been going through hell with this game.

Pomin's short legs eventually have him catching up to the others pointing at a path that delves off the main train to get to the camps in a more round about way.

"Least we know to look for patrols..." Pomin states moving through knowing he'll be overtaken soon by strides.

"Agreed, let's get a move on. I'll follow your lead; I came late and missed the interrogation."

Yeah I'm going to give them another week or so to see if they return but for now lets assume that Aya went with Abadai and Nya for now. I've found in most of the games I've run on here it takes a bit to get a solid group who are going to stick with the game, was a shame Marithyme dropped out but they at least discussed it with me first and I get why they needed to....as for the others, well, it is a tad annoying when people drop out without so much as a word but it is what it is :)

Gathering yourselves you part ways with Abadai, Aya and Nya, them heading directly away from what believe is the goblin camp. Moving carefully you pick your way along being especially wary for further scouts before you find yourselves in a dip in the terrain, beginning to smell a particularly strong smoke scent coming from nearby as the sun is beginning to sink below the horizon. Listening you catch the rough sound of goblin voices in the near distance.

OOC:

You've followed a dip in the terrain for some distance (you think it may have once been a river bed) but that is petering out ahead of you all. What's your next move?

Pomin makes note of the landmarks around to look at a map when they get back.

"So lets dip around if we can unnoticed and check out where the main deb is..." Pomin suggests in a whisper to the rest.

"Yes, but let's listen for just a moment…"

OOC:

Can we make out anything the goblins are saying? Do the voices sound particularly raucous? Subdued? Cautious? Angry? (Let me know if a check—Perception? Adventuring?—is called for.

OOC:

Their dialect is pretty rough so it's a bit tricky picking out what they're going on about. Lets make it an Average Perception test with a boost die as the goblins aren't making any effort to keep quiet

"Sounds like nonsense to me." Khurza says rather confidently, not actually bothering to listen closely.

OOC:

My perception is not ideal, I don't think I'll roll unless we really need it.

Apr 8, 2019 12:29 am

OOC:

If Pomin would listen, he should roll. Jabari will provided unskilled assistance (another boost) if McNeils doesn't overrule it. If Pomin wouldn't try to listen in, Jabari can roll alone.

Apr 8, 2019 12:47 pm

Pomin listens from their vantage.

OOC:

Unsure if Dungeoneering would void a threat in this situation to identify/avoid/notice threat.

Rolls

Avg Per Check

2 Success, 2 Advantage, 2 Threat

Total: 2 Success

Extra die

1 Success, 2 Advantage

Total: 1 Success, 2 Advantage

OOC:

Should be at least 1 boost on that roll per McNeil's comments about the goblins not being too careful. 2 boosts if Jabari's help can count as assistance.

OOC:

Yeah you can add two boost dice to the check (one as previously mentioned and the other for Jabari listening in too) - for every success you can ask a question (such as do they sound angry/agitated, are there any other voices, etc) or just leave it with me to drop some general facts that you pick up

OOC:

I'll recover some strain and get the group's size, current morale, and something interesting for the three successes.

Keeping quiet and your ears peeled you pick out maybe a dozen voices but the number seems to increase slightly as you are listening, perhaps as some of them begin to wake up. All of the voices seeming quite excitable but not aggressive or angry, occasionally a deeper, louder voice cuts through the air and quietens them for a moment before they slowly begin to get wound up again.

"Looks like they were mostly down and are getting up, only one in charge there enough to shut up a dozen or so goblins from their normal antics. Curious who the Matriarch has out here maybe the aforementioned 'Longbeard'." Pomin lets the others know in a whisper. "Maybe we can look for a vantage on the way higher up where we can see the leader and take charge."

Apr 12, 2019 2:21 pm

"Agreed. Let's make for higher ground and get a bit closer."
