Rothuss Carder: is still a bit woozy from his concussion in the barfight, even though it was treated and cured, he's finally acting more like himself and less out of it.

Rothuss Carder: What's going oni?

Rothuss Carder: Are we hiding from the cops?

Levi Reed: Shhh, what if the cupacabra hears you?

Rothuss Carder: whispers, "The what?"

Ratbone Carder: Rumors say it is a Chupacabra.

Ratbone Carder: But footprints say it's something a little more ordinary

Levi Reed: Rabbit with antlers.

Rothuss Carder: frowns in thought.

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, what she said.

Ratbone Carder: strum strum strum

Ratbone Carder: (singing) i should have SUNG all this expoSI-shun!

Levi Reed: Give the man a torch and he sees for a day. TEACH a man to torch...

Matthias Crowtooth: Light a man with torch... and he sees for his entire life.

Rothuss Carder: whispers, "Aha, Ratbone! You've found us a traveling troupe of comedians. Excellent camouflage!"

Matthias Crowtooth: Goblins ahead

Jericho: Goblins?

Vee Barlett: whispers, "Oh, nice. They stab well."

Jericho: I thought we were tracking a Chupacrabra!

Vee Barlett: Goblins, it looks like.

Rothuss Carder: Not chupacabra?

Vee Barlett: points to the goblin corpse by her foot

Vee Barlett: Don't trip.

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 3] [d20-1 = 19]

BOB Rothus remembers lots of stories about short mountain men who infest the hills and kills large swathes of sheep and goats and devour children

Rothuss Carder: dips his torch down low to get a good view of the goblin corpse, and to makes sure Ratbone can see it too.

Vee Barlett: Looks like more for you to look at, Levi!

Vee Barlett: You missed one, Matthias. Good thing I'm here.

Matthias Crowtooth: Whatever would I do without you...?

Vee Barlett: Easily be a lost little fish at sea!

MeLange: no more goblins?

Matthias Crowtooth: laughs

Vee Barlett: Dunno. What's up there?

BOB You do not see any

Vee Barlett: holds torch a little higher

MeLange: well let's find out then

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I hope this cave opens up soon. I haven't even had a chance to show off my machete skills

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Down low, too slow! Gotta catch up, man. I looted a body AND killed one!

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: You have your silly pointy stick though, that isn't fair.

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: It is a TRIDENT. A proper weapon. Something that properly stabs things!

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Excuse you. Mr. and Mr. Stabby Machete both stab things JUST FINE

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Do they? I thought you just sliced and diced with those things. So... landbased.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Slicing, dicing, stabbing... it's all the same.

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: No finess. A sloppy as your drinking.

Rothuss Carder: moves up behind Levi, holding his torch up high

Matthias Crowtooth: lights another torch

Ratbone Carder: quiety singing creepity creep creep

BOB The caves turn but continue to go down deeper

Matthias Crowtooth: shifts his big butt so Vee can get past

BOB Jericho (and Ava) are still outside of the caves

Jericho: Uh oh

Jericho: Up

Jericho: No

Jericho: Turns and Vomits

Jericho: I think

Jericho: He's dead

Jericho: Upchucks again

Vee Barlett: mutters, "Sounds like someone needs to get a priest for the priest."

MeLange: Goblin

-> MeLange: Mel sees the stream there crossing the path, and then on the other side a goblin that is grey skin, not healthy and moving very slowly

MeLange: Hold up, this goblin seems different, perhaps we could talk to him

MeLange: anybody speak goblin?

Matthias Crowtooth: My sword does

Vee Barlett: Maybe it speaks Common?

MeLange: 2nd goblin, keep your guard up, but let's see if we can talk

MeLange tries to initiate conversation with the grey goblin

-> Rothuss Carder: Grey Skinned Goblin does not sound normal

Rothuss Carder: carefully steps over the next body and moves forward.

Rothuss Carder: What did it say? It sounded weird.

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: I thought you wanted to slice and dice. Why you hiding behind me?

Ratbone Carder: (singing) let's ... step ... gingerly. around ... the ... dead ... bodeeees

Matthias Crowtooth: looks over at Ratbone in surprise and laughs

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I kind of want to get that uptight priest up here

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Is that who I heard hurling? I thought I heard hurling.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Probably

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: He might stay at the entrance. Maybe bring him back a head as a trophy?

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Ha! I like the way you think

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: And that's why we're friends.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I mean, also my charm and my great company, but sure

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: .....yeahhhhh sure.......

Goblin (Colossal) : [Translation] Siiiigggggghhhhh

BOB So that you understand, Mel is up front, there is a stream and on the other side of the stream there are two grey skinned goblins that are moving very slowly

Vee Barlett: Ho! Any of you speak Common?

Matthias Crowtooth: I do!

Vee Barlett: sighs

Vee Barlett: This whole time? And you didn't tell me??

Matthias Crowtooth: You never asked!

Vee Barlett: Ugh, well next time I will!

Matthias Crowtooth: And when that happens, I will say, "Yes, I speak Common!"

Vee Barlett: I'm guessing you don't speak Goblin, do you? Any of you?

Rothuss Carder: Nah.

MeLange: no maam

Vee Barlett: And none of them are responding to Common?

Vee Barlett: Try again maybe, Mel?

MeLange: I could try, but if we're not speaking the same language...

MeLange: there's a stream between us

Ratbone Carder: No Goblin, sorry

Vee Barlett: Hmmm....

BOB To the north that passage looks like it ends in a short bit, there seems to be a pool of water along with the colorful fungi along the floor and walls

MeLange waves

MeLange: hellooo

-> MeLange: Mel can see that the goblins across the stream are grey, sickly skin, slow moving, not seeming to be aware of him on the that side of the stream

MeLange: Alrigh these guys are dazed or sick or something, they don't pose much of a threat for now at least

Vee Barlett: So we need a priest?

MeLange: they need a doctor

Vee Barlett: I don't want whatever they caught.

MeLange: we can continue along the stream

MeLange: or try to help them

MeLange: whispers to all

MeLange: or kill them

Jericho: I can't see anything

Jericho: So I have no idea what's wrong

MeLange: well get up here then

Jericho: Sighs

Jericho: Make way

Jericho: Squeezes

MeLange: there you go your majesty

MeLange: moves up to get a better view of the surroundings

BOB Matt moves up to the stream

BOB So making sure everyone including Angelica who just showed up understands where you are

BOB Your two fighters are up front at the stream

BOB they have two grey skinned goblins on the other side of the stream, they have not moved forward, etc. to seem to notice your group

BOB and so we are back to Matt moving up to next to Mel at the edge of the stream and then Ryan clicking done

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Spelunking [MOD:INT] [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 2] [d20-1 = 9]

BOB Levi looks around and thinks, This is a normal cave, nothing special about it

Rothuss Carder: Want me to try talking at 'em?

Vee Barlett: Might as well.

Vee Barlett: Maybe sing a lil' song or something? I don't know. Do goblins like songs?

Rothuss Carder: shrugs.

Rothuss Carder: Not a clue what to sing to 'em anyways.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I bet we could eat these mushrooms

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: You do know bright colors usually mean things are poisonous, right?

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: You're right. Mr. Dr. Man is VERY bright and also extremely poisionous. Good point.

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Exactly!

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: And I don't mean bright in the smart way

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Like, I can see him glowing from around the corner here

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Do you think maybe he ate one? That's why he's hurling?

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I mean, normally I just assume too much drinking... but with that one... I don't know. Maybe a light glistened off a strem and hurt his eye

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: He really doesn't leave that church much does he? He'd never last on sea. First wave and HURL.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: And he says he wants a boat

Levi Reed: chuckles quietly

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Not just a boat. A fleet! Which is already ridiculous. I don't go to sea to be near others. Just want my own boat to sail away.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Until you start to miss me

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Nah. If you're going to make me go SPERLUNKING of all things, I'm dragging you with me. Eye for an eye, buddy.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Hey, I didn't invite you

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: You did. Because we both know you can't take care of yourself and you need me here to save you.

Matthias Crowtooth: I know that some dwarves like to sing songs about breaking halflings' dishes or some sort.

Matthias Crowtooth: Maybe goblins are the same...?

Vee Barlett: Who likes what?

Ratbone Carder: withering glance at her brother

Rothuss Carder: steps forward to behind the fighters.

Matthias Crowtooth: Baggins or something.

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: Watch my back, wouldja?

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: You got it, snotface. :-)

Rothuss Carder: mentally reviews the sounds he heard from the goblins earlier, and tries to reproduce them as exactly as he can.

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Voice Mimicry [2] [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]

BOB Rothuss manages to accurately mimic the sounds of the other goblins he heard

BOB Not that he knows what he is saying but he can repeat it

BOB From Rothuss to the other goblins

<font color="#000000">GM : [Translation] Hello, my name is Bright Feathers, you killed my father, prepare to die

Ratbone Carder: (singing softly) Rothus the intrepid. He's gonna try some weird words. Like maybe tiered curds. Because HE DON'T KNOW what they mean! Hmm hmm hmm?

BOB From Rothuss to the other goblins

Ava Bosley: [CHECK] Intelligence [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20-1 = 18]

BOB So Ava feels a chill, spots a shadow lurking on the hillside above the cave, and she DUCKS inside of the cave out of instinct

BOB Jericho is there at the end of the line of the rest of the group

Ava Bosley: runs blindly into the cave and bumps into Jericho

Ava Bosley: Oh! I'm so sorry... I just-

Ava Bosley: to Jericho

Ava Bosley: Why have you all stopped?

Ratbone Carder: (singing) watching his back, yes i am

Ratbone Carder: (singing) watching his back, heck yeah, yes ma'am

BOB No acknowledgement from the grey skinned goblins on the other side of the stream that you exist

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20-1 = 8]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20-1 = 5]

Vee Barlett: looking at the mushrooms closer

-> Vee Barlett: Vee can tell that here was at least one man sized creature dragged through here, and that the walls of this cave have some sort of fungus on them

-> Vee Barlett: Vee can tell that here was at least one man sized creature dragged through here, and that the walls of this cave have some sort of fungus on them

Jericho: Whispering to Ava "I have no idea. I think there is something up ahead. I'm moving up to see what is medically wrong. It sounds like there is a question about some poison or fungus?

Ava Bosley: Did someone get poisoned?

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: You know as much as I do

Vee Barlett: All these land things look alike....

Jericho: These caves are so damn narrow I can't see a thing and only hear odd inflections from voices

Vee Barlett: But someone WAS dragged through here so we're on the right track...

Ava Bosley: Oh... uhm. I believe I should tell you - I saw a dark shape by the entrance.

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: At least I didn't make it worse, eh?

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: Nopes, they didn't take it as an insult or anything.

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: I was hoping they'd take it as an invitation to start talking or something.

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: Same, it looked like a great idea.

Vee Barlett: But really, this fungus look weird to anyone? Or is it just my sea-eyes? Ay?

Ratbone Carder: Definitely looks weird

Jericho: Just so everyone is aware, Ava says there is a shape out front the cave

Jericho: We may have visitors

Matthias Crowtooth: So.... we aren't fighting them?

Vee Barlett: Kill them? They may move slow, but they still trying to kill you, ya?

Ratbone Carder: PerPLEXion!

Levi Reed: Well if those aren't a threat, we should maybe check out this shadow thing first?

Ratbone Carder: I dunno, I don't know!

Matthias Crowtooth: shrugs but keeps his eyes on the goblins

Ratbone Carder: They could be high?

Vee Barlett: Maybe they ate the mushrooms.

Vee Barlett: side eyes Levi

Ratbone Carder: nodding

Lirtimya: Maybe that's what happens if you eat these mushrooms?

Levi Reed: See! I told you we could eat them!

Rothuss Carder: Mebbe they're not goblins?

Vee Barlett: No dimwit. You become gray goblins. Or goblin-like! I don't know which it is. They're up there.

Rothuss Carder: I mean, they look a bit different.

Vee Barlett: See? Lirth gets it. You eat them, you become grey.

Levi Reed: mumbling "They're probably just happy"

Vee Barlett: Maybe even GRAY!

Vee Barlett: You can't pull off grey locks yet.

Levi Reed: I can pull of anything I want to!

Vee Barlett: Yeah? Pull off this.

Vee Barlett: rude gesture

Levi Reed: laughs

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: How did we wind up with this bunch again?

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: I think Auntie Bell cursed us, after the uh you know

Rothuss Carder: considers it for a moment, then shrugs.

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: I didn't think she was that mad at us.

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: Oh Auntie Coca probably bullied her into it. SHE was definitely that mad at us.

Rothuss Carder -> Ratbone Carder: Auntie Coca is always mad at everyone, including Auntie Bell.

Ratbone Carder -> Rothuss Carder: Fair, yeah that's fair, mon frere

Rothuss Carder: Alright. I'm gonna try that again.

Rothuss Carder: mimcs the sounds again, then gestures at himself and says "Rothuss"

Rothuss Carder: moves to where they can see him

BOB There is no indication that they are paying attention to Rothuss

Rothuss Carder: thinks about it

Ava Bosley: *loudly whispers* Jericho! Wait-

Ava Bosley: Oh, hello Levi!

Ava Bosley: There was a dark shadow by the entrance so I ran in

Levi Reed: Good! It's probably just a wild animal but you never know

Ava Bosley: Should we stay here or do they need us farther down the cave?

Rothuss Carder: Rothuss is going to spend the time until his next turn making sure these are actually living things and not just statues

Levi Reed: You might want to go ahead a little bit, see if you can cure those goblins they're trying to figure out. I'll keep guard

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]

BOB So Rothuss determines that these are real moving goblins, grey skin and very slow movement not withstanding

Ava Bosley: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 12]

BOB Ava determines that this fungus is not harmful, it can be used as food, but has no special properties

Ava Bosley: Alright. Uhm, please be careful, Levi. All my instincts told me to run. Bad omens...

Ratbone Carder: (softly singing) I'm getting out the WAYayayay. So you can GET AROUND in a CAVE today. Getting OUT the WAY!

Matthias Crowtooth: sharpens his blade

Lirtimya: is standing against the wall, staying out of the way

Vee Barlett: Anything over there Levi? I can't see what's up front 'til Dr Priest Dude Man moves outta the way.

Jericho: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 17] [d20 = 2]

-> Jericho: Jericho looks at the grey skinned gobins, and realizes that they are Undead, zombie goblins,

Jericho: Um

Jericho: Those are dead

Jericho: Those are zombies

Jericho: You can kill them

Rothuss Carder: Nah, they're still moving!

Matthias Crowtooth: Oh, so we can kill them without guilt

Jericho: Disgues evident

Ratbone Carder: oh HELL noOOoo

Vee Barlett: Was it with guilt before?

Jericho: You could kill them without guilt to begin with Matthias

Jericho: Smiles a rare smile at Vee

Matthias Crowtooth: I... didn't expect to hear that from you, but I'm not going to complain.

Vee Barlett: Just hush and stab, Matty!

MeLange: are you sure you won't catch anything if you get too close?

Jericho: Shakes head

Jericho: Stabbing undead is less effective, I would bludgeon them

Vee Barlett: Set them on fire...?

BOB Mel is behind the three of them at the stream and cannot get past them

BOB At this point you know that you have undead zombie goblins on the other side of the stream

Matthias Crowtooth: [CHECK] Intelligence [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20-1 = 9]

BOB So Matthias realizes that the zombie goblins have not done anything yet, because no one has crossed the stream

BOB the stream is about 5 to 8 foot across

Matthias Crowtooth: I think they may be sentries. They aren't moving because no one has crossed the stream.

Vee Barlett: How wide is the stream? Maybe I can stab them from this side.

BOB and one last bit for Rothuss can make a hear noise check

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 20) [SUCCESS by 15] [d100 = 5]

BOB and Rothuss can tell Matt (and Jericho) that he hears a human groan, like in pain from somewhere past that portion of the caves on the other side of the stream

Rothuss Carder: There's someone over there. Sounds hurt.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So torches now: Ratbone, Rothuss, and Vee.
