Revision as of 00:00, 24 June 2013
Looting the Toll Booth
- While all the stuff is sorted out, Byll goes off and scouts around
- He comes back with a hobgoblin at crossbow-point
- Much wondering and confusion happens.
- It comes out that her name is Gub, she speaks Ubrekti and Goblin (
- Byll also speaks Goblin, which is how he has spoken to her before now. He is shocked that she speaks Ubrekti.
- She says she is on a quest to find a red door. Well, kind of. It is esoteric and complicated.
- Byll is carrying her bow and arrows. Thurmin admires the craftsmanship (certainly not Hobgoblin make) and so Byll gives Thurmin the gear.
- Other than the bow, the hobgoblin's only possessions were ratty old robes and underclothes. (Maybe?)
- She likes blood. Yum.
- It comes out that her name is Gub, she speaks Ubrekti and Goblin (
The Roadhouse
- They continue on the path and find a small guardhouse at the turn of the road, collapsed from time and callamaty. A fire burns within...
- It is occupied! Thurmin hands Gub her bow and tells Byll he can "take care" of her if she turns out to be dangerous
- Thurmin and Uhanimara "sneak" up to the roadhouse. They are crappy at it, and stuff starts happening after a good enough check from the roadhouse residents.
- Very large, one-eyed ogre with a beard pops out ("Gramps"). Two juveniles pop out just after ("Thelma" and "Henderson")
- One unusually high HP ogre and two slightly gimped HP ogres.
- Uhanimara webs the entrance, keeps Thelma and Henderson from being too active and delays Gramps's charge just long enough for the Dwarves to hustle their asses on the front line.
- The Dwarves thought this "sneaking up" was a bad idea all along, for the record.
- Slugging and shooting happens. Gub gets crap for rolls and misses a bunch. Brunnar dodges swing after swing with the grace of a gazelle. Drem gets swatted on the first hit (Thelma hits hard!) and has to step back for several rounds of recovery
- Byll is as deadly as usual, and provides some helpful sneak attack damage when he finally gets in range, and Brunnar lands solid hits.
- Brunnar gets a clutch stop with his new feat, stymieing Gramps and Henderson for a round and saving Uhanimara a week-ruining amount of damage.
- Uhanimara vomits up spiders. Groooooooss. But it keeps Henderson out of the fight entirely for one turn, and applies damage for several.
- Thurmin never gets a chance to follow up on the Spider Vomit Incident, on account of what happens next...
- Gramps goes down to a Byll bluff/Sneak Attack combo, then Thelma to some stacked damage the next round, and finally Henderson. He is able to land one more solid blow before it happens, and Uhanimara goes from perfectly healty to almost dead (-8 of -10) in one shot. (Which Thurmin quickly stabilizes, since Feantari already has the -9 Achievement!)
- Post-Murder looting commences. There is a stew in the pot of an obvious humanoid. Nobody but Gub is interested. The party dumps the cannibal cauldron and Uhanimara cooks some Wheat Ghoulash from the Ogre Toll Booth supplies.
- She probably eats some, though
- Party sleeps (Byll goes off by his lonesome like usual, this time climbing the stairs of the ruined tower and sleeping/watching from above)
The CITY
- They continue. Uhanimara uses her Geography knowledge to point out that an approach via the hill to the West might be prudent
- They find a burned-out manor with a great view. Unfortunately, it is foggy
- Byll does some preliminary scouting. He can't see much, but does see a half-assed senry
- They formulate a plan: Thurmin and the Dwarves will consolidate a position at the top of the hill, and watch for the pattern of movement at the gate. Byll and Gub will approach that gate, and if it looks likely, Gub will infiltrate. Uhanimara will do something I don't remember.
Rewards
- Ogres:
- 480 xp (240/240 for Thurmin/Kib)
- 500 gp
- 25 pp
- A silver whistle
- A silver holy symbol
- A masterwork saddle for some huge beast
- (50/50) bonus XP -- Thurmin for remembering Comprehend Languages
- 1000 plot XP (500/500 for Thurmin/Kib): Finding the city
- 100 bonus XP for... Gub I think? For great RP
- Brunnar gets the "Kill an Ogre" achievement
