Confrontation with the Goblin
00:00:00
Speaker
Alpha is going to determine and leave that's not a word very determined walk up. Alpha is going to walk up determined towards this goblin. I don't care. What the fuck is going on? I don't know grammar.
Introduction to Eryth and Characters
00:00:45
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of The Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum Draconis. We are a live play 5e D&D podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of Eryth in the Kingdom of Sleetguard. My name is Mark. And I am the Dungeon Master. And also with us for this week's episode, we have Ian who plays the Tiefling Warlock, Nyx Corral. Flash! We've got Callum who plays the Warforged Artificer, Alpha.
00:01:15
Speaker
We've got Danny who plays the half-orc monk to Broken Tusk. And we have Will who plays the halfling divination wizard, Old Gale.
00:01:28
Speaker
Beautiful. Such a nice crowd. Sorry, I bailed. That's right, I didn't know what you were going to go with it. You're a barrel. I did not. You're a barrel. I didn't know the words. It's like, get the fuck out of there. I saw your face will just go, fuck, what is it? What is it? What is it? What are they doing? They can do the art part. Frustratingly googling the lyrics. It's like, come on, quick, quick, quick.
00:01:51
Speaker
I would love to embarrass myself on the podcast. We were all screwed as a D&D podcast. If you did not come to me second, I would have literally been, I have no idea. Always come to me first because I'm going to come up with some weird ass song lyrics now. That's why I got you at the top of the list, man. That's why you're at the top of the list. Appreciate it.
00:02:15
Speaker
We've got a slightly different mix up this time. Of course, our roost consultant and reigns are out of the picture for now. They've gone across two gold for you to have a little jaunt in town there. And we'll have stepped in to fill in the wonderfully old purple sandals, actually, the sandals of old Gale, who's joined us on this little adventure to the goblins over at the Mergore estate. But before I get into that, we should really pass over to our chronicler to find out what happened on last week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop.
Mission Briefing at Goldport Keep
00:02:43
Speaker
In the last few pages of our adventure, Nix, Morota, and Alpha are put to task of dealing with the goblin nuisance plaguing Goldport Keep. Heading eastward into the Goldview Moors, the half-party encourage Alpha to let his proverbial hair down now that his fathers are away. Nix and Morota mentor the young automaton, helping him enable his fury, which triggered a phenomenon Nix has coined, Beast Mode.
00:03:12
Speaker
While travelling, the group stumble upon an abandoned shack, concealed within, however, a being short in stature but large in character.
Old Gel's Request for Help
00:03:21
Speaker
The future past and present teller known as Old Gel, who has been watching the party for some time, asks for their help in recovering his stolen crystal ball from the same band of goblins the party are searching for.
00:03:36
Speaker
At the Murgor estate, the party discover the Runkhclaw goblin clan, and they attempt to draw out the leader by utilising Alpha's beast mode. Alpha's ultimatum? Join us, or die. The tall, slightly taller figure of this goblin that has stepped out.
00:03:58
Speaker
amongst his petrified friends who all stare at Alpha, pistol in hand after the destroyed remains
Escalating Tensions with Goblins
00:04:04
Speaker
of the tent ripples down the wall. Everyone else frozen on the spot, this slightly taller goblin steps out and as I spoke to Alpha about his reasons for being here. And in response, the bead of sweat rolling down his eye, he turns to you, Alpha. His eyes dart to his friends and turn back to you.
00:04:26
Speaker
Christa doesn't take anyone to see leader. Yep, Alpha is going to determinally, that's not a word, very determined walk up to this slightly, oh fuck it. Alpha is going to walk up determined towards his goblin. That's even worse, I don't care. What the fuck is going on? I don't know. My grammar. My grammar go bye bye.
00:04:54
Speaker
I'm going to get within five feet of him and I'm basically going to purposely tower over him at their stage. So I'm going to be looking down at him. I said, you will take me. Roll intimidation, please. I'm rolling well on intimidation. 16. This goblin looks up to you. It's sharp.
00:05:14
Speaker
white and black teeth glaring its yellow eyes staring through its yellowed skin pauldrons on its shoulders short sword in one hand, buckler in the other stares at you eye to eye takes your whole persona in now my eyes got him and he looks
00:05:44
Speaker
but no one moves for a second. I said, get him! The ax will hear of this. They all kind of shuffle out slightly, Morota, and they start to kind of move and start to move slightly. Sorry, Morota, you want to say something? On the call of boys get him, he's getting a boomerang straight in the face. Nice. Okay. All right, roll to hit.
00:06:14
Speaker
I'm going to give you this and then we're going to jump into initiative 17. Yes, that hits. And I'm going to use a new thing I could use called Kent size shot. You can use bonus action on your turn to make a range attack with the cancer weapon deal an extra 1d4 damage. So it's going to take. It's going to take.
00:06:43
Speaker
It's not great. Five points of bludgeoning damage. He comes hitting the side of his head. As he reels from the haters, he comes in. And that's what we're going to get. On the command, saying that Leags will hear of this, they all start to, oh shit, don't want that to happen, and start to kind of ready themselves for combat. Can I please ask of your all-role initiative? Hell yeah.
00:07:11
Speaker
Hot diggity
Initiative and Attack
00:07:12
Speaker
damn. Sorry. Oh shit. No, yeah, that's not good. That's not good All right, did anyone roll 20 plus? No 15 to 20. I Think possibly will has but he's muted Am I right? It's got sorry. Yeah, I got a 16. I've got a nut one But we rolled it for a lucky feet nice. Oh girl. Oh
00:07:40
Speaker
Um, did anyone, uh, 15, 12, I think, was it 10 to 15, sorry? 12 for me. Um, now you two both groaned with derision when you got yours. So what did you both get, Nix and Alpha? Alpha got an eight. Okay. I got one, uh, which plus two is a three. So that is indeed. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Okay.
00:08:09
Speaker
The Garflins get to go first. Sorry, I rolled a natural 20 on their initiative. So a few things are going to happen. They're all kind of interspersed all over the camp. Most of them are armed with an axe in their hand. A few of them have shields in their hands. Two of them have crossbows.
00:08:29
Speaker
and they know you're there now. So they're going to be a bit of a move. They're going to get themselves kind of lined up. The first thing that's going to happen is there are three very close, including Christo, the one that you've been speaking to, Alpha. They're going to move in and kind of engulf you and surround you, three of them. The others are going to know that there's others over because Muratyu threw the boomerang and they're going to start moving towards you as well. This one is like a large crate that could hold some dogs or some creatures within it.
00:08:58
Speaker
There's a goblin on the side of that that's going to move round and approach you, Marota. There's two by the tents. One is holding a crossbow. He's going to run up and jump up onto the log, 10 feet up, and kind of look over towards old Gale and Nyx. There's one right at the corner near the entrance that's going to move into the center of the camp area to decide where to go next.
00:09:20
Speaker
there's a crossbowman to the south hiding behind this the broken statue and he's going to stand just to the side of it so he can see Marota, Olgail and Nyx who are hidden in the trees and there is one final guide to the south standing next to another large empty crate which could hold kind of dogs and things like that that's not going to know what to do he's just kind of be looking from person to person unsure what to do with himself so firstly there's the attack against Marota he's going to swing at you with his axe
00:09:53
Speaker
No, sorry. How can I do maths? Sixteen against your armor class. Hits. Okay, you're going to take one, do six plus two. Six points of slashing damage. Alpha. Firstly, Krestor is going to take a swing at you. That is thirteen against your armor class. Miss. The goblin to the north is going to hit
00:10:20
Speaker
Going to hit you with a 21 against your armor class. Yeah that hits. Sorry that's going to be 8 points of slashing damage. I've got max damage for that. The last one is going to roll 11 against your armor class. Miss. And therefore miss so the one to the north has managed to hit.
00:10:39
Speaker
The two crossbowmen are going to take a shot, take shots over towards where Nyx and Old Gala are. The first one, the one on the log is going to aim for Old Gala to begin with. That's a 14 against your armor class. Yeah, that hits. And you're going to show me three points of piercing damage and Nyx
00:10:59
Speaker
19 against your armor class. You know that hit? So I'm rolling well with these. They're all weaker shit though. Come out at four points of piercing damage as these two bolts come thudding in. That is the end of the goblin's turn.
Owl's Acid Attack and Aggressive Strategies
00:11:14
Speaker
Over to Old Gale. Okay, Old Gale is going to, upon taking this kind of bolt, obviously recoil a little bit, grab a hoot, his snowy owl off his head,
00:11:28
Speaker
and just say, it's time to fly! And he's gonna cast, as a bonus action, Dragon's Breath on a hoot. And he's gonna choose Acid Damage. And he is going to launch a hoot over to the west. Being a familiar, I think he takes his action on a different turn, so he'll take the rest of his action to probably try and
00:11:56
Speaker
Does he have a clear line of sight on the nasty pasty? The one that took a shot against you previously? Yeah. Yeah. Why not? You've got, actually you've got clear line of sight on both of the kind of, uh, crossbowmen. Okay. Um, what he'll do then is take cover if you wanted to. Uh, yeah, actually, do you know what? Yeah. I'm going to take the Dodge action, uh, and just kind of,
00:12:25
Speaker
run further away from this tree and probably hide myself. Let's just see how far I can go about 30. Oh no, I can only go 25 feet.
00:12:32
Speaker
Into the woodland just to the south of my position to try and get a better Away from other people try and hide a little bit more and see if I can get a bit more of a vantage point on what's going on nice and do we need a initiative role for a Hoot so I'm more than happy to roll you on Is that is that what we do with the familiar? I can't I don't know. I don't know whether it'll go I don't just have it goes straight after will or all its own Furies we just say it goes directly after you will
00:13:02
Speaker
If you're happy to, I'd be more than happy to. Yeah, it might as well make sense to get you all done and done. Awesome. In which case, Ohut has got 60 feet of flying speed and would have been from where I was here. It's sort of under the trees where I initially ran from. He is going to fly the full, how far is it? Sorry, I'll just quickly double check. He's going to fly 34 feet and get right up into the face of the one that's on the log.
00:13:31
Speaker
literally into his face and he is going to release an acid breath.
00:13:39
Speaker
So they all need to make, I say they all, him and if you would deem the two behind them, which I'm going to ping on Roll20 for you, would be within 15 feet of each other. It's a 15 foot cone. Yes, but one of those is Marota. The one on the right is Marota. Whoops. In which case I'd probably try and angle that so that it doesn't hit Marota, if possible, if not then I've done fucked up. I'll let you have that. Is it normally a cone?
00:14:06
Speaker
it is yeah yeah yeah i'll say it's fine you can angle it so that you get the two goblins and avoid marota amazing in which case if they can make a dex saving throw they only need a 13 to pass that's a nine for the first one which will be the crossbow moon and the second one is a 16 okay so one passes one fails the one that fails will take 11 points of acid damage the one that passes will take five instead of
00:14:37
Speaker
Okay, the crossbow goblin. I think I've seen a film where this happens. Basically the acid burns his head like off.
00:14:48
Speaker
It just burns through the face, the skin, the skull. And it just, yeah, I think it might be a sore film, actually. And burns literally his head. It's just headless goblin that stays there for a second. The crossbow drops and it slides down this large log onto the floor dead. The other goblin gets hit with kind of the edge. It's the edge of the cone, so it makes sense and just catches a bit of the spray across its body, which this goblin manages to kind of rub off and pat off, taking a good bit of damage in the process, but it's very badly damaged. It's left arm and left side of its face.
00:15:34
Speaker
space as well.
00:15:34
Speaker
behind the tents, basically just trying to get some form of cover between it and any flying bolts. Very nice. Thank you very much for that. Well, great stuff. Marotta, over to you. You've just seen this goblin directly in front of you, acid spray over it and the goblin to your right is just screamed and then slumped dead. What was that today?
00:15:53
Speaker
I will take, I'll spend a key point to use Step of the Wind so I can use disengage as a bonus action. So I will just bypass the two goblins that are between me and catching up with the three that are surrounding Alpha. And I'm right in thinking, so I'll position myself to the flanking side of the easternmost goblin around Alpha. Is that,
00:16:20
Speaker
uh crease door crease door is on the other side on the left side okay nearest to the tent i'll go for the one that i will get advantage on and i'm just going to sort of use that that full pace sprint uh they disengage and i'm just going to sort of come in with a flying uh uh scorpion kick is it scorpion kick yeah bicycle kick bicycle kick's over the head isn't it
00:16:45
Speaker
The one where you basically just jump up foot first. One leg forward, one leg tucked. That's it. I have no idea. Well, it's like a fly. Okay. Okay. We're going to do that. We're going to do that though. Liu Kang style. Yes. Bless you. As a goblin sneezes. It's got hay fever. Thirteen. Thirteen. Oh, I have advantage. Sorry. One second. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
00:17:16
Speaker
Sixteen. Good, because thirteen would have failed. Sixteen passes. Sixteen hits. Okay. They take three points of bludgeoning damage. Nice. Ow! It says, after sneezing. Mmm. Ow! It actually says... That's my turn. Very nice. Thank you very much. Lovely move there. I think that's alpha. It's all smudged. Yes, alpha.
00:17:45
Speaker
Your turn. I am the smudge. You've just heard a goblin sneeze behind you and then get kicked in the back of head. You're surrounded. At the moment... Yeah. At the moment, I want Krystor alive.
00:17:58
Speaker
So I'm going to turn around to the one that Morote has attacked. You can, sorry to interrupt, sorry to interrupt. You can, if you, as long as you say non-lethal, you can take a creature to zero hit points and it's just knocked out. If you say, if you don't say anything, I'm assuming you're killing everything unless you say I want to, like you said, so you can, you can go for him full strength like normal. And when he hits zero, I consider him unconscious, not dead.
00:18:24
Speaker
No, no, I want him, I want him conscious as well. That's fine. I understand what you're saying. I want him conscious. I want him alive. It's fucking beast mode. You want him to watch as well. Yeah. Oh my God. I know what you're going to do. I know what you're going to do. Yes. Do it. I mean, no, lose. Do it 100%. Go for it. I want it. I think I know what you're doing. That's fucking genius. If you, if you're going to do what I'm thinking, okay, sorry, go ahead.
00:18:46
Speaker
OK, I've got so much pressure now. Mark's got this wonderful idea. I don't know what he wants me to do. I just don't know what I want to do. But yeah, I'm going to turn round to the one that Morota has just hit because I've heard him sneeze and then go out as Morota has clocked in one. And I'm going to withdraw my pistol and
00:19:07
Speaker
basically trying to shoot him directly into the face. I do have disadvantage because I'm within five feet, but I also have advantage because Marotta's on the other side, so cancels each other out. Nice. Cool. Come on, something good. No, I'm really sorry. That was a natural one.
00:19:28
Speaker
How close am I to you? You don't have line of sight. Unfortunately, you've got a statue that's about 15 feet high in front of you. Unfortunately, old girl, love to say that name. Yeah. I know what you're going to do. Sorry. Yeah.
00:19:52
Speaker
So yeah, natural one. Could you please roll another d20? And if it is one to five, it's going to shoot me rotor. For fuck's sake, Callo. I didn't mean to do this. It's what happens when you get angry.
00:20:09
Speaker
It's a 14. I think I said it's a 4. Absolutely fine. The shot just corrals up. As you go to shoot, the goblin knocks your hand up and shoots him up into the air. You're in close range anyway, so he can touch you like that. Not in a perfect way. He'll touch you like this. And I shoot you like that. And then my, my owl flies over you and the varmints of acid. Anything else you want to do, Alpha?
00:20:37
Speaker
Yeah, there's something else that Alpha would do and considering what's the odds of me getting another natural one? I'm gonna use my high one in 20 tiny cannon
00:20:48
Speaker
Come at us mathematicians, bring us statics. It's not though, it's not one of 20, not two natural ones in a row. It wouldn't be technically in a row because I rolled the 14 as well. My forced ballista cannon as well is also going to take a shot at the one behind.
00:21:11
Speaker
And now, again, it's a ranged weapon, isn't it? It's a ranged one, so I just do it as a normal attack. The ranged spell attack's a disadvantage. Yeah, cool, thank you. I thought it was another natural one, then. Jesus Christ. No, it's a 12, unfortunately. The cannon loads up.
Ongoing Battle with Goblins
00:21:31
Speaker
fires out but it's a bit of a dud hasn't fired in a while and it's a slow shot ping and it bounces off a little pauldron with the metal armor on the on the creature's shoulder and doesn't do any damage like I had like a bit of fluff stuck in the um in the um barrel or something like that which is now still learning beta is still learning that's all exactly uh sorry uh you don't you don't fucked up next
00:21:56
Speaker
Over to you. You've just seen the actions and machinations of old Galen. The vomiting owl burned the head off one of these goblins and then him scuttled off into the bushes somewhere. What would you like to do? Nix is gassed and enamored by the beast mode on display from Alpha.
00:22:18
Speaker
And then a little bit more vomit-inducing stuff from the actual owl. But he's going to withdraw both his daggers from his hips and he's going to do a cool little shing as he pulls them up and he spins them in his hand to hold them so that the blade is facing downwards and the hilt is up. And then he's going to beeline for the nearest goblin.
00:22:42
Speaker
which is by the broken statue. And as soon as he gets there, he's gonna do a little mini jump. And as he comes down from the jump, comes the right dagger across his face. And he makes an attack. How is a 17? Nice, very good, that hits. That's very good. So as he jumps into it and he pushes the blade down across the face and he lands on the floor, it's gonna be four points of piercing damage.
00:23:12
Speaker
Nice. Properly cuts his cheek and down across the jaw bleeding profusely from the right side after that blade strike. Anything else you want to do next? Yes. So as he gets up, he's going to do an uppercut with the second dagger in his hand for a 13 to hit. You got two attacks.
00:23:33
Speaker
with two daggers you do. Oh, no, of course. Sorry. Yes, of course. That misses, unfortunately, as you bring up the second one, the crossbow comes up kind of blocking blocking the shot as you go for it. Sorry, that one misses, unfortunately. That's OK. And and then, yeah, Nick's is going to just stand back up and square off against the goblin trying to emulate a beast mode from Alpha. Nice.
00:23:57
Speaker
as the goblins turn turns and they're going to be going to form a little one man one human centipede here a little row as the goblin that was on the side is now going to move into a flanking position on the other side of marota so we have creased door alpha goblin marota goblin all in a line
00:24:15
Speaker
The two central goblins and really were fighting Morota until Morota ran off or ran over to the combat are going to move into this other attacking force that's entered in and move up towards Nyx. One of them is going to move in towards Nyx, the one that got caught by the acid. The other one is going to join the combat and is going to mirror the position
00:24:34
Speaker
Around Marota. So there's three around Marota. There are three around Alpha as well. Things are getting pretty hairy here. So firstly, Nick's the goblin that you've been attacking. He's going to attack you back. He's going to try and fire a crossbow bolt, panicking at you. It's got disadvantage. That's going to be the set. Oh, I rolled an 18. That would have been good. Seven, eight, nine, nine, a 10 against your armor class. Misses. Oh, he shot fires up. I think maybe he tries to fire as he's deflected the arrow. Oh, fuck. Fucking misses anyway.
00:25:04
Speaker
the new goblin that's over an approach the burnt face one is going to try and hit you that is a 14 against Rama that hits bing five points of slashing damage slash slash as it comes in with his axe
00:25:19
Speaker
across your Seine. We'll go from left to right across this. So we'll move on the Alpha enemies through to the Morota one with the central one deciding what it's going to do in a second. So firstly, Christo is going to swing at you, Alpha. Ah, man, that's a 10 against your armor class. Absolutely. The one to the north that hit you before is going to go for 12 against your armor. Absolutely. The one in the very center of the combat between Alpha and Morota is going to turn to Morota as she has done damage and Alpha has not.
00:25:48
Speaker
11 against your armor class. Man, I'm wrong. Missed. Damn, god damn it. Good. Gone to the north of you, Morita, that stepped up. Ah, that's better. An unnatural, a dirty 20. Hit. Five points of slashing damage. Slash, slash, come down on your face and body. And the last one is going to mount some 18 against your armor class. Hit. How's advantage? It does have advantage. It's good with the crit. I got it. I'm really sorry. Fuck. Oh, I rolled.
00:26:19
Speaker
But I rolled the lowest I possibly could on that, so that's one. Four points of slashing damage. I rolled two ones. On a crit, poor kid. Yeah, I rolled literally, that was the lowest I could roll. Oh, to be a goblin. Man, that could have ended badly. That could have been really bad. I can last all night. Oh, I'm sorry. That's the equivalent. Yeah, literally. I thought I could, but I can't. And that's the goblins' turn.
00:26:44
Speaker
Let's see if we can cause some damage now, lads. Let's go, let's go, let's go. All right, Old Gale. Nix, you can see this tiefling person that you've befriended in front of you, flanked by goblins. You can hear off the kerfuffle that Marota and Alpha must be dealing with behind the broken remains of the statue. Ahoot is hiding behind, and has been unnoticed by the goblins, behind a tent to the north. What would you like to do? Okay, Old Gale is gonna just quickly shout out
00:27:12
Speaker
Oh, get all the goblins on the close by. And he's going to sprint as far as he can, which is only 25 feet behind the ones that are attacking Nick, still away from them. And he's just going to get himself to a position where he can actually see the bigger fight that's going down. He's going to stumble and fall flat on his face and be prone.
00:27:36
Speaker
uh basically ending that run probably sandal kind of tripping him up somewhat um but yeah i'm gonna have him you're putting him uh yes a reason there is a reason behind it but it's i think flavor wise that that kind of makes sense um and i'd like him to to kind of from the floor if he's got a clean line of sight on uh just one of the guys that's that's attacking
00:28:04
Speaker
Um, is it Morota that's closest to me? That's great. Yeah. Awesome. Okay. So into the back of the, the guy that I can see ahead, um, I'm going to try and do a can trip, uh, mind sliver. So it is a saving throw. It's not an attack roll. So I think I can do it without him having advantage on the saving throw. Is that right? It wouldn't have anyway. Yeah. Just cause it's not an attack role and I'm prone. So it doesn't.
00:28:32
Speaker
Yeah, I need him to make an intelligent saving throw. Three. Okay. He's just gonna, as old girl trips over, his eyes are gonna kind of cloud a little bit milky. And he's just gonna kind of say pretty much to himself, you want to see how you die, boy?
00:28:58
Speaker
Oh, and he takes six points of psychic damage, and he's got to take 1d4 off of the next saving throw he makes before the end of my next turn. Oh my god, what just happened? His eyes, Marota, as you look around between the three enemies that surround you, this particular chap, the one to the east,
00:29:19
Speaker
His eyes suddenly open wide and then from the corner of both his kind of tear ducts, his nose, his ears and the corners of his mouth is a small trickle of blood comes out slowly from the mall and then he just stops moving for a second and then just tips backwards. He's dead.
00:29:40
Speaker
You've killed him. You've killed him. Dirty Whispers. Dirty Whispers. You basically said, you want to see how you die? Oh, like this. And then you just showed him exactly what just happened to him. And then he died. Wow. That's gross. That was a bit sorry about that. And then, yeah, I'll end my turn prone down here and have a hoot following my commands to bring his, her, sorry, entire movement
00:30:10
Speaker
Let's just see how far it is that she can fly out. I can't work it out because it's not a token. Down to the face of the goblin that's nearest to Nyx on the north side and once again make another acid breath trying to get both those two and not Nyx. So it's deck saved if that's okay. Okay the first one is a eight no sorry ten and the second one the second one is 14. That's a pass.
00:30:36
Speaker
So the first one takes nine points of damage, acid damage, second one takes four. Oh shit, the second time this guy's taken acid damage. He's not even facing, and the same thing, oh my God, Nix, you just see from the back though, the head just dissolve through. So what's left really is just like a bit of nose and jaw as it slumps to the floor again, literally in front of you.
00:31:00
Speaker
Sorry, I didn't actually hear or I interrupted out the excitement. If you pass, you still take half damage, is that right? That's correct, yeah. So how much is the half damage? Pull for the one at the back. Oh, sorry, you did say that. The splash though of this one hits and what it does is the acid gets into the huge cut that this one has across its face that Nick's pulled open and it just starts to pull that cut apart further and further until his eyes stop moving and again he slumps against the wall
00:31:30
Speaker
And he's also dead. Oh, awesome guys. And Grace, our low, low HP. I mean, there's six HP, these guys. So the I was going to use the last of its movement just to fly on top of the broken statue above all. Flipping at old girls taking out three of these gobos so far. He's on a rampage. Thank you very much for that. Oh, no.
00:31:56
Speaker
The shit you've just seen, man. Over to you, you've got one to the north of you, one to the west of you. Alpha is still surrounded. The guy behind you just fell over and is dead, but no one was near him. And you can hear the screams of goblins behind the statue and probably the screams of Nyx. What was that today?
00:32:12
Speaker
So feeling pretty banged up at this point. She is going to just let the coil of the whip loose and then begin to just few arm flurries and then bring the whip up and she's gonna strike the one to the north of her. Okay, roll to hit. For a 19. Nice, that hits. And that will do.
00:32:42
Speaker
six points of slashing damage.
00:32:49
Speaker
as the whip coils around the neck and just a single loud crunch takes place. This tongue falls slack and the goblin falls dead on the floor at your feet as you slowly uncoil the whip from around its neck. Nice. Anything else you want to do? Yes. Okay. So as I'm bringing my arm back from the whip motion, the same arm, the elbow is going to
Interrogation of Christo
00:33:13
Speaker
pull back 90 degrees and I'm gonna elbow the one that I'm flanking with alpha for advantage. Roll to hit. This is your bonus attack, isn't it? Yeah, I'm doing flurry of blows, so I'm gonna get two of these. Apologies, yep, go for it. For a 14. That misses, that first one, unfortunately. Okay, then I'm going again with my flurry of blows.
00:33:50
Speaker
21. 21. Nice, yep, it hits. Fucking sick. Here we go. Six points of bludgeoning damage. Boom. Punch with the back of the, oh no, this one's facing you at the point, so I'm punched in the throat. Shuts the windpipe up, six creation down and dead. There's two more left still alive, and they're both surrounding Alpha. One of them is Kreese, or the one that spoke to you, and there's the one to the north of Alpha that is still alive.
00:34:19
Speaker
I'm just going to, with the rest of my turn, I'm just going to slowly stroll and put myself the other side. So I'm just going to walk behind Christo and just breathe down his neck. Nice. Alpha, it's your turn. What would you like to do?
00:34:36
Speaker
Well, hopefully this will work a lot better. The first thing I want to do, I've locked eyes with Kri's stall for a moment and I'm going to just turn to my right slightly and then take aim at the one to the north of me with my force ballistic cannon. So I want to try hitting with that to begin with. That's a bonus action that I'm using that for. Okay. Roll to hit beta. Beta. Beta. Beta. Roll for beta. 15 to hit. That hits. It's disadvantage, mate.
00:35:06
Speaker
Oh yes you are indeed correct. 14 to hit. That misses. You've got an AC of 15. The cannon fires off at full power but just from its angle it's a little too low and it just skips its head out the way and misses. That's fine. Okay what I'm gonna do then and I'm probably
00:35:31
Speaker
It's alright, I'm going to reach forward with my one spare hand towards Kree Star in front of me, and I want to basically grab him by the scruff of the neck, bring him to me, and I'm just going to give him a quick glance of the entirety of the battlefield as I turn, so he sees all his dissolved comrades that are missing heads, the eyes of Bled and all this kind of stuff, and I'm going to
00:35:59
Speaker
make him face the one that I've unfortunately just missed. Hopefully seeing the fear in this one lone little goblin that's left as I'm also holding Kree Star. And I'm just going to get him really close. And I'm just going to tell him, you had your chance. One more. Where is Rachel Yarg?
00:36:34
Speaker
A lot of stuff you've just taken, if the deal will commit. Before you do any of that, you need to make a grapple. If you're pulling this guy in and forcing him to look for grappling. That's fair, that's fair. So come and grapple firstly before you, you know. Well, I suppose if you want to play by the rules. That's like saying, and then after I've grabbed him and thrown him over the building, then I'm going to turn to my magic money pot behind me and I'm going to give everyone a thousand gold, you know, a thousand, right, grapple with it. I'm sure a mix of being happy about that.
00:36:54
Speaker
wait to undermine that and that was a lot of stuff
00:37:02
Speaker
Oh, for fuck's sake, I'm rolling dog turds tonight, I really am. You have advantage on it. I have advantage. I know, but I'm still rolling dog turds. Come on, you big hunk of metal. Okay, 18 with advantage. That's better, I got 11. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't stand up. Christ, if I'm on the first roll, I wouldn't
00:37:30
Speaker
What was your outcome apart from sounding like Batman? What were we aiming for? Sorry. Where is the Joker? As in, do you want what you're looking for? I'm not trying to do anything with Kree Star at the moment with it because I want to use up all my actions, all my bonus actions and all that kind of stuff. It's something that I wanted to do in preparation for whatever people are going to be doing the next round. It was literally a movement where I've got him and I'm holding him by the scruff of the neck. Cool. So my action was to do that.
00:38:00
Speaker
Thank you very much for that alpha. Nyx, both the enemies that were on you and you were thinking shit, shit, shit just dissolved.
00:38:10
Speaker
What would you, what do you want to, and it's an owl that's doing it. What do you want to do? Yeah, never mind this great big fucking robot that's walking around missing everything. Ooh, fluffy owl death. Next is looking around him with the big piles of green goop. That's a, a zapid and his, his blue tiefling eyes are just wide. He looks over to old girl.
00:38:36
Speaker
I'm really glad you're on our side. As Nick's kind of walked forwards past the broken monument and surveys the scene in front of him that Calum just aptly described. And he's going to take one of the daggers and try and hoof it towards the other goblin. We don't have a name for other goblin. Final minions.
00:39:04
Speaker
final minion Jim uh yeah he's gonna just kind of gary gary the goblin kids no all right rolls ahead gary the goblin uh for 20 oh 20 hits uh so as he balances the blade like he uh in his hand he's gonna flip it up on top of his hand flip it back down into the palm of his hand and then from over his shoulder kind of whip it and uh
00:39:31
Speaker
and it's gonna be for five points of damage. Nice, stabs in the back, cries out, it's not dead yet.
00:39:40
Speaker
But he has a dagger sticking out of his back and he does not look happy about it. Anything else you want to do, Nix? No. Nix is going to lean up against the broken monument, kind of enjoying beast mode that's in front. Trying to look cool as fuck. The goblin that has the dagger in the back is going to take the nimble escape, which is a bonus action to disengage, and is going to hoof it away.
Final Escaping Goblin Halted
00:40:07
Speaker
That's a fake opportunity.
00:40:10
Speaker
Um, it's because it's taken, I think I would have taken, it's got bonus action to disengage. So unfortunately you cannot, and it's going to move out of range.
00:40:23
Speaker
It's going to run. He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger! He's taking my dagger!
00:40:50
Speaker
He's heading basically the way you've come into the trees to try and get some distance between you and run past O'Gell, but just avoided contact to avoid that attack of opportunity from you. He saw you on the floor. I moved away from this figure on the floor and his skedaddling leaving Christo on his own grappled by Alpha. He is still on the map. He's still in range. He's still chaseable. He's still kill up whatever you want to do.
00:41:19
Speaker
That is the end of the turn. Christo isn't going to fight your grapple now. He kind of goes limp in your hand, in your arms, your strong arms, Alpha. Might as well just fucking delete Dagger from my infantry. Thanks for that. That's the new mission. Fuck the goblins. We need to get back into this. We need to find that dagger. Old Gal, this goblin with a dagger in his back bleeding has just run past. That is from rust poisoning. And your tetanus.
00:41:49
Speaker
Oh, that's a stranger. I'm going to go ahead and cast Mage Hand if you will allow it. And I want to grab the dagger as he's running and just hold it still. If I don't want to need to roll for that, that's what I'd like to do. I've got no idea. Does Mage Hand work if it's being worn or carried?
00:42:08
Speaker
Oh, that's a point. I don't know if we've got a bag of sticking out of you if it's worn or carried. Reading the description, it says it can't attack, activate magic items or carry more than 10 pounds, but you can use it to manipulate an object, obviously open a door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container. Pour the contents out of a vial. It's not a closed container.
00:42:38
Speaker
If the DM will permit me this is my action Is there a but is there a there's the there's a thing it can't be used for is that described there as well Just says can't attack activate a magic item or carry more than 10 pounds in weight I'm gonna I'm gonna go with it I'm gonna go with it, but this is what I'm gonna want for it though. It's gonna be an arc Arcana check
00:43:03
Speaker
which is stupid for asking a wizard for an archiver check because this is your ability to deftly control your mind and therefore the hand of the thing to grab something of the back of a moving goblin whilst you're prone as it runs past you um before you before you show i'm just gonna let me just write down a run dc that i think would be befitting of your level and the quality cool i've got it down what did you get
00:43:29
Speaker
I got a nine. Nine. Um, you instead slap the, uh, goblin on the back of the head slightly and knocked his head forward as it continues running past you. Like you've just kind of flicked it around the head, like a naughty school school school person. Um, unfortunately missing the grab of the dagger as it runs past you. Um, that's right. That's right. No, no problem. Uh, and I'll, I'll use my movement, half my movement to stand up.
00:43:55
Speaker
and kind of I'll let him be and just run off and he's the last sort of 10 feet that I've got to move closer towards the action that's going on there and we'll have in the kind of a hoot to turn have him come down and kind of land on my head. Cool, thank you. And that'll be me. Thank you very much for that. Morota, this guy's running off, the goblins run off, Alpha's got Kree Storm, what do you like to be?
00:44:22
Speaker
I'm going to pick up my boomerang, which will now be at the floor where I'm stood, because that's where I hit Kretor with it. And then I'm going to just sort of stroll around Kretor and Alpha as they have the little embrace. And I'm just going to say, nice to Alpha. And then I'm just going to ping that boomerang out into the escaping goblin's back. All right, roll to hit. For a 20.
00:44:52
Speaker
That hits. And I'm going to make this non-lethal if it kills. Damage is four. That would kill, so it's non-lethal, so the creature is knocked out. Still the dagger in his back. Face first on the ground, perhaps on the back of the head as it tries to run away. And it is now prone.
00:45:19
Speaker
I'm going to say we drop out of initiative order for that now because Christa isn't fighting at any more alpha. I think he's come to terms with what's happened and what is going to happen.
00:45:33
Speaker
A low breeze rolls in the trees. Shh. This is the moment of silence after the quick three rounds of combat has taken place.
Post-Battle Reflection
00:45:41
Speaker
There's some heavy panting, some heavy breathing from Christo and from some of the others around you as old girl. You brush yourself off. We hear the hoot from a hoot. So fun to say. And the creak and groan of the Mergore estate behind you. We stand for a moment.
00:45:59
Speaker
still after the flack of that boomerang hits into the back of the goblin's head and the final scream stops. What do you want to do? I think Alpha, as soon as the final goblin has gone down, he's not giving up, Kreisler's not giving up any kind of struggle. I want to go over to one of the goblins that has been dissolved by acid, and I'm going to ask him again,
00:46:28
Speaker
is Liagh. And if he does not respond, I'm going to stick his face into this dissolving acid. Roll for... This is a pure whatever you want to do. I'm definitely trying to intimidate him. I want him to see me scarier than Liagh right now. Yep. Roll for intimidation then. I'll be rolling dog turbs and I still continue to do so. Three, this is going to be fun.
00:46:58
Speaker
Eat shit. Was that him exclaiming shit because I'd stuck his face in acid, or was he caught in shit? No, it was it saying eat. Sorry, it said eat shit. Eat shit. Shit. In which case, I'm just going to stick its head in this acid again. Why did you push it into the skull of his friend that is now burnt with the remains of brain and acid? He's going to take three...
00:47:28
Speaker
two points of acid damage. Okay, he comes up and he's got burn, my acid burn marks down his face. He kind of pushes himself away, he pushes himself away. Oh yeah, just as he's doing his heavy breathing. Last chance, where will I find Leog?
00:48:00
Speaker
see the eye starts kind of running with the acid or tears or pus or something down the side of its face. In the manner, right down the stairs, in the main chamber,
00:48:25
Speaker
That's fine. I'm not letting go of it. What I want to do now, I've got him in one hand, I want to grab one of these majority decomposed acidic corpses as well. And I'm just going to turn around to the rest of the party and say, I'm going in to the manor. And we're going to start walking towards the door. You do you boo.
00:48:53
Speaker
Yeah, Alfa's gone in like major beast mode. So as I say that, I'm going to yank out Nix's dagger from the unconscious goblin, grab my boomerang, walk over to Nix, hand the dagger back, and just say, he's got your jewel, remember? We best not let that get taken by the goblins.
00:49:17
Speaker
Yeah, like if he goes into beast mode over that, could you imagine what would happen over the duel? Plus, I've got my eyes on another prize and eyes will shift over to old girl. Ah. Either way, I hate to see what happened to the horseshoe if you didn't, you know, keep an eye on him. Yeah, I best temper his emotions, I guess.
00:49:48
Speaker
Thanks for the dagger. Step over the various pools of acid and sort of try and follow. I'm going to pelt after Alpha.
00:50:04
Speaker
You find yourself stood around yet another outcome where there seem to be lots of acid and lots of corpses again. It seems to happen quite often. And you hear what Alpha has just said to you all about going into the manor. What would you like to do? I'll kind of look up and scratch a hoop under the beacon and go,
00:50:29
Speaker
Oh, we've not tried it with the acid before. That was some freaky stuff. We're going to have to try that again sometime. Let's go. We don't want to go out here all by ourselves. Real freaking naughty. Real freaking naughty. Alpha asked him about the crystal ball, and I'll kind of jog and try and catch up.
00:50:47
Speaker
Nice, and as you walk round, the long way round, the long eastern wall of this manor to the front doors, you notice, as was described by Aula back an episode ago, the doors have been ripped off their hinges and almost directly in front of
Plans to Confront Leog
00:51:03
Speaker
the first anti-chamber room as you enter into the space. It's a large, what must have been kind of a greeting room that's now been absolutely decimated with a large open broken wall to the south and a broken wall to the
00:51:19
Speaker
West as well, but what draws your attention is the 10 foot by 10 foot hole in the middle of the floor You can hear and smell from it. You can smell fire You can smell food like meat cooking. You can hear some kind of tribal drumming and the shouts and yells of excitable goblins down below
00:51:44
Speaker
And as the four of you step in, the five and a half of you, I should say, step in and over the four of you crease store and burnt acid corpse and spear down the rope ladder down that takes about 20 feet down to the floor below.
00:52:02
Speaker
as we all take in that smell of burnt acid burnt goblin that's we're gonna leave it for this week's episode of the fellowship of the tabletop now now some violent combat
00:52:21
Speaker
I'm disappointed. I had something prepared for when we see the goblins and I'm going to have to save it now. I'm going to have to make a note to make sure that I don't forget it because I was quite happy with it. Yeah, you haven't hit the nuke button already. That's fine. No, no, no, not at all. This is Alpha finally, you know, just being who he wants to be, you know. I love it. I love this. I love it so much.
00:52:46
Speaker
Chaos, absolute chaos. Yeah, the pendulum between the two halves of this group that could just swing either way. Lots of fun, Callum. Well done. Well played. Oh, dear. Why don't we get him to this point where we can trigger him with a word? Yeah, like a code word. Yeah. How would the word work? Can you imagine?
00:53:08
Speaker
We just don't tell everyone or anything about it. Can you imagine just Nick's using message or something like that? He's completely out of the room.
00:53:21
Speaker
Get suggestion. Whenever you get like level three spells, get suggestion. Oh my God. There's so much you could do. So much fun.

Speaker
Shout out to, I believe, another podcast that's called iRolla1 somewhere down the line. I've been getting that up on my Twitter feeds. So it's quite interesting hearing all the podcasts that are related to either at the fellowship or not that we coined the phrase at fellowship. Let's be honest, great George RR Martin for that one. Don't sue us.
00:54:22
Speaker
Wait, no, no, no. What are you doing? I've got a Game of Thrones book literally in the corner of my eye here, and thinking and seeing do very simple things for me. But George RR Martin's basically, it's a rip off, isn't it?
00:54:43
Speaker
That's just called Star Wars Star Trek. Who gives a shit? If you wanted to follow us individually you can do so.
