The Goblins Fan Forum

"Here your earned it after what you gone thought" said Tells as he hand Naps the sword and armor. "So what the plan to solve this puzzle" said Tells as he sit down on a non goop area of the floor.

"Thanks" says Naps accepting the armor and sword while cursing herself for being a complete idiot, she will then offer the borrowed dagger back to All before joining Tells. "Costa threw the bag, I hope it didn't get too caught in this mess."

TURN 66

The party have a quick breather from the current situation.

"Thank you thank you , thank you , thank you THANK YOU !!! "Costa is ecstatic at not having that burning sensation any more and tries to kiss All but she runs away squealing "Eww, get off, you're covered in acid!
"You better not be trying to cheat on me sweety you don't want to make me mad."
Steals smirks at the happenings
"I'm amazed you didn't have any snarky comments about what happened after the paint goo monster exploded."

Tells hands over to Naps the armour and sword he saved
"Here your earned it after what you gone thought"
"Thanks" since she now finally has her own weapon she returns the borrowed dagger to All.
She then ask Costa for the things he found earlier and never threw away as he was blinded before he had a chance, and he gladly hands them over.

"So what the plan to solve this puzzle"

Steals flicks the number 8 stone coin towards the statue and as it hits the perimeter the force field activates again and it bounces of back to the ground.

Steals will put int the coins numbered 0-7 and the coin 9 into the indents of the statue.

Tells watches Steals put in the coins.

"So which door is right? We also need to take that book if we can, the bard asked for it."

TURN 67

All looks around at the door and the book.
"So which door is right? We also need to take that book if we can, the bard asked for it.", but nearly everyone stands around not knowing what to do so Steals picks up one of the other bags of disks from the chest and starts placing them into the slots into the base of the statue, from 0 to 9 but leaving out the 8. Once in position they stick in and seem to be held by an invisible force.
Once he places the 9 into the final slot the force field reactivates and a giant see through glowing head appears in the room.
"That is not what I am called, next time you will wake my anger for I protect the fountain!"
The head then disappears and all the disks fall out and onto the floor. "Woh! i hope this head is friendlier than the one that had hands."

"Next time I think you should have a plan before you act..." All frowns.

"These numbers mostly look like they could also be letters. B, O, I, E or maybe even M, H, S, B, L, G.... the 2 can't be a letter... but I can't think of a name that fits all those letters. Except "Bobsleigh", but I doubt her name is Bobsleigh."

"Am surprised the skull hasn't said anything since we got here" said Tells as he pick up the Crystal skull to put it right side up.

"I did think! I just went for the follow the vowel strategy trying to sum up the vowels which would be 8.. But I'm out of ideas now."
Steals will observe the statue at a slight distance

Naps will start rearranging numbers to see what else she can spell.
"I thought the two was a z, the only one that doesn't have a letter I can think of is 8, but maybe we can use it to rhyme with things. Her true name,...maybe it has something to do with the goblin-badgers we met at the entrance, too bad we don't have anything for an a or an r"
After some thought. 'What we could do is throw numbers at the doors until some of them pass through, then use those numbers to take the wrong turn that isn't the one our dead bloke went through in order to see what it has to say about this, then hoping we don't die, wind up back here."

Naps will then see how many bags of numbers they actually have in the room (are we all sharing one or are there several now?).

costa will lay down, being super bored tossing the hearth in the air catching it, and trowing it up again

This looks to be just a talking turn and as i'm away from my computer with the picture files today I will do a half update-

TURN 67.5

Perplexed with the situation the group discus
"Next time I think you should have a plan before you act..."
"I did think! I just went for the follow the vowel strategy trying to sum up the vowels which would be 8.. But I'm out of ideas now."
"These numbers mostly look like they could also be letters. B, O, I, E or maybe even M, H, S, B, L, G.... the 2 can't be a letter... but I can't think of a name that fits all those letters. Except "Bobsleigh", but I doubt her name is Bobsleigh.",
"I thought the two was a z, the only one that doesn't have a letter I can think of is 8, but maybe we can use it to rhyme with things. Her true name,...maybe it has something to do with the goblin-badgers we met at the entrance, too bad we don't have anything for an a or an r"

Naps checks out the chest and then pulls out the contents and counts the total amount of bags of disks, there is 12 bags in total and each has the 10 disks inside numbered 1-10 except the one that was missing an 8 which is currently on the floor. She starts arranging letters and at one point it does look like she made the word goblin but that's too short to fit into the nine slots.
'What we could do is throw numbers at the doors until some of them pass through, then use those numbers to take the wrong turn that isn't the one our dead bloke went through in order to see what it has to say about this, then hoping we don't die, wind up back here."

Steals paces and looks at the statue,he senses a feeling of familiarity again, as if he has seen this exact statue before somewhere.

Tells turns the skull upright
"Am surprised the skull hasn't said anything since we got here"
"Well i guess you should open your audio sensory organ and listen harder, i wish i could turn mine off like you can apparently, all this chatter and you still don't know what to do, and there i was thinking you where going to put your dirty fleshy hands inside me again to talk to your friends?"

Costa bored with talk lies down starts throwing the heavy-ish elemental heart up and down until he misses it once and it roll and hits against the chest, it moves slightly now that's its been emptied of it stone disks.

"8 could be B, that's what I was thinking anyway. The shape of the 2 doesn't look like a Z to me."

All goes to look under the chest now she sees that it can move.

"Well, it's not pointy, but the curvature matches Z, I can see the B now, hm....maybe it was in something that bard said...."
Naps will re-arrange some of the numbers to spell "she goblin," with slight embarrassment over wasting the last one Naps will quickly down her remaining healing potion and go to insert the numbers 543906714.
((Sorry Naps, you can blame the writer for that idiocy, I keep forgetting that the turn of anger is instantaneous after the turn of eating.))

(Shegoblia? Also you've two 4s, is that going to work? I have literally no ideas though so that's better than anything I can come up with :/)

All gets ready for the inevitable backlash that comes from sticking the tiles back into the holes.

Tells move as far to a corner wall of the room as he can be feeling like something very bad going to happen.

((the second 4 is an n, upside down and no idea, but I'm trying it anyway))

TURN 68

Costa picks up his fire heart and goes back to tossing it up and down whilst lying down in a non goopey area.

All goes over to the chest and pushes it a little way and finds there is a small hole underneath it. She finds a black glass puzzle box (glass puzzle box needs 3 full turns to puzzle over to open)

"8 could be B, that's what I was thinking anyway. The shape of the 2 doesn't look like a Z to me."
"Well, it's not pointy, but the curvature matches Z, I can see the B now, hm....maybe it was in something that bard said...."

Steals watches on as Naps downs a healing potion (+2 Hp) and takes over rearranging numbers after a little think she tries and forms the word she goblin, not happy with just using the one bag she then plucks a number four out of another bag and finishes his answer.

Placing the disks into the slots they stick like before and lock in place."Everybody ready? Here goes the last one!"
"Wait let me get to a corner!"Tells tries to head to a corner of a round room... he doesn't find one but get an equidistant position away for the statue.
Naps then places the last disk. The floor suddenly turns partly dimensional and tries to warp and wrap your body trying to rip you apart by sending you to multiple dimensions at once. Every one shudders/screams and/or spasms. (-2HP ALL).
"SONOFACRAP!"

After a moment that seems like a life time it deactivates and the floor returns to normal. All the disks in the base of the statue stay stuck where they are except the last disk which was numbered 4. The single disk ejects itself back onto the floor.

"Ouch. So hey, that 2, sideways... Doesn't it look kind of like a wobbly N? And if her name really is Shegoblin, maybe she doesn't like that upside down 9 as a B, since it popped back out...maybe she'd prefer the 8, which means we don't have to use duplicate 4s, and it leaves the number 9 left over which that guy was holding?"

Steals will look at his goblin statue to see if there is any hint on it and go towards the dead yellow goblin and eat an angerberry and beat the hell out of it!

Small edit as there has been a small confusion, when i said final 4 I meant just the last disk not the last four disks.

Tells decide to move over to the box and get inside it.

Just back away real slowly...

"Is everyone ready?" All will put the 2 (sideways) in the last hole, unless someone asks her to wait.
