The Goblin Adventurer's League

[BadgeAddict]

I actually have a few maps made up that i could give someone if they wanna run it.... I mean, Since i've gone full GM, its not like i will tell anyone who is running into a trap. but, thinks told me i can only run 1 at a time. The other option would be a make a map plan, where I would be more than happy to build a quick map.

I'm not trying to brag or tote my abilities, I'm nowhere near as awesome as LAYF or thinks or LSN when it comes to dungeon building, but, if you had something in mind, I would love to help you or anyone out. ....I need more to do at work...(sad to admit that..i know)

[Patdragon]

I hoping to have finished designing my second 1 in maybe 1-3 weeks. Just been taking a while to get to grips with gimp as I was using paint last time. Going to be slightly different set up from how the other dungeons have been so far and I would call it more of a teamwork puzzle dungeon

Congrats Chuck, you'll be added into the craziness, try not to die too quickly.

*Also, Tea (newcomer), if you could please put everything your character (name, sex, backstory, color) in one post i can add you to the trapper keeper.

I've been considering making a quest, but haven't found the time to really figure it out except I talked to one about it.. That just lead to a lot of death traps which included a lava pit with spikes in it..

Regardless to say, it need some more thought than that

Maybe it's because I'm not a player here, but I reckon there are worse things than outright death traps

[WearsHats]

Sure, it's only a sort-of quest so Mines can just wander over using his magical tracking skillz or something

Oh. I missed seeing this. Thanks!

Okay, then if no one minds, Mines will get directions from Savage (who surely overheard the planning and has some area knowledge), and go join the others. Hopefully, I'll be up to it. As you can maybe tell, I'm awake right now, which is not a great sign. Going to try to fix that soon.

It was more the fact that lava apparently wasn't deadly enough, so spikes should be added to the lava pit..

[thinkslogically]

Maybe I've been DMing too long, but that seems perfectly reasonable to me

I remember in this one camp I went to as a kid we had an activity one day where they would describe a planet and ask us to design a creature that could live there. One of the planets was a sea of lava with sharp spikes as the only land. The only food was a plant that grew on some of the spikes. It produced a marshmallow-like flower
(Conveniently toasted by the lava, I guess.)

Most of us made some kind of bird. It was the obvious choice. One kid, without seeing what the rest of us were doing, made a bird of prey which fed off the creatures everyone else had designed. Another made a blimp-creature which never landed but grabbed the marshmallows with tentacles. And one kid made a horse that ran across the lava. It was able to do so because it had no nerves in its feet, and was invulnerable to the lava. The counselor told him that was very clever and original. I didn't realize until later that day that there was a problem with this theory.

It's been two decades since then, but somehow mention of a lava pit with spikes brings it all right back. Can't remember any of the other environments, though.

Down by the Swamp



After 10 long days hanging out in a cold, wet swamp being bitten relentlessly by... things, the goblins are just finishing up an early supper when they notice a pale golden glow emanating from around the stones. As the sun sets and the moon rises, the glow gets brighter and brighter. By the time the moon is fully up, it illuminates a dazzling path through the archway.

[kida]

Drinks will go through the opening

[WearsHats]

Neat! Shiny! Mines runs around to see what's on the other side. Then he will likely follow the others through. What's the worst that could happen?

[nikohl]

All goes with the others.

[Patdragon]

Having seen some others go bravely through without caution Forges wishes they had tried the old rope trick to pull someone back just in case.... Ah well I've come this far after deciphering the map i'd best step on through in case there is more to do.

[Theis2]

"Into the void!" Steals follows the others into the portal

[Nerre]

Remedy enters the portal too.

Back at HQ



Two new goblins arrive in the bar to join the GAL! Almost immediately, something strange happens and Righteous is teleported right into the middle of an adventure while Dies is rather unceremoniously deposited back in the bar. He still seems a little spaced out.

From somewhere outside, the goblins hear is a tinkling of bells and the sound of music. The door bursts open and a Bard enters!

"There once was a Goblin named Dashon
with limericks being his passion
tho maybe rash
with the offer of cash
he would bring them back into fashion."

"Good morning fine fellows! I am Dashon! Bring me your limericks and you shall be rewarded handsomely!"



Outside, Senor Costa agrees to pay the gnome extra for a beautiful scabbard and Ralf is delighted!

"Oh my goodness! Yes certainly sir! Thank you! I will do my very best to turn these crappy materials into a wonderful scabbard for you!"

Apologies to Patdragon, that Bard should have arrived AAAAGES ago

[Patdragon]

Expecting a bigger audience the bard looks around and sees only a few patrons but decides to continues his song anyway.

"Tell me of your adventurers or your past
in limerick form, no need to be fast
i'll give ye 5 gold
for being so bold
but only once mind, as my cash is not vast.

To the best limerick i'll give a prize
so I think i'll allow unlimited tries
but like I said
only one payout i'll shed
so come tell me your story girls and guys"

[thinkslogically]

The bartender applauds.

[Nerre]

In my very first adventure, there was involved much furniture.
But it were people like Bob, as he explained with a sob,
now he is part of our leage tavern garniture.

OOC: Bob is short for Robert, right?

[thinkslogically]

OOC: yes.

[nikohl]

Aww... is the bard going to stick around long enough for those of us in the portal to try their hand? I like limericks!

[thinkslogically]

You'll need to ask patdragon, but I think he's going to be a permanent feature.

[Patdragon]

His limerick competition will end when I've finished planning and making my next adventure, but the idea is he will be at the bar for a while.

*Also, Tea (newcomer), if you could please put everything your character (name, sex, backstory, color) in one post i can add you to the trapper keeper.

Alright, would you like it here or over in Trapper Keeper thread?

[thinkslogically]

IF you put it in here, it's a nice wee introduction to your character and Badge can pick it up and stick it in the TK. Don't think it really matters though
