You are Shax Bonemurder, Raid Leader! You conceded the tournament you mostly entered for fun so that Squidface could get a rock and be less gross. Or more gross? You're not sure how squid liches look. You assume it will be gross, though, since everything they do is gross. Except for being your friend!

"Hey, Squidface! What am I supposed to tell the rock dude?"

"How the heck should I know? I wasn't the one who talked to him in the first place." He shrugs dramatically before doubling over coughing, "Haha, guess I better get started on this lessons then, right Achaikos?"

You cross your arms and glare at the jewel encrusted skull, "You better treat him right, Mr. Demilich, or I'll have to come back here and wreck up your tournament again."

The shiny skull shakes back and forth. "Please don't use the power of friendship throughout my life or death tournament again."

Well, you're through this impromptu tournament. What's the plan, boss?

>Talk to skull and squidface. They're busy but you're not bothering anyone, right??
>Hey, we can still kill some time. Let's do some sidequests!

Hah, by using 'tournament' singular rather than plural, we can totally do this in any future tournaments of his! Technicalities win again!
>>
>>31039237
>Track down the other contestants and apologies for not getting them their stuff.
>>
You let loose a big yawn. It's been a long day! Oh right, you turn to the demilich. "Hmm, I was wonderin', where did those other contestants get off to?"

"I reanimated them to serve in my legions, obviously. What? Is a proper lich gonna let champion level fighters rot away for no reason?"

"No I mean the ones that didn't die."

"Oh. Them. The snake person is still hanging around here insisting on joining the next tournament. Apparently he refuses to leave till he dies or gets the dumb artifact he was sent here to get. So that is terrible. Other than that, the bardic Satyxis is arguing with some of her groupies about where to go next. They all seem to be insisting that she come back and meet their parents... And the young noble girl is marching off in a huff with her orc manservant straight back to the capital. Why do you ask?"

"I dunno, I was thinking about talking up some of them." Gneb gives you the thumbs up. The boys have secretly stuffed most of the food here into their pockets and bags. Guess you don't need to stall anymore!

"I've had more than enough talking for one day, seriously, aren't goblins supposed to be violent brutes?"

Wow! He thinks so highly of you. Anyway, it looks like you don't have much time if you want to catch up with a specific contestant. Who do you wanna run after.

>Axe Girl! Her axe is huge! That means you can be huge friends!
>Satyr Lady! She is pretty! Maybe she is tired of her friends? She can just hang out with you then.

Eeeh.. I get the feeling we're going to keep running into Axe Girl no matter what we do. I'm more interested in the Satyr for now.

I love Axe Girl, but she'll be around.

>Axe Girl! Her axe is huge! That means you can be huge friends!
The others don't interest me at all.

>>31039779
But anon, she already owes us a debt. It'll be much more ominous if we just disappear now.

I guess we did spare her
ok, satyr lady won anyway
>>
>>31039889
It's, it's not like we like your quest or anything, baka!
>>
Well, you don't wanna chase an axe wielding antagonist to the base of power for the local government you are committing terrorist attacks on, the snake dude is boring, so you guess that leaves the Satyxis.

"Alright, thanks skull! Hope you get better, Squid Face." Wait, isn't being fully dead worse? "Or? Worse? I don't..." Gosh this is hard.

"Haha, it is okay, I get it, kid. Take care out there."

The boys leave with you, some of them complaining they didn't get to fight much of anything. They're gonna have to work off some steam later! You try to remember places to raid on the way home. At least they got plenty of tasty food and rest. If nothing else, goblins are lazy. They enjoy their rest.

It doesn't take you long to spot the bard and her fans. A small cluster of girls surround the fluffy haired satyr. "So did you win the tournament?!" "You're so dashing!" "What happened to some of the other girls?" "They couldn't make the cut, obviously."

What the heck is their problem? Do they like girls or something? The boys are all shuffling awkwardly when you get to the group. The disdainful stares at your cluster of monstermen is a little annoying.

"Hey! How are you, fellow tournament contestant friend."

The satyr looks a little embarassed, scratching the back of her floofy short dark brown hair. "Oh, hey. Sorry for not meeting you in the finals." She shifts awkwardly a bit, shooshing the groupies various demands as to who you are. "You're done already, though? Did you win? I doubt anyone could beat that monster..."

"Nope! I conceded. Mr. Squidface is a friend of mine, and he really needed that rock."

"What rock? Actually, don't bother answering that. You're friends with an illithid? How is that even possible?" Large gold eyes stare at you in shock.

'whats an illithid?' 'who is this hussy?' 'goblin girls are so disgusting'

Haha, this is the kind of talk you're used to...
>>
"Anyway, how did you get so many friends?"

"Satyr music tends to drive women a bit wild. Unfortunately, that seems to remain true even when played by a female. Don't ask me."

Your eyes light up and you wave your arms excitedly. Music is that powerful?! That seems cool! "Hey! Can you teach me to play music?"

The satyxis gives a light laugh, before responding, "I dunno if I'm any good as a teacher. Do you have any experience playing anything?"

"T-Tambourine!" You played it a long time ago! It was super fun because it was music but all you did was hit things and shake. You were a natural.

"Oh? I am not sure what I expected, but that is surprisingly normal. Do you have a good sense of rhythm, then? Timing is important."

The boys are bickering with the fangirls, it seems. Well, no time to worry about that. "I'm not sure what that means, but I don't think so, teacher."

"I'm not really a teacher yet, you know? Jeez." She's acting embarassed, but it is clear she likes it. Time for one of your goblin special skills to come in handy: flattery!

"You've already taught me so much! Music drives women wild, and timing is important!"

'what kinda dirty things is that pervert goat teachin' our boss?' 'he's not a pervert, he's a noble artist!' 'your artist is a lady, lady'

The goatwoman explains the basic concept of music theory to you. You attempt to not quickly forget it, but it is a lot to take in!

"Hey, wanna join up with me and talk about music all the time?"

"Ehhhh... I don't know. I'm sorta on the hunt for inspiration. You seem fun and all, but I'm not sure what you're up to is really gonna jive with my goals."

Folk music, Metalcore, and Gangsta Rap.

Are you joking? because that's the weirdest fucking combo i've ever seen.
>>
>>31041143
Yes, anon. I'm joking.
Though I don't actually mind Trot or Joik, though I wouldn't listen to either of my own volition. Actually, the same could be said of Gansta rap and Metacore. I'm not very discriminating in my music taste.
>>
>>31041174
Pretty much the same here. I'll listen to anything but i prefer Rock and it's various subgroups.
>>
"What! I've been on tons of inspiring adventures!" You tell them about the time you cut a lava snake in half to get a necklace for a gnoll so he could throw a coup on a crazy one eyed gnoll.

"That sounds pretty crazy, true, but that isn't like an every day thing for you, right?" You point out that it basically is, and rattle off a couple other side quests you've been on. "Wow, you're a busy little goblin, huh? Still, I'm not sure I can abandon all these poor women I've accidentally charmed." You point out that she seems annoyed by them anyway. "Yeah, they're here because of me. I don't want to just lead them into a death trap."

Taking them back to your base would be problematic, but you could probably arrange some sort of secondary base? I dunno, you weren't prepared for this kinda logistics work. Are they refugees? Prisoners of war? Who knows!

"Whatever! If they're your responsibility, you should just figure it out, right?"

"Eh? I guess that's true. Hey, wait, why are you talking like I'm joined up already?"

"So come back to camp, the boys could use some music! Haha, just don't drive Allonces crazy. She is crazy enough already."

"Why would I head to your camp if I haven't joined?"

"Oh! First we gotta see that rock guy and see what we can do for him. You got any advice?"

"I don't know the first thing you're talking about."

You successfully recruited goat lady! Definitely!

On the way back to the rock guy's place the boys all assembled some sorta weird band and you make a small cocophony. This seems to be naturally dispersing the goat lady's groupies, and also succeeds in entertaining her and the boys at the same time. You are a double good leader! By the time you get to the rock dude's tree and spinbot that guards it, you've probably committed several crimes against music. Luckily, no one polices such things.

Well, how do you wanna approach the rock guy?

>Example: Hey! I didn't get your rock. Anything else you want me to do?
>>
>>31041307
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeey - I lost the turnament but I didn't die an I met the skull guy and a snake dude and the ace girl again and I recruited the goat lady guy cause her music was cool is there anything else you wanted sorry about the rock"
>>
>>31041307
>Explain carefully to rock guy that the skull guy was really grumpy, and you couldn't get the rock, which is a pity but you think helping squid face become a skeleton so he doesn't die is even more important than finishing his quest.
>>
>>31041307
>Hey, rock guy! I almost got your rock but then a friend needed it to live and so I gave it to him. Friends are important, right? Even if he looks funny. Got anything else to do?
>>
>>31041307
Seriously, didn't we buy There Is Nothing That My Choppa Cannot Chop!?

is the rock perishable? Can't squidface give it to us once is fine with it?
If so we can say that we can bring it later.

Another thing we don't NEED to report back to the elemental. Why go to him anyway since we don't have what he needs?

"Hey rock guy! Thanks for giving me a chance, it was really neat cause I got to meet this skull person who had a lot of jewels, though I have more, but don't tell the boys that, and a snake dude who liked religion as much as you like scaring people off, and a goat lady with cool music. She's here right now if you want to talk to her! She is pretty nice and pretty pretty, but don't listen to her music if you're a lady or you might go crazy apparently? Are you a lady? Oh, but I lost the tournament so I didn't get the rock I'm sorry."

[I'M SORRY I WASN'T LISTENING. DID YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT A SKULL? THAT ASSHOLE IS STILL ALIVE?]

Wow, harsh words! "Oh! So you knew about the tournament, neat! That saves some time! Why the heck did you send me to a life or death tournament without telling me about it?!"

[HEY, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID THEY WANTED TO PROVE THEMSELF. THOSE WERE YOUR EXACT WORDS, IN FACT.] They weren't. [IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL RIGHT? C'MON. BUT YEAH, NO ROCK? WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE, THEN. DON'T TELL ME YOU WISHED FOR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE A CANDY BAR THE SIZE OF YOUR SWORD OR SOMETHING.] Oooh, that would have been a good one.

"Nah, I conceded the last round! I met an old friend who needed that rock or something to be less coughy."

[HE NEEDED AN ENCHANTED EMERALD PALESTONE FROM THE GREATER PLANE OF ELEMENTAL CONFLUENCE TO CURE A COLD?]

"I think it was a pretty bad cold."

[MUST HAVE BEEN.]

"Hey, if it is an emerald palestone, then why is it purple? Isn't emerald green?"

[CEASE WITH YOUR QUESTIONS, CREATURE! YOU ARE UNPLEASANT TO TALK TO AS ALWAYS.]

"Oh! But! What about the cool thing that you were going to make me, how do I get that now?"

[I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE ROCK, BEAST. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHER SUPER COOL ROCKS AROUND HERE?]

[ME EITHER. HMM, THERE IS AN OLD RESEARCH FACILITY FROM THE LAST KINGDOM TO RULE THIS LAND THAT MIGHT STILL HAVE ANCIENT ELEMENTAL TECHNOLOGY IN IT. THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THERE?] He gives you directions to it. You put it on your sidequest log.

The satyr lady is sorta standing in confusion. "To be honest, I thought you made up half this stuff. You really do run errands for elemental forces? On top of being a raider? And who knows what else kind of other things? It is just too much to believe."

"Hahaha, yeah I've only been doing it for about two months, too."

Oi, Chief!

I'm no graphic designer which is plain to see, but I think I've done a decent job of cleaning up your chart so it makes more sense. Fewer lines criss-crossing and junk; couldn't avoid it entirely, though.

Also, I'm not sure if what we have unlocked is accurate in the pastebin, so I didn't bother marking what abilities we have.
Hope I made it a bit easier for you revise your abilities chart, ya?

You've been out the whole time dorking around, maybe you should raid before going home? Plus you gotta put the new dudes through their paces. You're not really loaded out for a raid, so you might just hit somewhere small? Seems fair!

There is a small village on the way back home, so you figure you might as well burn it to the ground and loot all their stuff! Or something.

"So, uh, how do you feel about raiding and pillaging anyway?" You're not sure what the goat lady's stance on this sort of thing is, after all...

"I'm from a long line of drunken rapist maniacs, raiding and pillaging isn't something new to me." Sounds like a family you don't really want to meet.

"Wow, sounds messy! I don't really know what my parents were like." You take a bite to give yourself time to think, "Oh, right, I never got your name, did I?"

The satyr stops, blushing. "Oh my gosh, how did I forget that? The name is Sitri." She scratches her curly hair, embarrassed. "Nice to meet you. But yeah, if you're worried about how I feel about raiding, it isn't a problem." She gives a thumbs up and a dazzling smile. Too pretty! This satyr is an enemy of all men!

'boss I like pretty girls that also a bit sporty, you know?' 'shuttup!'

"Neat. Do you have any sweet raiding skills? I know you're good at singing, but that doesn't really help sneaking much."

"Good with a sword, songs can buff your boys, and I've got a few blessed powers from the Goddess due to my devotion to music."

Good to know! Anyway, the town is coming up. Your party is: Whoop, Bokagh, Skedob, Zexur, Mani, Dorle, Bearbreath, Nost, Truz, Gneb, and Sitri.

What's the plan?

>Smash and grab! Your party is slanted to a straight up fight. Buff up and roll out.
>Let's be sneaky!
>Something else!
>>
>>31042561
>>Something else!
Take over village, hold a tournament.
>>
>>31042561
>Let's be sneaky!
Show off Shax's expertise. After hitting stuff with her sword.
>>
>>31042561
>>Let's be sneaky!
Never failed us before, but this time buff our party first, well away from the place we're attacking. Then sneak.
>>
>>31042561
>Smash and grab! Your party is slanted to a straight up fight. Buff up and roll out.
We probably don't need to be sneaky this time.
>>
>>31042561
Have a small group go into town pretending to be wandering musicians, let them stay overnight at an inn.

Then strike from both inside and outside the village at once.
>>
>>31042561
>Smash and grab! Your party is slanted to a straight up fight. Buff up and roll out.
We can probably just overpower the village, plus we can see what the satyr can do.
>>
>>31042561
>Smash and grab! Your party is slanted to a straight up fight. Buff up and roll out.
>>
>>31042561
>Smash and grab! Your party is slanted to a straight up fight. Buff up and roll out.
We can do well like this, sneaking isn't really worth the risk of failing this time.
>>

never mind that only one of them can play something resembling music.
>>
>>31042678
Because being efficient all the time isn't nearly as interesting as improvising. Don't you like fun?
>>
>>31042592

Don't think I won't do it!

Also; writing.
>>
>>31042744
Good point, let's try doing>>31042615
>>
>>31042738
Shax can play the drums, and I bet Elf-girl could be persuaded to harp it up.
>>
>>31042744
There's improvising and there's just silly. Plus do we really have the time to spend the night? This was supposed to be a quick raid.
>>
>>31042744
I love fun! However, I find being efficient very fun, which you apparently do not.

And if you're going to improvise, I think the plan should at least be thought out a tiny bit.

And it isn't my idea of fun to spend a lot of time and effort on a town we can just storm through. There will be towns where we have to come up with clever shit because they're too big to just storm, let's enjoy this opportunity while we can.
>>
>>31042792
You mean the elf girl back at the camp?
>>
>>31042174
Great!
>>
>>31042802
I don't think you understand. You're not playing a game of chess here. This isn't about making the best moves possible. It's about seeing the world through the eyes of a character, and advancing the story as that character would. Shax isn't a strategist. She's an easily excitable goblin girl, and you're turning her into someone who raids towns with military efficiency.
>>
>>31043016

I don't know if I maintain a consistent character with the MC, to be fair to that guy.

Shax is a vague enough slate that I'm sure several players have very different impressions of her!
>>
>>31043016
Or someone who raids towns the same way she has already been raiding towns? Sneaking and raiding a pretty much goblins bread and butter and it hasn't led her wrong so far.
>>
>>31043016
I'll agree that she's an easily excitable goblin girl. So why are you making her come up with all this complicated sneaky shit that won't even work, when the exciting option is to just blitz the town?

Hopefully I've helped your understanding.
>>
>>31043055
>I don't know if I maintain a consistent character with the MC
She's consistently inconsistent. Except when she's not.
>>
>>31043131
Why do I think she'd come up with this? Because she just found a companion who happens to be a bard. Right now, the exciting option is not doing what we're always doing, but seeing what that bard can do with the power of music.
>>
You've been sneaking a lot lately, but sometimes you just wanna smash stuff.

"Alright, boys! I was gonna have us do a cunning plan and sneak. It involved music because music is really neat, but I am thinking that maybe we oughta just smash this place instead, whaddaya say?"

Truz and Nost get real excited, "Yer always sneakin' and stuff boss, we never get much of a chance to really cut loose!" Nost pats his magic hammer, and grunts in agreement.

"Shaddap! We're good at that stuff," Gneb counters, a bit nervously.

"Yer just scared of charging in without getting a blessin' from your momma!" "Nuh-uh! I'm not a momma's boy anymore! I was just worried about getting skewered to death, but everyone will be tryin' to stab your ugly face so it doesn't matter." "At least I got a face someone other than my momma could love." "Momma this! Momma that! Why does everyone gotta keep bringing that up?!"

Bokagh looks over at you, crackings his knuckles, "A straight up charge, eh? That's a bold strategy. My impressions so far have been pretty good, kid. You sure you're not half orc?"

Skedob and Zexur are looking at bones on the ground, talking about omens or something. You try to not give them a reason to talk to you.

Dorle and Mani are arguing about the amount of munitions to use on the village as Whoop goes around blessing people and Sitri starts playing some music. The music seems to get you pumped up! You feel like you can take on the world and also find that satyr lady a little more prettier now, because of her stupid charming music. That might get pretty annoying.

After you're all ready, you decide to lead the charge!

Yeah, we're getting buffed with the power of music, and getting our team buffed too. Seeing what she can do with the power of music, check. Oh, and we're not doing what we're always doing, since we always do some sneaky plan, and now we're just rushing them. Another check.

It's good that we've come to an understanding! Happy to have you on board the charge right in train.

Are you seriously bringing out the 'Oh look, you're agreeing with me!'-card?
Fine. If it means this much to you, then we can agree to disagree. Sound good?.

I'm just saying, we're doing everything you said you wanted in your post. I never called you out for pushing a ridiculous plan everyone knew would fail.
>>
>>31042423
>>31042127
Well damn, I don't think I can improve too much on that as far as layout and such. Could probably pretty it up so it's less plain (I'm sure I've got some good gobliny fonts in my library somewhere), but that'd be about it.
>>
As you and the boys start charging the town, a few people step out in front of the gate.

"Foul beasts! Your exploits have reached even this corner of the kingdom. Fear not, innocent villagers, but we, the Adventurer's Society's very own Royal Rose Party will defend you!" They remind you of the the axe girl... and when your charge meets them they end up reminding you more of Allonces.

It doesn't take long to swarm over them and break through the gate. Explosions from Mani and Dorle's antics rock the place as the boys set about looting the place. As far as you can tell, it is just more jewels and gold pieces and food. This is all stuff you really liked a lot before, but you've got so much of it now.

Man, your priorities are really changing, you guess? How much raiding do you gotta do before your job is done, anyway? These are the idle thoughts you have while smashing and bashing various objects to receive the loot. You've felt like you've done a real number on this kingdom. Maybe even made your mark? How many villages are out here anyway? You feel like you're losing a lot of your motivation to raid.

The boys seem happy, though. They're holding up their loot like prized possessions. Even Sitri seems to be enjoying the whole thing, despite herself. At first she looked a bit grim, but now she's having fun. Whoop has been staring at you this whole time, though. What's he up to? Didn't he say something about his mom telling him to go along with you when all this started? Maybe you ought to talk to him about what he meant by that when you get back to camp.

All this thinking wears you out, even if it was an easy raid you get real tired for some reason. Jeez, this isn't like you at all. You look back at the town a bit glumly as you head on home.
>>
>>31044028
SHAX IS CURSED! Soon she'll start procrastinating everything even though she will never learn what that means.
>>
>>31044028
No! Goblins aren't supposed to feel ennui! Shax, what is happening to you?

Cleaned up a little bit for ease of viewing. I don't think I missed any.

Including Goblins seems like the clear winner.
>>
Alright! Including Goblins looks like the main winner. This new skill chart is super handy.

Thanks again anon who made it! I am but a clumsy fool and couldn't do it myself, so I apologize for relying on you.

I can run again this thursday, provided everything goes well. There shouldn't be much of a reason why I can't get back to running twice a week!

Thanks for playing, everyone! Thanks for putting up with me getting the rust off, thanks for reading the threads in the archives, and thanks for being an awesome audience that is fun to play with and entertain. You guys put as much effort into this thing as I do, I'm pretty sure, and I appreciate it!

Hope you all have a fun night!

Missed the thread. Daaaaw...

I wonder when we should get longevity? One of these days, it should protect Shax from a Nat 1 or two.
