Involvement
Act One
Krolla manages the chicken chasing game at the camp with the Dishevelled Chicken. If the Owlbear is dead and its cub spared, Krolla alongside some other goblins with have it captive, debating if they should use it for their game. Considering it ate their only chicken, she sees it as a good replacement since it has feathers and a beak. When approached she will invite the player to take part of the game with her setting a few ground rules.
- The chicken or owlbear must be lead between the posts across the obstacle filled courtyard to win the game
- Must be done within 10 turns.
- Must be done alone. If anyone interrupts, you forfeit the game.
- A wager of 30 or 300 Gold is required to start.
If you agree to play, the owlbear cub will run to X: -125 Y: 441 and Krolla will climb onto a nearby trunk. Once you approach the owlbear in this spot, the game will begin and a timer will appear on the screen for 10 turns. It is recommended go into turn based mode as soon as it starts. This allows you to plan your movements, positioning and use Jump in a timely manner. Make sure to be behind the chicken or owlbear cub so you can guide its direction. The player can displace the trunks, crates, barrels and urns around the track to block the dead ends and force the owlbear to go towards the finish line. You can also interact with the chicken or owlbear cub try and bypass the game.
Whatever method you use to win, you'll be rewarded 35 Experience. Krolla will congratulate you, but when asked about your winnings will claim only a goblin can win chicken chasing, refusing to give even your money back. A variety of skill checks can be done to convince her otherwise:
- [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] Then I'll write new rules - IN BLOOD AND GOBLIN-HIDE. (DC 15 )
- [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] Rules can be broken. And so can goblin bones. (DC 15 )
- [INTIMIDATION] You mistook that for a request. My coin - now. (DC 15)
- [PERSUASION] We're having fun. Why ruin it now? (DC 18)
- [TRUE SOUL] [ILLITHID] [WISDOM] You'll be returning my coin - and all of yours. [note 1] +1 +1 +1 +1
- [DROW] Goblins know to keep a civil tongue in the Underdark. Granted, most of them are slaves. [note 1]
If you convinced the chicken or owlbear cub to attack the goblins, likely leading to their death, Krolla will blame you and demand to be compensated:
- I owe you nothing - I didn't kill it. (does nothing)
- [INTIMIDATION] The game's not over. Maybe you can be the next chicken. (DC 10)
- [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] ROAR. (DC 10 )
- [LOLTH-SWORN] My people use goblin slaves for their games. They always die too.
If you waged 300 gold, win enough times or used your Illithid Powers on her then the game will be closed. If you interact with the owlbear cub and offer it to come to your camp, you can demand to take the cub as well as a prize without issue.
