Goblin Camp: Difference between revisions

The '''Goblin Camp''' has a main entrance that is reached when crossing the bridge {{coords|-43|373}} in the [[Forest]]. Alternate entry is possible through where the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] and [[Forest]] meet by crossing the fallen tree bridge {{coords|-23|319}}. Entering this area will reward the party with 15 exp.

To bypass the check point, there is a tunnel to the south rigged with blast mines with a passive {{Ability Check|Perception|17}} to notice them.. They deal {{DamageText|2d6|Fire}} with a {{Saving Throw|DEX|dc=12}} to halve the damage. Can be disabled with a {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|10}}. Jumping over a small bottomless pit will get around the checkpoint.

When you approach the guard post [[Sentinel Olak]] will be quick to question and threaten you. There are a few ways to bypass him without starting a fight:

* If you are a [[Drow]] or use [[Disguise Self]] to look like one, you'll be let through without issue.  

Succeeding in bypassing the checkpoint through most of these methods will reward 140 exp and the '''Very Important Parasite''' [[Inspiration]] for [[Charlatan|Charlatans]]. If you fail any of the checks or pick certain ones, Olak will try to goad you into rubbing Worg dung on your face.

 

* Do as he asks, much to the disapproval of most of your [[Companions]]. You'll be let through at least along with 20 exp.

* If you refuse or try to leave, it will start a fight.

If you approach the checkpoint from the the other side, you'll be spotted by Rindle who will quickly confront you. Besides attacking, you can try to talk your way out of trouble:

[[Sharp-eye Sluck]], [[Devout Wasp]] and [[Warlock Tud]] hang out at this small camp further west of the checkpoint. They aren't hostile, even if you snuck around the other goblins. Further west leads to the [[Mountain Pass]] and to the [[Rosymorn Monastery Trail]], which will progress certain quests in the area, making some fail or be incompletable.

Most of the goblin's hang around this area which has scattered tables set before a crude stage where [[Volo]] is struggling to preform to keep the raiders entertained, under the watchful eye of [[Gribbo]]. Volo will keep singing, mostly randomizing his lines which can become quite annoying, until you try talking to him in which case he'll be dragged off into the Shattered Sanctum.  

Talking to the other goblins can also gives you details about their group, information about [[Halsin]] and other secrets within the temple.

Eating the roast dwarf meat earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Good Ol' Long Pig''' ([[Haunted One]] background).

Just right of the cooking split is a large skull upside down {{Coords|-95|442}} that the goblins use to store their booze. If interacted with, you can combine a [[Basic Poison]], [[Wyvern Toxin]] or [[Drow Poison]] to spike it. It is best to try this in turn based mode while also [[Hiding (Condition)|Hiding]] and/or having someone [[Perform|Performing]] as a [[Distracted (Condition)|Distraction.]] If you are noticed interacting with the tub, you'll be confronted on what you are doing. You can do a variety of skills checks to get by:

If the drinks are spiked, a toast will begin with you pushed into joining in. Once more, you have different ways to handle things.

Failing any of the checks above will give you another chance to avoid suspicion:

If you avoid suspicion, the goblins will all drink up. Mirg, Grikka, Sul, Puli, Aggy, Gurk, Klagga and Breg will all quickly die from the poison. A few will also be lowered to half their health as well. Successfully poisoning the goblins earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Now It's a Party!''' ([[Haunted One]] background) and '''Spiked!''' ([[Charlatan]] background).

After the goblins drop dead, the survivors will swiftly accuse the party to be responsible for the poisoning. You will be forced to attempt a few possible skill checks to avoid an outright fight. You will gain experience as if you killed the seven goblins yourself.

This area is dedicated to the chicken chasing game the goblins have set up, organized by [[Krolla]]. She won't start any games until Volo has been dragged off from his performing. If you haven't gone to the [[Owlbear Nest]] or the [[Owlbear Cub]] is dead, you'll play against the [[Dishevelled Chicken]]. Otherwise the cub will be in its place since it ate the fearful poultry. Playing the game is an easy way to make 300 [[Gold]] if you can pass the right skill checks. The full details on how to succeed in the game can be found [[Krolla|here]].

Beware of poison and blast mines, both requiring a passive {{Ability Check|Perception|15}} to notice. {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|10}} to disable both types of mines. Blast mines can deal {{DamageText|2d6|Fire}} with a {{Saving Throw|DEX|dc=12}} to halve the damage, while poison mines {{DamageText|2d6|Poison}} with a {{Saving Throw|DEX|dc=11}} to halve the damage, though leave a {{AOE|Radius|m=3|ft=10}} [[Poison Cloud]] for {{Duration|3}}. It is best to use {{DamageType|Force}} to bypass the [[Sturdy (Condition)|Sturdy]] condition the mines have. Bypassing them will reach a locked chest holding the {{SmallIcon|Glowing Shield Icon.png}} [[Glowing Shield]].
