Goblins? What Goblins?

by Gygax Mimic

So after we were teleported to this other land and met with some Lycans, we were told to sit and wait for a little bit as they were not fully ready for us. In that time I learned a new language and mastered Psionics, so I can talk with Ton Ton. I still have the feeling Zebrel wanted to get rid of us, even though we were helping. And being sent here was his way of saying sit, spin, and wait somewhere else.
 
Neff, or Nef, or Neph, I don't know, did say we were to be trained and get ready for a battle, Ultimus the battle junkie is to be our trainer. So now here we are following Ultimus off to begin our training. Melvin not feeling well was left behind and a 10 foot tall Fey Troll joined us.
 
While walking to our objective, Ultimus tells us our training is to begin with goblin hunting. After walking for an hour through the woods we see down a cliff a tent in trees town. Ultimus informs us that is our objective, and all we have to do is survive, kind of odd, but ok. Then ha mentions that surviving for longer than a minute will break the record compaired to all the other adventurerers he has tried to train. WTF, you dumb battle junkie.
 
The BJ Ultimus chops down a tree and it alerts ALL the goblins down below that they are under attack and see us. Ultimus chops down another tree and starts to do some work on it.
 
Seb, the 10 foot tall Fey Troll, shoots some of the goblins with his bow. Then TonTon eats a fire eclaire and lights the entire tent tree town on fire and the floor of the forest as well, killing dozens upon dozens of goblins in one fell swoop. But the Goblins keep coming in groups up the hill. I try to wait for them to get close so I can kill some as well.
 
During this battle I morph into different things and taunt the goblins, but Seb and TonTon keep killing all the goblins trying to come up the hill. Doots is playing a song "Highway To Hell" to inspire us. After a while I start to feel the need to sing along with his playing.
 
A group of Goblins in fullplate armor start to attack us, 3rd wave, and TonTon decides as they are close to jump off the cliff and land on them. They all go splat and and possible remaining Goblins high tail it out of there as we, Seb and TonTon are too powerful to fight.
 
By this time Ultimus has finished building his catapult, large enough to launch TonTon. And then sees we are done with the battle, he wants to make TonTon pull the contraption while he pushes it.
 
When we get back to the Lycan encampment we are informed that Ultimus really messed up the mission.
1. He was supposed to take the entire unit with us to eliminate the Goblins, which we did as a small group.
2. We were supposed to collect Goblin ears as proof of killing them, Seb did that and saved us.
3. We were not supposed to light the ENTIRE forest on fire.
4. Neff is really pissed at Ultimus.
 
We did meet "Raba" the Lycan Doctor of the camp.
In a weeks time we are to set of to battle and attack a strong hold.
We earned a lot of money for the Goblin slaying, I have Melvins share with his concent. We earned 2500GP each.
