The Pathfinder shenanigans continue!
The goblin we handcuffed last week was conned into thinking we'd chosen him as the trueblooded champion (??) so he'd shut up, but then he started complaining about being handcuffed, so we tied him up as well and told him getting free was his first test. We then started heading back to our parent organisation to demonstrate the evil devil-worshipping scum.
On the way, we were attacked by a hippogryph, which... well, we tried to scare off with an escalating series of screams starting with me rearing my horse and yelling and ending with the wizard using Ghost Sound to duplicate its hunting call right behind it. That didn't exactly work, so we went to plan B: cast Enlarge Person on someone. It has yet to fail us.
So the monk, after attempting to ride the hippogryph (yep. Not very bright) was in the best position, so he grappled it, then pinned it, and we tied it up. At which point its mate arrived. Several attempted Handle Animal checks later, the sorceror/rogue decides 'sod it' and colour sprays it. Luckily, both I and my horse passed the will DC, so only the 'gryphs were stunned. Naturally, the monk then grappled and tied that one, too.
At this point, the goblin rolls out of the carriage shouting that he'd done it, he'd passed the first test. So we did the obvious thing, tied him up again, and told him it was the second test.
We're not sure how to get the 'gryphs back to base, but I'll be damned if I pass up the chance to become flying artillery. I knew I put those points into Ride and Handle Animal for a reason!
