Session 2

We began our session in the Keep, standing around the lifeless body of Garren. He was riddled with goblin arrows. Finn noticed that one of the arrows was well made and was probably from his shipment. Is it a sign that the goblins and hobgoblins may be working together?

After a proper funeral and the cremation of Garrin, the party held a solemn ceremony. Passing the charred bones from the funeral pyre from person to person, the cleric of the Keep placed them all in a wooden box. The party carried it solemnly back to the tavern.

They met up with Finn for dinner. Finn had a many course meal, and much alcohol was served. At the end of the night, Finn, along with some of his guests tried a strange new drink and passed out.

The following morning, the party headed for the Kobold Lair. Unseen goblin lookouts were happy to report that it was not them who would die that day. A new traveler joined their ranks for the day, an acolyte from the Keep temple. Picks was a sullen and unhappy man, but the party put up with him because the cleric of the Keep offered his services.

Heading into the Kobold Lair, the party encountered an ambush. Nine kobolds attacked from the trees surrounding the entrance. They were quickly put down and the party headed in. The initial resistance was easy, then came a wave of huge rats. Some of them were crisped to death with an acid spray. Moving further in, the party encountered the kobold common room. Kobold whelps were screaming as the adults died.

The fighting drew Kang, the chieftain of the kobolds, and his kobold dragonshields. A fire pot and a few sling bolts later, Shedinn dropped. Ventrue soon followed. Having failed their death saves, they were abandoned. Picks healed the party and cast spare the dying on Lorill, but then, when things were at their direst, he betrayed the party. He was left unconscious in the Kobold Lair.

Bruised and disheartened by the death of their comrades, Syl and Oolong dragged the unconscious Lorill back to the Keep. There are some questions to be asked and answers to be had.
