We Are SCOUTS

The body EXPLODED . . . . .
 
Then it was gone, the runes stopped glowing, and all the magic in the area disappeared. WE WON!
 
As we climb out of the tunnel back into town, we find the Goliath from earlier hyping up the crowd about our success killing the Crazy Lady. Doots immediately starts playing his instrument and says "We are the Cryptic Kabal." After a bit of time we head back to camp.
 
We arrive as Tonton is waking up, I grab food and go straight to sleep. After the sun has risen and then set we all wake up and head back to town, as there is a party going on. There are multiple stages with groups playing songs all over town and people dancing. As we enter the town I take to hiding and defense for the party. Doots walks to the nearest stage and starts playing "Hail to the King" (avenge 7 fold). Tonton lets some kids on to his back to give them a better view.
 
All of a sudden Doots stops playing and asks everyone to leave town calmly. A guard comes up to him asking him to stop riling the people to a frenzy, Doots gets away from the guard when the guard tries to arrest him. All of a sudden a Big Guy yells "Gregs Maritom is Dead", freaking everyone out. The Big Guy, Goose, walks up to us as Doots leaves to get some Tonton Scoots. I get an uneasy feeling from him and stay hidden and flank him in-case of an altercation. Doots returns after some time that Goose uses to ask Melvin and Tonton many questions, that Tonton takes long winded advantage of. After handing over the scoots, Doots (HEHE that rhymes) pulls out the mask he and I found earlier and asks if it is his. Goose replies that it is his and that it was stolen from him a few days ago, Doots returns the mask. Goose starts to leave and as a last parting jab says, "You do not want to mess with me, yet."
 
Doots informs us that Neph and all the mercenaries are packing up and heading out. We all head back to pack up and get ready ourselves, I collect a Tonton scoot. As we are packing Doots starts to play a tune to help motivate all and it does help passing the time. As we start to head out we are made to be scouts for the march. During the march we see in a clearing a burnt Fort, and go to investigate.
 
As I climb the walls to get in, I see burnt bodies in armor with weapons all over. There is a central tower with tents all around it, and Doots pushes open the ruined gate for the rest to enter. As we investigate Doots and Tonton gather armor and weapons from the bodies in the fort. Melvin and I enter the central tower to find more bodies all with a single hole in their heads and blackened eye medallions with green gems in the around their necks. In the tower we find a chest on the ground floor with a smooshed Hobgoblin inside it, dead. On the second floor we see a large Hobgoblin with silver hair and gold plate metal dead in his chair. There are also 2 chests up here locked, Melvin sees they are trapped and tries to make them safe. I get the mace to smash the locks hoping not to trigger the traps. As I return to smash the locks Melvin rushes (Flies) out the window and tells the others to take cover. I swing and BOOM
 
All the armor and weapons Melvin and I collected on the bottom floor have melted and everything else is burnt beyond use and recognition.
