Session 17: Infiltration

by Gek Ferox

Airship travel 13/6/1436


  • In the aftermath of the fight, Niamh stays nearby Gek's crater to watch out for him while Arthur heads up into the invisible airship to talk shop. We've been able to tell that the goblins have a leader; either an unusually strong goblin, an unusually smart troll, or else not a goblinoid (maybe a wizard).



Fight 14/6/1436


  • We take a rest while we wait for Gek to come back. We are woken up (at noon), by Gek coming back with a pocket of violently filling vacuum. Gek is really really traumatised and Arthur commiserates.

  • We split up, Vordakov gets out a Gorgon (a metal bull, fuck you Gary Gygax), goes in the gate to start clearing them
  • we take advantage of the distraction to sneak in and try to take some gobbo captive to try and get information on whomever is their leader.

  • We eventually get one into a semi-ruined building by the chapel. We ask him nicely and he says his boss' name is Kugnarz - the warlord. We also learn the goblins' name is boblin - wait sorry it's klogz, huh, that's weird.

  • We move past the chapel - which is full of goblin archers that thankfully do not see us.

  • We are suspicious of the seemingly abandoned keep, so we cast detect magic on peachs and send him to take a look. We see some illusions. A warg comes in, tracking our scents, when it gets skewered by a 13/14 foot spike, which we learn is shot by a frost giant with a greatbow.

  • We are thinking and strategizing when we hear giant wingbeats. We see 3 white dragons, one adult and 2 young. They approach and land on the roof, one of them flies into a hole and reappears a minute later with Kugnarz on his back.

  • Kugnarz is a Hobgoblin in full plate.

  • We talk to Vordakov with the diplomats' pouch, he advises we hunker down.

  • We find a house to hide in, but, unfortunately, it has goblins in it. We kill them quickly, and hide. The Dragon lands on the inner wall and speaks to a frost giant, they send 6 arrows into the area where Vordakov is hiding and destroy a bunch of buildings. We hide for ages and realize that the goblins are searching for whoever was in the city attacking the goblins, By this point, Vordakov has gotten out but they don't know that.

  • We make a dash for the edge of the crater because Vordakov told us there are probably open sewers there

  • Made it just outside the sewers, the lieutenant with arm and leg missing nearly dead throws a hand sized coin towards us with expands into a giant blue energy bubble which protects us seconds before the ice from the adult dragon (which had been invisible waiting in the crater for something to come in) hit us

  • Niamh shows the scale on the gound, it shatters and swirling yellow magic crystals erupt everywhere heralding an Archfae who shouts at us about his particular distaste for a certain dragon (Sylak lol) and demands a request from us. We ask him to deal with the dragons and the Frost Giants which he kills instantaneously (big pog). He vanishes.

  • This Archfae is called the Crystal Prince absolutely despises Sylak and us now we will have to massively apologise to him big big time

  • Gek steals as many crystals as he can carry
