Labour Dispute

by Jensen

Heading further into the Pagoda we were soon attacked by 2 Kobolds with crossbows. We took them out but had to head outside to heal up. Heading back in we found corpses, traps and more Kobolds. We soon found a Kobold with a Spider pet. We took her out with extreme prejudice. A bit further in we found the war leader with her entourage. We took them all in as well. At this point we took them outside for holding and to heal ourselves up. Finally we found that their leader, Skerix was holed up on the top floor with 3 other Kobolds and 6 of the workers as hostages. We managed to negotiate a peaceful resolution, with the Kobolds having to go downtown for questioning. Except the war leader, who was to be blamed for all the deaths. We felt that the questioning may turn out more answers as to who was to blame. Once outside with all the hostages we asked them if they knew about the missing people. They spoke about someone named Jeremin Hoff. When Skerix heard us talking about him she offered that she knew a way to get to him through a secret passage through a graveyard. She explained how to find this passage and that we would find him in a place called the House of Planes. The entrance to the passage was located in the Raptor's Rest, a small graveyard located in Eastgate.
 
We took the Kobolds back to the guardhouse. Once there, we explained to Sgt. Ollo why we had all these Kobolds in tow. When we explained what had occurred at the Dragonfly Pagoda he took us to a room we had never seen before. It had many different outfits and he told us we should not go into the House of Planes as city guard. That would go badly... Jensen and Calum were fine with this but Kasper and Elisan were obviously uncomfortable with the idea of deception. Jensen and Calum assured them it would be fine, but they should not talk anymore than they had to once we got there. We decided to head out to be there by evening the following day.
