Session 15

by Assistant Archivist Rhodri Windcrow

After taking care of the murderer, I caught up a bit with Honey while Mayalee handed over the writ for the man's arrest to the local guards.
 
We brought the newly minted icicle to the town jail below the town hall, leaving Elodiel and Verrick with the body, we followed guards Dark Cloud to the Blue Clam.
 
Once we arrived however we left, bringing the Speaker back to the town hall.
 
Honey popped up again when we arrived, her group was also asked to clear out the mines, but they didn't seem particularly interested. We headed to an inn to get a quick rest before heading out to the mines, where we found Dazaan and his crew, They seem to have fought an owlbear and a group of duregar.
 
Dazaan, whose group was at the cavern seems to know my mother. He gave me a marble of untainted shardaline, they took their leave from there, pursuing some detachment of Duregar they were encountered with. We decided to head into the cave to hopefully clear out the kobolds.
 
We ran into a group of unusually large rats, but the melee folks were able to make quick work of them, they were a bit too fidgety for me to hit particularly well. I got the next one though as we worked to clear out the front area. Venturing forwards we found a bridge that seems to lead deeper in. A waterfall creating intensely loud noise. Elodiel noted two kobolds beneath the bridge who seemed to be sawing the bridge supports. Mayalee started pulling one up. I poked my head around the corner and found a bucket lift. We let the others deal with the kobolds.
 
We went down the lift and suddenly Evelyn, the last to use the lift was attacked, and Elodiel was attacked from another side at the bottom of the lift. The others confronted a Grell to the north while i had a staring contest with a pair of kobolds. They decided not to engage so I waited for the others. Eventually they ran off when Evelyn came to tell me the north was clear and we ventured forwards. A swarm of rats chasing kobolds into our path.
 
After we cleared out the rats, we were introduced to the kobold leader Trex, who is very intelligent and well spoken and willing to broker a deal with the speaker, we brought them back to town to speak and managed to get a deal going between the two for a peacible solution. Outside of some rats and a Grell, we managed to avoid major bloodshed here.
