Session 20 - Smash and Grab

General Summary

IG-88 went off to investigate the howling made by Yog's bear while the rest of the group setup an ambush. He discovers a convoy of Kobolds and Lizardfolk carrying supplies that turns out to be headed to Ryphol's lair. Luring them into the ambush they quickly take care of the vermin, finding their map back to their home along with supplies. They take their long deserved rest for the night and upon waking up hear that Ryphol was seen headed away from Gelrum, presumably on his way back and will be in the area soon.
Sailing out to where the star charts had put the dragon's lair, they soon found themselves surrounded in fog. Thankfully the compass Adamar gave them activated and started pointing towards the the island where the Ord crystal was. They patrolled around the island discovering an old worn down but still intact airship docked. The group made landfall on the opposite side and sneaked up to the remains of the castle still standing there.
They spotted some lizardfolk sifting through items inside and quietly dispatched them. They moved on to another that tossed an item into one of the ponds. Unfortunately, that one was seen by a couple drakes and the element of surprise was lost. Quickly they rushed in as the kobolds chanting began running around. IG-88 managed to get a fireball off and eliminate most of the kobolds and severely hurt anyone left standing making for easy pickings for the rest of the group.
Casters entered the fray and blocked off Yog and Kylar from the rest of their team. One of the more powerful sorcerers lobbed a large acid sphere and brought IG-88 down. Thankfully Astyages was there to help him back up, at which point the warforged eliminated the shaman blocking them off. Yog went toe to toe with a clay golem that came crashing out, while Khajit and Kylar dealt with the sorcerer making him flee before being brought down.
The group then spent the remaining time looting and retrieving the large crystal, filling their bag of holding to the brim with coins. They moved on to their new found objective, the airship. Spending the next couple of hours repairing the hull, and sails, and jump starting the crystals that power it all with the looming threat of Ryphol returning and with the fog preventing any advance warning. Khajit was able to find the bed of Ryphol underwater where he was able to pickup a curious tome. Spending only a little more time grabbing loot and loading the ship they sailed away successfully before Ryphol returned.
