Session 1

General Summary

Previously

The Tiefling siblings set out from Daggerford on a lead that their parents were last known to be heading to Julkoun.
They were ambushed by Kobolds on the road and swiftly dispatched of them.

Julkoun

As the tiefling siblings approach Julkoun, they behold a picturesque town nestled amidst rolling hills and lush forests, its quaint buildings adorned with colorful banners and flower boxes. Despite the charming exterior, an air of palpable tension lingers, with cautious townsfolk casting wary glances towards the outskirts. Guards patrol the edges of town, giving the visitors an impression of a looming threat. Daily life carries on amidst the cobblestone alleys and bustling marketplace, but an eerie silence underscores the atmosphere, punctuated only by the rustle of leaves and distant howls. Julkoun presents itself as a place of beauty and resilience, where the community's spirit of defiance shines against the encroaching darkness, leaving the tiefling siblings with a sense of anticipation as they embark on their journey.
Greeted at the entrance by Captain Alden Swiftarrow. He greets them warmly but with caution, asking their business, who sent them, etc. He eventually directs them to the Mayor's house where the supplies will be sorted and distributed.
Delivery is for Mayor Elara Brightwater. The Mayor is almost releaved to see the party and their delivery. She welcomes them to the town and offers them room and board at the Jester's Pride

Both NPCs will tell the PCs about the Kobold problem and that their parents did come through town but were taken by the kobolds.

The Shadowfang Covenant

At sundown, there is screaming from outside. When the PCs run out a shadow passes over them- they look up and see a great adult black dragon flying above the town. It lets out a great roar and disappears behind a cloud. At the same time a huge flame erupts from the center of town and two kobolds appear. It is Vorax Flameclaw. He demands a portion of the new supplies be dropped at the drop area by dawn or the town will duffer the wrath of Varanthrax. He disappears in another flash
There is a secret tunnel underneath one of the stones in the central square. Investigation will show its presence and it seems to lead a long way to the outskirts of town.
Depending on how the PCs proceed, the encounter might be that night or could be at the drop off site the next morning. Either way, they will find secret tunnels and there will be a kobold encounter outside of town.
