Session 52 - Feb 6, 2020 Report
General Summary
World Date, Fall, Third Moon, Fislar (18th Day)
- Party takes a long rest, Merry, Ari and Baeshra inside the inn, the Friendly Fowl, and Scarlett with the kobold captive in Hen House 3. Roth was awake and hung out in the tavern main room all day. Roth sends Olly off to the merchant’s guild with a letter informing them of the progress, which they found the cause of the missing eggs (and that they are working on the nest of them).
- The party awakes rested around 3 pm and Scarlett brings her kobold to the inn and leaves it outside on the porch under the shade, as they do not like sunshine. Rune the head farmer brings a note in reply for Roth, saying that they got the note, and the party should either remove or relocate the Kobolds to the mountains to work in the mines, or kill them. If the party needs help, they should return to the merchant guild and get reinforcements.
- The party takes the villages and Rune around to the various places in the hen houses where the holes were dug and the village began to fill them in and cover the holes with rocks and make sure nothing can tunnel into the hen houses again.
- The party asks if they would leave one hole open so that the party can widen the hole and access the space for a human-size creature and find the kobold base. Roth then suggests that Baeshra dig down outside the hen house, so that the farmers can fill in all the access points to the hen houses.
- Rune asks Olaf to stand guard over the hole that the party makes, and Merry will play music before exiting the hole so Olaf will not mistake them for enemies. Baeshra then goes into giant badger form and widens the tunnel from small to medium sized creature. Some of the tunnels were collapsed on the way back to the main kobold area that Olly originally saw, and Olly and the rat that Ari summoned keep pace ahead of the party in the areas where they can.
- Olly in invisible form sees 9 kobold in waiting at the entrance to a larger tunnel where the party would enter. The rat is seen and is killed. Baeshra creates a side tunnel in giant badger form, and Ari casts detect thoughts, learning there are at least 6 of them, ready to fight. Merry goes into the main entrance tunnel, and casts with the Pipes of Haunting, causing all the kobolds to fear her.
- Baeshra then tunnels into that room, turns back into Baeshra and casts fireball, killing all but 2 of the Kobolds. The leader, Jeff and 1 random Kobold. Black Poison tries to finish off Jeff the leader, but fails, taking a lot of damage. Scarlett then kills the one remaining Kobold and Jeff flees down the right of the two tunnels.
- Roth sends Olly to follow after Jeff and manages to hear him scream a warning about fleeing and that they are under attack. Baeshra rolls a natural 20 and realizes that the leader is trying to get his people to flee and save them.
- Baeshra then summons 8 giant badgers and sends 4 down each tunnel. They dig a large tunnel each way with Baeshra, Roth, Scarlett and Ari going to the right tunnel where the leader ran. Merry follows the other 4 badgers down the left tunnel.
- The four party members find a large room with bed rolls, crates, and 3 exit tunnels at the end of the room. Roth and Baeshra attempt to determine how many kobolds there were and which way they went. They think they went either left or straight. Scarlett then goes up and finds most went straight and at least 8, likely more.
- Merry wandered off to find a cavern full of mushrooms being cultivated with most being edible (of the ones Merry recognizes) and 1 kind of mushroom that is poisonous. She takes 1/2 lbs in her bag and then heads back.
- Baeshra then sends 2 badgers down each of the straight and left tunnel. Ari rummages through the items left, finding a rat skull, some very dirty linen and 2 copper. Scarlett goes back to find Merry, and Roth drinks.
- Baeshra then goes into giant snake form to move faster through the middle hole and the badgers dig out the space behind him. He move a few rounds, goes above ground and Black Poison is able to fly up and see the fleeing Kobolds. Baeshra goes back into lizard man form and starts trying to shoot the fleeing Kobolds with his long bow, yelling back to Roth that “Found them”
- Roth then starts following the tunnel out to where Baeshra was. Scarlett goes back to the sleeping room with Merry and Scarlett goes left to follow the badgers while Ari goes through what was left and tries to organize it.
- Scarlett returns to the room with Ari and Scarlett after the giant badgers disappear. With that, Merry already has gone down that tunnel, and then Ari and Scarlett follow.
- Roth and Merry go up to the field of cows where Baeshra is slowly moving forward and trying to shoot the Kobolds. He summons two giant eagles which fly after them. Merry then casts Dimension Door and takes Roth 450 ft in front of the pack of fleeing Kobolds (18 in this pack they see).
- Baeshra tries to shoot and kills one of the Kobolds, and then Ari and Scarlett appear, with Ari concerned about Baeshra when his badgers dropped. Roth then casts darkness, and Merry casts a spell which takes out 10 kobolds and Roth then takes out 2, with the giant eagles taking out 4 more.
- Then Scarlett and Ari dimension door into the same area where Roth and Merry are, which is interesting as the other 3 are killed and Merry kills 1 and the last one attempts to hide in Roth’s darkness. He rolls a natural 1 and fails, so Roth kills that last one quickly.
- The eagles then pick at the remains, which Ari and Roth and Scarlett go through the remains and try to find something. There is nothing magical and Roth finds 2 gold and a small book of drawing in Draconic on Jeff the leader. Ari finds 8 eggs, about chicken sized.
- Merry heads back to the town, and Baeshra takes the 18 bodies, ties them together and has the two giant eagles carry all the bodies back to the town of Kotssa, and the party returns to the town around 5:30 pm.
