Kobolds and Thieves Report

General Summary

To the village

12th of Irami’el 1245 AE

When morning came the group departed from Wildhorn and continued their journey towards Mirefield. Nothing eventful happened during this journey and they reached their destionation rather quickly. At their arrival, however, they saw the Vanguard there in great distress since the Timeas, the mayor of Mirefield, secretly left for the kobold village that night.
The group left Mirefield as soon as possible to try to limit the damage Timeas would cause. When they arrived they saw that Mirefield’s leader was already inside the village so they decided to sneak in. Luckily for them there was a small stream coming from the east side of the hill on which the kobold village was situated. Hesione helped them get inside with her magic but stayed behind together with her men in case an all out attack would be necessary.

Sneaking In

The adventurers managed to reach the cave entrance without being noticed but it seemed they were not the first to arrive there. Everywhere they looked they could see dead bodies of Kobolds and Dwarves. When they investigated the Dwarves closely they noticed that they all had the same black outfit, faces covered with a scarf and a small insignia of a fang. Deeper in the cavern they could hear voices which, on closer inspection, came from a group of four Dwarves dressed in black. They were loading a large egg onto a portable stretcher together with some other valuables. Trying to negotiate with the Dwarves did not help, however. Although they did not attack outright, the group’s unwillingness to leave them alone caused them to resort to violence.
During the fight the adventures could hear a lot of noise coming from the kobold village above as if a huge panic took hold of the kobolds. Not much later a kobold came down from the small nearby waterfall and quickly shouted that he finished his task. Seeing the fight that was going on he quickly revealed himself to be a Doppelganger.
In the end only one of the dwarves was left for questioning. The terrified Dwarf revealed he was a member of an organization called the Black Fangs situated mainly in Ironpeak. They had been trying to cause as much disruption in the region as possible. Their latest plan was to set the Kobolds and Humans against each other. The killed Doppelganger took the form of Timeas and then killed the leader of the kobolds in the hope this would cause certain retaliation from their part.
It seemed that their plan worked since the Kobolds were preparing to leave the village in south western direction, taking their mounts and weapons with them. The group left the cavern but not before taking the egg and the other Kobold loot with them. It seemed the treasures were left by some Draconids a long time ago since there were only skeletons left. Once they rejoined with the Vanguard they decided their best cause of action would be to evacuate Mirefield.

Evacuation of Mirefield

The adventurers went to Mirefield to evacuate it and luckily found out that none of the Kobolds had arrived there yet. Getting everyone to leave the village was for most people an easy task, given the coming threat, but some villagers were harder to convince than others. After some attempts these stubborn inhabitants were convinced to leave as well.
The evacuation caravan to Averton took many hours to reach the town but managed to reach it in time before any Kobolds were seen. When the group arrived in Averton they noticed the presence of several Elf archers from Wildhorn who came to join the defense.
