31st GLASG, 572EE
General Summary
The party take a short rest in the hobgoblins kitchen. There is some concern about what Harnir would consider serving as a meal but he reassures them it would be a desperate day when that could include goblin. Harnir does search the kitchen for spices and finds 4 herbs and spices that are worth taking.
The group decide to explore further. On entering a dining hall they see some well crafted armour. Unfortunately, as they get nearer, three of the suits of armour attack. It looks as though the armour has the upper hand until Hilde decides to headbutt one of them. This move is a deciding factor in the short term as the armour crumples in front of her, but the long term effects of concussion take their toll for the rest of the night as Hilde is never quite the same in her attacks.
After clearing the accessible areas of the first floor, the group descend to ground level and look around the rooms there. Harnir has difficulty keeping everyone together as they split and excitedly run around. In one room they find large barrels of Snake Oil, a substance they remember being sold in the market square of Octow’s Reach. Throwing open another door they are overwhelmed by the smell of wolf urine, obviously a room used to keep the wolves when they weren't chained up. Zendazalle Kront'tazza conjures the smell of lilac to cover the reek.
They find steps leading up to an unexplored area. On entering they discover a mysterious rapier with a beautifully embellished hilt. Hilde is surprised to find a weapon that doesn't feel quite right in her hand. This rapier nudges at the memory of Zendazalle Kront'tazza who can recall a rapier called The Face, and she wonders if this is the same item. A door out of the room is blocked by two suits of armour with large shields. These suits do not attack but do move to block the room. After trying a few different things the group find a solution to make the suits step aside and they enter what appears to have been the main bedchamber in the fort. There, in a chest, they find carefully laid out a suit of studded leather armour and two longswords.Otter Wetbottom decides to jump on the bed and accidentally break it before searching under tables. The group are surprised not to find more in a guarded room.
They then descend into the dungeons below the fort, following the sounds of screams and shouting. They find a half elf called Isidore in a cell. She recounts that she was captured in Cobblyn Woods a few days ago. While most of the party are talking to her, Montague "Monty" Hightower rushes on and disturbs a group of hobgoblins. Another battle ensues. Isidore shows the party that she is worth admitting to their group when she downs two hobgoblins, each with a single arrow to the head. After the battle they find three treasure chests containing gold, armour, gems, and jewelry.
As Zen tries to uncover any magic in the items, the rest ask questions of Issy while also mulling over a possible name for them all.
