The Keep On The Shadowfell
An Adventure Module DM'd By Bounty Hunter

http://i.imgur.com/dFa1X5C.jpg

This story begins with a small party of adventurers marching along a narrow dirt road that winds its way through scattered bits of forest, sparse scrub-lands, and rocky outcroppings of dark grey slate. Beneath their feet the road shows scattered signs of having once been paved and bits of cobblestones can be found poking though the rutted dirt from time to time. However well-maintained it may have once been, near a century of disrepair has left it overgrown in places and riddled in ruts and stones. Despite this, the little group carries on; talking among themselves and keeping a watchful eye out for danger.

Their destination is is the small town Winterhaven lies nestled at the southeastern edge of the region known as The Stonemarch. To the south of the small farming town lies the rolling hills of the Gardbury Downs, small bushes and rocky outcroppings dot the land. Following the road north from town, the elevation raises rather quickly and large wooded mountains begin to rise from the dense forest. It is here in the Cairngorm Peaks that an old dilapidated stone keep stands as the last symbol of a long forgotten empire. Originally a symbol of law and defense that kept a towering watch over the road and surrounding countryside, a chilling quiet now lingered over the area and the villagers dared not venture near it.

The Introduction

The Old Kings Road
Trade Route From Fallcrest To Winterhaven

As your party marches along the old King's Road, you make small talk and rejoice in the change in weather from the recent rains. The sun beams down warmly, but a light breeze on your faces keep you cool and comfortable. The road beneath your feet is level and firm though rutted in places. An occasional ancient cobblestone peeks through the dirt road, indicating it was once something more grandiose but has suffered from decades of neglect.

Only a few hours away is your destination: the small agricultural town of Winterhaven. It is here you hope to find Douven Stual, the man responsible for the creation of your company of adventurers. For several months he'd hired members of your party for various jobs, exploring old ruins or chasing after legends near forgotten by the sands of time. Each job larger the than last and requiring more hands...thus new hire-ons joined and soon there were a half dozen among you.

Douven set off towards Winterhaven just over a month ago, claiming he'd come accross a map with the location of a dragon's tomb somewhere in the wilderness nearby and hoped to 'inherit' its hoard. He was due to return several days ago, but so far there has been no word from him. This is very unlike him, even in the excitment of discovery he tends to be level-headed enough to keep in contact, especially with his loving wife. Having just finished several small adventures in the town of Fallcrest, you set off to find Douven with the blessing and thanks of his wife.

The warm spring sun hangs high in the sky hardly an hour or so past midday. At random intervals you can see marks left by carriages, and in the softer areas you can clear make out footprints. While some of them bear the hard impression of thick-soled boots, you also notice many were made by small, clawed feet.

She was the youngest member of the party, at only 11 years of age, standing just an inch taller than 4 feet. The girl had the look of someone that may be referred to as 'cute', with her long, wavy, golden blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes and sweet little face that lit up whenever she smiled or laughed.

Despite this picture of innocence, her attire was that of a tomboy. It consisted of a light blue shirt, brown pants, a pair of black boots and a hooded green cloak which partially concealed a backpack. But what might make her stand out was the way she presented herself when she travelled. Unlike most children her age, the girl could travel on long treks without getting tired for hours on end. From the way she travelled along the road, you'd think she were a veteran adventurer. The girl seemed comfortable on the road and in the wilderness, while not oblivious to possible danger, she was not afraid of it and showed some confidence in the way she travelled.

But in spite of her confidence, she was no fool. The girl stayed in the middle of the party, keeping two people both in front and in behind her. She was sociable but never let her attention waver from her surroundings. It was her dilligence that caused her to stop in her tracks and kneel down, saying, "Hold it guys. What are these clawed footprints?"

Michaelis

"Ah, the King's Road. We meet again, old friend."

Although he had grown up traveling the southern arm of the King's Road, that was of little help here in the north. His previous experience of the tree-lined, shady, adventure filled south could not have prepared him for the drudgery of plodding through the Gardbury Downs of the north. His flute and companions kept him focused and alert but, oh, what he wouldn't give for the sound of the giggling White River nearby.

Jessica leaves his side to examine something in the road among the wagon rutts. Tracks? Animal, not beast of burden. Wild game would not be unexpected, but they would cross the road, not follow it as these seems to do. A little reconnaissance would break to monotony.

"Korran, can you make out what they are? Xilere, Camille, are they still around? They look small but can you tell their numbers? Good eye, Jess."

Korran

Glancing over at Michaelis, Korran nods before dropping down to one knee next to Jessica, the feathers and beads woven through a single braid of his hair softly clicking as he does so. He observes the tracks for a moment before pressing his hand to the ground next to both sets of tracks in kind, judging their size, depth, and length of stride.

Camille enjoys the warmth of the sun as she waxes and polishes her antiquated weapons. She'd never been on this section of the King's Road before- even in her days as a highwayman, she'd never really seen the north.

Bidden by Michaelis, she forgoes rust-proofing, sheathes her right-hand flail and moves to examine the prints. Adjusting her tie to avoid wrinkling it, she hunches down to observe the tracks.

"How very interesting, Miss Darkwood," she comments before adding, "I shall keep my eyes peeled, sir."

She stands up and tightens her collar again before looking out into the brush and trees- if there's anything there, she's resolved to find it.

Perception to see if anything's still out there.

As another cool breeze wraps its way through the trees on either side of the road the group studies the strange footprints in the soft mud. Korran and Jessica are able to correctly identify several different types of tracks. Wild animals have crossed the road in a few places, but more importantly a few sets of tracks have been left since the recent rain. They bear four long slender toes each tipped with a clawed nail. The tracks are erratic and head in both directions along the road and occasionally head off into the wilderness. As Camille scans the surrounding area it becomes apparent that the birds they had heard chirping earlier are no longer audible.

As Jessica avidly studies the tracks she tries to think what could have made them: Four long toes, each tipped with a claw, traveling in packs, and scurrying in what seems to be every direction. Kobolds!, she remembers Douven mentioning before he set off towards Winterhaven that there were reports of koblods in the area. Before she can tell the others movement catches the corner of her eye.

Encounter One : Kobold Brigands!

Just then...small, strange, creatures previously hiding behind the scattered boulders beside the road spring into everyone's view and begin to move toward you. They are slender with reptilian heads, large orange eyes, and dirty copper scales, their whip-like tails in a frenzy behind them as they sprint. Dressed in dilapidated rags,old worn leather armor and wielding spears and javelins, they let out shrill shrieks and gnash their teeth as they approach. You've just walked into a kobold raiding party!

Combat Round 1 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_uloSlbJErdDVNakxjQjRFTGJuclFvVUZzNGNHZ 2c#gid=0)

Taking advantage of having surprised the adventurers, the kolbolds rush quickly and unleash a volley of thrown javelins. They shriek their warcries and continue to whip their tails. The single creature on the right-hand side of the road slings a javelin towards Korran but the throw goes wide and it whizzes in between him and Jessica, clattering off the ground behind them uselessly. Two of the creatures on the opposing side of the road then hurl their rough-made javelins at Michaelis, he sidesteps one easily but the other sinks into a soft spot between the scales of his armor. The final two kobolds cheer wickedly at the hit scored by their counterpart.

Before the small kobold even has a moment to gloat in the fact that it had scored a hit Korran rushes forward and delivers a decisive blow. His blade sinks deep into the dirty little creature's shoulder and it crumples with a loud shriek, dropping its crude spear in the process. Its companion standing nearby cries out in fright and its eyes go wide.

Kobold Minion #4 is defeated.

Pulling the javelin out of his arm, a grimace plays about his face. "Well, I guess there's no talking to them. Pity. I haven't hurt my throat with draconic in a while. Well struck, Korran!" he adds as this warden levels his adversary. Hearing a rustle in the bushes beside him, he turns quickly. "Watch the foliage! There are some laying in wait!"

Camille's first flail crushes into the side of the of the kobolds chest with a sickening thud, and the creature goes limp without even time to scream. Its thin rags provided no cushion against the crushing blow and it falls to the ground with fatal internal wounds.

"This going along swimmingly," he thinks to himself. "Perhaps we reached the point of harmonious teamwork." He cleans his throat and calls in Draconic to the farthest kobold, his words laced with arcane deviltry and potential. The kobold grabs its head in agony and collapses to the ground. Seeing the visible threat is well in hand, he levels his sword at the bush to his left where he heard the noises and cries, "Are you good foliage or evil? Don't just stand there and brush...er...blush. Show yourself. Put up your steel or leave." He is enjoying himself far more than others within earshot.

The small kobold furthest from the party beings to hear voices in it head, driving it into a rampage. It draws its spear hand back to hurl a javelin towards Korran but drops it before loosing it. The javelin clatters to the ground uselessly as the creature begins to try and cover its ear holes, clawing madly at the sides of its scaled head. Finally with a shriek of pain its eyes roll back into it's head as it drops to its knees, then collapses to the ground.

At this point Camille sees another creature behind a rock nearby, that had apparently been laying in wait for the group to move closer, but in seeing its companion die has decide to join in the fight: Another Kobold with rust colored scales, this creature wears a small suit of thick leather armor and has various ceramic globes hanging from a bandolier slung around its neck. It hisses towards Camille menacingly and begins to unhook one of the jars from it's chest.

Fire erupts from the ground nearby causing two of the Kobolds to recoil in suprise, but too much of the blast goes upwards and the creatures manage to escape the small explosion.

Xilaere

Xilaere sighed gently inside the brush that was presently being used as her hiding spot. She truly hated when plans fall apart, especially when it is caused by the oafish bumblings of a group of sellswords. Discretion was rarely their strong suit, and on the rare chance that they understood it there was an equal chance they would rob you blind.

'Scratch that...I just hate the unfaithful in general' the elven woman thought to herself resolutely, pouncing out of the foliage and making a hook turn towards the nearest kobold with the intent of using the strangers for the one thing she knew they were good for: Distraction. Curved blade already waiting eagerly in her grip, she drove her weight into a high-arching slash towards the meek lizard-boy's throat in hopes of ending it without pain.

As the new figure leaps from the bushes alongside the road and run towards the small lizardfolk it draws its scimitar and swings.

The second swing however struck home before the creature could clumsily front another defense, surrounded on both sides by the adventurers.

At the sight of another enemy entering the fray, and yet another of thier kin falling, two more kobolds come sprinting out from behind a rock on the easter side of the road. These two wear leather armor that has been taking care of better than the dilapidated rags of the first wave of minions. Each of them also bears a short sword as well as what appears to be an old dragon's scale fashioned to serve as a shield. They move quickly to position them selves on either side of Camille and begin swinging wildly. She manages to dodge one of the swings, but the creature behind her finds purchase with it's blade. The final kobold loads the jar into its sling and fire's it form safety hidden behind it's rock. The jar seems to have been aimed towards Michaelis, but it sails over his (and Jessica's) head and bursts in the middle of the road behind them, exploding flames in all directions.

As something bursts from the bushes behind him Korran turns his side so that he's prepared to take an attack from behind but changes his stance once he sees it's Xilaere. Glancing over and seeing Camille beginning to be surrounded Korran leaves the left flank to his other allies and goes to assist Camille. Taking a roundabout path he comes at them both at an angle, as he leaps the last few feet a barely visible apparition transposes itself over Korran for a brief moment and the faint echo of a roar can be heard as his blade flashes like the quick swipes of a predator.

Having thought itself the superior combatant the kobold was completely focued on Korran and not prepared for an attack from Camille. As the first flail whizzes by the creature recoils in suprise and tries to feebly raise its shield just in time for the second blow. Unable to properly brace for impact as the flail slams into it, his shield armor buckles and the large scale smashes into the creatures face. Shrieks of pain can be heard as the Kobold spits out several broken teeth and trails of blood begin to flow from its mouth... it tries feebly to raises its shield once more.

Korran

Taking advantage of the Kobolds distraction caused by Michaelis's war cry Korran dives, tumbles, and rises to his feet facing the Kobolds that are now shoulder to shoulder. Korran glances over the Dragonshields in the direction of Michaelis and nods, "Nice."

The thunderous voice of Michaelis booms across the battlefield, and a few seconds later comes echoing back from the cliffs nearby. Korran tumbles quickly away from the Kobolds as the booming noise pushes them away from the bard. As he comes to his feet again has his back safely to a large boulder, keeping himself from getting surrounded as easily as second time. He comes up quick to face his two foes, but only finds one. The other lies snout first into the ground, still bleeding profusely from its mouth full of broken teeth. The other kobolds are visibly shaken by the felling of one of their superiors, but continue to fight on.

Kobold Dragonshield #1 is defeated.

Jessica curses in frustration as her blast did not affect either of the intended kobolds. But she knows that there is no sense in not trying again. She sees the kobold minion more exposed and the slinger right behind it. So again she makes a circular motion in the air and thrusts her wand up and down a little more violently than the last time out of frustration and the need to eradicate the threats in front of her.

"rapidi erupit!", she yells and suddenly a vertical column of golden flames erupts in between the kobold slinger and the minion in front of it.

A burning column erupts from the ground between the two kobolds on the western side of the road. Jessica curses, and focus harder to make sure this one is on target. As the flames erupted forth the Kobold Slinger dives back behind the rock taking cover from the shower of cinders, nearly dropping the ceramic jar it was loading into the sling. Its companion however was not so lucky, out in the open with no place to hide flame engulf the rust colored lizard in an instant forcing Xilaere to shield her face as the wave of heat washes over her.

Xilaere focused her gaze onto the hiding kobold slinger, uttering a prayer to her fair lady that its death would be fast. Even these monstrous creatures deserved some pity. Flourishing her scimitar, the elf burst into motion, slashing at the lizardling from around the stone and towards its torso.

Xilaere moves swiftly, purpose guiding steps a stoic look on her face, she swings her scimitar with a mean slash, being careful of the rock jutting up between the two of them. The strike is true and slices through a section of the shoddy hide armor tearing into the scale flesh beneath and sinking deep into its abdomen. The creature curses a long string of profanities in its native tongue and clutches at its side.

The kobold slinger, still clutching the gaping wound in its side, scampers a few feet away before turning and unleashing another one of its Fire Shot jars. This one smashes into the rock next to Xilaere and erupting into a shower of burning liquid splattering her and everything around here in flames. It then turns and runs off, leaving a trail of dark blood behind it as it seeks the shelter of another rock.

The kobold dragonshield begins to realize the peril of its situation, but knowing only death awaits it if it were to run it strikes out at Korran again, who quickly dodges the blade as it clatters off the rock behind him.

Keeping an eye out for any last minute party guests, the bard moves forward to try and catch the slinger unaware. As he passes the kobold soldier, he grumbles off a very thinly veiled implication that the kobold's egg mother might very well have been part chicken, judging by his faulty fighting style.

"Xilaere, shall we surround this poor slinging fool? I think Jess and the others will have that one clipped off in short order."

As the Kobold slinger ducks behind the rock and begins to load the final ceramic pot he's caught completely by surprise by Xilaere's swords dropping down upon him from around the rock. It wasnt expecting its foe to have caught up so fast, and more importantly was expecting to meet them on the eastern side of the boulder. Already bleeding profusely, the kobold is felled easily as another deep wound reds it across the back.

It shrieks in furious rage with its eyes narrowed on Korran and drives it sword down, and slams into the warden's shield ineffectively.

As he does so the bard blasts him with another series of taunts and drive the poor, wounded creature even further towards the edge of madness. Blood runs down its armor, drips from it's snout, and oozes from its mouth... it eyes the party with a maddened hunger and fiery eyes.

Normally the 11 year old would not think this way and was empathic but this dog faced little vermin attacked her friends and continued to attack her friends with a passion. That did not put it in any good terms with the young wizard who valued her friends more than life itself. Pointing her wand at the offending creature, she once more conjured her now famous phoenix shaped energy bolt and shot it towards the last remaining kobold.

Winterhaven
Village, Population 977
The rutted King’s Road leads to the foot of a broad hill that holds the walled village of Winterhaven. The village is nestled in the southern foothills of the Cairngorm Peaks. The walls are weathered grey stone topped by defensive palisades. Small thatched homes stand scattered about around Winterhaven, each fronting a small piece of farmland or pasture. Beyond the farms to the west and south lies a dark, thick forest, and to the north, the tall mountain peaks can be seen disappearing into the layer of clouds that hangs about them.

Most residents of Winterhaven have never traveled beyond the village vale. The majority of villagers are farmers, though the walled heart of Winterhaven employs various craftspeople as well. Wagons occasionally head east down old King’s Road from the town to find trade with the next village, Fallcrest, which as you know lies five days away. Sometimes wagons come into town, causing the villagers to excitedly gather in the Market Square to hear news of the outside world and to buy new and exotic goods.

2013-10-02, 09:50 PM

As you approach the large gate on the eastern side of the walled town, two guards stand idly about. Dressed in dark leather armor and holding pikes, they straighten up as they notice you approach, and both politely nod as you begin to pass. One of them speaks up and warmly welcomes you to the village. "Greetings! Welcome to Winterhaven travelers. Are you perhaps traders from Fallcrest?" He smiles casually as he casually glances from one party member to the next curiously.

"The vermin must be desperate. Perhaps travelers come up this way even less than we were led to believe," she suggests.

Jessica does not remember much about Winterhaven. She was only 6 years old when she left the town to go adventuring with her father. So there was no reminiscing of old times past here. She still wondered if her father's school and potion's shop was still here. Probably not. The place was not really familiar to her and yet very familiar to her. Instinctively it reminded her of home, but because of her very young childhood memories of it she felt or knew nothing of it. If that made sense.

"Greetings sir,", Jessica says to the guards with a respectful nod of her head, "We are actually here because a friend of ours came here a few weeks ago while hoping to explore a nearby dragon's tomb. He was supposed to return to Fallcrest weeks ago but we have not heard from him since and his wife is worried. His name is Douven Stahl.

The guard shakes his head a little and glances to his companion who shakes his head in return. No. No ma'am I'm afraid I don't know anyone by the name Douven, but of course there's not way I could get the name of every trader who comes through. Perhaps you could ask around at the inn though, anyone that comes through out little town ends up there at one point or another. He motions over his shoulder towards a large wooden building through the gate. "And regarding the kobolds, we've been hearing more and more tales about them, you may want to have a word with Rond Kelfem in town if you find the time."

"Well met. We may have to have a word with Mr. Kelfem. These kobolds may also have waylaid the traders you're looking for, if they are overdue. Ah, it's been a span since Winterhaven felt so good beneath my boots. Is the inn still around the way?" he asks, gesturing in a twisted, convoluted manner. "We also scored a bit of ruffage from the highwaymen we'd like to have off our backs. Is there a market scheduled soon or a buyer in town?"

Xilaere had decided to tag along with the group of adventurers she'd met on the road. The kobold ambushers that seemed so common on the road now were an issue of concern, and though a small group they were quite effective at dispatching them. At the very least, perhaps the town of Winterhaven would offer some answers as to why they ravaged the land unchecked or at least have some clue as to where they were coming from.

The elven woman nods politely to the two guards, adjusting her cloak beneath her backpack slightly. She directs her question to the first guard, but glances to the second as she asks. "Rond Kelfem? Is he captain of your guard, or the mayor? And where might we find him?"

And yes, Wrafton's Inn still stands proudly just inside the gate. he states, clearly more excited to know that Michaelis had been in town before.

"We also scored a bit of ruffage from the highwaymen we'd like to have off our backs. Is there a market scheduled soon or a buyer in town?""You're in luck!" He exclaims and then glances over his right shoulder, back through the gate. "Well, might still be in luck. The market was quite busy today, you might find a merchant who's got some coin to spend yet. But the suns going down, pretty soon they'll put aside business in favor of a tankard of ale.

In response to the question posed by Xilaere, the guard informs you that Rond Kefem is captain of the Winterhaven Regulars, the small group that patrols the city and her walls. And that he can be found either in the Warriors Guild, the Barracks, or on patrol if its his shift. You thank the guards for their help and information and then head through the gate.

As you pass beneath the large stone gate and come into the walled town, your view is predominately dominated by the large wooden building directly in front of you. As you round the southern corner of the building a large carved, wooden sign is planted firmly in the ground. The sign is painted dark brown and accented with large bright yellow letters reading 'Wrafton's Inn'. Before you lies the wide dirt area of Market Square, where several wagons have been positioned and a couple of merchants and traveling tradesmen are flashing their wares to several villagers who have gathered. The area bustles with activity in the warm afternoon sun, and the sounds of people talking, children playing, and of horses from the nearby Stables fill the air around you. Once you're noticed, several people look your direction curiously, as if expecting more traders, but then go back about their business.

Wrafton’s Inn

This spacious inn and tavern serves as the public house for the region. Like alehouses everywhere, Wrafton’s Inn offers beer, wine, and, on occasion, spirits. Meals are served for those with the coin, and beds for travelers are available. A crowd of villagers gathers each night to drink, gossip, sing, and play games of chance.

A fire crackles in the hearth, and a young human woman tends to the bar. If asked, she introduces herself as Salvana Wrafton, the owner and proprietor of the establishment. Several of the townsfolk gather here already, as the afternoon beings to slowly fade into evening, they take a break from hard lives on the farm and busy days in town and they gather here to enjoy themselves. This early though in the afternoon though a full crowd has yet to gather, a few people gather around one of the central tables, an older gentleman who looks to be a tired old farmer sits at a table in the corner, and an elven woman sits off to the side alone looking lost in thought and looking quite stiff and bitter.

Michaelis and the others wander through various merchants carts in the Market Square, inspecting the items of each as they pass looking for someone willing to buy their spoils. After passing by carts full of produce, farming supplies, and various other agricultural good, they come to a gruff looking human who has a stand piled high with various furs. Some look to be the pelts of wolves, but for the most part mainly bits of leather, small hides, and various pouches and belts made from the same material. He greets them warmly, and after a bit of chatter back and forth offers to buy the ragged bits of leather and the suit of armor they have at the price of 5 gold pieces for the intact armor, and 2 gold peices 5 silver pieces for the scraps.

Regardless of whether they accept, as they go to leave his stand he calls out "You might be able to sell yer dagger, as well as tha' sling and bullets here in the market, but for most of those weapons I'd give a visit to Thair the town smithy at his shop though Bairwin may have some coin to spend as well." He points out the location of both the Smithy (5) and Bairwin's Shop (7) just off the to the side of the market area.

Barely a few steps down the road, a path to his left leads to wooden, one-story building with a thatched roof and stone chimney. The elaborate metal sign hanging in front shows a crossed staff and sword and proudly proclaims "Bairwin's Grand Shoppe" in crimson red. Directly opposite, on the right hand side of the road is a building that is cearly the town smith. The stone building is crafted of the same stone as the mighty walls, and the black shingles of the roof sport a fairly recent coat of paint. Smoke from the chimney rises lazily into the sky before being wisked away by the breeze far above. The blacksmith shop is one story tall, and one its wester side an awning of sorts juts out, under which a portly drawf works diligently at a forge and anvil. Thair Coalstriker sports dark auburn hair pulled back in a ponytain and his thick dwarven beard is littered with flecks of debris and dark marks of soot and the like.

"Quite a nice place you have here. Good ventilation, good views. You can see most of the town, er, sort of, from here. By chance have you seen good Captain Kefem pass by lately?

Kobolds! Annoying little dragon droppings! A look of disgust crosses his face as he walks back towards the forge and tosses another iron in the fire before turning back to Michaelis. "We’ve always had a few in the area, but they’ve really been growing more bold in recent months. Some of the traders who visited us on a regular basis have stopped making the trip, and I’m afraid more will follow if something isn’t done to drive off the foul creatures.”

He gives a motion as if to say 'well lets see the goods' and begins to look the weapons over as they are laid out on a wooden work table against the side of the shop. He picks up and inspects each weapon in turn muttering unintelligible mumbles as if talking to himself. While he begins looking over the pile of a dozen or so javelins, Michaelis asks about the guard captain, to which Thair answers: "Oh, Rond? I've been busy and ain't seen em myself, but usually about this time of day you'll find 'im at the Inn. He likes to 'ave a drink or two after a long day on shift. That man always has his hands fool, poor fella'. He finishes looking over the weapons, and pulls a small pouch of coins from beneath his apron setting a total of 20 gold pieces and 22 silver pieces onto the table and explains the prices as such:

Seeing as how everyone else is busy with other things Korran will refill his empty waterskin at the inn's well or water barrels, whichever they use to collect and store water and sit down for some lunch in the Inn's common room. Keeping Jessica in sight while also watching that new guy and the old timers sitting down for any funny business.

"Irontooth? Sounds like poor dental hygiene to me," he says, licking the sweetroll crumbs form his lips. "We may be able to help your Lord, extra coin is always welcome, but our reason in town takes priority right now." Michaelis eyes light up. "Perhaps you could help us? My old mentor, Douven Stahl, passed through this way some time ago. I expected his message of progress, and, since none has come, my friends and I came to see of his silence. So far, we've seen no sign of him. Used to be a friend of Johan Darkwood. He ran a shop here many years ago. By chance, do you remember Douven passing through?"

The guard captain nods along with Michaelis's comments and continues to nurse his ale. Regarding the questions about Douven Staul his face shows clear confusion as he tries to think back. No, I dont believe I recall anyone by that name coming through here, though thats not to say that he didnt. Between training the militia, keeping the guards on point, and running patrols of my own I'm usually a bit busy to meet everyone who comes through town. If he came though here though he most likely spoke to a shopkeeper or two, or most likely to at least miss Wrafton. He tries to get Salvana's attention and waves her over.

Eilian the Old

Still chatting about random things all the while, Eilian takes the blank page and begins to pen a small map. Its a little crude, but should suffice for a group of able-bodied adventurers. There ya go young miss! Told ya I could show you were it was. He taps one old, wrinkled fingertip on the map in a location marked with a small asterisk. "You'll want to follow the road for as long as you can, once you leave the road and head south its all wilderness from there and will be slower going.

"Well, little one," says Finn, patting her on the shoulder, "looks like you got what you need. Hope you don't mind if I tag along for this little journey, but I would still like to talk to you and your friend about a bit of a barter of services. Too late to go traipsing off into the woods tonight, so perhaps we leave in the morning. Later in the morning would be better, perhaps after breakfast and a nice smoke?"

Finishing his drink, the bard steps back and bows with a flourish. "I thank you, stalwart guardian, both for your time and your tireless dedication to this town." Clinking a gold piece on the counter he says, "Please enjoy the drinks you have earned. Good night to you, Captain."

He gestures to Salvana that he will be moving seats and invites her to join him. While he waits for her, he moves over to stand next to Korran. Nodding towards Jessica, he asks the warden, "What's she getting herself into this time? Another hard luck case? The Captain over there thinks we'll get somewhere talking to the owner, a Ms. Wrafton." As Salvana approaches, he holds out a chair at a nearby table for her to be seated.

"I have a lead here. Apparently Douven went to some Dragon Burial Site near here to explore. He has not been seen since. Elian there gave him direction to it and is worried about Douven as well. He drew us a map.", Jessica says, gesturing to the old man she just was talking to and then showing Korran and Michaelis the map he drew.

"Oh and this is Finn Bramblefoot. He has offered to help us locate Douven Stahl."

Just as Salvana is begining to relay the information in response to another query about Douven, Jessica rejoins the group and begins to explain the information she has gained from the old farmer in the corner. She introduces Michaelis, Korran, and Xilaere to a new counterpart Finn and awaits their reactions.

Salvana returns to her duties tending the bar and refilling mugs, and the wait staff continues to churn along busily as several more customers file in over the next few minutes. Outside the market is almost done being packed away, and the sun sets behind the peaks to the west of town.

He hopped up on a bar stool and motioned for another drink, giving Salvana a wink as he did. "What brings me here? Why, adventure, of course. Glory, honor, adulation. All while trying to help my fellow man....or, in the case of your little friend here, fellow girl. I could not help but overhear your purpose here and would like to help out. In return, perhaps you might help me out with something as well. A friend sent me here with reports of some sort of death cult ... ooooo, scary, I know.... operating in the area and hoped I might find out some information for her. Capable as I am, I am hardly a fool, not even for her. These types of deeds are always easier with companions. Would that be amenable to you and your group?"

"What kind of Death Cult? The kind that likes death, I would assume," he says with a small attempt at humour. He was a bit concerned about scaring the youngster.

"My dear friend Marla back in Fallcrest had some notion about a cult in the area and some maniac named....Cowbell.....Cromwell....Clarabel.....KALA REL! That was it!" He shook his head with a rueful smaile. "I love her to death, but Marla is one of those Pelorites and I think she sometimes sees the zombie around every corner. Anyway, she asked me to take a look around and see what I could find. And I found you guys. A lucky day for both of us, right?"

Acknowledging the elf, he said, "I would look to do this in the morning. If what you say about ruffians on the road is true, we would be better off to wait and make sure we have the best possible advantages. But he is your friend, so the ultimate decision is yours."

The group heads off to their rooms for the night. Michaelis and Korran in one room, and Xilaere and Jessica in one across the hall. The moon rises and falls over the small village, and the night passes peacefully and quietly. The next morning roosters begin to crow, welcoming the rising sun over the rural farmlands.

Any players who wish to do so may meet downstairs and have breakfast, which consists of two eggs, a slice of ham, and a fresh baked slice of bread at the cost of 2 silver pieces. Wrafton's Inn is considerably empty at this time of the morning, most of the towns folk are busy tending to their chores, and the traveling traders find it best to sleep in when they have a warm bed available to them. The march to the Burial Site should be about three hours, depending on the party and the wilderness. This will put you there just before midday.

Roleplay breakfast, pack up your stuff, converse, etc. 24 hours from this post if the party hasnt moved forward... I'll be pushing it foward.

Finn made his way downstairs, already fastidiously dressed, with a bright red cloak on his back. Having spent a few days in the Inn already, he knew Salvana always put forth a simple but hearty breakfast. Eating quickly until he was quite full - adventurers needed a full stomach he always said - he made his way to the front porch of the Inn and dropped into a chair. He dropped his pack and walking stick next to his chair, lifted his feet onto the porch railing and leaned back to relax while waiting for the others. If he was nervous or concerned about what the day might bring, it did not show, as he lazily whistled a few travelling songs while watching the town slowly come to life.

Finn is ready to go whenever.

Jessica is a different person now after hearing the word Kalarel. It was like a pall of anger came over her. She was silent the rest of the night and went to bed early. She cried herself to sleep that night as painful memories began to surface.

Enjoying a comfortable bed for the night is a luxury that Michaelis does not cheapen with casual sleep. He forestalls his elven-side and powers through a deep night of unfettered slumber. He wakes at a reasonable hour, dresses quickly, joins the breakfast repast. Eschewing the meat and eggs, he orders a triple portions of bread which he greatly enjoys.

Looking over, he sees Jessica deep in her spellbook, a little too deep. Her brow is furled in more than concentration. Sliding next to her, he gives her a little bump and mumbles to her, "Why the dark brood, Darkwoood?" An unclever pun, but the caring message was there.

On The Road Again

Your small group finishes up breakfast and packs up their gear, once everyone is ready you pass beneath the large stone gate on the eastern side of town and begin your journey along the road to the south. You find it in much the same condition as the Old King's Road, but the road is decent enough that you find yourselves making good time. Within the hour you should be leaving the road to head through the woods and towards the Burial Site. It is still a few hours before mid day.

The sun is warm, and there are a few scattered clouds that occasionally cloak the area in shade before slowly passing on and beyond the mountains to the west. Small breezes wisp through the trees along the road, causing a rustle of leaves accompanied by the various sounds of wildlife.

[Map Of The Road (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_uloSlbJErdEw1SzFvY2xDRHo5R2hOREdhVGM5M Hc&usp=sharing)]

"A road can be easy on the feet but uneasy on the mind." - Douven Stahl

His mentors words came back to him at an odd time. While nothing on this road alerted his senses, yet, his mind was still uneasy thinking about what Jessica had said back at the inn. Not even his usual traveling song could push out the memory. He continued chewing on the piece of sweetgrass he had picked earlier with his mouth while his mind mulled over Jessica's words.

Stalling while waiting for Jessica's response.

Jessica does not answer Michaelis but something has soured her mood somewhat. She is not trying to be rude and simply does not feel like talking. Although she is her usual alert self when they leave the town. There is definitely something nagging inside her, something that seems to be haunting her thoughts. Nonetheless she is still careful and alert, staying in the middle and near the back of the party but at least making sure there is someone covering her back.

Korran's morning routine is a blur, he moves through it quickly, almost without thought. Belting on his armor and weapons he goes out to meet everyone and joins them before they depart. As they're on the road however Jessica's sour mood snaps him out of his trance-like state. Picking up the pace for a few steps so that he's walking in time with her he says a few words before dropping back to his place in line. "Look, obviously something's bothering you but you don't have to talk about it. Just know that we got your back and we're here when you're ready."

Happy to be on the road again, Xilaere casually hums to herself as the group walks along and she keeps an eye out for possible hiding spots along the road. She picks up that something is noticeably bothering Jessica but attributes it to the ever more present fact they may soon find out Douven's fate. She has noticed a few of the others try talking to the young girl, so he figures it best not to barrage her with further interrogation. Instead she chooses to make small talk with their new company member, Finn.

"Rumors of cultists on the road you said? Thats what you were sent to investigate? She pauses briefly before continuing. "We were attacked by kobolds on our journey into town, but one could hardly mistake them to be a member of some cult..."

As the group travels along the road the find it much in the same condition as the road leading into town, tracks left in the now dry dirt hint at the mud from recent rains, and the same small scrubs and rocks dot the landscape. From the back of the group Korran scans the surrounding area but doesnt notice anything of merit thus far, a few scattered boulders and chest high bushes near the base of two seep hills on either side of the road. Xilaere notices from her vantage point at the front of the pack that there are several good hiding spaces among the rocks and bushes and remains alert and continues to move forward cautiously.

Trudging along the road, his mind kept returning to breakfast. He cared deeply for the girl, a surrogate sister he'd never had with his own family. Too be shut out from her confidence stung a little. Glancing back to check things, he sees her talking low with the warden. Part of him feels relief at her more normal behavior, but his other immature side complains loudly in his head, "Oh, but she can tell him, is that who she can talk to? Where was he when her father died? Was HE the one....."

"ENOUGH!" he says aloud. Turning to meet Xilaere's gaze as he walked, he mumbles, "Sorry. Tired of my own song I guess." Starting a new tune, he focuses back on his purpose, away from maudlin, self-indulgent thoughts from his old life.

Unless they are just the hired minions of this Kalarel person. I don't see the link, but it is an unusual coincidence."

Encounter Two : Kobold Ambush

As the group begins to round a shallow bend in the road they continue to chatter among themselves. Finn, Michaelis, and Xilaere discuss the previous attack by kobold brigands and whether may be tied to the alleged cult activity in the area. Xilaere keeps a watchful eye out for any dangers as they march along. At the rear of the gorup Korran and Jessica discuss a more somber topic regarding the past activities of the cult leader Kalarel resulting in the death of her father.

Suddenly, there is quick movement on the other side of the large clumps of bushes on each side of the road. Xilaere's keen eyes catch it first, several small shapes are moving quitely or laying in wait. As she starts starts to call out to the group, the figures leap from their hiding places screeching shrill war cries. Three of them carry longswords and shields crafted from scales much like before. One of the kobolds is dressed in black leather armor and wielding a spear and a smaller shield. The final figure, wears a helmet crafted of a carved bleach-white skull, his leather armor is dyed red and bone trinkets hang from it, rattling as it moves and thrusts its spear skyward with battle cries.

The kobolds rush through the thick bushes and the group of adventurers screeching warcries and brandishing their weapons. Two of them, one with sword and shield, the other with raised spear, rush down the road at full speed teeth bared. Two more approach through the bushes to the east of the road and bear down on the group.

"Let us end this quickly, we havent the time for these meddling fools again." mutters the elven woman as she draws her blade from her hip and points the tip of it at the approaching dragonshield to the south. "I'narr en gothrim glinuva nuin I'anor" she whispers as the blade begins to glow faintly. And with that she moves quickly along the road coming alongside Michaelis and bringing her scimitar to bear on the creature.

The kobold wearing dark leathers and brandishing a wicked spear strikes out at Xilaere just as she finishes her attack against it's ally. The spear finds a soft spot in her armor and buries deep in her side. "Diiiiiiiiiie" it shrieks madly while pulling its spear back and preparing another attack.

Taking quick stock of the battlefield, he decides a little shuffling is in order. He focuses his energies into his voice.

"Formation Cannonwall, GO!"

With the last syllable, his allies move as one with near involuntary motion while the force of his call impacts a dragonshield resoundly.

"Now," he says readying his blade, "we are ready to play."

Kobold Dragonshields

As Xilaere recoils from the blow to her side, the shield bearing kobold seizes the opportunity to strike quickly. The worn longsword sweeps down and connects with the elf's shoulder, and luckly the armor padding twarts most of the blow. Jolting pain shoots through her none-the-less and she will most likely bare a sizeable bruise. Meanwhile, the two kobolds strike from the bushes at the foe that now stands before them, however as Korran slides along guided by some unseen force neither of them are able to make purchase with their blades.

Eyebrows raised a bit at Michaelis's energetic cry, Finn decided to play along. "Sir, yes sir! Formation Cannonwall! We are a GO!"

Now.....time to introduce a little chaos into the day...without it, life would be so boring...

Finn swung his quarterstaff in a wide circle in front of him, as streaks of wild colors began to form streams out of its end, before he pointed the staff at the dragonshield. A bolt made of a myriad of colorful lights streamed toward the kobold.

"I'narr en gothrim glinuva nuin I'anor" she calls out once more and sends a jolt of radiant energy leaping towards the creature.

Seeing the wyrmpriest slowed and a bit sluggish, Finn quickly traced a small circle in front of him in the dust with his staff. The circle blazed a brilliant, firey red, before he pushed the edge of it toward the kobold. The fiery circle disappeared, before reappearing around the priest, as a blaze of fire roared up from it, engulfing the kobold caster.

As the group stand victorious over the group of kobold ambushers and treats their wounds the sound of birds in the trees slowly begins to rise again. Michaelis kneels over the final dragonshield to find it unconscious and suffering from wounds caused by the orb of acid Finn had leveled at it. Closer inspection reveals that though faint, a heartbeat alludes to the the creature still being alive.

Meanwhile Xilaereand Korran scout the area and find no traces of any more enemies lying in wait. They do find various tracks scattered about the area, weaving between the rocks and bushes, most likely from when the creatures were preparing their hiding places.

Quickly cleaning and binding his most serious wound, he hums a healing tune as he washes the remaining acid from his opponent's other wounds with a little water from his waterskin. Propping the reptile up against a nearby rock, he gives it a light slap to restore circulation to its head.

As Xilaereand Jessicastand guard over the group while they work on breathing conciousness back into the wounded kobold, Korran follows the tracks off the road. They run around between the variou positions where they lay in ambush, but eventually he finds a decernable trail leading into the woods east of the road seeming headling due east.

Though Finn is unsure how to help, Michaelis is able to treat enough of the wounds on the kobold and wash enough of the acid out that the kobold shouldnt take any further injury. After a few moments the creature coughs and sputters a few times and then opens its dark copper-colored eyes slightly and glares at the figures bent over it. It tries to scamper backwards but is uncessful in doing so. With quick, panicked, breaths the creature tries to figure out whats going on.

As the kobold awakes Xilaere keeps her weapon at the ready in case the kobold tries anything. She glances quickly to make sure Korran doesn't wander too far, but then keeps her gaze fixed on their prisoner.

Michaelis

Drawing his longsword and pointing it toward the kobold, Michaelis stands above him and growls in draconic, "<<Remain where you are, Dragonling! We seek/entreat/ask of information. What is your tribe/affiliation/group?>>"

The kobold comes to a sudden stop, still laying on the dusty ground and looking up at the people towering over it. Its eyes dart from person to person until Michaelis speaks and then it focuses on him, eyes glaring with a burning hatred. In response to the question the creature snarls slightly be otherwise remains quiet and keeps its eyes fixed on the bard.

Michaelis may choose to try diplomacy or intimidation.

If another player chooses to chime in and address the kobold they should choose one of the two as well.

Finn's eyes went wide and he stormed over to the kobold on the ground, standing over him. "Enough talking with this thing! Give me just a few mintues with him. I will get him to tell us everything he knows. You remember me, little scaly? I am the one who put that burning ball of acid in your gut....how about another one? Or maybe some fire this time? Its time for chaos, you little dirt rat!" Finn could barely contain his laughter as he continued his rant, spittle flying from his mouth.

The kobold prisoner stares up at the bard for a moment longer, its yes unblinking. It responds in draconic, its raspy voice sliding between its razor sharp teeth and hinting at the pain from its wounds. "Attack/ambush travelers is orders, so we attack/ambush. Life/well being not important, Irontooth kill for helping you." The kobold turns to Finn and snarls before spitting back insults "You rat! You die! You all die!!" He reaches for his blade while hissing menacingly.

With a final crushing blow, Michaelis fells the kobold as it reaches for its blade. A pool of dark blood begins to run along a shallow rut in the road picking up small flecks of dust as it does so.

"Well," he says, wiping the kobold from his sword yet again, "it seems this Irontooth has an iron hold on his subjects. They won't reveal him easily. Let's check what they're carrying, Maybe there's a clue among their pocket lint." He looks apologetically at Finn. "Sorry I wasn't able to find out more. There is no shortage of them out here and it sounds like they have standing orders to attack the roads. We may find a more agreeable one before too long."

Finn Bramblefoot

Finn hopped nimbly to his feet and brushed the road dust off his leggings. Nodding at Michaelis, he responded, "No, that was more my fault." He added a small grin. "Guess I am just too charming and good looking to intimidate anyone, even a little rat like that. He likely didn't know much anyway, so no great loss. And at least we have a name now. I would like to take a look at the tracks, but only after we have rescued your friend. The number of these kobolds in the area is a bit worrisome."

Finn began helping Michaelis examine the corpses, careful to keep his clothes clear of any blood or charred flesh.

On The Road

Korran rejoins the group as Michaelis begins to sift through the armor of the shamanistic kobold and Finn begins to check one of the shield-bearing creatures, though he's visibly more cautious in doing so. Zhuge and Tengar stand watch nearby, but at any moment may choose to assit in looting any of the five kobold corpses.

While Michaelis bends over the Wyrmpriest he examines the crumpled body of the fallen ritualist. Its armor is mostly crude rags and bone, serving no real benefit to the adventurers, but a few coins of gold are found in a small ratty pouch slung over its shoulder, and its spear seems sturdy enough to be used in a pinch. After a closer examination of the effigies and trinkets, Michaelis finds a necklace tucked beneath its tunic; a chain necklace from with dangles a small dragon figurine of carved obsidian, closer inspection finds that on the bottom there is an outline etching of a skull with ram's horns.

Finn searches through the dragonshield's belonging and finds a few coins in the pocket of its leather armor. The creature was brandishing a shortsword that, while a bit dirty and sporting a few nicks in the blade, is still very much a sound weapon. It also carried a dragonscale which had been turned into an improvised shield via two leather straps.

"Little tools for little hands. Won't do us much good, though," he thinks looking over the diminutive armaments. The necklace catches his eye, but, after a brief look, doesn't seem significant to him. "Zhuge, what do you make of this? Death cult or fashion forward?" he says, tossing the necklace to the wizard. As he waits for the wizard's response, he looks over the other bodies for anything worth saving.

Religion Check
[roll0]

I have no need of any of the gear. Since we keep getting ambushed I will go a little ahead of the party discreetly to see if I notice anything. When we get close enough to see the pit, why don't you wait a bit so I can see if I can find out what we will face so the fight will be easier?

Basically, he plans to start out now moving slowly taking full stealth checks but once the party sets out he will move at normal speed making stealth checks with a minus five penalty. If he sees any enemies and/or after he reaches the pit he will come back to warn the party. Since I don't know how far it is and hence how many checks you need I am rolling 1 at full stealth and 3 at a -5 to reflect his speeding up about 3-5 minutes in so that he doesn't slow the others down. The final short distance he will slow down so that he is less likely to be seen. This will be when he is within sight of the pit or returning to the party if he sees enemies. I am posting perception checks also.

With a -5 Penalty to stealth

"Lot of junk for a bunch of rats. But, you never know if those folks back in town might have use for it. Might be able to turn the sword into a plow or hammer or something useful."

Finn watched Zhuge for a reaction as he examined the necklace, wondering if this might finally be proof of his mission.

On The Road

As Zhuge examines the necklace the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he realizes the crude scratches bear a resemblance to the insignia of Orcus, demon prince, and lord of the undead. He is rumored to be one of the most powerful demons in the Abyss - powerful enough to threaten gods. The demon prince is a foul and corpulent humanoid creature who has powerful goat legs and a desiccated head similar to that of a ram while a pair of great wings stir up a reeking cloud of diseased air around him and his thick, spiny tail is in constant motion.

The necklace however does not appear to have any magical properties, and looks to be solely for ceremonial and status purposes.

Michaelis looks over the other bodies and finds the other two draonshields to be carrying more or less the same gear as the one Finn had searched. The final corpse, that of the skimisher, lays on the ground near Tengar and Korran. If searched the party will find a sturdy wooden spear, a set of dark leather armor and a light shield made of metal.

As Zhuge examined the necklace closely, Finn impatiently walked over and stood at his elbow to take a look at the same time.

"So, what are we looking at here? Some big fat guy with a tail? Looks like a ugly ram mated with an even uglier goat and this was what was formed out of the junk left over at birth. Death cult member or a kobold with a really strange fetish?"

I know you are looking to scout ahead, but I wanted to make sure we covered this knowledge at some point. Sorry to jump in between the action.

Zhuge winces as he looks at the necklace: This is an amulet for the demon orcus. He is a demon prince and has power over the undead. The necklace is harmless but it means that we may have found that death cult we were looking for. Orcus is extremely powerful, I only hope that this group only worships him and does not gain any power from him.

Looking stern at the wizard's words, he says, "This gives us even more reason to follow Korran's found prints, but we need to find Douven or his trail before it grows colder. Finn, can we ask you to come with us to the pit before we track your death cult? Your wild magic compliments Tengar's wild maul and there may be yet more battle ahead."

The Burial Site

As the group tidies up the corpses and removes anything of value from them, Zhuge sets out ahead of the group and scouts in the direction of the rumored dragon burial site. He leaves rutted road and begins their trek into the unknown wilderness to the southeast.

For the first half hour or so they are able to navigate around small clumps of trees and short, but steep, cliffsides dotted with large boulders. After which the trees start to become more and more bunched together, and the land begins to rise and fall, all the while the hills to the east grow taller and taller. There are no mountains, but the large hills of Gardbury Downs dominate the horizon in that direction anytime a break in the trees can be found. On his journey the he encounters random sightings of wildlife and crosses a few game trails, but doesn't encounter any beasts that would pose a threat. The rest of the party encounters much of the same as they move through the wilderness two dozen or so minutes behind him.

Finally, they begin to near the point on the map that had been drawn by the old farmer in town and Zhuge finds himself in a small clearing, the sounds of voices can be heard somewhere in the distance confirming that they must be near their destination. He peaks through a line of trees and sees a large steep-sided crater punctures the wilderness. Near the center of the depression, several humanoid figures cluster around a collection of bones. Two small, dragonlike creatures near the crater rim stand alert. Moving any closer to the crater may alert them of your presence.

The group will arrive at the crater about 25 minutes or so after Zhuge's arrival, or unless he turns around and meets back up with them before they arrive. Everyone my retcon RP during the journey if they so desire.

Zhuge relaxed as he moved through the woods, this was where he enjoyed himself. Up ahead he spotted the pit they wanted but it looked to have at least two guards and several people clustered around the body. He didn't want to move closer lest he be seen but did his best to see if he could recognize any elements of what they were doing. Perception Check [roll0] Let me know if I can see clearly enough to roll arcana or religion checks if needed to identify actions and I will roll them. After looking at what they were doing and trying to identify it for a few minutes. Zhuge set off as discreetly as he came to rejoin the party. When he reached them he prepared to fill them in on what he had seen and his ideas. Waiting on check results and questions asked OOC, will post next one IC as soon as I hear.

Zhuge didn't know what was going on in the pit but doubted it was something he wanted to see succeed. He moved quietly away from the clearing till he reached a safe distance to move normally then headed back to the party. He was surprised at how far back they were, he would have to stay closer to the party next time. He reaches the party when they are about ten minutes walk away from the pit.

"The pit is about ten minutes away. I got a brief glimpse of it. They have about 8 people there including two drakes guarding the rim and the rest in the pit doing something around the dragon's bones. If we
are careful we might be able to catch them by surprise."

Zhuge is now back with the party as they approach the pit.

"What kind of people? Did you see Dourven? I don't mind getting set tactically, but let's see if we can get some information peacefully. They may have a legitimate reason for being out there. Watch the drakes! If they are patrolling and attack on sight, that may be an indicator that we're dealing with looters. Again, information is our first goal, not immediate slaughter," he turns and wags a finger at Tengar, "but be ready, in case of later needed slaughter." He looks over the group once more. "All ready? Let's take it slow. Zhuge, let us know when we reach sight of the drake patrol."

ZHUGE

I did not see Douven but I did see four humans that looked like petty criminals with one gnome that looked to be in charge and two drakes. I think there was someone in the woods on the far side as well.

Talking is normally good but the drakes looked alert and I can't help thinking of that death cult and wondering if they might want dragon bones.

Zhuge led them up to where he had seen the drakes from.

There they are. Now if you will excuse me a minute I would rather not be the center of attention.

Zhuge took a few minutes to move himself to the side and conceal himself as best he could. The bard could talk and maybe he was right, maybe it was a coincidence that others were here and Douven wasn't. On the other hand, if Michaelis was wrong he wanted to be in a position to help and not get hit doing so. He personally felt that it was better to give than to receive and found the best way to not receive unwanted things was to be inconspicuous.

Stealth check to hide and move to X21 as the closest cover. [roll0]

Finn looked over at Michaelis. "You want to make the approach or should I? I may not know Douvan by sight, but I do have a certain way with people. Just ask that last kobold." Finn could not resist finishing with a smile, although he was already asking himself why he volunteered to put himself in harm's way for someone he had never met....guess Marla was rubbing off on him a bit more than he realized.

Finn is glad to take point with diplomacy, as long as the others are very close behind. Or he can aid Michaelis or someone else who wants to initiate the conversation. Either one is fine with him.

The Burial Site

The group arrives at the burial site shortly after meeting up with Zhuge once more. They find the area exactly as he described: A steep-sided crater punctures the wilderness, its dirt walls fresh from recent excavation over the last several months. Three slopes lead down into the center of the depression, where several humanoid figures cluster around a collection of bones. Two small, dragonlike creatures near the crater rim stand alert and stare at your approach.

Zhuge is able to deftly break away from the group and take cover among the dead trees nearby, but the drakes have caught wind of the other adventurers and watch as they near the crater. One of the figures below, the gnome, who appears to be overseeing the operation notices this, and calls out: "You cant fully appreciate what we've uncovered from up above. Come down towards the dragon bones and see what the works have discovered!" He motions you down with a wave of his hand over his head.

Actions!
