Chapter One: Greenest in Flames!

As you leave town, you find that the trail of the raiders is pretty easy to follow. In addition to the numerous tracks left behind by the raiders, after a few miles you can see the smoke of a cookfire off in the distance. It doesn't look like it's enough smoke to support the meals of the number of raiders you know left town, but it is off in the same direction and may be related.

Having left early in the morning, and only being a few miles out, you'd estimate the time to be around 11 in the morning. The smoke from the fire would appear to be between four and six miles away from your current location.

You move along for some time, trying to close ground to the smoke from the fire. As you get close, you see a small outcropping of rock that you could probably climb up to get a better vantage point on the apparent camp. From the distance of the smoke, you'd estimate you are merely 80 yards from the camp. Moving to the rocks would take you within about 60 yards.

Climbing to the top of the outcropping is not hard, as it's not a straight vertical climb. Bughu reaches the top and can see, about 30 feet below and 180 feet out, a group of eight kobolds and four humans. They don't look like a rear guard; more likely they are stragglers behind the main force.

The group of people below look to be lightly armed, with only a couple of obvious crossbows among them as well as a mix of other basic weapons; spears, clubs, and a couple of short swords.
