Episode 1: Festival and Fire

I think Butler's idea is probably the best one. I'll join him.

Rolling Athletics.

"Skr'Ar," Darakar cursed before racing to follow Butler's example.

'This would have been much easier, and more fun, if I got to throw the short one,' he thought to himself as he lifted the bucket.

'May the spirit of Raskrin aid me; may Wolyn guide me to greater knowings; may Temdor grant rains in times of drought and sun in times of deluge,' and so on the traditional prayer went in his mind, the familiar words bringing a sense of calmness now that the rush of battle had ended.

I'll join Butler and Alaric in using Athletics to carry buckets of water.

You work hard and starts a bucket brigade to save the building. Aery is great help in figuring out where to best utilize your efforts. By the time the rest of the citizen arrives to help out, you've already stopped the fire with minimal damage to the building. One wall need to be replaced and some furniture has suffered smoke damage. But your heroic deeds has saved a lot of lives.

Amiko Kaijitsu, owner of the Rusty Dragon, offers you all room and board for however long your stay in town is. There's even talk about hosting a new festival in your honor.

The noble man you saved seems to be especially impressed by Darakar. "I know I can never really repay you for saving my life," he tells the half-orc. "But I may have an idea about how to start. I will contact you at the Rusty Dragon tomorrow."

The equipment you find on the goblins would barely pass muster in a garbage dump, which is where you realize they've gotten the material. Seems the goblins have a tendency to steal from a place called junk beach. That's why their swords have above average chance of breaking apart and their armor is non existent. You do however find 3 of the small bombs they seemed to throw at you.

Seems it's just to light the fuse and throw them quickly. Far beyond the level of goblin craftmanship as far as you know.

Aery, as you check the bodies, you realize that they all have different clan markings. There seems to be several groups of goblins, at least four that you find. These would normally not work together. One of the reasons the goblins aren’t a bigger problem in these parts, is that they are usually too busy infighting between the different tribes.Returning to the cathedral you find the kid sleeping next to his sister. "Poor guy was exhausted. I’ve done what I can do for them," father Zanthus says. "Her illness has progressed far, and I’m hoping Calistra’s prayers will be heard."

Alaric, you are able to make out what looks like goblins moving eastwards. Though once they reach the Ravenroost Mountains and Tickwood forest it’s impossible to track them from the air. The town is nothing but unsafe openings, no city walls or barricades at all. With the fear of goblins, the Sheriff gets the help from the local militia, a bunch of farmers to walk the perimeter. They have no discipline and no training however, so you can spot several openings. They don’t seem comfortable getting too far away from each other.
