HotDQ - Marpenoth 23, 1489 DR

Your rest is broken after only a short hours rest. It is just past midnight when a guard rushes in to wake you.

"Please, come quick, the attackers have broken into the keep. They have forced open the Sally Port and have rushed in. We need reinforcements.

The young guard is terrified looking as he waits for you to awaken!

Kel stands up from the chair he was in and kicks any laggards awake before rushing off with the guard. "Enough of that, you can sleep tomorrow!"

Harold's head still a bit fuzzy from the abrupt waking, he grabs his stuff, cinching it all in place, then drawing his longbow and an arrow, and heads with Kel towards the Sally Port to aid the keep.

Actaeon, who remained quiet on the endeavor back to the keep, wakes up on his favorite resting area, the nice cool ground. he puts his quiver and longbow back on to get ready to jump back into action.

Responding to the alarums and lighting of torches, the shaman collects his staff and spears and charges toward the sounds of battle. He summons a sphere of flame into his right hand, holding it aloft to light his way.

As the group emerges from there place of rest they are immediately greeted by Castelan the Red.

"There you all are. Some of the raiders have made it into the keep. My people have things under control with them. Unfortunately the Sally Port has been compromised. I need you all to re-secure the room until we can find someone to fix the opening. Head there quickly."

Re: HotDQ - Marpenoth 23, 1489 DR

You make your way in the direction Castellan points you. As you get to the entrance of the Sally Port you are met by a tall, lithe, imposing human, who would tower over most. He has a sharp, hawk-like nose and bright black eyes. His hair is long, sleek, and jet and his skin, where visible, is olive and still tinged with the blood of youth. He is a man of the swamps, wearing ocher and kaolin paint on his face and body, as is the tradition of a shaman of his stature.

He wears a hide jacket and leather leggings as customary to his nation. Slung over his shoulder is a hide drum... or shield, hard to identify, and he carries a long staff in his left hand. A long quiver of javelins and spears shakes quietly on his back. His chest is adorned with amulets, charms, strings of river mussel shells, and tiny bird skulls. The middle of his chest is adorned with an ornate wampum chestplate, strung with hand-drilled beads of turquoise and ivory. About his neck, hangs a satchel of herbs. On his shoulder is a chirping crow.

"This way!" the tall shaman directs, holding a sphere of flame up high so that the others can see the safest path into combat.

He sprints in the direction of the sally port, determined to stem the flow of the invaders as quickly as possible.

OOC:

Using the dash action to close the distance as quickly as possible. Rabal will summon his hawk totem and move it ahead of his path, providing advantage with some perception abilities, though probably only taking away disadvantage for spotting the foe.

The tall Druid takes the lead and enters the Sally Port. As you ascend a short set of stairs and turn a corner you pass through an open set of doors and see before you 4 kobolds, a humonoid wearing a ceremonial looking headgear and he is accompanied by a four legged lizard like creature with a long thick tail that bears the resemblance of a dragon but is the size of and walks like a wolf.

Oraten appears to be locked in a trance and unresponsive.

The last kobold steps forward and stabs at Bartholomew...the small creature manages to get through Bart’s defenses and manages to just barely make contact (-3)

The humanoid mumbles a few words and makes a hand movement and a divine energy glows about him for a moment before fading. He then changes his focus and continues moving his hands and directions his words now at Kel.

Re: HotDQ - Marpenoth 23, 1489 DR

The Crowheart raises an eyebrow at Harold's words, perhaps wondering how someone with only martial training could know about such things.

Then, looking to the problem at hand, he raises his arms and gestures wildly, chanting deep, rhythmic syllables over and over, until gradually, the roots and vegetation, hiding beneath the soil and flagstones of the old courtyard, begin to reach up from the ground nearest the gates. From here, they climb and writhe, horribly, hungrily, reaching up and across, intertwining themselves through and around the split and shattered boards of the doors, weaving them together with tight bands of vines and twisted branches. The woody, black growth rapidly develops verdant leaves and soon covers the whole sally port, as though it were a huge, decorative trellis.

OOC:

Entangle used creatively. Unfortunately, as strong is it most certainly will be, it is not at all permanent. The door needs real repairs done fast...

Rabal directs the vines to grow up under the door and climb up the outside surface, leaving the inside faces of the door accessible for repairs, barring, or a mending enchantment.

OOC:

The twenty foot square could be placed directly under and behind the sally port, plugging up the space between the port and the outside world. Someone else will have to find someone to assist with the door as Rabal must concentrate.

"Go to the top of the wall, Flent" Rabal commands his crow.

"Corn!" it retorts saucily before launching off the tall man's shoulder in a whisper of dry, glossy feathers. Flying to the area atop the wall, it surveys the land beyond.

Rabal adjusts his spirit totem, providing the familiar with enhanced perception. His eyes seem to roll back in his head, showing only the whites below as he focuses through the bird's sight.

Actaeon chuckles to himself for a moment, Excuse me everyone, but I see this as the perfect opportunity to make light of the night. he pulls out a piece of clothing from his pack, and wraps it like a blindfold around Cruvis' head, and ties it. Something simple, but hopefully it bring us a good laugh if he thinks he's gone blind.

With that 4 kobolds and 4 humanoids appear just outside the still damaged and open Sally Port. The Kobolds attempt to make their way through the now difficult terrain created by Rabal's Entangle spell. Two of the kobolds (3+4) launch sling bullets at the Dragonborn standing in the middle of the room.

Harold's arrow bounces off the stonework of the Sally Port frame.

Rabal stands his ground and readies a cantrip if any attackers should make it through the Sally Port.

The two Kobolds step forward to attack Bartholomew wielding Daggers. Bart dodges the first one and deflects the second with his shield.

The cultists begin pushing their way into the Sally Port, Rabal launches a ball of flame at the first one in the doorway. C1 attacks Bart with his Scimitar, the blade bouncing off the Paladin's Shield.

C3 joins in on the attack, his sword managing to find a weak spot in Bart's defenses. The blood is beginning to poor from Bart pretty steadily as the last of the cultist shakes off the fire from Rabal and slashes with his weapon as well. The blade cuts through spaces in the armor and now Bartholomew, the mighty Dragonborn Paladin, is looking quite rough.

The cultist turns to run and Bartholomew's sword cuts him across his throat. He takes another step forward before falling to the ground as the rest the invaders flee.

Bartholomew steps back into the Sally Port and a load ROAR is heard from above and the keep itself begins to shake. Bart turns around just in time to see pieces of the keep parapet fall to the ground in front of the Sally Port where BArt was standing just seconds before. The rubble effectively closed off the Sally Port. However screams and shouting can be heard from outside the room you are in.

Before any of you have a chance to act further you feel waves of fear come over you upon seeing the dragon. (Everyone make A wisdom saving throw)

Watching, you can tell that the dragonappears to be only reluctantly attacking the towers and can likely be driven off with a good hit or two, unwilling to risk his own skin. However, any successful attack that doesn't drive him off is likely to focus his quite lethal attention on you. Driving him off now would save hundreds of lives and the surviving guards would make life that much more difficult for the cultists. What do you want to do?"

From out the keep tower you see the Dwarf Captain Escobert the Red. He spots your group and comes running up to you.

"This bloody Dragon is fucking murdering our men on the parapets. One of our scouting groups was able to capture one of the mercenaries working with the Dragon cult. He was pretty talkative though after some "convincing" by yours truly, he says that the dragon's name is Lennithon and that it apparently wasn't very keen on joining this venture that the Cult is on. Lennithon was to be used primarily as added intimidation, which is clearly working by all the scared shitless men up there. I think if we can get a few good shots on this bastard it will flee. The merc says it has no interest in fighting and that its likely that the leader, some bitch named Frulam Mordath, ordered the Dragon to make some sort of final attack. Can you get up there to try and help my men drive it off?

Rabal's heart is in his throat, a suffocating fear that tries to strangle him and presses his feet to move in the opposite direction from his heart. He has never truly felt fear before and so this is the most unnerving feeling he has ever experienced. So, once he recovers from this weakness he has never known, the emotion has to go somewhere - anger!

Flying into a bloodcrazed rage, the Crowheart lets out an ululating warcry and sprints to the top of the parapets. From here, he launches a sphere of fire at the flying blue reptile that has incensed his rage so much.

The group makes their way up top and launches their attacks at the menacing Blue Dragon Lennithon. Unfortunately all save one are unable to connect with their attempts, still shaking off the fear effect. Harold's arrow hits its mark and sticks in the huge Dragon's scaly side, though it appears unaffected by its presence.

Following the lightning strike, those still standing launchbanother futile barrage of attacks at the beast. Kel and Bartholomew manage to hit their target. Kel’s Firebolt visibly singes a portion of Lennithon’s scaly wings while a javelin from Bart sticks into the dragons leg. Lennithon let’s out a roar and angrily speaks while glaring at you, "This bores me. I have no time for this nonsense." The huge dragon flaps its wings and takes off into the night sky.

Lennithon has disappeared out of range and out of sight in the dark night sky.

Also - Need CONSTITUTION SAVING THROWS FROM EVERYONE!

With the dragon's departure a collective breath is let out within the keep. Though the raid continues outside.

It appears that the injured have been tended to as amazingly few were injured and only two killed by the deadly lighting breath.

The party makes its way down from the top of the keep, wiping sweat from their brow as they are beginning to grow weary from the long evening.

Governor Nighthill quickly approaches you as soon as you reach the courtyard area. "I can't thank you all enough for what you have done for this town today. But unfortunately I must ask more of you. The guards have spotted a new threat. Raiders are trying to set fires to the town's mill. If it burns, we'll lose our stockpile of flour and we won't be able to grind more for months. I'm, trying to assemble enough defenders from here in the keep to defend it through the rest of the night, but that will take time. You'd do us a great service if you could get to the mill quickly and drive away the raiders before they can set it aflame. You'll need to defend it until our force arrives to take over, but it shouldn't be more than fifteen minutes behind. We also found out the raiders managed to set fire to the sanctuary, they then broke into it and killed many of the people that were barricaded inside. Only a handful made it out safely. We cannot afford to suffer these tragedies for much longer. Will you continue to aid us?"

In response to Harold's request Governor Nighthill turns to a nearby guard, "Son, grab me a quiver of arrows, quickly!" The young guard nods and takes off. While waiting for the man to return you watch as Nighthill draws a crude map of Greenest in the dirt at their feet. Showing the curve of the river he shows where the tunnel exits the keep near the river bank and then the mill in relation. Returning after only a few moments with a quiver filled with 20 arrows, the guard hands it off to the Governer who takes it and hands it over to Harold.

Continuing along towards the Mill you eventually arrive to find a simple rectangular barn, roughly 40 ft long and 20 feet wide with an attached smaller office on the front exterior. The long side of the building facing towards you and away from the stream has barn doors and a two-part door, and the two short walls have windows. All these openings are closed.

You can hear the noise of the mill wheel still turning. The millers must have fled in a hurry when the raid began.

A few small fires are burning around the building as you spot 3 humanoid figures attempting to light the building on fire.

The 5 guards look around at each other somewhat stunned to see one of their own climb in through the window, they seem to get ready to descend the stairs but look to the Cultist at the other end, clearly leading the group.

The Cultist immediately asks, why did you just climb the outside of the barn? Where are the ones outside?

Actaeon finishes climbing into the loft after they start heading downstairs, takes off the mask, carefully putting it away, and takes out his trusty bow, nocking an arrow, and readies to fire as soon as the counter-ambush is triggered. Though, he focuses harder than usual, and quietly mutters the words of a magic he's learned to use on the leader of this group, marking him for prey as soon as the fight starts.

Actaeon

Seeing as you will be at the top of the order Actaeon Harold and Kel can take two full turns right now (Surpise round 1 and round 2)

The Ranger wastes no time, firing a deadly shot and dropping the leader as the arrow passes through the back of his skull. Acting quickly, Actaeon moves his spell and follows up with another pinpoint strike taking out the rear guard.

Bart’s sword swings at the air as the enemy avoids the strike.

Kel’s dagger swipe makes contact drawing blood. Upon casting the Sleep spell Guards 1,2 and 4 fall to the ground under the effects of the spell. (The purple square was the area of effect- the tokens with purple boarder are Unconscious and fall to the ground)

Harold takes out the last standing guard with his bow.

I would not say that I exclusively do that no...but it does happen if I am in a position to see the post and react to it and don't think about giving the other players a chance then yeah it can happen, like today...tbh I sometimes just don't think about giving the other pcs a chance, not because thats what I intend to do but because I hopped on...saw the post...and reacted...not saying that is good at all but just what I did/do, I am not trying to step on other pcs and I understand that sometimes I can move things along too fast with other pcs that are more active than others...

In this instance I think its perfectly reasonable to say that Harold walked up to the guy and slit his throat completely to your guys dismay and you all were so surprised by his actions that you did not react in time to save him...HOWEVER...if its a big deal I am willing to rewind the situation and delete posts back to his declaration and go from there.

You return to the keep uneventfully but are immediately met by the fiery haired Dwarf, Castellan Escobert.

We've got good news and bad. The good news is it looks like the majority of the raider's forces have begun to withdraw from the town. It looks like we may make it through this. As he says this though, he lowers his head briefly before continuing, Follow me.

Escobert leads you back up to the top of the parapet and points towards the west and slightly south towards a glow in the sky,
The church didn't fair so well though. About 20 minutes after you all left to save the mill we saw it. The bastards lit the whole damned building on fire. We don't know if there were any survivors but we know there were at least 2 dozen folks holed up in there.

As he is about to continue one of the guards runs near and says, Castellan! Come quickly!

From the darkness, a creature strides in to the dim light of the dying fires around the keep. Although it is shaped roughly like a human, it is at least seven feet tal, its skin is covered in blue scales, its fingers bear wicked claws, and its face has the muzzle and reptilian eyes of a dragon. The creature stops about eighty yards from the main gate of the keep and scans the walls. A line of kobolds fans out behind it. With their spears, they prod four human prisoners in to the dim light. You can make out a woman, a teenage boy in a blood-soaked tunic, and two children. Then the half-dragon creature hails the keep.

Defenders of Greenest! This has been a successful night, and I am feeling generous. Do you see these four pitiful, useless prisoners? We have no need for them, so I will trade them back to you. Send out your best warrior to fight me, and you can have these four in exchange.

Escobert tells a pair of guards to restrain him quickly.

What are you doing? Thats my sister! My nephews!

Castellan attempts to calm him down when Governor Nighthill appears, speaks briefly with the Shield Dwarf and then turns his attention back to you.

Sergeant Markguth, though brave, is not in his right mind to attempt this fight for his family and would surely die. My friends, you've demonstrated your prowess all through this frightful night.

The blue half-dragon scoffs at the Dragonborn in front of him.

This is all you’ve got. An afterthought of a false god. This will be easier then I thought.

Langdedrosa steps forward wielding a great sword and wearing splint mail armor. He stands, sword in hand, at the ready. Your move metal joke.

OOC:

He is allowing you to take the first swing as it were. However he is taking the dodge action to start. Bart you may go.

Just so everyone is aware. The prisoners are being held by a large group of kobolds and look ready to kill them if necessary. It would not look advisable to try anything without being willing to risk their lives.

As Bart is about to exit the Keep, he is stopped by Bertram, one of the Clerics rescued earlier in the evening. He grabs the brave Dragonborn and says, Son, you don't look so hot, let me help you out. Bertram holds his holy symbol and casts Cure Wounds (Heals 10HP)

Bartholomew nods his thanks for the heal and approached the half-dragon. The walk is a long and lonely one, but he tells himself it must be done. He feels no need to make small talk, and the attempted insult rolls off his back. After all, he’s had to deal with enough insults from his comrades. He feels prepared for the ordeal.

When the half-dragon invites him to attack he doesn’t hesitate... he mutters a quick prayer to Bahamut (ooc: bonus action, shield of faith +2 AC) and swings his blade that simply has seen too much action recently...

The Blue Half-dragon cockily attempts to sidestep Bartholomew’s swing. The blade catches him with the blunt edge of the blade against his armor. Not doing much physical damage, the Paladin showing clear signs of his exhaustion from the evenings activity, it still seems to have taken the cult leader somewhat by surprise. He gives Bart a little smirk before turning towarss the keep and addresses those watching. You disappoint me. Sending this wyrmling out to fight me. He turns back to Bart and says Care to try again? He stands there waiting your advance.

OOC:

I added the disadvantage to my previous post. You can add rolls without the previous rolls changing. Sorry it confused you, boss.

Bartholomew is frustrated at the antics of the leader, and says so. "You call me out to fight you and then jump around like a cowardly jester. Stand and fight if you have any honor." Bartholomew has been a soldier for a long time and he recognizes he is being toyed with. The fact that the foe is heavily armored and is attempting to dodge his blows is a cowardly way to fight, and the paladin knows he has slim chance of striking him. Nonetheless, he accepted the challenge and how he behaves now is a matter of honor. Not to mention he promised to protect the village. He swings his sword again hoping for a lucky strike guided by Bahamut.

BOOOM

A loud clap of thunder is heard as Bart strikes at Langdedrosa. The blade hitting the half-dragon's arm, causing him to stumble back 10' feet and fall to the ground. A cheer erupts from those watching atop the keep.

Now with his pride bruised, along with his body, Langdedrosa climbs back to his feet and charges at Bartholomew with a roar and fury as he unleashes a surge of attacks.

Bartholomew is now shocked at the abilities of this creature. That flurry of blows was like what his master used to use. This time it seems there is nothing Bahamut can do about it. He mutters a quick prayer of thanks to Bahamut for his support and attacks once more, hoping to send a message to the village and his companions that no matter what the odds, never give up.

The first strike connects and Bartholomew's eyes roll back in his head as he slumps motionless to the ground, the second swing catching only air.

Breathing heavily, Langdedrosa takes a few steps back now and motions for the kobolds to release the prisoners, who immediately run towards the keep.

Thank you Greenest, its been a pleasure. With that the last of the raiders retreat en masse from the town into the darkness, marching away toward the southeast.

Once back on his feet Governor Nighthill approaches Bartholomew, Thank you son, you saved those peoples lives at risk of your own. Its not much but please take these as a personal thank you. The Governor hands Bartholomew Two (2) potions of Healing.

Even after some of his wounds being healed Bartholomew is still wounded so lays hands on himself. "I really must rest. It has been a long day, Sah."

He seeks out his comrades. "I need to sleep..." He turns to Harold. ...and you need to turn yourself in to Governor Nighthill like we agreed."

You all receive the effects of a long rest. Your level of exhaustion is removed Hit points/spells and other abilities restored. You however only restore a max of 1 of your used Hit die.

As a side note...moving forward I'm going to apply a level of exhaustion for anyone that has to make a death saving throw...you will receive 1 level of exhaustion for each incident in which you go unconcious and are required to roll at least 1 death saving throw. This will make getting knocked unconcious have a little more impact in the game. If we find that it becomes to have too much of an impact on the game I will consider removing the home brew rule. For now we will be testing it out...I'm going to be applying it to all games I'm running for the foreseeable future.

Harold typically is not one to succumb to the authority of a hard ass like Bart, but due to his display of heroics the precious night, he walks himself quickly to the governor and explains the situation about slitting the throat of the sleeping cultist. His voice reveals no remorse or qualm.

Depending on what that man decides, he will (hopefully) go and replenish his arrows again, get some provisions, and then approach the group again to determine how they will pursue these assholes to exact revenge for their mass carnage.

In the warm light of day, Governor Nighthill and other leaders want to know who was behind the attack on Greenest, and why the town was a target. The raiders retreated toward the southeast, and their trail is easy to spot. A small, stealthy group could follow the trail to the raiders' camp and gather information. Governor Nighthill approaches you with a proposal.

If youlocate the raiders' camp and find out some information, I can pay you 250 gp apiece. I want to know where the camp is sited, how many raiders are there, who their leaders are, what's motivating these attacks, and where they plan to strike next. If you recover valuables that were stolen from the town, I would like them returned. Recovering treasure, however, is a lesser goal when compared to the other objectives

Gonna roll for the number of sets of armor they find
Studded Leather: 1d4-1 sets
Splint Mail: 1d2 (1 yes 2 no)

The rations are scrounged up and also provided.

As far as weapons go they have at their disposal any item found within the players handbook weapon or adventuring gear table that is 25GP or less. Anything better was either looted or just not present in the town.

Rolls

Sets of Studded Leather - (1d4-1)

(3) - 1 = 2

splint Mail - (1d2)

(1) = 1

A young man walks up to you, limping heavily on his bandaged left leg. I hear that you intend to follow the raiders and see where they've gone. I'd like nothing better than to come with you, but in this condition, I'd slow you down. In the midst of all this tragedy, there's no reason you would have heard about the fate of my master, Leosin Erlanthar, but it's important you know. He is a monk from Berdusk. He disappeared last night, after we fought a particularly savage battle against raiders. A few others and I fought our way to the keep, barely. Leosin didn't make it at all. We went back this morning to look for him, but all we found was his broken staff and this choker, which he always wore.

The monk's name is Nesim Waladra. After introductions are made, he continues.

Leosin has been investigating these raiders for months. I fear that he might have tried to infiltrate their group when they retreated, or worse, was captured and carried away as a prisoner. No one understands these bandits better than he does, and his knowledge will be invaluable against them. When you find their camp, please look for any sign that Leosin is there. One of my brothers has already departed for Berdusk to bring back help, but it will be many days before help arrives. Anything you can do before then would be a godsend

Harold takes his leather armor off and exchanges it for one of the sets of studded leather armor. He takes the 6 days' rations, and if no one else will take them, he will take up to 10. He also takes a rapier, and fills his quiver to have 40 arrows.

The young monk describes Leosin as a slender half-elf man with dark hair and a beard. He hands you the choker that, upon closer inspection, is a braided leather neckband with a silver dragon design chased into the leather. The ends are ragged, as if it was roughly torn off. Nesim says this should prove your authenticity.

The raiders' path is easy to follow across the rolling grassland of the Greenfields. A wide swath of grass is trampled down, but it's impossible to determine the raiders' numbers precisely. The path only confirms what characters already know: there were a lot of them, and they were a mix of humans, kobolds, and trained reptiles.

Actaeon, Harold and Serenity - As you take a look at the tracks of the Raiders you start to pick up on the fact that many of the beasts footprints are deeper on the retreat than they were on the approach march.

After observing for a few minutes you discern the group consists of four human cultists and eight kobolds. The kobolds carry their weapons on their belts while the humans weapons are stacked up next to a rock out of east reach.

A few minutes pass and the kobolds take their share of the half cooked meal and move away from the fire. The humans squabble over how to properly cook a hen and periodically make comments about their "useless kobold allies".

After spying the group out, Harold will sneak back and tell the group what he saw. He says, Sah Bartholomew, you should rush in headlong, while Actaeon and I shoot our foes from a distance.

The humans seem to have placed their weapons togetheroff to the side. I think something magical should happen to those weapons.
We should keep one of the cultists alive, whereas we should kill off the kobolds.

Quickly now.

He walks slowly, stands about 60 feet away, and waits to hear the armor-clad knight rush into the fray before he launches two arrows.

He pauses as he considers the proposal, then shrugs.

"Sounds fun, Sah. Let’s do it."

Bartholomew approaches as close as he can and then dashes forwards mustering whatever stealth he can.

Dodging both Harolds strikes with unexpected nimbleness, the humanoid counter attacks with his club and then quickly removes a small mirror from his pocket and casts a spell on himself. He is too worried about casting the spell and the club attack is completely ineffective.

Actaeon joins the fray by first casting Hunters Mark on Bartholomew's opponent. He then knocks an arrow and looses it at the same target. Unfortunately the arrow flies wide of its intended mark.

The Guard thrusts his spear with both hands at the Dragonborn in his face. The spear finds a weak point in the Paladin's armor (8 damage)

4 & 5 swarm Bartholomew and attack with Scimitars. The noble Dragonborn masterfully parry's and blocks the onslaught.

Serenity takes the Dodge action this round.

7 disengages from Harold and moves away from the fray.

Actaeon takes aim at 9 with his bow, the arrow impales the man's eye and he stands for a moment, frozen, before collapsing into Bartholomew. Actaeon then moves his Hunters Mark to the approaching cultist (#6)

4 & 5 continue to press the attack on the Dragonborn Paladin with one of blades finding an opening.

6 closes the distance on Actaeon and Kel, swinging his scimitar at the archer and just catching him with the edge of the blade.

This exchange can take a long time so I hope you will allow me to fast forward. Here’s what Bartholomew has decided...

1. Obviously Tiamat and Bahamut are opposites
2. Bartholomew would like to know the head of the cult. Was it the half dragon he fought?
3. Bartholomew is now comfortable granting the wishes of these cultists by executing them. He has given them a fair trial, they have confessed to being the cultists that killed innocents, and they worship Tiamat.
4. His action will be justice not murder and therefore he feels justified.

Boulders form jumbled heaps at the bases of the cliffs. The level shelves and top of the plateau are covered in long grass, and brush and scrubby trees grow in patches.

OOC:

Happy New Year!

The sides of the plateau rises sharply while the floor of the hollow slopes up gradually to the east. The steep sides of the plateau are dotted with shallow caves. Boulders or brush conveniently conceals many of the cave mouths. As you approach closer you see a guard tower standing 20 foot high in the distance at the entrance to the hollow. It is made of rough timber lashed together with ropes and appears to be manned by kobolds. To the east you can see a second tower atop the plateau. Looking past the first tower you see collections of crudely built huts and tents on the lower flat level decorated with animal skulls that. As the land rises up as it leads towards the plateau cliff side it flattens out again and you see another collection of tents. At the far end of the camp on the 2nd Level you spot a tent larger than all the others that is spaced a good distance from the others.

From what you can see, the camp appears disorganized and chaotic. Morale seems high and security lax. If you wanted, you could probably just walk into the camp and nobody would bother you. If you did that there's a risk someone might remember you from the fighting in Greenest. You could also wait till nightfall and try to enter the camp then, but if you're spotted that will be even harder to explain.

A tall Dragonborn looks ready to depart. He is talking to two companions. They are located just outside a large camp and the two strangers may have overheard him confirming they were going to stride into the camp boldly, using the established military strategy of ‘hiding in plain sight’.

The arrival of two strangers is unexpected, so he draws his sword. "We do not know you. Are you more stragglers?"

Great. Initiation into that club is simple. Please place your head on that block and will say a prayer together."

Bartholomew gives Kel a side glance at the suggestion of further beheadings. It is not a habit of his to offer judgement in such a manner, but on this occasion he literally had no choice. Their captives practically begged for death, and to deny that wish would have been dishonorable. Besides, they were evil, and worshipped Tiamat, a fact that is unforgivable.

But Kel seems to have the matter in hand, despite utterly confusing the strangers with his banter. Bartholomew is a paladin of few wasted words, preferring to focus on action. There is little doubt that reinforcements would be favorable just before raiding a camp where they are vastly out numbered. This must be a blessing of Bahamut. A sign he did good beheading the cultists perhaps.

He sheaths his sword. "Very well, Sah. You may join us, but forgive me should I watch you closely. Few can be trusted in these parts". He turns to Kel. "Sah, talking of the untrustworthy, what happened to Harold?"

"But, I do have some ink in my bag. If we were to water it down and paint you, we might be able to convince the unobservant that you aren't here to spy on them. You and I could likely pass through without much issue then."

OOC:

Yellow marker is where Bart and Kel are currently interacting with the Kobolds. the camp resides within this horseshoe shaped hollow of a plateau. The plateau walls extend up as much as 150 feet. You can skirt the edges and attempt to use the rough boulders and terrain for cover. If you wish to circle around to the back of the camp, you don't have a good look at that yet. as the ground slopes upwards towards the rear of the hollow and you notice the tents begin to get a little nicer as compared to the kobold tents in the lower/entry portion of the camp.

Slate heads south(Green arrow on map) as Actaeon heads East (Blue arrow on Map) around the watchtower at the camp entrance.

Sneaky crew: The tents in the mouth of the hollow are crudely built and decorated with animal skulls. These are occupied by kobolds. They seem rowdy and chaotic at the moment as you observe them while moving amongst the brush on the camp perimeter close to the plateau's cliff face.

Yellow Arrow: Bart & Kel
Blue Arrow: Actaeon & Athas
Green Arrow: Slate

You move deeper into the camp and pass other groups of kobolds scattered about the lower level of the camp.
They continue to pay you little mind. Eventually the path begins to steepen and slope upwards towards the next level of the hollow. The tents you can see in the distance are in much nicer condition than the kobold tents, sturdier, cleaner, and decorated with painted designs representing dragons. Huts vary in diameter from 10 feet to 25 feet, and in height from 5 feet to 10 feet. (Symbols on the map represent clusters of tents.) A larger tent towards the rear is seperated from the others by an open space. To the North on the plateau stands another 20 foot watchtower. There are still individuals gathered in the second level of the camp but these are humanoids (mostly humans, but various races are spotted). You seem to notice small subgroups of factions that seem to linger together. A mix of mercenary groups and cultists.

Along the perimter there are boulders that help with cover as well as brush that varies from 4 to 6 feet in height that is tough and dense. The steep sides of the plateau are dotted with shallow caves. Boulders or brush conveniently conceals many of the cave mouths.

You would actually...you notice 2 mercenary groups among the various cultist groups. The Blacktalons, a large and well armed group. The wear armor painted black, but badly battleworn, with a splash of white across the chest. The Blue Boar, a group of veteran mercenaries that charge a high price for their services. Their badge is a grizzled razorback boar, rampant on a red, russet or silver field. Their uniform is a dark blue shirt with gold buttons, stiff collar, dark blue trousers and black calf-high boots.

As you continue up the slope and enter the second level of the camp you are able to pick out distinct factions of cultists, Black being the predominant coloring but you also see a decent representation of Blue colors as well. You can begin to hear the odd shouts of people trying to regain order from the chaos of everyone recently returning to camp. You also take notice that the large tent in the rear has a set of guards posted out front and another walking the perimeter.

It is directed towards the entire group...you are basically all observing the same things, except from different angles. Maybe no the exact same people but these groups are scattered throughout camp and you are getting the general feel.

@Slate: You happen upon a tent that appears to be on the outskirts of the other tents and is guarded. Watching for a few minutes you quickly pick up on the fact that their are prisoners being held within the tent.

Actaeon

"Look buddy, I'm not here to give you a report. I'm on guard duty. Now leave me alone and go find whoever it is you usually report to and leave me alone before you get me in trouble."

Kel & Bart

As you turn towards the cave you see another guard approaching your direction accompanied by two Drakes. He appears to be headed towards the main tent but his eyes are set directly on you two.

The prisoner appears to be humanoid, perhaps of elvish decent but is hard to tell from this distance. He appears to be badly beaten, his clothes torn. He does not appear to be directly guarded. At least not at the moment.

Bartholomew looks impressed. "I want to ask him where he is from and whether he needs saving". He says the latter very matter of fact, as if the need for a paladin to save the needy should be obvious.

Kel nods and laughs. As the other guard approaches close enough to hear, he says to the dragonborn, "Do you think we're allowed to throw rocks? 1 gold says you can't hit him in the ears."

Bartholomew is focused on the unfortunate prisoner and nearly responds to Kel with a simple, "no, what’s up with you", before the guard catches his eye and he realises Kel’s ploy. "Sounds fun" he mutters. As the guard arrives he says absently to the guard "Nice dragons. Do they bite?"

Actaeon/Athas

As Actaeon moves towards the tent the guard moves to step in front of him quickly, "Hold on buddy, I don't think you heard me right, I said move along." He then clutches the side of his head for a moment before shrugging it off, "What the fuck was that?" The guard takes his spear and now brandishes it aggressively at Actaeon. "Lein! Sondar! One of you get over here!" The guard shouts.

Kel/Bart

The guard approaching you is about to speak when you hear shouting from the far side of the tent. He turns his from the tent and back to you before breaking off and heading towards the tent with the two drakes.

At the same time one of the guards at the front of the tent begins to walk around towards the rear where the noise was coming from.

OOC:

Athas - make another stealth check (making two attacks on the guy, you have to be able to see him to do so, so that puts you at risk of being seen as well.

The Guard clutches his head again and this time lets out of grunt of anguish as the psychic damage takes hold, "What the fuck! He exclaims as a bit of blood begins to appear from his nostril. The Guard composes himself and again brandishes his weapon at Actaeon, "You better explain yourself quick buddy or you're a dead man!"

Bart & Kel

The Guard with the two drakes continues towards the main tent as Kel sends his message. You see the figure's head lift and look around, unsure of where the message is coming from. You here a faint reply, "I was captured during the raid on Greenest...I am ok." The return message was labored, as if he struggled to get the words out.

Slate

"We are shackled to the post in the middle of the tent," he whispers back to you. "We can run if we can be freed of the chains."

The guard does not seem to notice Athas but us impatienly awaiting a response from Actaeon. You begin to see another guard appear from around the edge of the tent.

Bart & Kel

OOC:

The prisoner would appear to be unwatched at the moment...the cave mouth you would notice has several figures moving about the front of still and is not wide open at all. It would require a great deal of stealth or subterfuge to gain access to that area.

The prisoners appear to be shackled together by a single chain and lock. You quickly pop the lock without issue.

To Kel Bartholomew whispers, "Wait here, Sah, just a second." He rushes over to the solo prisoner and cuts the ropes that bind him. "Run into the darkness Sah, and lie low. Good luck." Bartholomew returns to Kel.

"The cave seems well guarded. But the guards ran away from the tent. Maybe we should go have a look?"

Actaeon shoots the guard a look of confusion, What are you going on about!? Like I said, I'm reporting the Greenest attack to the commander. Take me to whoevers in charge, and they'll confirm that I'm an Astor, meaning a common guard shouldn't mess with me.

Actaeon & Athas

You two are at the rear of the tent...no entrance on this side...you approached a guard that was walking the tents perimeter.

The guard stands down slightly, "I don't know what the fuck yer talkin about. You ain't nobody that is supposed to be talking up here. Besides, Rezmir aint here, she's in the hatchery. So unles you want to get strung up and shackled like that stupid monk, I suggest you head back to your group and talk to someone there." At this point, the guard that walked around from the entrance has arrived and is standing alongside the one speaking.

Bart & Kel

The tent still has a single guard at its entrance, as well as the guard walking the Drakes. You will not easily get past them.

The half-elf looks stunned at BArt as he cuts his bonds, "What are you doing? The man falls to the ground, clearly beaten and exhausted. He doesn't appear to be able to move anywhere quickly.
