Recap to Current Situation

  •  We got a VARDIS from a powerful being, traveled to Wudu, put out some fires, saved some folks

Session Notes

  •  We decide to investigate where the other mercenary party and the hobgoblin ran off to
  • We figure out that the hobgoblin proceeds West while the mercenary trail heads back East
  • We look for the local Council of the Few to inform them what we have learned about the direction of travel for the party of mercenaries
  • The local chapter of the Council of the Few building remains standing, completely unscathed in a sea of ashes
  • It is just a single room with a single caretaker
  • He explains that he employed the protocol and folded the building into a pocket dimension to protect the building
  • The caretaker is named Udo
  • We relay our story of the other mercenary group to Udo
  • He relays that message back to HQ
  • We decide to head west in pursuit of the hobgoblin
  • We manage to find a recently used campsite
    • Investigating, we can tell that there is more than a single set of footprintes
    • Somebody has left behind a crude, mundane iron dagger
    • We are able to figure out that the trail went to the Northwest
    • The footprints are hobgoblin made, maybe ~6 of them
  • We are confronted by a single hobgoblin that threatens us.
    • After some acrobatic intimidation by Nick and Jin, the single hobgoblin surrenders to us
  • After some gentle (extremely violent) persuasion, the hobgoblin is amenable to providing information
    • We ask about Eknon the Vex:
      • There is a hobgoblin camp ~1 hour north where the other hobgoblins are
      • We will find Eknon the Vex there
      • We leave him tied up with a little bit of food
      • We learn his name is Klankec
        • However, we learn his real name is Krokkak the Razor
  • We set back out on our journey and Nick decides to wear Krokkak as a backpack
  • Krokkak helps us avoid a couple traps on our journey north
  • We eventually reach a hillside with some conspicuous bushes at its base
  • Nick disguises himself as Krokkak and enters the hobgoblin warren
    • Erica sneaks along behind
  • Upon entering, Nick is challenged with a question by somebody in a language that he doesn't understand
  • Nick decides to try to commune with the roots of a tree nearby and have the roots smack him in the face
  • He is confused about what is going on and is disoriented, allowing Nick to proceed past him, Erica decides to duck out and return to the rest of the party
  • We have now split the party:
  • Nick's series of events:
    • He decides to head further in and enters a side room to see what was in it
    • Nick finds something that seems unusual upon investigating
    • It is a dark wood buckler (worth 175 gold)
    • Nick takes the buckler with him and heads back into the warren
    • Nick is able to hear 6 different hobgoblin voices as he is sneaking around
    • Nick decides to cast shatter in the middle of the group, then use Hidden Step to escape out of the warren
      • Two hobgoblins die and the rest are injured
  • The rest of the party, waiting for Nick:
    • We hear a loud boom as we see the bushes part at the base of the hill and Nick (invisibly) leaves the Warren
    • We are 30 feet from the entrance

  • Roll Initiative
