[IC2] Pool of Radiance

Grumbling and skimming through his notes, the professor looks for information he might have on these bands of humanoids.

Taking their time to find out more about the kobold raiders, while waiting on their enchantments to be finished or brought to Phlan, the adventurers find out a few things.

Most notably, kobolds are pathetic little creatures, who would rather hide under a rock than fight with honor.

To muster their bravery, they need large numbers, much larger than whoever they are attacking.

Survivors from the raids also mentioned that there were literally hordes of them running around. Dozens. Hundreds! Ok, maybe that was an exaggeration, at least it sounded like one.

But their numbers should not be underestimated, so much for sure.

Also, most sources of rumors, of which there are only few, point to the north. The bands have been seen traveling northwards after a raid - usually on a trade caravan or small travel group - was finished.

Additionally, all of the raids have happened in the area between Phlan and the outpost further in the west. Outpost? Yes, there seems to be an outpost further in the west.

""We may want to double check on the outpost. make sure it is not in the hands, er claws, of Kobolds."

"We could get a couple pack mules and we'd look like a pretty tempting target on the road West. If we could capture a Kobold attacker we might learn about their base."

Emagor Rilliance and Peabody

Emagor is quick to volunteer, "I'll be glad to dive a wagon, er, dRive a wagon" he says, reflecting that his arse would surely be thankful as well. Peabody just smirks, perhaps contemplating finding a nubile lady-iguana with whom to roll around the back of a wagon.

As always, when somebody else voiced an idea he'd like to have placed first, the professor ignores the previous contribution and states, "We could set up a trap by posing as a merchant caravan bound for the outpost or beyond."

He nods to himself, happy with his idea.

"Sure, how's this for a plan" Earmy the describes in detail a small-ish caravan:

"A wagon with barrels, and 4 pack mules with bags of grain. That should get their attention. The barrels should be small kegs so a kobold would go after it. Shouldn't be too expensive."

Earmy thinks hard for several minutes 'writing numbers' in the air . . . . .

"I am guessing about 844 gp. This is what I am thinking . . . . ."

Emagor Rilliance and Peabody

"Just out of curiosity, why do you suppose that kobolds will be more inclined to go after small barrels? Seems to me that it's the contents of the barrels that would more interest the average, grimy little kobold, not the size of the container. Or haven't you heard that size doesn't matter??"

Peabody just rolls his little iguana eyes and tries to look embarrassed.

"I am taking into account how weak the little buggers are. Now, where was I . . . . ."

Scotley · Sep 22, 2012

Eldwyn utters a brief prayer under his breath to his Halfling god as his idea is purloined and folk of diminutive stature are slighted. "Maybe a small strong strong box as well?" he suggests with a hint of rancor in his tone.
