[QUOTE="spacehulkster, post: 2068913, member: 13070"] Into the Ravine Exposed, Dank recovers his sword. He is surprised that he is not bleeding, as the thing missed him. As the bush takes a small humanoid form, Dank quickly cuts the sapling into three parts. While the thing stops quivering, Dank takes another hard look around. He eyes the remaining bushes along the fence suspiciously but nothing seems to be moving. After piling the parts up out side his tent, Dank peacefully sleeps till dawn. The party is enjoying a home cooked breakfast as Dank walks in and tosses the sapling upon the table. “Dank, what is the meaning of interrupting our breakfast like this?” Vern asks. “This… attacked me last night” Dank states. “But it’s a bush!” Felix retorts back “Ah, but a bush with claws.” Dank points out the limbs ending in needle like fingers. “I must say,” Milo states while stuffing his mouth with pancakes, “it does resemble something somewhat humanoid.” “Well, get that off the table and join us for some delicious pancakes, Dank. We will show it to the constable when we are through.” Vern replies. The party meets with Felon, the constable, and inquires as to the missing teens and the mutilated cattle. Dank points out the sapling as Felon eyes him disbelievingly. Felon answers that the teens set off for the ravine a couple of ten days (term for Forgotten Realms standard week) ago and have not been seen since. Armed with more questions than answers, the group sets out for the ravine. After six hours the group spots the first signs of their goal, pillars that jut up from the earth. A few moments later reveals the ravine and more post, broken and scattered around the area. From one, is tied a rope. The first to climb down the rope is Pudge followed closely by Dank and Vern. They are quickly assaulted by three dire rats, which Pudge and Dank dispatch quickly. The group makes it down to a landing of steps that proceed further down. Slowly and cautiously they walk down the steps to the base of the tower with a door clearly in front of them. Valen walks right up to the door and falls into a pit trap. He falls 10 feet suffering some humiliation, but minor damage. Gaining access into the tower, they see two doors, but Elric finds a secret door and opens it. Pudge nudges past and finds a skeleton rising and attacking him. Valen attempts to shoot it, but his arrows glance off the bones. Pudge is able, after a few rounds of suffering hits, to take down the bony man. He quickly searches its tattered clothing for valuables. Felix decides for the group to take the right hand door. They find themselves walking down a hallway with a wooden door ahead, wooden door on the right and a stone door on the left. They decide the stone door holds more interest and proceed to open it. They find an upright keg with rusted iron pipes running from it to the floor. Inquisitive, Vern ask Dank to open it and search for treasure. Dank is assailed by a water mephit that deals quite a bit of damage before being destroyed. Finding the door on the right as an empty closet, they proceed to the end of the hall. They hear weeping and scratching in the room beyond and ready for battle lunge into the room. A brief scan of the room shows a small broken iron cage, a fire pit in the center of the room and a small wooden bench with a cloth and several small items upon it. And still a weeping or crying coming from a bedroll in a corner of the room. Dank approaches it with Pudge close by. But he holds his action as he uncovers a wimpering kobold. It looks up at him without a care for its own safety. “What are ye yimpering ‘bout?” Dank ask. “Meepo’s pet gone! The clan’s dragon is gone!” it exclaims in common. “Meepo? Whats Meepo? And what about this dragon?” Vern frighteningly ask. “Pitiful wretch” Dank mutters, throwing down the covers back onto the kobold. “I be Meepo and I keeper of white dragon. But it gone now, stolen by greenkins! My poor Calcryx” it mutters. Valen looks about the room and the writing and graffiti that is scribbled around the walls, “Here there be dragons!” he states. “Dragons! Where?” Felix exclaims. “No this room, the writing says it on the walls” explains Valen. “Maybe you help get back Calcryx? Help Meepo regain lost honor.” “Ah, I’m not sure about that” Milo states looking nervously around at the others. “Oh pplleease, Meepo take you to leader. She help you if you help me.” “Well sounds like a trap but lets take a chance” Pudge states. He is able to persuade the group and they follow Meepo through the next door and around a corner into a great hall with pillars and a chair with a creature in ropes sitting upon it. All the while other kobolds are eyeing this peculiar site and readying their weapons. Meepo advances ahead to the figure on the chair and introduces the group in Draconic. Valen understanding draconic interprets for the group. Meanwhile Milo hovers close to Pudge and Vern does the same behind Dank. Elric tries to slip behind a pillar, but he is noticed by kobolds that give him a nod with a raise of their crossbows. Feeling comfortably safe the Matriarch addresses the party, “is this true, you will help Meepo regain the wyrmling?” “Oh, it’s just a wyrmling!” Vern exclaims with relief. “Easy Vern, even a wyrmling is dangerous” Dank offers. Valen acknowledges the groups intent to the matriarch and she introduces herself and relates the situation. “We inhabit this side of the keep, goblins the other and the Outcast is below with his pets.” “The goblins raid us constantly and recently stole our wyrmling. If you return the dragon to us, I shall grant you a reward. Meepo will accompany you.” “Ok, ask her what the Outcast is Valen. This just keeps getting more involved!” says Felix. “Matriarch, who is the Outcast? And have you seen four teenagers recently?” Valen implores. “He worships the great tree below, that is all I know and as for the four… yes, they went to fight the goblins and have never returned.” Agreeing to another task, the group backs its way out of the hall with Meepo leading the way.
