Crown of the Kobold King

[Corpseflower]

Thought this might be helpful. It looks like the courtyard is clear on that map, but anything other than the path area is thick brush and vines. You can just barely make out the well in the NW corner.

"If Kobolds live here, they sure don't guard the place very well" says Azog. "I'm starting to have my doubts. Fang, track. Hopefully the place isn't rank with their scent and we can get a clear trail."

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Hold onto Fang. Aidan looks at the tall grass, Kobolds are not large creatures. They could be in the grass, and I prefer not to have your companion and my friend hurt. The trick is, we need see down into the grass. Either we will have to get higher, get rid of the grass, or potentially suffer a hundred lizards sticking a spear in our butts. Aidan stares at the grass, looking for any sign of movement.

 

[WarShrike]

"I'm all for settin the grass on fire."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"I dislike fire... though it will be entertained to see little torches run till death."

 

[Corpseflower]

Fang sniffs the offered scales in Azog's hand and prowls the courtyard sniffing the path straight through. Azog steps forward to pull his companion back while the others discuss the tangled weeds in the courtyard, and in doing spots a pair of legs in boots, face down in the brush near the well. From across the courtyard Dimlez catches sight of the same.

You can burn the brush, but you may have to wait some time for the fire to die down before going through the courtyard. Or if you are burning it as you go in, you won't be able to retreat until it dies down. Both options assume it doesn't find anything to spread to in the monastery.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

It would be fun to watch this place burn, but we cannot control the fire and if the children are in there......

 

[Voda Vosa]

"If we should, first, we must investigate that corpse" Dimzel points with his thin finger in the direction of the boots.

 

[WarShrike]

This place seems made of stone, Aidan. Last i heard, stone isn't flammable." Azog heads towards the body, keeping an eye on the tall grass. Fang trails behind him. "I'll check the corpse. Watch my back."

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Aidan nods and raises his crossbow, keeping a sharp eye out for anything that could harm Azog.
