A Level.I had a very strong group of seven. String Bean Rogue 2 Taxbaxi. Violet Life Cleric 4. Mike Fiend Warlock 4 Abyssal Tiefling. Zhark bard 1 bugbear. Nerezza Monk 3 fairy. Nox monk 3 fairy. Mugen Druid 3 Human.Welcome Zhark to town, and Adventure League.Have worked a triple shift of adventuring of putting out fires, rescuing kids and small farm animals the Greenest Group (GG) is not happy to pulled out bed in the morning.Nesim Waladra, “I hear that you intend to follow the raiders and see where they’ve gone, I was on deaths saves last night and still have a few levels of exhaustion. I need coffee. What no coffee. “Nox, “Get to the point quest giver,”Nesim Waladra, “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.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.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.”Sherrif Andy, “The town will page 250 GP each if you find the exact location of the camp and bring back intelligence.”Zhark, “Does that include Mike if so we being owing you.”Moving out around ten in the morning they find signs of stragglers. Great sneaky things happen and they see four kobolds burying two of the number in spider traps and some humans and other kobolds laying a quick ambush. This doesn’t last the opening seconds.Violet calls up to the sneak group about the spider traps as they crush the right flank. As bugbear and fairies start to crush the right flank, we wouldn’t mention the leap from the small cliff to the kobold to the small cliff on the left.Book, “Poor Kobold” The bait crew crushes all but the spider traps. Mike tries to dagger the second one only to have trap to snap shut on his fingers. Violet rips the first one open and looks in. Nothing. Holding the top of trap aside she pokes the pit with her staff.Meanwhile, Cockroach the kobold is holding on to top of trap with both hands, both feet, and tail and hopes Violet doesn’t make contact. String Bean starts pawing the kobold.Violet, “I swore I saw something.”Cockroach, “See nothing in the trap. These are not the kobolds you are looking for.” He quickly avoids his eyes from seeing Violet.Mike, “Got a live one here. He is carrying two picture frames and three toilet brushes. I say we kill one of them.”Toilet Brush, “Hey that not fair we didn’t try to kill you.” He notices the glare from the everyone. “Okay we didn’t try to kill you successfully. I will make you a deal. I tell you about the rearguard and general location of the camp, you don’t kill me.”Book, “hey they choosing to fight the Rearguard.”DM, “They a very strong group. Let’s bump up the encounter.”Book, “Good. I tired of getting my monsters crushed. Swap out the acolyte for priest.”DM, “Hey I have ran these kobolds in a while.”Book, “Add a few more they crushed 12 in two rounds.”DM, “And I just make them AC 14 for all. Hey the priests go third. Okay your stealth rolls allow you to get between number 3 and 4 of the topside kobolds. The bait crew will say action.”The kobolds are surprised. They are dressed in black and listening to Johnny Cash with the flanks attack the number four.Priests, “MICROWAVE OF DOOM. HOLY naughty word Spirit Guardians does work on PCS. What my Save DC.”Beyond, “What is a spell save?”DM, “Make it 13.” Both Zhark and Nox fail. Zhark goes down.Kid Kobold, “Halt in the name of …” Violet arrow punches into his chest. Kid kobold, “Aw man I didn’t even get my line out.” Rocks are thrown and some get max double damage.Left Flank Priest, ““MICROWAVE OF DOOM. HOLY naughty word Spirit Guardians is still working. That two and half PCs on death saves.”Evil DM LAUGH, “I made at little bit too powerful.”Book, “Read my wall of small font text. Should be something in there about capturing the party.”DM, “Who side are you on any way? Yes, it on page 18 not 15.” The captured recuse rangers are captured while the rescue rescue rangers break contact and follow the cultists back to the camp.About three hours later the prisoner party are being tied next to Leosin. About 300 kobolds and other races are in camp. It is broken up in three levels in a small vale. The guard towers are new but nicely built. The group is places in the second level while the rescue group watches from the top of the cliff.Nox, “Can my group take a long rest before the rescue?”Prisoners, “Hey can we get a long rest too.”Nerezza, “Why do you need a long rest. I wasn’t even touched.”DM, “Okay top group yes. Prisoners tied to telephone poles short rest.”The sunsets. The moon rises in the east. The camp is being studied while Nox snores. Around two AM they put the plan in motion. Rat crew of Druid and rat start chewing the ropes of the prisoners. Fairy Air Force flies Violet down to prisoner intaking tent to cast silence. Zhark and String Bean nearly fall to their feet as blood is returned to their limbs. Dragon Doggy and Kobold guard miss this. Silence goes off but dragon doggy barely notices.Rat team works on the second set of ropes while fairy force returns to cliff to drop off the cleric. The start waking up the captured towns people and moving them out the back of tent to the cliffs. Two people make to cliff, four people make to cliff. All townspeople make to the cliff with no one notices.Rat team finishes off the ropes and Mike and Leosin don’t fall to their feet. Nox flies out the front of tent and beats down dragon doggy. Nerezza just breaks the guard’s neck. As the prisoner team goes to get their stuff.Goggles, “Hey where are you prisoners going. Why is their no one on watch?”Zhark, “Hey it is late. We going for some hot dogs. You want some?” Insert Bard Mind trick.Goggles, “New York or Chicago dogs?”Zhark, “Both. You coming?”Goggles, “Sure.” Moments later he is tied up and taken prisoner.We will pick this up next week back in town and start chapter 3. What is going happen to Goggles.DM Note. Does anyone have access to updated Pregens? Goggles knows the rank system and some of the chain of command. I will write that up during the week.End of session 570.</blockquote>
