(RP) Dangerous Legacy

Liam nods along with the others.

"It does seem that the kobolds have taken over the plains. Perhaps by skirting the hills and traveling north past the kobold's western edge we can avoid any contact. The hills themselves should provide decent cover as long as we do not march along the tops."

He does not look nearly as eager for an encounter as Korbin.

 

[Knight Otu]

"I would prefer a faster route aroun them, but we will help no one if we are spotted. Let's go for the hills."

 

[Tor L'Tha]

"Aye, she is right. But which way?", says Sonrik, looking off to the distance. "Shall we head for open lands, and risk being spotted and chased? Or should we head to the hills for cover. Though I know not what lurks there, or if that is where the Kobolds come from." Sonrik peers off towards the encampment, as if waiting for some sort of sign.

“Cover yes yes” does Rak say seeing backward over his shoulder “Well that will do it north” “Seems to me a good idea” “are there any of you that are good on geography” “I did never pay much attention in classes” he says making a little smile.
He walks over to Sonrik “nice blade you got there” “does it have any name?”
“my little crossbow is a gift from my dad” “he named it Chiit” he shows the crossbow to Sonrik “nice piece, good wood” “and the bolts are made by my Master Thalas”
He walks north looking around Spot: Roll(1d20)+4:12,+4 Total:16

"A fine weapon, Rak. You must be proud to wield you own father's work.", says the young man, as his eyes drift away from the crossbow and to his feet. I wonder if some day, my own father will keep me in his thoughts,
he thinks.

"As for my blade, I thank you, but no it has no name.", Sonrik replies, "It is simply a tool of Hieronious' will, and I am it's humble wielder." Looking at the sword and laughing, he says, "Honestly, I am not sure if it has earned a name. If it has fought glorious battles in the past, it was not in my hands." Sonrik smiles at Rak, "Perhaps when the right time comes, you can help me name it, my friend."

 

[Vendetta]

" 'nuff talk!" The dwarf, Krueger snorts, cutting straight to the point in only the way a dwarf can. "Emb'ton won't come ta us, now will et? Nae!"

With a moderate chuckle, the party moves further back into the woodland hills and heads north. It is not long before the halfling, Gemble, puts up his hand and calls for a stop in movement. Having grown used to trusting the halfling's senses when out in the wilds, everyone stops immediately and strains their eyes and ears for dangers. Ala and Erlik hear the faint sound of the beeping squeek of Kobold's speaking their own language. Moving cautiously ahead, you soon discover a troop of 56 Kobolds divided up into 5 squads of ten and a "leader" standing before each of the groups and a single leader marching back and forth before the entire group, apparently giving orders. Jaeden, who speaks the kobold language tells you that the head kobold is their captain and he is giving patrol orders to the rest to split up by their squads and find food and suplies, preferably a human or halfling village that they can pillage.

Soon enough, the troops give some kind of awkward salute with varried levels of professionalism and head off in different directions. Fortune is with your group, as none move directly toward your group. While skilled, and easily overmatching a kobold one on one, 56 perhaps may be too many to face at one time.

As the squads head off in their respective directions, the captain stands firm, alone, watching them go. Jaeden translates his last comment spoken to the air and himself alone... or so he thought. "Soon enough, we'll find a place to settle once again and perhaps then, aquire the strength to force the hobgoblin scum out of our caves!"

 

[Ashy]

Ala, female elven Cleric of Thorus Odara

A look of concern crosses the elf's features as she hears the translated kobold's words. "I just thought of something, everyone, something that chills me to the bone. With an army of kobolds of this size so close to Tev'El Rhoe, shouldn't we send word to warn them? An army of that size, without any doubt, would target the town without a moment's notice! Furthermore, if there are vast numbers of hobgoblins about, Tev'El Rhoe needs to know this as well! Hobgoblins will not lie in wait in those caves for long, I'd warrant!"

 

[Tonguez]

"Hobgoblins and kobolds!" Erlik growls his distaste for such creatures obvious "Why are Hobgoblins invading kobold caves?" he mused "I think we should capture this captain and interogate him before killing him. That way we will at least know more of their motive and plan - what say you?"

"I cant say i disagree" “i like more that idea than what Ala is saying” “I wouldn't have one of us to go back with so little information” “they know the treat is big” “my guess is that they are in full work whit the protection of the town” “specially whit the latest news that the courier brought” he looks on the party “are there any that don't want make a try to capture the captain alive?”

 

[Korbin of Valenar]

Korbin, Human Fighter 1

"I think we should capture this captain and interogate him before killing him. That way we will at least know more of their motive and plan - what say you?"

"Hmm...that would provide us with valuable information. It's these hobgoblins that worry me, though. What say we capture this Kobold captain and....er.....convince him that we can help his people provided they stop raiding our homes?"

Liam shrugs.

"Just to present a different viewpoint. Tev'El Rhoe knows that kobolds are out here. Maybe not how many or exactly where, but the kobolds have been raiding for a while now. The town knows of the kobolds and the kobolds must already know of the town. Our job is to send a message. That said, I have no objections to the plan. . . I just thought I'd let you all decide."
