A skilled man in combat, but I seriously outmatched him.  Unfortunately, he disarmed my Greatsword and I was forced to actually draw his blood with my longspear.  The kobold leaders were very surprised that we actually won the contest, and as expected by the rest of our expedition, they attacked us.  I was currently under the effects of a charm spell, so didn’t see it coming.  However, when the little bolts of light smacked into me, it broke the charm.  We made sure the children were safe while we took out the remaining combatant kobolds.  Thankfully, most of the kobolds acknowledged our victory over their champions.  We should not have problems with them again.    We have also had several encounters with other clans recently.  The first was Kelvin Larkhal.  A Magineer, as he calls himself, a man that builds with magic.  Apparently he used to be Ariel’s fiancé, before she broke it off to go gallivanting with the Prince.  A nice enough guy, and still seems to have a hang-up on Ariel.  He lent us the use of some of his cleaning staff to clean up the manor.    The second of encounters during the kobold problems was Harold and Jay Risenson.  The kobolds were in a panic about members of Rising Son being on our lands.  Conrad made the mistake of telling them these men were our friends, which further freaked them.  Anyway, Harold is the new laird of Rising Son.  He wanted to make sure that what was in the past was in the past and said that his family was on a short leash these days.  He said they were the victims of several accusations and to go to him if they were suspected of something.  I don’t really trust them…</blockquote>
