Liandri, Liandri keeps his head down and sobs as quietly as possible.Farmer Brown breaks the silence his muffled cough turns into a laugh that in turn becomes a roar, head back he kicks his legs in the air and rocks to the rhythm of his joy.Felix and Bob look back at the strange Farmer and immediately spot the huge steaming pile of dung, nearly a foot high, that Old Tom (the carthorse) has just deposited on the puddled road.“First of the day”, the Farmer guffaws.The horse nods, Bob swears later that it also smiles and winks, the cart moves off, the Farmer grasps the reins and wipes the tears from his eyes.Behind Liandri squats down, looks left then right, and then leaps over the side of the cart and waddles/shuffles into the woods holding his backside- he’s as white as a sheet. Farmer Brown stops the cart looks puzzled, sniffs the air and then looks back to where Liandri was sat/stood- Liandri has left his mark.The Wednesday Knights gather to offer support for the beleaguered Elf,“First of the day, Liandri?”“I’m not eating them potato’s now.”“I thought you said you wuz a crack shot with that bow, more like a cack shot.”Then from the woods.“Fetch me one of them Potato sacks… NOW.”Five minutes later Liandri appears from the woods wearing the Potato sack as trousers, actually more like a sarong or skirt. After the wolf-whistles die down the party are on the road again.When they reach Amberdale for the second time Liandri uses all of his Rogue talents to enter the Birchwhistle Inn unnoticed shimmy upstairs and collect fresh trousers and underwear.Of course on the third journey when spirits are high at the thought of £3 each- easy money, the group are somewhat less surprised when Old Tom (the carthorse) stops again, Endrin’s giggles are silenced by Liandri’s stiletto stare. However things change suddenly when two small creatures emerge from the woods ahead of the wagon, one with his/her/it’s hand in the air- as if to offer parley, they look a bit like scaly (and ugly) dogs except they walk upright.“Kobolds” whispers Bob.“MMMuuuuMMha” agrees Farmer Brown.Two more of the creatures emerge from the woods behind the cart.Time stops.Endrin shuffles furiously the two creatures approaching him look menacing and are wielding short spears- well, looking as menacing as they can at just over three feet high, they growl in a squeaky way. In a fit of peek Endrin takes this as a personal slight draws his bow and fires- the arrow whizzes past the Kobolds who are stunned for a second, they grasp their half-spears and rush to attack screaming in Draconic.“Death to the biggums.”“Prepare for a spearing you long tall streak of…”“Go for the knees.”Felix and Bob at the head of the wagon hear this, shrug and charge forward, they simultaneously roll natural “1’s” (there first attack roles ever). Felix’s staff skitters out of his sweaty hands and lies well out of his reach on the floor, Bob prepares a huge overhead blow, alas his grip is also loose- his longsword sails off into the distance, landing some thirty feet beyond the momentarily stunned Kobolds.They share a pained expression, as the Kobolds rush forward and attempt to stab them with their spears, both miss. Once again entirely in synch the two bundle into the creatures. Bob has instant success (natural “20”) his blow sends the Kobold spinning to the floor- dead. Felix displays rather less elan and falls upon his opponent and kinda rabbit punches the thing into unconsciousness shouting, “for Mash get Smash”, as he fights.A sudden flight of crossbow bolts from both sides of the woods, fortunately no one is hit, although the cart develops a pincushion effect.Back at the back Endrin takes on two of the creatures, sword drawn- eventually killing one before the second flees, he has a slight cut for his troubles.While this is happening stuck in the middle Farmer Brown shouts and points all the while- “That wun ‘ad my <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />!” (male chicken, think about it), and, “Get orff my land”- before sitting down abruptly when a crossbow bolt fired from the woods strikes him in the shoulder. Old Tom (the carthorse) likewise is hit although the bolt does little damage. Farmer Brown keeps Old Tom from bolting as Liandri makes balance checks and fires back into the woods- killing Kobolds as they pop up to aim. The conflict is soon over with Bob and Liandri dashing either side of the road whooping and hollering and generally giving chase.Soon after they regroup and begin to drag the five Kobold bodies into the woods, Liandri meanwhile ties up the one left unconscious.A few minutes later Farmer Brown is packed off to Amberdale (swiftly) with his potato’s intact and one ko’d Kobold hidden in the back. The group follows Bob, the expert Ranger, into the forest on a mission to hunt down and destroy the dreaded Kobold Potato Bandits.Coming soon… to Koboldly go…</blockquote>
