Session 1

Mayor of Secomber hinted very much on the death of the hobgoblins
 
Were raided on the 1st of the 1st and are quite angry
 
Goal: investigate why it happened + kill the nuisance/prevent it (kill is preferred)
 
“Ending the raids of Secomber
Secomber has gathered 200gp for anyone who deals (preferably kills) the hobgoblins that raid and pressure Secomber. They have been sighted attacking from the High Moor and are probably making camp around the mid northern section of the dangerous lands.”
 
 
Players:
Dwarf has a massive hammer, armour covered in spikes - a mohawk.
 
Hobgoblin with an amulet of torm, classic but very dirty chainmail.
 
Elf has long white hair, white eyes - markings around his face as well as a tattoo around his neck of a cat bite. And a lion amulet.
 
Tabaxi is black with a mask over the face
 
Short well dressed man with a goatee and wavy curly brown hair
 
Hobgoblins, trolls and wolves populate the high moor. Its a mixture of swamps
--------------------
 
5th of the first 1491 is the current date.
 
Mother Teresa come up and asks us for some help finding her son billy the bucket man. He is a 20 year old who is a useless member of society, a fireman for a town which is known for not having fires. We agree, offer her to drink some of the dwarves ale to drink her sorrows away.
 
We look for clues and follow the footsteps and get busted in the highmoor 3 days into our travel.
 
An attempt to blend in was made but failed by our hobgoblin and disguised bard. However combat ensues cause the party was battle hungry. So tabaxi sniping from the tree, the blade singer being immortal, barbarian rushing in hammering and hitting with his chest, the paladin waving around one tapping blindly, and the bard banening and mockery.
 
 
 
A logbook from a hobgoblin reveals that they were professional heisters. They were raiding the tradeway previously. They were attacked by a great magic force. They are not the only hobgoblins migrating.
 
“Curious events in Dragonspear Castle
Powerful magic in Dragonspear Castle seemingly caused the raiders to have changed their prey. You were only promised the payment of Secombers mission, if you truly investigate every detail behind the new threat. Only once you can understand (and stop) the real reason why these raiders relocated may you receive full compensation.”
 
 
“Look, whatever your name is… COCK! I dont know what hobgoblins call their children.” - half elf bard
Hobgoblin confused.
Interrogation turns to bargaining. Eventually we start getting answers.
 
Dognid is the little goblin who turned himself invisible, he was probably heading to orgath.
 
We decide to travel to dragonspear where things were sus.
 
There is a terrain change after 5 days - 1 mile radius within dragonspear there is an extreme terrain change, storm clouds, lava, eldritch looking energy in the sky.
 
Billy can talk again! But he doesnt remember anything from before his kidnapping. Tartuchio the carpet seller is now his knew identity we sold to him, cause he didnt remember xD
 
There are many illusions, suching as flaming balls going towards us trying to scare us.
 
We see a creepy smiley face humanoid as we got closer was on the balcony.
“Prepare to die”
 
Bard and Paladin trigger the trap at the front door which is a wall of fire, this did quite a bit of damage. Then we entered the castle from the side hole which we had spotted previously.
 
The first hallway we take leads to a water illusion trap which after the barbarian hit the door disappears. Fake trap , but still scary.
 
A spooky lion thats an illusion appears later in the hallway, after pouncing on the half elf bard who didn't get scared, it dissipated.
 
Spooky fake skeleton coffin.
 
We walk past a kitchen looking room, assuming its an illusion without investigating it any further.
Boss battle in the throne room which also has double doors leading to wall of fire from the beginning.
 
[Insert fight here]
 
A soothing voice tells us to stop combat after a long battle with twists and turns. Enchantingly beautiful women with raven hair and purple eyes walks in from a balcony.
 
She introduces us to the kobold who was on stilts under the white cloak. The kobold is praying and smiles. His name “Qe Revnan”
 
“My name is leira and i am the goddess of deception.”
“Taurel is in great danger.”
 
The time of troubles history lesson followed. Three gods tried to steal the tablets of fate. Then AO got upsetti spaghetti.
 
Divine 9 under suspicion because of a stolen pure ruby type kinda thing.
