03 An Atrocious Kobold

by Ember Oakheart

We continued the hunt for Atrocious. He and Jaethal had left the desecrated tomb. His tracks were obvious to our trained eyes. We followed them 9 miles to a to a kobold camp. Atrocious was in the form of a purple kobold, getting some of them to fight us while ran away. Again!

We were the target of two fey pranksters: Perlivash (a faerie dragon) and Tyg-Titter-Tut (a grig). Zira and I bribed them with some rings we had found in our exploration. After they tormented everyone with pranks, the rest of out group also became their friends.
