Kobolds of Voks:
Smoked out Owlbear with cubs from her lair.
Chase her to the forest order, where she founds a party of woodcutters and kills them.
After the battle kobolds finish her and her cubs.
Did not want to cause trouble and want to spend winter here.
They were drawn from they home after a dragon that they served was chased from its cave in the Forlorn Hills by the forces of Greenskins and their leader Khevrod the Mask.
Volks offer agreement. Kobolds will deliver wood for the Nightstone, while the city will deliver food and a non-violent treaty.
- Party delivers this news to the mayor of Nightstone.
- After short consideration Tanros agrees on that terms and asks the party to deliver his verdict to the Voks.
- During the night all of the Party members see a nightmare:
From the shaky shroud of sleep, you fall into the darkness, so thick that you cannot see an outstretched hand.
Muffled thunderclaps and booming gusts of wind can be heard from the darkness.
Gradually the darkness recedes. The horizon in the east is outlined by the dawn line, replacing the blackness of the night with purple flashes.
You find yourself in on Nightstone square, in front of a black onyx obelisk.
Stand in a semicircle of Aren, Ingolfure, Liam, Floki, Dardath, Tiruma and Bushamster.
Facing East, feeling the touch of the first rays of the sun on your skin.
The thunder doesn't stop and after 10 seconds you don't hear anything but peals, the howling of the wind, and a new sound, an increasing low guttural growl.
In the dawn sky, you can see the shadow of two huge wings rising in the North.
Straightening up, they envelop the west and east back into darkness, obscuring the sun.
The only remaining light source is you, standing in a semicircle, looking to the East.
Yorik - leaning on a long sword and a half, with a fluttering purple cloak behind his back.
Persifal's massive torso - with a one-and-a-half-meter axe on his shoulder.
Lutik is wearing a bright carmine doublet over a silver chain mail.
Lesruk - in a snow-white long-brimmed caftan with gold edging.
Morgran - stroking the withers of a huge mastiff.
Evin is enveloped in an aura of blue light, her eyes and hands shine so brightly that the light flows into white with a gradient.
The last thing you see is a Bushamster figure standing in a red haze. The eyes are burning with scarlet fire, the hands are bare to the forearm and instead of the elven palms, you see a pair of paws with long claws.
You see a blood-stained chin and crimson hands up to the elbow.
The howling of the wind and the roar of the storm reach their apogee, mixing into cacophony and culmination, tearing the eardrums.
And at this moment you wake up to the rooster's cry in the barn behind the tavern.
