Session 4: Race to Rockseeker! Report

General Summary

Triumph! After a brief introduction by Zaphod, our heroes ventured forth into the cave, singing "Secret Tunnel" as they entered. However they forgot that enemies also have ears. The goblin on-duty was able to hear the intruders and signaled others to wash out the invaders. A pair of flood attempted to flush group from the tunnels. Zaphod and Pix were caught flat footed and swifly carried out, while the others hung on. Determined to retrieve his hammer, Zaphod trudged back in along side Pix, this time a bit more wary of the eyes around them.
The party found its way through the cave and encountered a band of goblins huddling around a fire. Axol found this opportunity to release an ice knife that froze the majority of the fiends and arousing Yeemik, 2nd in command for the local tribe, from his perch above the crowd. Speaking Goblin, Yeemik demands that the attacks stop as he hold his captive over the edge, Sildar! As the only party member to understand, Valkry is able to parley a temporary truce, but not before Sildar is dropped. Charles, Axol, and Zaph all lunged to safe the falling Sildar, colliding in the process. Fortunately, they are able to cushion the fall and stabilize the ailing fighter.
Yeemik informs that the party that Klarg has taken Gundren and the rest of captives gear, including Zaph's hammer. Yeemik also attempts to stab the distracted Charles. Catching at the last moment, Yeemik submits and apologizes for his mistake.
The party continues on through the cave. quickly dispatching the patrolling goblins. They find Klarg sitting at a table grumbling to himself about power and we using Zaphs hammer to crush the food he is eating. After displaying a perfect use of Dissonant whispers, Klarg finds himself quicly backed into a corner. Using a last ditch effort to save himself, he crushes an obsidean stone and relases a pair of shades at the party. After some initial shock, the shades and Klarg are defeated. Sildar begins searching for signs of Gundren but fails to find neither him nor his map to the Wave Echo Caves.
