Food Shortage!

General Summary

Prim, Covak, Alastari, and Nightfall had read on the job board that there was a food shortage in the kingdom of Telestria. Being motivated to help their neighbors they decided to meet at the Temple of Medevah which was owned by Prim. After some banter between Prim’s hired Priest and Covak and Alastari, the group set off in a phantom Chariot. After an hour of flying above the tree line, the party parked their chariot outside of the fenced community that is Emancipation. After waiting in line, and entering, they found one of the main guard’s who brought them to the warehouse where all the food was kept. After some questioning, the guard let the party loose to investigate the area where Nightfall was able to spot some rat tracks. Upon following the tracks, the party found a loose floorboard with a tunnel underneath it. The tunnel was very small and it didn’t seem like any of the larger party members would fit in it without the aid of some magic.
    After some preparation via the use of reduce person on Covak and a greater hat of disguise on Alastari, the group was able to enter the tunnel. After sneaking for a while the group encountered a pair of goblins. One of them charged at Prim but Covak stepped in front of her to take the damage. After some frosty magic missiles and a devastating attack from Covak, the barbarian goblin was down and the party was able to get the second goblin to surrender. Using a mix of intimidation and diplomacy, they were able to find out that the goblins were bringing food to a dragon living outside of Emancipation and convinced him to bring them to his lair.
    A very short time later the goblin led them to the cave of the dragon where boulders were blocking the entrance and smoke was escaping in little wisps. Covak started to remove the boulders with Prim standing nearby which caused much more smoke to leave the cave. Upon inhaling it, Prim and Covak found themselves feeling lighter and euphoric. Seeing that smoke was leaving the cave, the dragon called out to them and invited them inside where they were able to talk to him. The group found out that the dragon was having the goblins deliver the food and drugs to him in exchange for helping them out in the future. After revealing to the dragon that he was stealing food from the town, he offered to give it back on the condition that they took some of the food and made him a final meal with it. Afterwards the party teleported the food back to Emancipation and brought the goblin thief with them asking for a lighter punishment for him because of the hardships he’d faced. The crew then made it safely back to Arbour Kingdom.
