Rescue the 'Cobalds'!
General Summary
The adventuring party, lead by Baru'agar, met up at The Consortium, the newly renovated guildhall in Draconia. Meeting with Crik Crak, Sieglyn and Warful the group asked one of the nearby kobold where to inquire about a missing patrol. They were pointed to Keiland, at the Frozen Horn Inn for more information. Meeting up with the the assimar, they learned that the patrol was sent to survey a small portion of the swamp area, and have yet to report in. Keiland asked them to bring them safe, or in the worse case scenario, return with their field reports.
Heading off towards the swamp, Baru'agar inspiring the group with his music was able to travel quicker than most but found themselves blocked by a lake. Deciding there was not a good way to cross, they camped for the night, then doubled back towards the bridge on the trade route between Draconia and Arbour, staying in the city of Fioritura. They enjoyed their stay in the city of orcs, spending the evening at the arena, where they watched disputes resolved in, mostly, non-lethal fights.
The next morning, the party with the help of some inspiration, did manage to hit the edge of the swamp, but made camp before night fell upon them. The next morning, they began their journey, and after a few hours ran into a lone kobold by the name of Hok. Hok was standing near the corpse of a giant snake, resting. The group asked about his companions, and Hok said that he was left behind from his group. Crik Crak being a good tracker, was able to find the needed spots to check for the grouping of kobold feet prints, and the party moved on, Hok riding the roc that accompanies Crik Crak. Warful, sending his familiar to scout ahead and report back with any findings.
After a few hours of travel, Warful was notified by his familiar that a kobold was ahead. The party got there just in time to watch the kobold vanish into the water, a large snake pulling it down. The party, unsure how to proceed, starts looking for the snakes under water. After some time, the snakes ambush the party, but being ready, they were able to quickly dispatch the animals, but unfortunately the partially digested kobold did not make it. Crik Crak once again picked up the trail, and the party moved on their search.
Coming in to another section of the swamp, the party notices a kobold by the water, washing his helmet of some mud. The party yelled out to back up from the water, unfortunately doing so backed him into an ambush from a giant spider as it pulled him into the nearby bush. A few of the party members correctly identify it as a phase spider, a creature able to blink in and out of the ethereal plane. The party prepared for a fight, as the spider phased back in, and attacked. Despite its illusive nature, Baru'agar summoned the spirits of his ancestors and was able to dispatch it with everyone's assistance. With the creature defeated, and no sign of the body of the kobold, they followed the tracks further into the swamp.
Dusk was approaching, and as they moved forward, a loud buzzing noise was able to be heard. Off in the distance, they were able to find what was left of the scouting party, wildly swinging some frying pans in the air. As the party approached, they noticed several large bugs, Stirges, flying in their direction. Small, and quite ellusive, they were able to attach to a few party members, draining them of their lifeforce before being swatted away. With the threat eliminated, and the scouting party found, they headed back to The Silver City.
The party reported back to Keiland, who thanked them for their help, offering signatures for citizenship for anyone who wished to get it. Commending the party for bringing so many kobold back safe, he also wrote a writ of travel for Warful and Baru'agar to access the portals. The adventurers then went their separate ways, onto new adventures.
