Session 5
General Summary
The party wandered down the tunnel revealed by opening the secret door for about an hour. Then
they came across a wide chasm with a switchback staircase leading down into the dark. The half
Orc, Tor, told them that he could not see the bottom, nor the far wall of the cavern. The proceeded
down the stairs and soon saw an awesome site. An entire citadel had seemingly sunk into the very
earth, it's upper balconies and gantries still poking out above the ground into this huge chamber.
They wandered down and gingerly entered the citadel.
Exploring the citadel's interior they encountered two tribes sharing it's inside. One was a group of
kobolds and another was a large and hostile group of goblins. In the goblin lair they rescued Erky,
a dwarven cleric of Moradain, god of the dwarves. He joined them on a quest to recover his items
from the goblins. He also told them about an evil druid called Barek the Outcast who the goblins
said lived in the Twilight Grove and guarded and nurtured the Gulthinas Tree which apparently
grew magical fruit. Continuing into the goblin lair they finally came across the main goblin tribe.
Charging recklessly into battle the heroes were overwhelmed with supirior numbers and three of
the four fell. The elf, Flek, retreated and escaped. He rested up and re-thought his strategy.
Sneaking back into the goblin camp a few hours later he was able to surprise the elite goblin
guards on the prison and kill both before either had reacted. He opened the prison door and
recovered his companions, using some healing potions and the clerics' spells to bring them all
round. They snuck back out and made further plans.
Sadly only Flek now had any gear - the goblins had stripped the party of their other stuff. They
recovered a couple of short swords from the goblins and decided to attack again. This time they
got side tracked and ended up battling the kobolds in the kobold camp! They slaughtered many
kobolds until they met their queen who blasted our heroes with magical energy time and again.
They party forced her into a corner where she eventually surrendered. She offered them the key to a "secret place" and a back route to the goblins if they would let her and her people go. The party
agreed. They also took her prized possessions. She showed them a route to the goblins they
already knew about and took her kobold people and left the citadel.
The party moved to attack the goblins once more, this time blocking some doors and making a
better plan of their attack. The battle was fierce and close but then Licinius and Erky were both
dropped when the party begam to withdraw. The goblin king had entered the frey and was a
worthy opponent. Tor and Flek once again fled and just escaped. On the way out, Tor dropped
unconscious from his wounds, leaving Flek to carry him to safety.
Flek stands alone in the darkness, injured and beaten. He is thinking of returning to Castle de
Belame to get his friends, Kai and Fortuna...
