Eastdale is located on the eastern tip of the Darkwood Forest. The town consists primarily of humans and dwarves from Citadel Silver. There is a smattering of elves, halfelves, and halfings. The dwarves of Citadel Silver trade almost exclusively with Eastdale and their raw materials and finished goods filter across the rest of the region from that point. The dwarves and men of the region maintain strong relations for trade and defense. The local “men ‘o’ dale” as they are called, are hardy folk drawn from the nomadic tribes that migrated across the Northern Reaches long ago.
The church of St. Ygg holds political and administrative control of the town. The clerics both lead and employ menat- arms to defend the town’s wooden palisade. They also serve as civil and religious authorities. In addition, Eastdale is the religious center of Middenmark and provides everything from the training of new adepts to barracking a small company of Red Bannermen, St. Ygg’s order of sacred paladins.
Due to ecclesiastical law, Eastdale has a reputation as a stern and somber place. However, the prohibition of alcohol, prostitution, and gambling has served to give rise to a small thieves’ guild and driven less-savory pursuits underground into the sewers.

First Expedition into the Forbidden Zone
Discovery, Exploration

After surviving caustic acid rain, The party comes across a dying Biggs who warns them of trouble ahead. A well placed fireball spoils the terrible Kobold kill zone and gives the party a needed upper hand. After the kobolds rush the party from a secret door, they give up their treasures, which the party extracts and brings back to town. With the help of a kobold prisoner, Scalefoot, they carry more out than they brought in. Success!

I'm Delving here!
Expedition

On the trail into the forbidden zone two stone lizards were encountered. A magical barrier wards them away.
Upon entering the Redoubt of the Redtail kobolds, a terrible trap was unleashed sending a mass of stone spheres down the hall. Alas, poor Orlan was killed.
A fireball was once again unleashed to try and clear the hidden kobolds before returning to Eastdale.

Playing both sides
Expedition

Responding to a note delivered from what is believed to be Scalefoot, the party prepares to respond to his call for help. Taking a day to rest and hire another henchman, the party heads back to the Forbidden Zone to find that the Kobolds have come under attack.
It seems that frequent fireballs have the effect of weakening defenses and this opened the obolds up to attack from other factions in the FZ.
Now fighting within the dungeon between Goblinoids and Kobolds becomes a way to play one side against the other while exploring. "Helping the Kobolds" has gotten the party a Kobold guide to help the party avoid dangers.
Still no sign of Scalefoot who has been said to have "RUNOFT"

DO NOT facepalm!
Expedition

The party has made a couple of successful delves now, and the activity in the dungeon continues to evolve. The Grey Wolf Goblins seem to be taking over and the sighting of Kobolds have become increasingly rare. Even in the upper level where the Big Yin Bulgark has his throne room seems to be now taken by goblinoids. Still, the goblins continue to send out scouts into the dungeon and seem to be seeking something.
Three Acolytes of Impurax have been defeated after they "Betrayed the party and attacked them" This resulted in a few rare finds in the form of spellbooks, Relics and three magical rings which make the palm of the wearer into a toothed maw that is eager to bite flesh.

Property for Rent
Financial Event

The group continues to set up for a more extended stay in Eastdale. Oswalt had already purchased a small house in town and now Blodgett has financed the rental of the town's closed gambling hall. Given the location and details of its history from Muirron, it is assumed that there is a way to access the gambling operation in the basment which has been "Closed off due to flooding and rats." This would also mean that a secret means of egress from town would be available.
