One Shot 3 - Gritjaw and Goblins

General Summary

The Gritjaw Brotherhood, a fearless 12-man mercenary band led by Kragar the Conjuror, set out on a daring raid against a nearby goblin tribe. With a battle cry that echoed through the forest, they tore through the goblin forces. Slick, the lizardman gunslinger, delivered the killing blow to the Goblin Chieftain, causing the remaining goblins to scatter in disarray. Victorious, the Brotherhood returned to the town of Cragspire, where they were welcomed as heroes.
Mayor Chester, an eccentric old man with his ever-present vulture, Corpse, introduced them to his second-in-command, Finwick, a loyal Shoony. After receiving their well-earned payment, the Gritjaws wasted no time in organizing a wild celebration. As the night wore on, Drax, the Brotherhood’s clever goblin alchemist, took to gambling with Weston, a local gunslinger. Against the odds, Drax emerged victorious, winning a new firearm for Slick, much to the lizardman's delight.
Meanwhile, Kragar was approached by a mysterious half-elf named Roderick. After a tense private meeting, Kragar returned to the group visibly shaken and refused to speak of the disturbing news he had been given. The party continued, with Drax generously donating to the local temple, where his offering was rewarded with a magical cloak of invisibility.
The revelry carried on into the early hours of the morning, but the joy was short-lived. In the dead of night, a massive goblin raiding force descended on Cragspire. Hundreds of goblins ransacked the town, setting buildings ablaze and slaughtering anyone in their path. The Gritjaw Brotherhood leaped into action, defending the town with all their might. Amidst the chaos, a man known as Red Justice and his loyal dog, Skinny, heroically saved civilians from the onslaught.
By the time the goblins retreated, the once-mighty Gritjaw Brotherhood was reduced to just three surviving members—Kragar, Drax, and Slick. Grieving their fallen comrades, the remaining Gritjaws swore vengeance. They tracked the goblin forces back to the ruins of an ancient fortress, where they engaged in a brutal battle, cutting down wave after wave of goblins.
At last, they reached the throne room of the Goblin Lord. In a final, desperate clash, they defeated him—but their victory was bittersweet. Instead of retreating, the remaining goblins held their ground. From the shadows, a Goblin King emerged, grinning maliciously. Injured and exhausted, the Gritjaws realized they were cornered, trapped by the deadly king and his horde of goblins.
With their fate hanging in the balance, the session ended on a chilling cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the Gritjaw Brotherhood uncertain.
