It was a long battle (thanks for staying, Will!) but in the end, the kobolds were no match for the combined might of our adventurers. 400 XP each for the night.
Only the deva fell, unless you count Allen's trip down the slide. But the slight scrapes and bumps are taking their toll. Only midafternoon, and the party is discussing a rest. For now, though, there's loot to find.
Those trained in the arcane arts discover three magical items in the lair: the boss's chain shirt, one of his axes, and one of the kobold's daggers.
Plenty of general detritis, probably from past caravans struck by the kobolds. Less than you'd expect, though. Probably could get some coin from selling the stuff through Montague.
In a chest, in the chief's room, a collection of small gems can be found, along with four slightly torn pieces of parchment. Three of them seem to form a map. The third is a note, written in an unfamiliar hand. (I will attach those to a later email.)
While exploring the area... (To be continued on Thursday)
Game is ready for tonight. I will probably be there around 7:30, a little later than usual. If folks are early, I suggest you discuss what you plan to do after the unexpected encounter.
