Session Thirty-One (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

Session:31

   After the party hears something ashton climbs a tree and spots with Chuq’s spyglass a kobold 60-70 yards away hiding up on a tree. Ashton shoots an arrow into the kobolds back making it crumple to the ground. Searching through the dead body they find nothing and inform Adelard of the kobold. The group accompanying Starchy’s Boyz starts to fan out to sweep the area. Faldspar went northwest, Thorfus went north, Chuq and Ashton northeast.  The rest of the party stayed to protect the wagon.

The northeast group ended up finding small tracks near the ford. Bringing the whole party over it is almost night time. Deciding it be better to camp for the night the warband creates watches for the night. during the beginning of the first watch Axel pours oil on the pathway to set in fire just incase.

The night goes on without a hitch. Devising a plan in the morning; a scout party of Ashton, Chuq, Orion and Faldspar cross the river. Ashton stumbles upon a kobold that unfortunately was able to stick him well enough to drop him quite well. Orion was able to hear the fight go on and the scouting party was able come barely save him.

Hiding Ashton with Orion and Faldspar with the dead kobold; Chuq goes down south. The scout party that is watching over Ashton start to hear kobolds yapping. Faldspar and Orion prep their spells preparing for the worst. The moment a kobold popped it’s head out of the bushes to look, Faldspar summoned an illusion of a gigantic pumpkin head scarecrow with a scythe. The scarecrow swiped at the kobold “decapitating” it. There were another four kobolds that saw their friend die to this monster. The scene was too horrific for them and fled in fear with the scarecrow chasing them close behind.

Chuq hurriedly gets to the warband to tell of Ashton’s condition and to start crossing. as everyone is crossing the river they are attacked by 15 kobolds from 150 yards away volleying arrows on them. As the assault is going on, Axel feels his cart gets caught; Chuq dives down and is able to free the the wheel from a contraption. Finklemur’s horse got the clamps but thankfully Chuq saved the horse as well. Everyone is on shore except for poor baldin who was unable to make it through the river. with only eight kobolds still firing down on them it shouldnt be much longer until they’re dealt with . Ashton, Orion, and Faldspar are still waiting for the rest of the warband unaware of the fight going on.
