Initiative:Drake,Milo,Buddy,Eko Eco,Nahusca,Cuth,Cole,Folkre
Cole stands up from Nahusca, who is now awake, and moves towards the building, about 15 feet, before twirling a throwing knife in his hand and chucking it towards the kobold. The knife twirls gracefully through the air towards the building. The kobold looks up and over the window, just in time for the knife to strike it's face and pierce the skull. The kobold falls to the floor, dead.
Combat is over. All players earn 42XP each.
Buddy is unable to stop himself and leaps into the window, to ravage the corpse of the kobold. Now that you can focus, you all notice this building has a sign hanging out front that reads "The Jolly Horse" The sign also depicts a horses head that has a comical smile and a hoof with a tankard in hand.

Drake darts from the cover of the corner ready to shoot the remaining Kobold to discover it with a knife buried in its face and being mauled by Buddy, he puts the arrow back into his quiver and walks over to Buddy and the Kobold. "There now boy, I think he's dead," he says to Buddy as he attempts to fuss him. He then turns back to the two sacks, picks them up and begins to head outside to check on the others. "How is everyone," he says to the group before turning to Cuth and his children, he smiles seeing them unharmed, "I found these on the Kobolds," he holds the sacks up before placing them on the ground to check the contents.

Drake Buddy snarls at you briefly as you get close to him. You leave him be as he continues to seemingly eat kobold meat. You leave him be and pick up the two sacks and take them outside.
Everyone Drake comes out of the tavern with two sacks in hand and places them infront of Cuth.
Cuth looks at them and back to Drake before looking back at the sacks. He gingerly goes to open one of them. A look of puzzlement crosses his face as he looks inside. "This is all metal wear from the tavern." He says as he pulls out two forks and continues to look through. He pulls out a candelabra and a few tankards. "Why would they have this?" He asks the group.
"It does not matter. We need to continue to the keep." He says now checking on his children, making sure they are OK and not too tired to continue.

Drake looks at the metal ware, "Probably just liked them, regardless the keep could probably do with extras," he smiles, "And then once this is over they can be returned to the rightful owner," he picks up the sacks again and stores them in his backpack he also refills his main quiver before looking at the others, "Are we ready? Or do some of you need sometime? If so the tavern," he gestures to the building behind him, "Would probably be the best place to rest for a short while."

Walking over to Cole and Drake, Eko begins looking in the bag as well. Picking out a few things he studies them for a moment before dropping them back into the sack, all with the exception of a shiny fork. Looking at the small utensil, he quietly whistles to himself before holding it up with a questioning gaze. When no one protests to it, he will put it in one of his pockets before looking back to his companions. "Continue to the keep?" -Cuth-

Cole You easily manage to find the throwing knives used in the previous combat.
Looking over the kobolds, you do not find much of use on their bodies except a dagger each of them carry and a few slings.
You then take time to search the cultists. Looking over them all, they each carry a scimitar and are dressed in black robes. You notice on the robes, on each shoulder, is an emblem that seems to have been sown into the cloth. The emblem represents the side of a dragons head, with five claw marks that drag through the picture.
You also find each of them have pouches that have coins inside of them. You are able to gather 8 gold pieces from them all.

Cole uses his dagger to cut the emblem off of the shoulder of the robe. He then gathers the 8 gold into a single pouch. "Any of you familiar with this symbol?" Cole will hold the roughly cut patch for everyone to see. "Also the four in the robes had a bit of coin of them, may be of use to us but may also be of use to those at the keep, what do you all think?" Cole holds up the other pouch and jingles the coins a bit.

Drake studies the emblem as Cole holds it up and thinks for a moment (Mercanary Life background ability?)
When Cole mentions the coin, "I would say the keep and Greenest could do with all the coin they can get when it comes to rebuilding."

Drake You take a look at the emblem and immediately recognise it as the symbol of Tiamat, the dragon goddess of evil. You have heard stories of her and her terrifying visage of a five headed dragon.

After a brief moment looking at the emblem a look of disgust crosses his face, "Its a mark of Tiamat, these people," he almost spits the last word out of hatred toward them, "Seem to venerate dragons," he pauses and regains his composure as he turns to Cole, "This definitely has something to do with that dragon."

Post by Eko Eco on Oct 5, 2019 22:20:02 GMT
Turning his head from one side to another, Eko leans in to get a better look at the emblem.
"Tiamat?" -Drake-
After taking a look, he realizes that he has never seen the symbol before but will remember it to the best of his ability. Looking around and seeing the dead lizard creatures, Eko begins to walk away from the group to the east. Once he is 5 or 10 feet ahead of the group he will turn around and gesture to follow him.

At Eko's question Drake simply states, "An evil dragon god, one with five heads," he shakes his head and pulls his pipe from his pocket, after loading it with tobacco he lights it and takes a few puffs as Eko begins to walk away, "Hold friend, we have wounded," he looks at Nahusca, "Are you able to continue?"

Nahusca stands to his feet and grips his left waist, where the scimitar sliced.
"This one is able to continue, Softskin. We need to get these ones to the keep." He grimaces as he gestures to the children.

"Very well," he looks Nahusca in the eyes, "Just dont strain yourself," he then looks the Cuth and his children, "Looks like we're ready to move," he gestures to them to move into formation, "How much further to the keep?"

Hearing Drake say 5 heads makes Eko stop in his tracks. Ponder for a moment, he runs back over to drake and grabs him by the shoulders. "Evil dragon god, one with five heads? 10 eyes perhaps...?" -Drake- "Scared." -Little Girl-

Drake looks at Eko then a look of realisation hits him, "Five heads, ten eyes, a mark of Tiamat," he pauses and shakes his head, "No, they couldn't be..." he trails off as he begins to think, "Let's move to this keep fast," he says as he begins to usher the group forward

Cole tosses the pouch of gold into one of the bags. "Well this whole thing sounds better and better," Cole states with a frown. The wide smile returns, "to the keep then." Cole begins to move ahead of the party waiting for them to be ready.

After Buddy ran into the building Milo followed him, ready to attack anyone that might still be inside. As he notices that there are no living enemies left, he slowly starts to calm down and starts looking for his handaxe. Once he finds his handaxe he goes up to Buddy and leads him outside to rejoin the group.

Milo It takes you a moment to find your axe, but you spot it just as the group seem to be waiting for you to head off towards the keep.
Everyone "It really shouldn't be far now. A few more hundred feet I would say." Cuth says as he gets ready to head off. Once Milo rejoins the group, everyone sets off, with Eko Eco now leading the group forward and Cole sticking to the shadows of the buildings.
You all continue Eastwards on the village path past buildings that look empty. No lights come from any of them. Some doors hang open and slowly move in the small wind. Screams can be heard from different locations. Most of them come from the South East, the last place you all saw the dragon land. It has not reappeared as of yet and taken flight. It worries some of you.
You all come to a crossroads and are about to continue straight on, but Cuth mentions "We should go right here. There is a path lower down that leads right to the keep."
You all take Cuth's advice and start to move south on the path. Not long afterwards, you all see the path that Cuth mentioned. Cole sweeps to the building and checks around the corner to make sure the way is clear. He gives the all clear before you all move towards it.
"Hey! Croak! More people out here! Why didn't you say something, stupid kobold! Everyone! Get out here now!" A voice shouts from the west. You all look and can now see another cultist that has exited the building. In his hand is another sack that he drops quickly as he draws his scimitar, and it clatters to the floor with whatever is inside.
On the roof of the building, you can all see a kobold that currently seems to be chewing something in its hands. It looks up to the cultist and then the group, before snarling. It stands up from the roof and two wings unfurl from its back.
Initiative:Cultist1,Cultist3,Folkre,Cole,Cultist2,Kobold1,Buddy,Milo,Eko Eco,Kobold2,Nahusca,Cultist4,Drake,Winged Kobold,Cuth
The cultist who called out rushes over towards Folkre and get's into his combat range.
Another cultist, alot smaller than the original one, runs out of the door and looks at the group. It runs over towards Eko Eco and threatens him in his combat range.
Eko Eco Looking at this cultist, he stands at the same height as you, and you also notice the tip of a beak poking out from under the hood. You recognise this as another Kenku.
Folkre, it is your turn.
