A Game of Noobs part 3 (A Clash with Kobolds)

Well this comes a bit late (almost time for the next session to happen) but here it is part 3, First a couple of notes about absences, Ashford and Arturo were NPCd. one was called away at short notice the other didn't turn up at all. this means that the party was Adalric, Ludok and Sir Titus. this is still a usable party so I let the session happen.


The session began with the Party Healing up from their wounds slowly but surely. Adalric went to see Angelos about the things he had for him it turned out to be a set of 9 high quality darts and 2 potions of cure light wounds, Adalric thanked Angeolos and headed to the mess hall.


 Ludok decided to dissect the Goblins to use their putrefying organs for a sort of poison ( a brief and conversation happened pointing out that Ludok had to be good for being a ranger (my fault for not paying attention to rangers) and thus suddenly Ludok had a slight (very slight) personality shift). Adalric in the mean time was in the mess hall drinking whilst talking to Mikos (Lektra's father for those of you keeping track) bring sup something about Arturo... that he is in fact a EUNUCH (wait I spelled that right huh I'm improving) Mikos seemed to process this and thought it made sense how Arturo could sing so well. after that Adalric asked for his wine skin to be filled with the strongest stuff Mikos had, Mikos obliged  and filled it. Adalric went to look for Ludok when he found him Adalric offered Ludok some wine, Ludok refused and Adalric down the the entire skin (hey he had a skinful *drum sting* @) and instantly passed out form the stuff.


Ludok performed the funeral Rites (done surprisingly well for an ad-lib by Ludok's player) whilst Adalric watched carefully nursing a rather shocking hangover and Titus walked into the mess as he felt he had no reason to attend the funeral. afterwards the party met with Angelos and were told when they were to move out. 


And so the day came where Adalric, Ashford (NPCd), Ludok  and Sir Titus moved out (Arturo was busy doing something else not sure what but he was doing something (possibly Lektra? or maybe he was singing to her he's a Eunuch according to Adalric) accompanying them was Mykos, Georjus (Lektra's cousin) and 7 other guards and 4 draft horses tied to a wagon...

I'm sure the wheel will get us there faster.

As they journeyed  on they drew out the banner that belonged to goblins from the raid and a were quickly met by a patrol of Goblins on Worg-back the Goblins they followed to a large encampment. with over 500 goblins living there and many slaves...

The party was told to dismount to see the leader of the tribe Ekon a smug bastard of a Goblin who constantly beat  his interpreter (an elderly slave) the terms were set by Ekon for peace from his tribe to the Empire deal with a a tribe of Kobolds (see that's why I used the title) Titus demanded that the Ekon give them some sort of proof that they would have his word. Ekon shrieked out for a goblin named Grak to accompany the party before the party could leave the party were stopped and Ekon demanded a hostage on his side Mykos and 4 of the guard stayed with the goblins.

The party moved out with Grak and his slave/interpreter a young Asharnian girl named Lyra. during a rest Titus disarmed the sleeping Grak and tied his hands up Grak was shrieking and tried to bite at the Titus but all he got was a punch to the face for his trouble and a missing tooth. so the party moved on and found the entrance to the cave the Kobolds where living in it had a 5 ft high entrance and about 8 ft wide no way most of the party were gonna get in through that way easily. so Sir Titus and Ludok go hunting for some rabbits and start to cook them outside the entrance wafting the smell into the cave. after a few minutes the party fell into position and Adalric climbed a tree to gain a better vantage point... after another few minutes a group of 10 Kobolds came out of the small entrance...

10 of these lovely little creatures (design from AD&D 2nd edition)

Titus attempted diplomacy but the Kobolds couldn't understand him then they saw Adalric in the tree and starting screeching, Titus shouted at Adalric to get down Adalric nodded but as he tried the climb down he slipped and came crashing to the ground.

During the confusion Grak had stepped out and started screaming at the Kobolds this led to them throwing their daggers at him and starting a fight. this small band of Kobolds didn't last long and were rather easily dispatched. the party was patched up and began to move into the cave very carefully. after few minutes they bumped into a patrol of Kobolds not that was an issue I mean they dealt with the others right?...

YAY! I'm several years behind with my memes

Sadly no, the party that entered the cave consisted only of Adalric, Titus and Ludok 3 guys 2 competent fighters the other was Adalric. The Kobolds numbered 15 and Nuffle had decided that the party didn't deserve to win that day. as Titus and Adalric fell to negative hp (-7 for Adalric and -5 for Titus) the Kobolds retreated after taking a few losses but they could have easily dealt with Ludok just hanging on to conciseness. 

EAT IT BITCHEZ!!! (a traditional Kobold tribal moto)

Ludok managed to drag his fallen comrades out of the cave and they began to recover and that's where the session left off. and thus end part 3 of A Game of Noobs any lessons learnt? yup Nuffle is an evil bastard

Will the Party Deal with the Kobolds? Will everyone turn up next session Will we find out what Arturo was doing? find out next time at the Right Bat Time Right Bat Channel.





@ the Term skinful actually does come from drinking wine from a skin according to some sources so it's less of a joke and more of a statement of fact...
