4E Interlude Adventure: Kobold King Session 2

Session 2: March 31, 2010

After surviving encounters with wild creatures and vermin, the party continued on their way, still seeking any sign of the kobold raiders. As they paused for a brief rest, they heard sounds of a struggle ahead. Cautiously investigating, they came upon two kobold guards recapturing an escaping prisoner. Making short work of the guards, the Party completed the rescue of the bard Slaptyback Fishtybum, who had been captured and was intended as a gift for the kobold king. The kobolds had no idea what a bard was, but they knew that a king was supposed to have one.

Having escaped from the raiders' camp, the bard was able to lead the party there. After cautiously making their way past a ring of Doomspore, the party was face with a guard drake and several kobolds, including a wyrmpriest who attacked them not only with an orb of poison, but with a conjured onyx dog. Fighting valiantly, they destroyed the raiders, and discovered their hidden stash of treasure. (800 XP) (see Loot, below)

Pressing onward, they went in search of the kobold stronghold, determined to stop the kobold king once and for all. They deftly avoided being caught in the snare trap set by the raiders. They were not so fortunate, however, when they encountered a clearing filled with huge webbing, and were forced to fight three giant spiders. Though they were repeatedly hit with the sticky webbing and restrained for a time, most of the spiders' bite attacks were unsuccessful, and the party once again prevailed against their foes. (600 XP)

Now the party must find, and face, this reported Kobold King in his stronghold.
