Home Brew RPG Tales: Elmorian RPG - Haven Castle

Tracking the Kobolds

Moving through the woods Ruby tracked the force of kobolds into the southern forests, but she and Tyrael decided to return to Haven Castle before dark, and also bring Caleb back into the town safely.
Upon returning to the castle, it was clear that Caleb was the son of a Constable of Haven and considered fairly important. The Black Diamond and many of the castle citizens were now celebrating the two exiles and hope was building that this growing Kobold problem would be solved.
Talking more with Baric Swifthammer they told him what they found at the Hunters Guild (completely sacked, everyone gone, and Caleb over-hearing that the Kobolds were claiming a sacrifice to Cranabus Fork) Baric was rather horrified to hear this news and told them the tale of 100 years ago that name was one of the Orc warlords bound to a tower by his grandfather and the original Black Diamond guild. He marks about where he thinks the tower is on their map - but points out their patrols do pass by there regularly and have heard nothing about activity or kobolds near there

Baric also became more angry at Grime and the halflings since all of this started with their arrival - cursing that he would pay for the halflings to be interrogated next
Samantha took him up on that offer and left when she overheard that

After more shopping and donating a bottle of wine from the hunters guild to Grumple Tok they headed to rest at the inn
When there it was clear the inn was busy and full of happy patrons feeling more comfortable that the outlying area is getting safer.

Samantha was drinking with the halflings trying to get them to pass out
A fighter named Farameer approached them about joining them (Tyrael lied telling him to meet them in the south in the morning)
At one point samantha tried to take PP from Ruby picking her pocket but failed. Ruby drew a sword and demanded she never do that again - Ruby quickly sat down embarrassed and the halflings laughed at her
Then went to bed and the next morning found Samantha hovering hoping to follow or join them (quite insistent) to which Ruby and Tyrael together bundled her in a net and rope on the inn floor to ensure she could not follow

Heading north to begin tracking the kobold force that attacked the hunters guild again, they were ambushed by a large kobold force, and shaman. The shaman had a staff that seemed to be able to sacrifice other kobolds for damaging magic. But missed when tried swinging at Tyrael

The staff turned to dust when Tyrael later tried to retrive it indicating it was one of the items described by Baric that Grime had been bringing into Haven for money

Following the tracks they finally found something interesting - a huge abandoned temple covered in a landslide. Ruby peering in with her spyglass found it to be filled with a Kobold army of over 20+ Kobolds chanting Cranabus Forks name.
