RotDQ: Episode 2

Night One (24th Kythorn 1489)


The party enter Greenest Keep. Maven Mirkana makes sure that Melonie Mirkana gets medical attention.

Korbal Tallfort tries to give a speech, trying to claim credit for saving everyone, with little success. Governor Tarbaw Nighthill comes up to the group and talks with them. He says the keep is surrounded and if they captured one of the cultists, they could interogat them for more information.

Melonie recognises Frulam Mondath in the crowd of Cultists. She whispers to Maven Mirkana that they should capture Frulam.

The Governor tells the party of a secret tunnel and that the mill that is on fire, and asks if the party can save it. Trior Hizon agrees, but Korbal is confused why they need to save the food supply.

The master of arms takes the party to the secret tunnel and unlocks the grate. Only he and the Governor know about this tunnel. Korbal graciously gives Trior permission to be at the front of the party.

In the tunnel, the party is attacked by a swarm of rats. Maven puts a bonfire on them. The party attack the rats. 6 rats jump on Melonie, but Maven knock them off. They get to the end of the tunnel, but it is rusted shut. Melonie picks the lock.

The group try to sneak outside but Trior makes too much noise, but is dragged into cover before he is spotted. The party then cross the river. They see the mill isn't on fire, but has been made to look like one. Maven supposes it is a trap.

Solania climbs up on the roof a building and sees no one around. She also shoots an arrow, and is able to hit the broadside of a barn. The cultists hear the noise, look out, then go back inside. Melonie sneaks up to the mill to scout out the building. She sees at least 6 enemies.

Solania shoots a kobold with an arrow shot. Korbal charges in and throws a dagger at a cultist. Trior casts toll the dead. Melonie puts some ball-bearings on the ground in the doorway to block the other group. Solania shoots the other cultist with an arrow. The cultist charges Korbal, but he kills him. None of ther enemies are stopped by the ball bearings. The Kobolds starts slinging at the party.

Korbal gets a cultist to surrender with intimidation. Trior charges at the 2 kobolds.

The free Cultist hits Melonie, then Korbal kills him. Trior kills a kobold. The last kobold goes to escape, but slips on the ball bearings. Solania kills him.

With the fight over, the party they can, and escort the prisoner back to the keep. The prisoner reveals that the cult is here to gather gold for Tiamat. Maven convinces the prisoner to be quiet during the trip.
