  • Cathance Lobdhain, Hikawera, Tai Ho'onani, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, and Quelenna were tasked with the mission from Taleisin of the Orderly Stones Monastery to find the reason for the kobold attacks, and end it.
  • The Freelancers travelled by flying mount to Orderly Stones monastery in one day without incident and overnighted there.
  • Travel to the kobold stronghold took two full days, and the Freelancers were attacked by young owl gryphons during the intervening night, which they slew.
  • The next day, the Freelancers flew up to the stronghold entrance, killing 5 guards.  A sixth one escaped to warn the others.
  • Exploring the tunnels within, the Freelancers found it seemingly empty.  They encountered a large crevasse, which had two large caverns and four ledges opening onto it.  A bridge led from their tunnel to one of the caverns.  Ana had her familiar look for kobolds, and finding none, scatter any sling bullet supplies they found.  The familiar found a copper armband, which had a distorted image of The Snake.
  • The Freelancers flew on mounts to the cavern not attached to the bridge, and started exploring.  A roper attacked them; they slew it, and paused to assess.
  • Before resuming explorations, the Freelancers were attacked by a party of 6 kobolds, who were audibly displeased about their Avatar of The Snake.  All wore the copper armbands.  Tai negotiated a truce, but not before taking large injuries.
  • The kobolds relayed that their stronghold was beholden to a false Avatar of The Snake, who required excessive tribute.  The Freelancers concluded the false avatar was really a dragon, and offered to assist with ridding the kobolds of this problem.
  • The kobolds led the Freelancers by a circuitous route to a safe place to heal up, and from there to the lair of the false avatar.  They sent two of their party back to the central stronghold to provide a distraction.
  • Ana sent her familiar to find alternate entrances into the lair, which the Freelancers used after securing mounts in a nearby cave.  However, they fooled nothing and nobody; a young green dragon, Carpalor, awaited them.
  • A battle ensued, in which Carpalor was slain, but not before eliminating Ana's familiar and severely injuring Quelenna.
  • The Freelancers sorted through Carpalor's relatively small hoard, leaving supplies, gems, and coin for the kobolds, and taking all the magic items.
    • Acquired:  2900 eagles in assorted coin, 16 50-eagle gems, 7 healing potions, 2 greater healing potions, 1 superior healing potion, Alchemy Jug, Handy Haversack, pendant of inner strength, bracelet of holding, +1 Arcane Grimoire, +1 greataxe
  • One kobold met them a ways after, and led the Freelancers back out of the stronghold.  Other kobolds kept watch from the surrounding cover.
  • The Freelancers travelled back to Orderly Stones monastery without incident and collected their fee of 500 eagles each.
  • After Ana resummoned her familiar, the Freelancers returned to Cliffshadow the following day.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Planting.
  • Arnari Rilynn’sithek sent the green dragon head out to the taxidermists, intending to add it as a trophy in the public meeting room.
