Alvyns' Journal Entry #8

You know something Crimson, I'm always telling you what is going on with me but I never ask you how you are doing. So Crimson, how are you doing? Do you enjoy the constant desert? Actually better question where would be your favorite destination? Would be stupid of me to assume that I should rule out humid areas? Haha. It would be amazing if the next time I open you up, you wrote in here!

Guess what Crimson, we finally decided to head towards the Castle, this is probably going to be my last journal since it might very well be a suicide mission. But a lot of times it doesn't feel like we're making much progress in this area, hopefully that will change soon. As soon as we stepped out the dome we were met by a group of kobolds ready to attack us... Well not as soon but a few minutes walk we were ambushed by a very well planned attack. They had a magic user and a melee man who did not stop hitting someone who would die. I should probably jot down their abilities just for the future.

  • Fighter - pretty hard to hit but also does a heck amount of damage. At a certain point he goes crazy and is able to make a rapid amount of attacks.
  • Magic User - Easy to hit, has the ability to cast darkness on a person that would swallow any light source the person carries.
  • Riding worms - the ability to burrowing, fairly easy for me to hit but has the ability to swallow and also has a poisonous tail

After some very close calls with some of the party members we were able to defeat them and continued on. But because we attacked the Kobold Hold we are most likely going to get ambushed every time we leave the dome or are out. They were fairly easy but I can only imagine that they will start to through more and more kobolds and stronger kobolds as we continue defeating them. I think moving forward we shouldn't kill them and use this to our advantage, we need to capture them and offer them back to their people for some sort of peace. That's a good idea, this is why I come to you Crimson, you bring the best out of me!

We continued walking I tried to make a detour towards the Roc so we could see if we can find the larger Polestones that went missing in the storm but that did not go as planned. While we were sleeping she flew in and took my tent as I was sleeping... HOW RUDE... What's crazy is that we weren't even doing anything, no one show's me respect around here. First the Kobolds decided to burry me alive then the Roc takes my shelter without even reasoning. Oh that reminds me, I need to find those kobolds, I have something for them for sure! After that happened we just aborted that planed and decided to move away from the Roc but continue to travel west of the dome.

A few days travel we came across a a supermarket that was run by kobolds. We definitely didn't stop by there but looking at how things are going between us and them, we might end up raiding that market. Even though it's probably not smart since its fairly close to the Kobold Castle and a possible kobold village. We made sure to avoid the market and continued west and came across another Small Forest which we didn't spend much time at. But not too far we saw a caravan that was attacked with several dead kobolds around it. They were attacked by what we assumed to be other kobolds? I assumed that it was other kobolds because they had bolts and arrows impaled in them and on the caravan, and they are the only creatures we've come across that use weapons of the sort. Also, not every kobold group likes each other around here. Ahhhhh, the Kobold Oasis... we need to go speak to them or see if we can complete some of the tasks they asked.

Oh did I mention that there was a storm coming as well so we had to find cover fast, but fortunately this caravan had a system that protected us against the storm. Oh let me not forget to mention that there was a baby kobold left in secret compartment in the caravan. We used that as shelter until the storm passed but was destroyed after the storm. We need to get our hands on some of these even if they are a one time use. We don't know which kobold group the child belong to but since we were fairly close to the castle we decided to leave the child on the compound for the guards to find.  

Well, we are now in the castle and this place is a true castle, this is a fortress. They have some ridiculous siege weapons. I'm not too sure how well this mission is going to go. Wait, I don't think I mentioned what we came here to do... Originally we wanted to come here to find the module that would prevent the Voidbringers from entering the dome, but that might change seeing how guarded this castle is. We might scrap that to go after something even more difficult.... right, yeah I know, GENIOUS. If only you can see my face right now. But, we might see if we can rescue the powerful collard wizard. 

I'm saying this now, that will NOT happen, if it does... well I'll be damned. But we'll see how it'll go.
