    Dire draws strength from Panmorn's words and quickly prepares his next spell as he carefully maneuvers backwards. He realizes that while his magic may be deadly to groups of foes, it is equally dangerous to his allies. He carefully aims his next Scorching Burst spell behind the most injured of the two Denwardens. The creature is further injured by the resulting flames, but remains standing.

    Barran backs away from the den wardens and plays a stirring song directed at the kobold champion. The kobold seems demoralized, and his companions seem determined to take the creature down. He then attempts to play an ear-shattering note at the bleeding kobold in front of him, but the creature manages to shrug off the effects.

    Oh good, more kobolds - Round 4

    Irontooth growls at the assault, shoving Panmorn aside to fall in at his flank before making two sweeping blows. Only one connects, but it gives the denwardens behind him a chance to make their move. Both creatures form a flank around the wizard and strike out at Dire and Barran, inflicting minor pains.

    Suddenly, the cavern is lit with a bright, fiery light. Cries of pain echo off the stone walls, and when the dust clears, Panmorn and Halvard clutch their faces in pain, trying in vain to brush away the fire that momentarily engulfed them. The wyrmpriest smiles; a thin curl of smoke escaping the corner of his mouth.

    The paladin felt a surge of holy energy flow through him as he struck, and he new Pelor had answered.

    Reeling from his wounds, Dire manages to maneuver himself to best line up his next spell for maximum effect on the party's foes. Reaching deep, he heroically casts the spell, but leaves himself open to another attack from a kobold as he does so. As he watches flames fully engulf one kobold, deeply burn another, and singe Irontooth, he hopes it was worth it.

    As the kobolds fall, the din of battle begins to echo less, allowing Barran's flute to be heard, to great effect. Irontooth is pushed back by a wave of sound, allowing Halvard an opportunity to take a swing at the disoriented champion.

    Seeing Irontooth bloodied and battered from the multitude of wounds he has taken, Zevi focuses his attention on the monster and lets fly with two more arrows. The first arrow flies true but doesn't seem to hit as hard as Zevi would have expected. Zevi's Elven senses and training tell him at the last 2nd that his 2nd shot is flawed, and he adjusts it as he releases - the change works, letting the arrow strike true.

    Oh good, more kobolds - Round 5

    As the battle continues and Irontooth takes blow after blow, his body begins to weaken. Zevi's arrows pierce his chainmail, and he slumps down onto one knee and steadies himself. The adventurers momentarily think him defeated, until he bounces back into an attack stance and charges at the ranger. He is clearly enraged. Luckily, his frantic swings find no purchase. He seems to have gained some strength.

    Even though he's on his last legs, Irontooth still has Zevi backed into a desperate situation. He doesn't hesitate to raise his bow and rapidly fire off two arrows as the brute strikes out at him. The arrow punches through the monster's armor easily.

    The adventurers stand victorious in the large, well lit cavern. They spend a moment quickly searching the bodies of their foes. And now, with a moment to finally take in their surroundings, they notice the pile of treasure in the north east.

    Halvard stands up from searching the battered body of Irontooth, the hobgoblin. He holds out a small silver key and a rolled up letter.

    My spy in Winterhaven suggests we keep an eye on any visitors to the area. Continue to lead attacks on the area. I need time to completely open the rift and summon the minions of Lord Orcus.

    -Kalarel


    Amongst the treasure pile, Dire finds some gold and, perhaps more importantly, a large chest. It is locked.

    I'm going to assume you guys search dead bodies after a battle to save time.

    "Here," Halvard says, holding out the key to Dire. "Try this. Also, there was a letter. Apparently someone named Kalarel is working on some sort of magic to summon a 'Lord Orcus'. I'm assuming he should be stopped."

    You need not concentrate hard to remember the name Orcus. He is the demon prince of the undead.

    Dire walks up to the chest and opens it with the silver key. When he lifts the lid, the first thing he notices is the rather large pile of gold coins. But the wizard cannot ignore the ornate piece of armor folded neatly beside it. Lifting it up, he notices arcane symbols etched down the chest. The symbols are a dull umber, as if burnt into the leather. Examining the armor is no challenge for you, and you recognize the enchantment immediately.

    This is enchanted to magically store a power for later use. It can even store the power of another person. Where did Irontooth's lackeys find something like this?

    You have found:

    420g

    and

    Armor of Exploits
    Level 3 +1 Leather Armor
    During a short or extended rest, you can store one at-will or encounter martial power in your armor. It can be your own ability or one of your companion's. You can only store one ability in the armor at a time. You cannot store a power of higher level than the armor (3) and you cannot use a power stored in the armor that is higher than your own level. Once the power is used, you must store another power to use it again.

    Power (Daily): Standard Action. Use the power stored in your armor. If it is an encounter power, you must spend 1 action point to use it.

    "I say we grab the armor and proceed to Winterhaven, the town must know of the peril it is in" said Panmorn as he checked over his gear.

    He then said a silent prayer to Pelor, thanking him for the strength in battle, and asking for protection on the road ahead.

    The adventurers gather their things and head back the way they came. It is several hours later and long after dark before they reach the gates of Winterhaven, which are slung tightly shut. A torch appears over the battlements above and a head peeks out.

    "Who goes there? What business have you in Winterhaven?"

    Barran looked at Dire and smiled a dazzling smile.

    "The problem with fire is that people respond to it with fire. Kind words get responded to with kind words, if you have the knack of it. And...since I do have the knack, maybe we can just hold off on the fire altogether while we're in the city, at least until my words fail?" Though the meaning behind his words were crystal clear, his demeanor was laid back and friendly, as though there was no doubt in his mind that Dire was perfectly able to control himself and life was good.
