Sunday night recap: Part: The First

Adelbert Vaksmann

Tonight's session found the intrepid party still locked in combat with the young Blue Dragon with the dragon's handlers about to join in the fray.  Adelbert the Rogue found himself a little too close to the dragon and his hoard was suffering from both dragon's lightning breath attack and the scarab beetles guarding his coinage.

Adel started to disengage himself from the fight when someone landed the killing blow.  The Hobgoblin captain and his bugbear troops were rushing to the scene as the dragon fell.  As he was running the captain was barking instructions (a pretty cool app for Fantasy Grounds II has characters only being able to read the languages listed on their sheets, and since Adel only speaks Common and Dragon, he had no clue what the hobgoblin was saying), and being the flamboyant, wise ass that he is, Adel starts to shout in a bunch of gobbleydeegook, imitating the hobgoblin.  Bad mistake.

The next thing Adel notices is the spear shaft protruding from his stomach with a pissed hobgoblin on the other end.  Adel drops and it looks like curtains for the rogue.  But today the Lady brought Adel weal, not woe and faster than you can say, 'Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die', Adel with a little healing help (and DM dice roll fudging, wink, wink) jumps back up with 1 hp left and sneak attacks the flank hobgoblin captian and scores a crit. 

Shortly, the battles over and the good guys (that's us) start looking the the dead bodies for goodies, took an extended rest and headed further into the natural cavern complex looking for the leaders of the cult.
