The Kobold Cave - Expedition Summary 7/16

Day One [The Brambles]: 

On our way to the Kobold brambles the party was ambushed by a group of wargs. The party attempted to avoid conflict, but the vile beasts are cruel in heart and attacked, of course the brave explorers of Longreach managed to drive them off without too much trouble.

Bernard successfully charmed one of the Kobold foot soldiers to aid us. Although he was limited in his ability to help he was able to heal us, show us exactly where the entrance of the cave where the half-elf had been visiting, and help us fight the other Kobolds. 

The mouth of the cave entrance became Breknar's personal standoff with the Kobolds. The Kobold forces were unable to pass as long as he held his position within the choke point referred to now as Drake Maw Point. Knowing the risks he faced he prepared himself for the afterlife and urged his companions to live another day. However the Gods did deem it his time as his companions refused to waver. Despite grim circumstances, They rallied more courageously than ever seen before. Olivia continued her assault while Tyrdithas carried Bernard to safety and stabilized him. The remaining Kobolds eventually retreated which allowed the party to briefly study the area before returning to town. 

The swamp gas lights the group had witnessed were unusual. They moved precariously and attacked without provocation. There was also a noticeable lack of swampland for lights like this to appear. Wisps are generally found in swamps, however these lights are most certainly sentient, undead, and malevolent. They are illusive spiritual vultures that drain the life of the nearly deceased. Anyone who encounters these are to immediately vacate the area. If you cannot do this, you will have to ensure any of your foes' lives are ended completely. 

While they resist injury from normals weapons they seem to take damage from spells just fine.

Day Two [Brambles - Kobold Cave - Beyond the Maw:  A cave was found just past the maw, its entrance little more than a mouse hole. The party pushed through the trap infested Kobold Den until they found a completely safe and well protected little corner that they would be able to rest at. However the kobolds tracked them down and threw a vial of poison into the confined area.

The group cleared through more of the den and also found another exit.
