Trouble With Kobolds

Part 1 of a quest

This is part of a story that works as an interactive game. You’ll need to have some paper and dice at the ready! Click here for the beginning of the Medium Adventurers League, and find a reminder of the rules here. You can also return to the Adventurers League Headquarters or head back to the inn for a rest.

You set out from the Adventurers League headquarters, ready for adventure.

The information you read before leaving, on the board at the headquarters, was as follows:

I am a local sheep farmer, and I had three kobold servants on my farm. Recently, the scoundrels stole my rams and fled! I am sure they are in the caves nearby. I offer 15 silver pieces to an adventurer who can track them down and return the livestock. What you do with the kobolds is up to you — I don’t want them back!

There is also a simple map, and after descending to the marsh by the Headquarters, you follow a winding trail into the hills.

Soon you are following a high, straight path with cliffs to your left and a rocky slope to the right. Your home town can be seen in the city, and you also spy a large, dark cave high up a mountaintop to the north.

As you walk, you wonder about this farmer. Was he mistreating the kobolds, perhaps? Were they really willing ‘servants’, and did they even get paid?

Well, you can figure things out when you arrive…

As you are musing on this, you round a large rock and find the path widening out upon a rocky shelf with many thorn bushes. Just then, a wolf leaps out from behind a bush and attacks you!

(Here is a link to a dice-rolling app!).
