Session Report: Against the Bloodreavers

Far north of Dalton's Camp on the western face of the White Mist Mountains, the heroes have journeyed into the area where Jadonkos believes they will find the Bloodreaver tribe lair. The heroes spend time following trails, staying hidden from patrols and working their way towards the lair.

They eventually find a clearing in the woods near a shear cliff face. There is a large pit dug away from the cliff face and a few tents scattered around the area. A long hobgoblin stands guard near a crack in the cliff face that looks as if it might enter into a deeper cave.

The heroes stalk the place for a few hours. They watch patrol patterns and find a good place to hunker down in from which they will launch their attack. Mizuni and Dorrin scout forward to attack the lone guard. The heroes quickly cut down the guard before he can raise an alarm and kill the resting guards in the tents before they can enter the fray.

After a quick rest they charge into the cave. A pair of soldiers and several archers stand guard. The archers hold the high ground and pelt Bracken without mercy. After the dwarf falls unconscious they switch targets to Dorrin who has climbed up onto the ledge with him. Dorrin survives their attacks with a bit of luck and his friends, having cleared out the soldiers move in and finsih off the archers.

Pressing deeper into the lair the heroes follow worked stone hallways to another large natural cavern. Here they meet another band of hobgoblins. The hobgoblins fall quickly to the focused attacks of the heroes, but not before one races out of the place an into a crevasse heading deeper into the lair.

Dorrin creeps forward after the archer and finds a room packed with many goblins. He attacks one and the goblins move quickly to bottleneck the heroes in the entrance to their ground. It is a long and hard struggle, but eventually the dwarf protectors manage to get through to the front lines and control the flow of the battle while Dorrin and Muzuni strike down the enemies. Algea makes short work of many of the goblins with his blasts of fire. Eventually the battle is down to only an axe wielding goblin leader and a goblin hexer who has covered the battlefield with an obscuring fog. The heroes bring these two down and make ready to press onward to find the leader of the Bloodreavers.
