| == Plot ==
| |
| [[Yumi|Yumi's]] (Roamin's) band of thieves are tasked by [[Nisovin]] to steal the Sun Key from the [[Spellblade Elves]]. The team starts off with just three members: Yumi herself, [[Squinks]] the Keen Gnome Bard, and [[Gracias]] the Okagnoma Gnome Sorcerer. Yumi also hires a [[dwarf]] [[Warrior]] named [[Bumbley]], whom the team renames to Dwarf Number Three.
| |
| | |
| Nisovin drops off the party and advises them to head into the [[Glistening Caverns]] directly north of their campsite. The group mishears Nisovin's directions and heads towards the cave, believing Nisovin told them not to do so, where they then encounter a group of [[Kobolds]]. Yumi meets with a Kobold grunt named [[Philhipé|Pete]] and convinces him he has no foul intentions. Pete would have allowed them passage through the cave, but he must ask the [[Kobold Boss]] and explains the situation to him. The boss dismisses the idea, calling out Dwarf No. 3 and declaring that he hates Dwarves because they often steal his gems. The group tries to explain that he is new to the group, and that they don't know if he is a real dwarf, as he doesn't act like one. The Kobold Boss does begin to warm up to Dwarf No. 3, until Dwarf No. 3 blatantly gives his name after being asked by the boss.
| |
| | |
| Battle begins between the two parties, during which two [[Whirlwind Brothers|Whirlwind Kobolds]] and 10 universally aggressive [[Gemling|Gemlings]] join the fight. The Gemlings, posing little threat, are quickly destroyed by the Kobolds. Gracias flanks the Kobold party, and pauses to give Pete a hug. In doing so, Pete becomes friendly to Gracias, and they both sit out to spectate the rest of the encounter. Dwarf No. 3 is then infected with rabies by a Whirlwind Brother, while under the charm of Squinks. Once all the aggressive Kobolds are rendered dead or unconscious, Gracias introduces Pete to the rest of the party, and Pete is formally accepted and renamed [[Philhipé]] by Yumi. Dwarf No. 3 is also renamed Kobold Number Four to prevent similar conflicts from occurring again.
| |
| | |
| Philhipé guides the group deeper into the cave, to a large cavern full of [[Gemling|Gemlings]] and a very large gem in its center. Philhipé goes to lick the large gem, which his boss had told him to never do, but nothing happens. Then as Kobold #4 tickles the gem, it awakens and is revealed to be the [[Gemling#Gemlord|Gemlord]], which turns all nearby Gemlings aggressive. In the course of battle, the Gemlord grows arms and spawns more Gemlings upon being hit, as well as Amplifying Crystals that reflect its giant laser beam. The team tries various techniques to attack the Gemlord, including charming it and enlarging Kobold #4. Despite the spawning of many Gemlings, the Gemlord is eventually defeated and shatters into pieces, causing the surviving Gelings to turn passive.
| |
| | |
| After the combat, Kobold #4 cures his rabies by drinking water, and the group heads out of the cave and towards a bridge guarded by [[Nessi|Nessi the Bridge Troll]]. Nessi demands that each traveler pay a treasure card to pass, or face his [[Eaglebear]]. He grabs Kobold #4's Amulet of Bones and allows Kobold #4 to pass first. Nessi refuses to let gnomes cross, so Squinks disguises as a dwarf and offers his Spellwall Armor, and he also passes alone. Yumi attempts to give Nessi gems, but Nessi instead demands a kiss. Nessi becomes infatuated with Yumi and allows her, Gracias, and Philhipé to pass. Beyond the bridge, Kobold #4 encounters a gnome girl who claims to be Nessi's sister, though Nessi himself had said he was an only child. She eagerly gives Kobold #4 a kiss, stealing his Bladeturn in the process.
| |
| | |
| The group approaches an encampment of [[Elf#Spellblade|Spellblade Elves]], and they decide to sneak past it. Gracias casts Rolling Fog to proceed into the forest unseen, and Yumi freezes a Spellblade in their way. Having successfully avoided the Elves, they come across a long path lined with [[Blood Snake|Blood Snakes]] that continuously come out of the forest. A [[Blood Snake#Cobra King|Cobra King]] arises from the ground at the end of the forest, spewing lines of Blood Spit down the path.
