Plot
The plot begins immediately, with Yumi's band of thieves tasked by Nisovin to steal a orange glowing Sun Key from the Spellblade Elves. Comprised of only three members, Yumi herself, Squinks the Keen Gnome Bard, and Gracias the Okegnoma Gnome Sorcerer, Yumi hires a dwarf Warrior as the party meat shield. The newly hired dwarf, named Bumbley, is soon renamed by the group to be "Dwarf Number Three," a name he accepts gratefully, although slightly confused.
Nisovin drops off the party at the cross roads corner of the known map. Knowing the party must go "North-East"-ish, Nisovin warns the party from traveling into the cave directly north. Distrusting this lazy sorcerer, the party heads north to encounter a group of Kobolds. Upon arrival, Yumi encounters Pete (to be Philhipé), and impresses him with his manners. In doing so, Pete tries to allow free pass through the cave for the party, but Blue Kobold disagrees with the idea. Calling out Yumi and her party for containing a dwarf, hostile tensions grow between the groups, almost dissuaded by Dwarf #3's questionable dwarf-characteristics. Tensions turned to battle however, when Dwarf #3 revealed his name. During the battle, two Whirlwind Kobolds appear, as well as 10 universally-aggressive Gemlings, all on top of all Kobolds showing signs of rabies.
Gracias flanks the Kobold party, and pauses to give Pete a hug. In doing so, (only) Pete becomes non-aggressive to the party, both he and Gracias sitting out the rest of the encounter. Dwarf #3 is then infected with rabies, by a Whirlwind Brother, who was under direct influence by Squinks at the time. Once the battle is over (all hostile entities are dead/unconscious), Pete is introduced to the party, formally accepted, and renamed Philhipé, in turn renaming Dwarf #3 to "Kobold Number Four" to prevent further naming conflicts.
As the group continues through the cave, Philhipé guides them to a large cavern full of Gemlings and a very large gem. 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 Gemlord, which turns all nearby Gemlings aggressive. In the course of battle, the Gemlord grows arms, spawns more Gemlings upon being hit, as well as Amplifying Crystals that direct its giant laser beam. The team tries various techniques including trying to charm the Gemlord as well as enlarging Kobold #4 to battle it. As time wears on and countless Gemlings are spawned, the Gemlord is eventually defeated and shatters into pieces.
