Plot
Roamin’s (Yumi) band of thieves are tasked by Nisovin to steal the Sun Key from the Spellblade Elves. The team starts of 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. Immediately, Yumi comes across a Kobold grunt named Pete and convinced him he has no fowl intentions. Pete would have defiantly allow them passage through the cave and explains to his boss the situation, but the Kobold Boss dismisses the idea, calling out Dwarf No. 3 and declaring that he hated Dwarfs because they often steal his gems. The group tries to convince him by explaining he was new and they didn’t know if he was a real dwarf as he didn’t act like one. Confused, the Kobold Boss decides to let them pass until Dwarf No. 3 blatantly told the boss he was a Dwarf after being asked his name.
Hostile tensions instantly escalate and turnes into a battle between the two parties. As the battle progresses, two Whirlwind Kobolds and 10 universally aggressive 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 aggressive Kobolds are rendered dead or unconscious, Gracias introduces Pete to the rest of the party where he is formally accepted and renamed Philhipé by Yumi. Dwarf No. 3 is renamed to Kobold Number Four to prevent similar conflicts from occurring again.
Philhipé guides the group deeper into the cave, to a large cavern full of 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 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 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 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 Snakes that continuously come out of the forest. A Cobra King arises from the ground at the end of the forest, spewing lines of Blood Spit down the path.
