Finally!

After a week of travelling with the paladin, we finally reach the town of Brandenburg. Well, I use the term "town" very loosely. The grounds of my family's estate is bigger then this "town", but I get ahead of myself.

As we approached the Brandenburg Gate, we were greeted by two of the townsfolk, a city-goblin named Grimshaw and a dwarf by the name of Mortis, residents of the town or some such, I really wasn't paying much attention past their names, they are common after all. Anyway, after the introductions were made, we were set upon by a group of kobolds. I knew that my aim and training had been lacking, since the incident with the pelicans, and I had not practiced as I said I should have, this showed in our battle with the kobolds as most of my spells either sailed way overhead to strike something behind my target, or smashed into the ground in front of it. I must admit that Farol was great, being surrounded by the vile little creatures and taking them on.

The goblin on the other hand ran. She said she was going to fetch the town guards. It took a while for them to arrive, but in the end they did. In the interim both Farol and the dwarf inflicted most of the damage, while I did eventually score a couple of hits, but not much more then that.

Afterward, we went to the tavern to meet with the lord of the town as well as some of the other townspeople. I was surprised to see an elf in the tavern. Meeting with the lord, who really could only barely just be called that, he told us that the town had been under attack by the kobolds or some-such, and some other things. I drifted in and out of the conversation. When he left, the four of us decided that it would be an idea of we investigated the problems of the lord, so before leaving the town, we decided to gather what information we could about the kobold attacks. I decided to speak with the elf, due to our common ancestry I felt I might have made more of a connection with her then the others. She did give us some interesting information, as well as a map of the surrounding area where some of the attacks had taken place and that some kobolds have been spotted toward the south of the town.

We also got some information about a recent visitor looking into dragons. But he hasn't been heard from since he left for a site near the town, southwest I believe.

So our course from here is to investigate what we believe is the kobold stronghold toward the south and from there head southwest to investigate the ancient site. I will write of our findings when we return to the town
