# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-02-04

#### Events

- We got attacked by a troupe of goblins! We managed to fend them off with relative ease. They looked to be in the employ of the fire giants. We managed to get some food, but otherwise nothing worthwhile
- We continued, finding scavenger birds above the valley where Pogom's camp is. We hear indication of a battle that may be finished. 
    - We find a bunch of goblins picking through the remains of the camp and many dwarves, plus two hobgoblin riders. 
        - Harvey engages one of the riders, and kicks 'em right in the face!
        - Hangmor turns the other rider into a pin cushion!
        - Harvey and I then take out the remaining rider, and Hangmor decimated the entire goblin troupe!
    - A gnome working with Pogom, Gammel, welcomes us at a partially collapsed tunnel entrance, and offers to lead us to Pogom's new camp (presumably inside the tunnel!)  
        
        - We meet with Pogom! He's low on supplies, but has been raiding fire giant locations and freeing slaves.
        - They have some goblins they're hoping we can take off their hands. Sir Laughlin doesn't like the idea. 
            - One of them has a sword, and armor covered in dwarven runes, and a holy symbol of Maugrim fashioned from broken manacles. His name is Ernest.
            - Harvey (and I) convinced Ernest to help us kill the dragon.
        - Pomish, a hobgoblin priest of Crius, tells us some geopolitical details about Kellymandrax 
            - The dragon is more of a figure-head, receiving tribute from the "lesser" kingdoms. Some of the kingdoms are more powerful than Kellymandrax, but they receive the benefits of the dragon's presence (resources, renown, etc..). There are no slaves held by the dragon, though. All kingdoms either believe the dragon is a powerful and rightful leader, or they know better, but all are willfully there.
            - There are ruins to the east, of a place called Stormheim, and reports of strange creatures residing there
        - Greysword, a hobgoblin intent to slay every Clan Sartoz fire giant he finds 
            - He tells us about a surveyor's camp, with many goblins and giants responsible for scouting and mapping out the underground tunnels. He offers to help attack this camp with us.
- We're planning two raids: one with Pogom and full force against a farm, to get food; and a following against the fortified surveyor's camp. The raid on the farm is two days away 
    - Hangmor helps the hunters to gather food, and finds a bear abomination, with spiked tentacles coming out of it's mouth, and a snake's head instead and in place of a bear's tail. 
        - I think this is a bear tainted with the Dark Tapestry, specifically the spawn of Shub-Niggurath
    - Sir Laughlin MacLaughlin fashions one of the chain shirts found into barding for Brandywine
- FARM RAID!!! 
    - Pogom marched 40 dwarven troops, and while they waited, we moved in under stealth to remove the sentries. 
        - Hangmor, Harvey, Ernest, some dwarven rangers, and I find 3 goblin sentries. We take them out without problem
    - We continue forward, moving into the farm lands. The overseers start sounding alarms, and Harvey and I charge in! 
        - Harvey moves with significant speed, closing the distance and attacking! Hangmor and I join in from range. We get 3 of them, freeing... 
            - 24 humans
            - 6 dwarves
            - 12 goblins
        - The dwarves and humans return to Pogom's camp, and the goblins come with us. We arm some of them with short swords and short bows. 
            - One of them is named Swordpit
    - After a successful raid, we depart for the surveyor's camp with the freed goblins and Greysword
