Wiki of The Dungeoneering Crew

After going over their options, our heroes decided to approach the goblin cave while the storm was going full force. They slipped out of the hut and back down to the edge of the crater. They moved east along the rim on the north side until it merged with the floor of the crater. The rain was falling so heavy that they could only barely make out the movement of a single goblin outside the cave. Kipp and Brandy moved around a low body of water, into the crater, and made their way to the side of the crater just around the corner from the cave opening. Brandy went back a little ways and climbed the side of the crater up and over the top of the cave. Using the rain as cover, she moved to an angle where she had a clear shot at the cave opening. Kipp was able to keep her in sight and waited for her to fire at the goblin before he moved. Audra had moved into the valley, on the opposite side of the water that Kipp and Brandy had crossed. She was ready to support a retreat should goblins come pouring out. Brandy fired almost killing the goblin while Kipp rounded the corner and finished the job. It wasn't completely silent though.

They waited a moment, Kipp using his dark vision to look into the cave for any sort of response. Seeing none, he motioned for everyone to come up. They did. Kipp and Brandy, using their infravision, moved into the cave. There appeared to be no one around. They continued moving in while the rest came in behind them. Kipp and Brandy finally made out the figure of a lone goblin behind a wall with his bow ready to fire. As they were moving closer, Audra lit a torch near the cave entrance. Brandy moved up quickly to take out the goblin but found many more backing him up. A fight broke out. Audra got the torch lit in time to make it possible for those not gifted with infravision to join in the fight. There were several more goblins backing up the first goblin, coming from the east. While our heroes began engaging them, Brandy heard a ruckus coming from the southern tunnel. There were goblins coming from that direction as well.

They managed to kill most of the eastern group by the time the group from the south made it up the tunnel. Brandy was ready for them. Audra took up a firing position on them as well, kicking her torch toward the opening so she could see their approach. Oglesby move to a vantage point where he could hide and strike from behind. Pyreece moved up close to the opening and waited. The goblins, maybe five of them came charging up the tunnel. The reached the opening where Oglesby stepped out behind one and delivered a nasty and fatal strike. That goblin fell. This left Oglesby exposed to the goblin behind that one who struck a near fatal blow on him and he went down. The goblin behind that one struck him while he was down opening up the wound more weakening his chance for survival. Brandy and Audra fired into the goblins. Pyreece got a hit in as well while putting herself between the advancing goblins and the body of Oglesby. She managed to pull him back away and bandage the wound. The bleeding stopped and for the moment, he was safe. She turned to reengage the goblins. Not long after that, the goblins were all down.

Pyreece used a dose of the potion of extra healing to heal Oglesby back to full strength. Audra moved down into the southern chamber to see if there was a path out of there. There was not. A quick glance showed it to have mats for beds spread out in there with a make shift table and chairs. She turned around and began walking back. Meanwhile, the rest of them had been attacked by a bore. During their earlier fight, they had heard the screams of goblins from deeper down the eastern tunnel. The bloody bore was a pretty good indicator as to why they were screaming. They put him down. Kipp had captured and tied up a goblin earlier. They questioned him but he didn't tell them much. Mostly implying that the witch would get them. The witch he referred to was Daresh. Brandy and Kipp had moved further down the tunnel and found a chamber with a loan goblin whose weapon broke as he tried to fire it. Kipp moved to kill him.

There was a cage in the room. They must have kept the bore in there and let him out to attack the invaders. The problem with that was that the bore hated them and killed four of them before charging down the tunnel. As they were taking in the site of the cage and bodies, several other goblins attacked from a northern cave. They put them down. As Brandy and Pyreece searched an area full of debris for anything useful, Audra was attacked again from the north. As the goblins charged her, she attempted to intimidate them into surrender. Standing there, soaked in the blood of their brothers, amidst their broken bodies, she yelled, in goblin, “KNEAL BEFORE ZODD!”. The thought of the witch killing them later was apparently more powerful than the thought of them dying immediately at the hands of this warrior so they pressed the attack. Everyone turned their attention to the goblins and they put them down quickly. They found nothing in the debris down there. They found nothing in the first chamber. They regrouped and moved forward to an intersection.

To the right were piles of rubble where the goblins had been digging. Beyond that was shallow muddy water. To the left was an opening into a larger room. Audra looked into that room and found it to be a kitchen/dining hall, with two exits. One exit went to the north while the other went out off the northeast corner heading east. Brandy started up the muddy water. She was confused as to what they were digging for. The carts that were down here were empty. There were no gemstones or metals, just rubble. As she neared a pile of rubble at the end of the hallway, she saw that it turned northward and then she was attacked by rats. She really hates rats. Kipp moved up to help her hack at and stomp them all quickly. He hates them just as much as Brandy and killed them all in one series of hacks a stomps. They continued up the tunnel to the north and found a group of goblin women and children hiding. Kipp offered to let them go but they told him that they couldn't leave, “The witch, she knows all, she will kill you, you should leave.”. Brandy had Kipp ask them what they were digging for. The goblin woman confirmed that they were digging for mythral. She told them that they dug in here and on the stone outside. When asked about finding mythral in the cave, she said she only cooks and didn't know what they found in here or out there. They backed out of there and left these goblins alone. They moved back into the kitchen and as they did, the women and children came out of the eastern tunnel. It apparently wrapped around. They moved to the northern exit from this room. Kipp asked the women goblins who was up there. They told them that Duke Chupo was up there. When asked, she told them he was their leader, then corrected herself, “Witch leader!”.

They moved up into a large room to the north. Brandy used her infravision with Kipp close behind. The rest stayed back with their torches to keep from impacting their sneaking. They spotted a table with weapons and tools on it. Brandy spied three scantily clad female goblins in a pool with a male standing nearby watching them and a big fat goblin sitting in a chair dozing. The fat one was naked except for a soiled loin cloth. The other male had a staff and feather trappings and he ogled the females. He spotted Brandy, yelled something, and poked the big goblin to wake him. He managed to poke the fat one but fell dead quickly after that from an arrow that brandy put in him. The fat goblin woke up, stood up, and moved the take on the halfling. He slowly crossed the room toward Brandy. He was very slow and didn't make it to her. Everyone one charged into the room and attacked him. It took a lot of hits but he finally collapsed in a heap. They searched the room and found three cages, a table full of tools and weapons. On that table they found a nice shortbow, five red tipped arrows, five scroll tubes, and two very nice picks. The other male goblin, Snot Rocket, had a spellbook. They also found a small chest with 79 gold pieces, 122 silver pieces, and 200 copper pieces.

In the scroll cases, they found that two of the five scrolls were wizard spells and the other three were priest spells. The two wizard spells were shield and shocking grasp. The three priest spells were good berry, produce flame, and aid. The spellbook had three spells in it. They were protection from good, sleep, and spook. Kipp told the females that they were free to go, they would not harm them. Pyreece stopped them and asked if there were any patrols out or was this everyone. They only stayed back here serving Duke Chupo. They didn't know what was going on outside this room. They were asked about the cages in the adjoining room. They were told that the cages were for their prisoners. Brandy had Kipp ask if there was any of the little shiny bits of metal around here. They looked puzzled and said, “You took duke chupo's coins!”. Anything they get is usually taken by the witch. They understood that anything they did get came from the great stone that fell from the sky.

After that our heroes remembered the room closer to the entrance in the northern wall. They went back to that room and made their way into it slowly. It really smelled bad. They found it to be a torcher chamber of sorts. There was a bed with the body of a female goblin who had been blasted with lightening bolts. Her clothing suggested she was the shaman of the tribe. She was a mess. There was a table with old rusty tools of torcher. They left the stink and then left the caves.

That's where it ended.
