The Silver Cup

The party was caught in a storm off the coast of Yuzne and the captain beached the damaged ship in a cove. Not wanting to wait the party headed for the town of Kodyma along the old and largely unused coastal road through the dense woodland. Along they way they picked up some kobold trails, followed them and ambushed a small party of them.

On reaching Kodyma and after having spent the night at the Fire Mountain inn they head out to the outlying farms for information on the kobold raids. They discover the farm of Mr and Mrs Vasylyna has been raided although little of value was stolen — only a small silver cup of sentimental value to the farmers. The cup is described by Mr Vasylyna as being inscribed with a pattern of "odd lines and such". The party resolve to track down the kobold raiders but arrive too late and see them sailing off taunting them with the silver cup as their prize: "Keep the coin! We have the shinier prize!"

The kobolds were sailing for a small group of islands and the party resolve to find a sea chart and boat and try and hunt them down.

Having acquired a small sailing boat and a good chart of the islands they head south. Along the way a clay scout homunculus lands on the ship watching everyone. When a second clay scout arrives half an hour later, Elora attacks and the two constructs are soon slain and sinking to the bottom of the Great River.

The party landed on the first of the island. A heavily forested island with a small cove and a path leading upwards. A small boat was poorly concealed with branches.

Helena scouted ahead and found a small bandit group. The group agreed to asked them for information on the kobolds but were met with demands for money and threats. The bandits were eager for a fight and attacked when the party declined to pay.
