Session 27

The Golden North - Part Three
Group Alpha continues delving into the kobold cave in search of the vestige.
Julius takes Thomas Alabaster to the entrance for safety.
Morrigan arrives with Savic in tow, who is now wielding purple magic and sporting a blood-wrought tattoo.
Everyone continues trekking through the caverns, destroying dozens of kobolds.
They discover the kobolds have tamed large serpentine creatures called Gricks, and killed some.
They find out the kobolds seem to worship an ancient green dragon called Illithal, the Verdant Death.
They find the old dragons hoard, and its skeleton.
They fight a massive group of Kobolds including a Vestige-Wielding Kobold Queen.
Verithar arrives to assist in the battle, saying he will take the first pick of the spoils from inside.
They have a hard-fought battle, with the tenacious kobolds even knocking Factus unconscious.
Verithar delivers the final blow, ramming the Kobold Queen with his horns and impaling her.
Verithar then retrieves a golden pauldron, which once belonged to Majorian, and leaves.
Morrigan takes the party to Westbrooke, where they discover Kistarin Yvris has been arrested on charges of corruption.
The party meets a man named Arthur Ewansson, and a mysterious woman wearing red-scale armor, who are representatives of Candleglow.
The party learns there is a large settlement of Dragonborn in the jungles near Candleglow, and that they've been fighting with each other.
The party returns to Starcrest, and purifies the Vestige with Sera.
