Shenanigans: Episode 023

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===Summoned by the Baroness===
The party are in Shenanigans. Delanora is knitting a cover for her petrified arm from her old body.
The party is approached by a soft-spoken young female servant from Baroness Jezebel's Estate. She asks Corinaldo Vasquez aka Kourie Silvertongue to come back to the estate, the Baroness has work for him. Kourie says the rest of the party are his employees, then the head over to the Estate.
The tone inside the estate is more subdued than usual. The party are escorted before Baroness Jezebel, who is hiding in her bedchamber, laying down in bed, hidden behind some netting. Her appearance has changed, like she has been disfigured. 
Baroness Jezebel explains she was travelling from Wikkthronrarenta when her carriage was stopped and she was badly beaten with a stick. Afterwards the Baroness had turned Ugly. Baroness Jezebel says the penalty for assaulting a noble is death, and asks the party to slay whoever was behind the assault. The culprits were a back of goblins lead by an enormous & hideous Kobold who was 7 foot tall. Some of her staff were slain during the event, and her personal guard is in a critical condition. Also some jewellery was stolen from the Baroness, including a matching set of ruby jewellery that she says the party can keep.
The party take some starleaf from the estate, with permission this time, and deliver it to Cogwrench Hammerbench for Alejandro Carlo's Peg Leg.
The party go to Shenanigans and make their plans. Desmond tells the party that a 7-foot kobold is more than 100% increase in height. Kourie Silvertongue theorises the Baroness was attacked by a magical Ugly Stick. Desmond offers to pay for the Ugly Stick for 500 gold.
Malzi goes talk with one of his professor at Woghorts about the Ugly Stick. The Professor says it is theoretically possible, and if it exists, it would be wise to wear gloves and not touch it directly. Delanora knits a sack and some gloves.
===Leaving Town===
The next day the party talk with the Baroness's Carriage Driver. He isn't able to give more details. The party then leave town on their wagon, east out of town, along with Glib Glob & Krewbarb.
The party arrives to the sight of the ambush. Kourie casts "Speak with Plant" on a nearby tree and fidns the Kobolds went North-West. The party head out on foot in that direction.
As they walk though the woods they encounter a black bear. The party scare the bear away with "Faerie Fire" & "Darkness" spells, as well as Kourie's Elven Dog.
The party explain to the Kobolds, Glib Glob & Krewbarb, that they are after a 7 foot tall Kobolds, and they say that is Flugle the Kobold God who is very scary.
The party decide to set up a trap with their carriage and go up and down the road all day to no success.
===Kobold Casino===
Kourie then decides to check in with his Kobold Casino. The leader of the Casino says that Flugle was too big to fix inside the casino so he got mad and stormed off. Malzi comes up with the plan that they trick Flugle into thinking there is a bigger door so he returns. The Kobold Leader, "Kingy" agrees to the plan and assigned 11 Kobolds as Kourie's followers.
The party hang out in the casino 2 weeks, staking it out, before the Flugle arrives with a goblin entourage. Kourie tries to use his charm, but Flugle doesn't care. Flugle sends in the Goblins to get the Casino Manager, but Malzi puts them to sleep with a spell. Flugle then hits Kourie with the Ugly Stick. Kourie retreats behind Delanora. After exchanging sone blows, Kourie casts Hold Person and freezes Flugle.
The party tie up the goblins & Flugle. When Flugle unfreezes, he mentions serving Cinder the Red Dragon, and breaks free of his ropes. Delanora fights Flugle hand-to-hand, and Delanora knocks him up.
Kourie breaks the hands of the unconscious Flugle, then Delanora excessively ties up Flugle. Flugle has a bag containing the Countess's stolen jewellery and 250 gold. The party escort Flugle & the Goblins back into Bergshire, to Countess Jezebel's estate.
At the estate Countess Jezebel has Flugle & the Goblins executed.
Malzi says he'll take the Ugly Stick back to Woghorts in order to find out if there is a cure. The teacher says they'll get their best minds on it, but it may take some time.
