The Swallow Tail Festival

  • The party heads out to the Swallow Tail Festival that stars promptly early in the day
  • Behnin is excited to hear that Lonjinko will be speaking at the opening ceremony but disappointed when he discovers that Lonhinko is sick and cannot make it.
  • There are many games to be played
    • The party (Dwarves, Kobold, Minotar and wizard?) lose to the ship writes at tug o'war
    • Arandor narrowly beats the monitor in the pie race … both the kobold and the minitor throw up from the vigorous running. The bard has to quit.
    • In Devil Hunt, Skrimshaw and the cleric score bulls eyes and win stuffed Sandpoint Devils, Arandor hits the target and receives a necklace with a claw
    • They attempt many times to "topple the tower" with a miniature catapult, but fail miserably.
  • They enjoy the free lunch, return their winnings to the Rusty Dragon (including Arandor's pie from the pie race!) And right when Vathus is about to speak, goblins attack ...
    • The party defends the town square from two waves of goblins.  The second including a goblin war chanter and an explosive cart
    • A goblin smacks Arandor in the head with a fish
    • The minitor cleaves one in half
    • The flaming cart is full of fire works and explodes (nearly killing Scrimshaw)
    • Behnins dog fells many goblins
    • Hearing screaming for help the party finds a noblemen beset by a Goblin Commando riding a goblin dog and some more goblins.  Alderen's dog is killed.  The party quickly fells the goblin dog and quickly dispatches the rest.  Sayal is able to get rally the party tactically for the first time.
    • The party rescues Alderen Foxglove who is enamored with Sayal, and rewards the party with 50gp and an invite to go boar hunting with him (as well as an invite to his home in Magnimar)
  • Ameiko gives the party free room for the week for "saving the town.
  • The townsfolk they see are thankful, buy drinks for them … they feel pretty good about themselves … local heroes!
