Expedition 33 - Koko's Account

Ian E's Accounts 2022-05-19

The army of chaos rested at the fort whilst we contemplated our next adventure, the great warrior was lacklustre his resolve to sully forth and instead handed his shield to our brightly hatted dwarf colleague, bidding us fare to explore the caves, and joined by a wandering thief.

We decided on the entrance with numerous signs that was fair game, and we crept forward to find a nest of cat creatures who had been adversaries of the crew many moons before, the guards were quickly overcome with one brave dwarf disabling the alarm gong, but alas we heard a cry from deeper in the caverns.

A brief fight on a stairway against what we assumed was their leader, resulted in a swift victory, the brave dwarf taking its head as a trophy, when the rest of the nest came clamouring down behind us, their leader's head only enraging them further, I shouted a call for submission to our glory but they only wanted vengeance.

Amassing ranks we threw flaming oil and loosed our arrows, hacking at the front line of furred foes, our wall of steel was impenetrable but spears from the rear showered our thieves behind, our newest member taking one deadly strike but not without casting an arrow to kill one back.

Brave dwarf instructed me to signal using my shield of fear, and my solid beats drove terror into the feline mass, they ran out of the caves and we took our leave to make an exit and return to the fort, carrying our fallen comrade, with little loot and a few bruises to show.

The crew resolved to return, as the chief now absent meant rewards for the taking.
