27/8 to 1/9/47 Tabletop 12 - Selatine-Belaras-Selatine

26-27/8/47, Selatine: At the same time as a delegation from the new kingdom of Nerath led by Princess Anna Bronze was staying there overnight, a kobold emissary of Stonehell, Rama the Friendly Kobold, the dragonslayer of Stone Tooth, has visited Lady Vex's hall beside the goblin Mreggle, a friend of Selatine. Apparently there was some contretemps in the Hall as one of Anna's party was unmasked by Bright Star and Danor Gordak  - indeed found to be the Rogue Nightshadow in disguise! He has been exiled from Selatine, going to Stonehell with Rama. 27/8/47 Lady Vex asks to meet with the adventurers Trystan, Ying Fu et al, with a request that they avoid conflict with any Stonehell kobolds they encounter, and convey her good wishes to their leader, Trustee Sniv of the Kobold Market.

Bratanis Group:

26/8/47, Bratanis; After being pushed onto the back foot by demonic corruption, the local adventurers push deep into hobgoblin territory, to try to weaken the enemy, and find allies. They spot a patrol of hobgoblin warlocks with undead, moving up a path towards some ruins. After scouting they figure out they are about to head into a small army of foes. Falling back, they set up an ambush on the path, taking out some cultists to get information on the cult's weaknesses. They continue to move and strike, delving into an ancient battlefield to limit the cult's supply of undead, and heading far afield to find potential orc mercenaries (via an inprompt pit fight). Sadly the hobgoblins seem to be moving as well, as a flight of manticores is spotted in the distance... 

When the adventurers return, they meet a representative of a merchant group, who says he wishes to keep Bratanis in human hands (and the trade routes open). He mentions a powerful item which could help Bratanis. It just needs one little bank job...
