16 Tarsakh
We decided we'd clear out the last warehouse before attempting to tackle the heart of kobold resistance in the slums. Aerial surveillance yielded strange conical foot prints that didn't provide much information. Doubtless something big, but what was unknown. We headed out warily.
We surprised a pack of kobolds along the way travelling under cover of the rain that had begun to fall. We made fairly quick work of them.
The warehouse itself served as a nest to a giant scorpion. The thing was massive, maybe 20 feet long. I ended up getting caught in its pincers before the beast was slain. Unfortunately our scouting didn't give us sufficient warning to quaff our poison resistance potions. Maintaining our initiative, we pushed forward to the Fatted Calf to destroy the heart of the kobold menace.
Our approach was fine. We ended up assaulting the 2nd floor by burning out the windows. The goal of getting in the building without taking too much fire succeeded and we were only lightly burned by alchemist's fire. Resistance as light on the top floor.
A choke point with defenses bottled us on the stair until we were able to turn the battle to our favor. We took some hits, but once the corner was turned, we proceeded down to the basement.
A strange glow illuminated the area: fire beetles. We withdrew to the top of the stairs and setup a kill zone and made quick work of them.
The leader of the kobolds had a squad of elite guards and a mass of archers protecting him. We locked down the archers and had a tough time with the elite guards. The leader was a magician of some type, and he ended up breaking my concentration that was locking down the archers. Unfortunately, his positioning led to his demise. After that, we mopped up and barricaded the doors to nurse our wounds. Logru took a pretty heavy beating, and some soul searching will be required.
