After navigating that “treacherous“ river we continued travelling to the ancient ruins to the north east where we discovered an ancient town.
From what we could tell the ruins were centuries old but there were some inhabitants rather recently.
We stumbled across the remains of a kobold camp.
After exploring the ruins we came across a scroll in a metal container. The scroll was written in Sylvan. Alas, none of our party could read Sylvan.
Unfortunately these kobolds fell prey to an unknown beast.
We decided to lay in wait and ambush this unknown threat.
As time passed the remains of the Kobolds came back to life as a will-o'-wisp and an swarm of floating lim and appendages.
We fought these off and were able to lay them to rest.
As more time passed we soon learnt what had eateb the kobolds. Our target was a ravenous giant, whose sole purpose was to devour anything it could find.
The giant returned carrying a Giant goose!!! It very much reminded me of an old tale from my homeland.
At first Leaf had idea to try and convince the giant that he himself was a giant, an even bigger and nastier one, who had laid claim to these ruins now. He did this by standing atop a tower inside the church.
Miraculously the giant believed this tall tale , we then tried to convince the giant to leave as we had heard of other places that the giant could feast. As it was about to leave we then struck and m our kove. It was far better to slay the beast here and now than to let it wander around causing more destruction.
We slew the giant and befriended the goose, by setting it free.
It turns out that the goose knows Sylvan and we were able to decipher what the scroll was.
The scroll was a list of 4 ancient sylvan outposts that were not marked on any other maps.
These outposts were:
- port village on the west coast
- an outpost not given a description along the river
- a second outpost not given a description directly to the east of tower haven
- finally a mortuary to the far east
After we befriended the goose we offered it sanctuary in tower haven in exchange for some of its literal golden eggs.
The goose said it would pop over after collecting a few things from its home
