 +
The following are the annals of the first [[Heroes of Otan]] in what is dubbed The Primordial Campaign... this according to those who were there.  [[The Primordial Campaign]] was the first and is currently the most powerful party in Otan with their levels up into the double digits.  They have been running over 30 sessions with a number of changes in the headcount.  The narrative revolves primarily around the uneasy relationship between [[Obsidian Black]] and [[Panamon Cree]].  This campaign may be the first to explore '''''beyond''''' [[Otan]].
 +
 
 +
With thirty-plus sessions under their belts, [[The Primordial Campaign]] have visited nearly every country in [[Otan]].  They have ridden battle lizards in the [[Altinqor]] and engaged in sea battles in [[Araldar]].

==Day One==
+
! Session
−
The party, not yet a party, find themselves congregated at the door of The Stuffed Kobold in Balagash, where they find a notice calling for adventurers needed to perform a service for the town governor, [[Irimshik Akimi]].  Those who would eventually become the party joined Balagash's Captain of the Guard [[Anasha Bastiga]] for a pint of ale and to hear out the wishes of the governor.
+
! Description
−
 
+
|+
−
[[Anasha Bastiga]] explained the gist of the desired services as follows:
+
| [[First Session]]
−
The governor's son built a small keep north of Balagash which proved to be indefensible and has since been abandoned.
+
| The [[First Session]] brought the party together at [[The Stuffed Kobold]] beginning a quest under the stewardship of [[Anasha Bastiga]].
−
Locked within the keep is a piece of parchment, for which directions for finding it will be given.
+
|+
−
Return of the parchment will grant the party a prize of 150 gold per person... a hefty sum. 
+
| [[Second Session]]
−
If the parchment is returned in perfect shape... the governor could further reward the party with as large a prize as the deed to the keep itself.
+
| The [[Second Session]] in which an abandoned old keep is stormed by the party.
−
 
+
|+
−
[[Anasha Bastiga|Anasha]], not expecting the party of total noobs to survive a day's walk, much less any violent encounter, granted the party the use of a half-dead mule and a cart, presumably so the remaining survivor could return with the corpses of the brave noobs for burial. He also provided the party with a rough map to, and of the keep.
+
| [[Third Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Third Session]] in which the party divides itself into smaller parties to plunder the keep, but later earns its keep.
−
===First Blood===
+
|+
−
Half a day out of town, the party ranger [[Rayjok]] sensed and upcoming ambush; [[kobold|kobolds]]!  The party ambushed the ambushers and killed them all, surviving their first ever encounter.
+
| [[Fourth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Fourth Session]], which results in a changing of the Captain of the Guard.
−
==Day Two==
+
|+
−
At the end of their first day of travel, the party left the road, set up their watches and camped out in the woods.
+
| [[Fifth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Fifth Session]] in which [[Kuulik]] (goblins) are sorely treated and questions are reluctantly answered.
−
===First Watch Shenanigans===
+
|+
−
The ranger [[Rayjok]] sensed overhead flippy flapping and got a good sight of a [[Dragonwrought Kobold]], also known as an [[Urd]].  He chased it out to it's landing spot.  Much fighting when a second one arrived and attacked the cleric [[Greef Roake]].  Greef's armor proved too much for the beast and the day was won.
+
| [[Sixth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Sixth Session]] in which our heroes prepare ochre jelly flambé with a side of cajun [[Ungir]] (kobold).
−
===Discovering the Keep===
+
|+
−
The party discovered the keep about 1/2 a day's ride further up the road.  It was crawling with [[kobold]]s and [[urd]]s... and a few armored tough looking kobolds of unknown might.
+
| [[Seventh Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Seventh Session]] in which the motto ls learned, "Forget the hearse 'cause I never die"
−
===Laying the Trap===
+
|+
−
The party laid various snare traps to the north side of the keep opposite the keep's main gate.  Additionally, they built a large signal fire to lure out kobolds, leaving [[Panamon Cree]] on the southern end of the keep prepared to ''infiltrate''.
+
| [[Eighth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Eighth Session]] in which our heroes discover that some things never change and some things do.
−
===Forest Gumping to Victory===
+
|+
−
The signal fire did not burn well and was not noticed at all by the [[Urd]] lookouts, who can't see very well in the midday sun. When [[Obsidian Black]] started lighting up trees, however, the [[Kobold]]s acted sending a contingent of [[kobolds]] and [[urds]] out to investigate via an escape tunnel. They engaged the party from the rear, nearly overwhelming them, but [[Matteo]] and [[Greef]] held their own and slowly the tables turned.
+
| [[Ninth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Ninth Session]]: Fifty shades of Black
−
Meanwhile, [[Panamon Cree]] kazzert'd a kobold and engaged another [[Urd]] during his 'infiltration' of the keep and escaped over the north wall. [[Cree]] rejoined [[Rayjok]] (who was struggling with an [[Urd]] he had lured down from the keep tower) and [[Black]] (who appeard from the woods just in time to vaporize said [[Urd]]) and the trio returned to the woods north of the keep (near the tunnel egress) as the remainder of the sleeping keep inhabitants began to rouse and regroup.
+
|+
−
 
+
| [[Tenth Session]]
−
The party collected itself in the north woods to formulate a new strategy.  They decide the Scooby Doo approach, to break up the party and attack the overwhelming numbers in a pincer movement.  Greef and Obsidian mount the assault on the tunnel, while the remainder return to the northwest tower, with Panamon Cree's rope still dangling from it.
+
| The [[Tenth Session]] in which our heroes discover [[Grendel]], [[Grendel]] and more [[Grendel]].
−
 
+
|+
−
The latter group ascend the rope while the former carefully walk down the tunnel corridor toward the keep, noting small kobold-sized openings in sections of the tunnel.
+
| [[Eleventh Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Eleventh Session]] in which our heroes are transported across the map and into a [[Dragon]]'s Lair!
−
===The Scooby Doo Gambit ===
+
|+
−
From there it was a simple matter of splitting the party into two rapid assault groups. [[Greef Roake|Greef]] and [[Obsidian Black|Obsidian]] took on the [[kobolds]] advancing in the tunnel while the rest, under the cover of daylight, stormed the keep.
+
| [[Twelfth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Twelfth Session]] in which our heroes leave their dragon nest to find trouble in [[Aydahar]] society.
−
Between exaggerated claims of abilities and even more exaggerated claims of abilities and much slaughter, Greef and [[Obsidian Black|Obsidian]] pushed back the underground Kobolds.
+
|+
−
 
+
| [[Thirteenth Session]]
−
Meanwhile above ground, the rest of the gang pushed their way into the keep's front door and discovered a troop of 8 armored kobolds and a koboldy looking wizard(?). Shortly (pun intended) Matteo and Rajok felt the sting of kobold magic and the party fell back to the southeast tower.  A short chase was given, but it is not followed up.
+
| The [[Thirteenth Session]] in which our heroes save the city of [[Kara]] and head for southern shores.
−
 
+
|+
−
=== No Rest for the Weary ===
+
| [[Fourteenth Session]]
−
Before the party has a chance to rest and heal up, Greef and Obsidian broke through the tunnel, entering the keep through the armory lock-up on the north wall.  They emerged to find the wizardy kobold and his retinue preparing to defend the keep.  Panamon, hearing the commotion rushed to the front door to give aid. Greef, using his massive ominous presence, intimidated the wizardy kobold into fear and flight. Taking his entire retinue, the kobold skedaddled up the stairs, out an arrow slit, and took to the skies.
+
| The [[Fourteenth Session]] in which our heroes discover ominous things afoot (and afloat) in the [[Garis Triumvirate]].
−
 
+
|+
−
===Hero's Welcome===
+
| [[Fifteenth Session]]
−
Sort of... Back at the old [[The Stuffed Kobold]], the party re-unites with [[Anasha Bastiga]].  Upon making a joke about the party getting papercuts, only to learn they have been fighting kobolds, he is incredulous. He is unhappy.  He explains that there are no kobolds in Balagash Forest.  Trusting the 'evidence' of the Tsar's Guard artefacts, he believes the party and summons the governor to collect "the box".
+
| The [[Fifteenth Session]] in which our heroes come up with a plan that is dangerously similar to the bad guys' plan.
−
 
+
|+
−
In the end, a wagon load of loot and the parchment the heroes were sent to recover made its way back to town. The parchment was returned to the mayor and the deed to the keep was awarded as payment. The loot was sold and each of our heroes are now faced with a difficult decision. One four hundred gold piece wench? Or... four hundred one gold piece wenches? :-)
+
| [[Sixteenth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Sixteenth Session]] in which prisoners are exchanged.
−
==Day Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven==
+
|+
−
As the party re-outfitted itself with its newfound wealth, the late [[Anashar Bastiga]] summoned the party to settle his accounts with them. In that meeting, [[Greef Roake]] and company were asked to return to [[Koboldy Rock]] and return with physical evidence of the kobold infestation there.  Matteo, meanwhile was being counselled by a "friend" to keep quiet about kobolds... a thing he did not do.
+
| [[Seventeenth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Seventeenth Session]] in which the party's fortunes cross paths with a large red dragon.
−
===Strange Encounter===
+
|+
−
On the way to the keep and during the first watch the party witnessed the passing of a military scout team of Bugbears.  In their strange language it could be made out that they were talking about stealing magic, but their destination was unknown.
+
| [[Eighteenth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Eighteenth Session]] in which a new member adds himself to the party and another new member is found in distress.
−
===Fire and Brimstone!===
+
|+
−
Upon arriving at [[Koboldy Rock]] the party witnessed a flying figure dispensing much flame and shouting oaths at the figures beneath him. These were presumably kobolds as evidenced by the scorched outlines of kobolds left behind.  The figure, approached the party in a more or less non-threatening way and announced that there were 'No kobolds in [[Balagash Forest]]'... and then flew off.
+
| [[Nineteenth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Nineteenth Session]] in which a dragon is talked out of its treasure.
−
===Tracking===
+
|+
−
After much investigation the party discovered tracks to a kobold who headed out an east tunnel and then north, presumably heading for home in the [[Ungirsi Federation]].  They party tracked the kobold for 4 hours when discovering a military scout team of Orcs. The party tried to parley with the Orcs (perhaps wisely), but the Orcs were having none of it and attacked.  Much bad form followed but the Orcs were ultimately defeated In honorable combat and the kobold was found in their supper pot.
+
| [[Twentieth Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Twentieth Session]] in which the party is introduced to the many forms of blueness offered by the draconic world.
−
===Back to the Rock===
+
|+
−
Unconvinced that a pair of uneaten kobold ears would be enough "proof" for their commission from [[Anashar Bastiga]] the party scoured the keep once more for koboldy clues.  They discovered the remains of the kobold cleric that had given them much grief on a previous encounter.  In this case, the remains were baked rather than scorched and the body was whole... which was then put in a sack, strapped to Panamon's horse and ridden back to town.
+
| [[Twenty-first Session]]
−
 
+
| The [[Twenty-first Session]] in which the party discovers a more efficient way to get to the Nether World.
−
===Home again, Home again===
+
|+
−
The party rode home hard, so as not to have to camp outside of town.  Arriving in the evening they were greeted with a lone man hanging by the neck from a jibbet.  A sign read "By Order of the Tsar [[Batil Zhurek]], under charges of sedition and treason, [[Anashar Bastiga]] has been condemned to be hanged by the neck until dead."  He was very dead.

Panamon followed Hedgewind through the town, noticing that he was paying deference to various Tsar's Guard and Provincial Troops making their way in and out of the city and city keep.  Hedgewind retired to the city keep where he apparently slept.  A bat was lost.

===Requiem for a Kobold===
+
== [[Songs of Otan]] ==
−
The party, thinking better of riding into town with a dead kobold, gave the creature a proper burial and proceeded to town to take up rooms at [[The Stuffed Kobold]]. 
+

+
The heroes of [[The Primordial Campaign]], lately known as the [[Lords of Koboldy Rock]] and the [[Heroes of Jalinbeti]] are as follows:

Obsidian Black masters riding his Aydahar riding lizard.

The following are the annals of the first Heroes of Otan in what is dubbed The Primordial Campaign... this according to those who were there. The Primordial Campaign was the first and is currently the most powerful party in Otan with their levels up into the double digits. They have been running over 30 sessions with a number of changes in the headcount. The narrative revolves primarily around the uneasy relationship between Obsidian Black and Panamon Cree. This campaign may be the first to explore beyond Otan.

With thirty-plus sessions under their belts, The Primordial Campaign have visited nearly every country in Otan. They have ridden battle lizards in the Altinqor and engaged in sea battles in Araldar.
