Either Dogland to hang with canines or Lizard Swamp for treasure hunting.
Inclined to go to the swamp. It can be difficult to find a job as an adventurer when you don't have experience nor reputation, and is a kobold. Monsters with treasures don't require patrons to be lucrative.

Les go check out the Avians. The birds will know what's up.

>>802202
hang with birbs, see if you can't land an out-of-mountain-range expedition gig

Explore the lizardmen jungles! Green is good, and so is gold.

More lizards, they should take kindly to fellow reptiles like our adventurers.

Lizards are cool, and if the swamp's hard that just means that once you know you can handle that you know you can handle anything!

If you prefer to wuss out and have an easier first adventure though, go desert.

West screams "obvious trap" to me. East sounds cool.

The band of adventures venture overland into the hilly land of the birds. They arrive at Birdbath just past noon, and the streets and skies buzz with activity. Following the standard operating procedure for heroes-for-hire, the trio finds seats at the biggest tavern in town and filters about to track down leads on some jobs.

Ricci: "Those dudes over at Kippi's Roost have always been weird, but they've gotten really withdrawn lately. My brother went by there the other day and said he saw a bunch of weird red lights and chanting and dudes in black robes. Bet it's demon stuff. If I was braver I'd go there myself and see if I could get rewarded one of those nice big demonhunting bounties."

A page on the bullettin board lists a bounty for a beast out in the foothills to the east, with a basic map scrawled at the bottom. It describes the beast as ten feet tall, covered in sharp quills, and a kidnapper of men and women alike.

Investigate the black robes and chanting.

When in doubt, go for the cult. Every adventurer gets their starts with a cult or two

The black robes and demons and chanting sounds like the work of HUGE NERDS, who need to be put in their place!

Aw, that beast doesn't sound so tough! Let's hunt it.

The cult does sound like the most interesting.

Go after the cult! Also, make a note of the number on the bottom right of the bulletin board, it may come in handy!

The beast sounds neat!

Hunt that beast.

KILL THE BEAST!

Get those cultists!

We should start out modest.

Go for the beast. We need a good mount.

the robefolk are probably just moody teens

sounds easy enough

Go for the beast.

The dudes in black robes sound like they could get urgent if they go unchecked! Lets fuck em up

Literally everything is going to rape us, this is a Trout quest involving kobolds.

a big thanks to https://www.furaffinity.net/user/v1llainous for doing this guest update for me

The gang gets directions to Kippi's Roost. It's a little town, peopled by rather conservative types, with only a few hundred Birds living in the trees here. Its greatest claim to fame is that a moderately famous Birdfolk hero was born there. They fail to mention that she often said she hated the place.

They walk for a few hours. The paths aren't well maintained, but they are servicable. Serves them right for not having wings like the denizens of this land.

By the time they arrive on the outskirts of Kippi's Roost it's starting to get dark. The trees of the Roost are surrounded by a clearing of felled trees, causing a nice open ring around the town.

Just like their contact said, there's a red glow coming through the windows of the biggest, most central building. Distant chanting wafts through the air, and the sense of evil pervades the air. This is ABSOLUTELY demon stuff. Soos, Arila, and Gorri can already taste the nice big demon bounty from the church.

Seems like there's stairs and ladders going up the sides of the tree trunks and bridges connecting the different nests, allowing the trio entrance. But how should they proceed? Should they be stealthy and avoid contact, or should they charge in ready to fight while they have the element of surprise? Or maybe some other method?

given that the party is 2 fighters and a mage, stealth probably isnt the best idea
though maybe, since they ARE kobolds, which are notoriously bad at door kickery

i think gorri looks like she'd rather kick in the door regardless of the actual plan though so we might as well plan for that behavior

:]

Stealth is a reasonable option if we can manage it. The more we can inform ourselves of what they're up to, the better chance we have of coming out in one piece.

Of course, it's not likely to go according to plan considering our party comp, but maybe we can at least ensure an advantageous position when we start knocking heads!

>>804045
Stealthy! Climb up the trees and enter from the second floor. A height advantage is usually a good start to a battle!

Also you'll get to see what kind of demon stuff they're doing before you charge in.

Have some one climb up the tree on the right but have the Spellcaster covering them, never know when a cultist could walk out.

We have a stealth advantage: one red kobold

Attempt to sign up your fists for the cult.

>some other method?
OF COURSE! Singing Strippergram! The classic.

>>804108
Seconding.

The question is, should we dress up Arila as a stripper, or all three?

>>804109
It should be all three. What could possibly go wrong.

Sneak, then when you see someone important looking, jump em.

Sneaky!

Opting instead to take a stealthy approach, the trio sidles up to the upper level of the town by way of convienent ladders, figuring that walking in through the front door is actually quite the opposite of the approach they want to take. Strangely enough, the town seems almost deserted save this big central structure, and sneaking right up to it is an easy task even for the brightly-colored 'bolds. On the second level they run into a guard, standing outside the demon-tower. The black-robed birdfolk holds a spear and stands directly in the upper-level entrance. He's doing a good job of being a guard!

With no way forward other than through, our adventurers will have to do something about this obstacle of a bird! But what? Soos has his fists, Gorri has her large halberd, and Arila has some pretty basic magic-- Nothing like a handy "silently kill anyone you want" spell. Magic is hard to do quietly as it is!"

Please include "dice 1d20" (without quotes) in the email field when you suggest, or it will not be counted! A result will be chosen randomly from the most popular suggestion!

Wait it's two Fighters and a Mage. No Rogue.

Uh, well, I don't want to cheeze out my roll, so uh... how about Soos grabs the bird and tosses him off the ledge? With the element of surprise he should be able to do it, and an unarmed specialist should have grappling expertise, right?

Can bird-people fly or glide with their wings even though they're wearing cloaks? If so, throwing him off the ledge may not be the greatest idea...

I think even support votes have to roll? Well, Trout can clarify when the action commences.

can't they just clime in through one of those conveniently placed windows they're hiding under? I mean they're large enough for them to hope through and if they are a bit to high off the ground they can just climb on top of each other's shoulders and then pull the last bold up and then sneak right into the building.

With the power of TEAMWORK, our party of adventurers quickly subdues their foe. Soos, with his lightning-fast movement, flips the bird's dark robe up and over their head and wings, and Gorri quickly pins the flowing garment into the wood of the deck long enough for Arila to tie it all up in a nice neat knot.

After an initial panic the bird assumes it's nighttime and quickly falls asleep.

With their entrance secured, the trio absconds into the cultish abode! Gorri is not the most stealthy of bolds, but it seems that this strange gathering of peepers was not expecting guests, and the circular hallways are nearly empty.

They find their way into the main area, and are met with a most terrible sight.


Several figures sit here along a grand, ornate table, dressed in fancy clothing, bound and gagged and tied to their chairs in front of empty plates. They look afraid! One birdfolk notices our heroes and attempts to peep at them through the gag. Thankfully it doesn't attract the attention of the

standing right behind them, conversing with a cultist.

DEMON: "What do you MEAN you don't have duck liver?"
Cultist: "We-- we don't have it, my lord. I'm sorry. It's-- w=we're birds, you see--"
DEMON: "Bah!"
Cultist: "Maybe we can get a replacement?"
DEMON: "A replacement? A REPLACEMENT?! This foie gras is the CENTERPIECE of my EXQUISITE RITUAL and you have the gall to insist on a REPLACEMENT!"
Cultist: "I'm-- I'm sorry, my lord. I will find some duck liver immediately."
DEMON "You had better! Mortals. They don't know how to have a proper soiree."

That is absolutely a demon, and a very prim and proper one at that! This is going to be a challenge! How will our adventurers deal with this demonic difficulty?

Soos, disguise yourself as a duck liver. You other two, grab some robes and deliver the "duck liver" to the table, where the "duck liver" will deliver a right hook!

>>808266
Approach and ask to join the dance party.

I think if you got the duck liver first and sabotage it in some way it'll offend the demon enough he'll turn against the cultists!

wait, with how prim the demon is, surely being UNPRIM would drive them crazy!

Trout says: Only roll when prompted

So no rolling until further notice. Anyway..

Cover your weapons, then enter and explain that you're just some humble duck liver salesmen, who were brought here by the guards against their will. Tell him that your "wares" are ready to be inspected, if he wants to step outside..
Once he does so, backstabbing damage should be high.

Soos: Dad?!?!? What the hell are you doing here?

>>808295
Can this be true? Please?

>>808295

Seconded. Soos has found his long lost daddy

>>808295
Fourthed. I wonder if spontaneous clothing loss runs in the family.

>>808295
I also agree to this.

Come on guys, those two have nothing in common.
Different eyes
Different horns
Different ears
Even the skin is a different shade of red.

I think it would be too cheesy to have the first real enemy you encounter be someone's relative.

So your saying it's a bad idea.

...But we know it's a bad idea!

>>809498
Yeah, but I'm sure this demon has had sex with a few mortals before, meaning he's probably had lots of kids he don't know about. So je might actually believe the lie of "You're my father!" which will catch him off guard and let us sucker punch him!

It all relies on how dumb this guy is though.

A sudden rush of memory floods Soos' mind and it all makes sense now. The hot summers of his youth-- In actuality, days spent in the pits of the underworld. The red river flowing by his childhood home-- A river of blood and fire. The large manor that he spent his days exploring? Owned by a very prim and proper demon. His always-absent father, the one that created him, for some unknown-- and perhaps forgotten-- evil plan.

He supposes it explains his wide array of non-kobold siblings.

Soos has unlocked a special ability!

It seems that our heroes are going to have a fight on their hands! The demon's looking like he doesn't want to dirty his suit, but there's still three assailants they have to deal with! The situation's looking really sticky! And worse yet, the demon doesn't even recognize his own son! What's their plan of action?

Soos is already running distraction so now's a good time for Arila to start toasting motherfuckers

Gorri, capitalize on Soos' leeroy move and jab the first bitch that tries to break up the reunion

Their plan should be to let Soos get captured, and observe what happens to him, waiting for the right moment to strike.

The demon should be attacked once he's in the middle of "extraction" technique when he's most vulnerable.

Grab Soos' tail and retreat, It's best not to fight in the same room as the demon. Your chance will increase if you lead the cultists away and take them out when you have more of an advantage.

Seize the guards
