The summary of courage

Many years had past since the four companions had saved a young lady-elf in the backstreets of Fallcrest, yet their herioisism had not lessoned and indeed when the call went out for escorts to carry grain to the starving city of winterhaven, none other than the heros of that distant night stepped forward to once again show their bravery.

"Kobolds" Grundelmeyer said emphatically, I am sure the little dragonkin where involved. They have taken 4 of the last 5 of the shipments the church has arranged to carry. I am sorry but we have no coin to pay the likes of heros as I know you three..... [a stern look and sudden movement by Kalvin, the paladin of Bahamut cought his attention]....uh... four..... I meant no disrespect master halfling, but you know I hear the rumours and some of those [looking at the paladin] uh... well you know... uh... never mind.. Well the four of you would make excellent escorts and as I was saying, I no have the coin to buy such a guard on my wares. However, I have made arrangements that you might carry a certain object for a jeweler friend of mine...Ah! I see you know him.... Yes well he does have coin to buy your time and If I could impose on your generosity, perhaps you could take my shipement with your other parcel and give my donation the protection it deserves!

After a brief discussion the group decided that the offer proposed was the best for all involved. They need only be an escort and they would have a priest of Pelor owing them a favor, as well as full payment for a job that was sure to be well done. Trouble started late into the first day when the stalwart band realized that the wagon in front of them had been ambushed and taken off the trail. Follwing the group discovered a warren of kobolds that they deemed to be the culprits behind the recent loss of shipments. After tracking the wagon to its demise in the grasslands the group found that there were indeed kobolds behind the attack. Following the trail of flower left behind by the draconic minions, the party sought to strike a blow into the heart of the kobold camp. After hours of planning and even hours of execution, the group had successfully cleared the kobold warren of their leader Irontooth Schmaus, as well as recovering 2/3 of the loss provisions. Although they let a formidable kobold wyrmpriest escape, the party seems confident in their abilities and they are sure the next time the see Skullwalker they will not let him get away so easily.

All in all the party finds itself victorious with only the question of how to get the remaining supplies to winterhaven without the means of a cart or wagon to cary it and them.
