It starts in Greenest

18 people start praying to Pelor after being preach to buy the hornless tiefling Phineas

With a very mediocre performance from tackle box no one seems to pay attention enough to know what he's trying to do which is probably good considering he was very blatant in his verses. Also the children seem to be distracted by a funny looking one eyed gnome handing out free basic toys as he makes them one by one spinning a yarn about is old place of employment which for some reason had old dead cats? The older kids are aware and snicker.

As I find myself running low on pamphlets, I feel a warmth and look up to the sky, and for just a moment, I could swear I see Pelor in the clouds giving me a thumbs up

I ask around if anyone has heard if Joffrey Elfstain.... 

i hear rumors he recently died 

i feel relieved that he may be no more.... 

maybe i shouldn’t blame all humans, i think it’s time for me to give these creatures a chance. 

I head to the temple to see who these human creatures pray to. 

Augustus barges into the Governors Office sees the governor and gives a brief salute , "Governor, sorry for the intrusion, but time is short and there are more folks to save.  Do ye know where Uncle Arngrim is? The villagers said I should speak with ye."

The well-dressed halfling governor's assistant Wade jumps with a startle sendingthe papers that he has his hands flying up in the air as he turns around fearing for his life barely processing what you're saying. He stutters through processing what you said after you said it starting different sentences as he catches up. "Intrusion! Sorry short folks? Save! Angrim? The Governor! What? Shite you scared me half to death! Ah Augustus! Typical behavior out of you this is no time for... Wait save villagers? Are you actually trying to be useful? You're still causin trouble even when you're try te help ye are. If you're looking for the governor miss Nighthill is on the parapet atop this tower. She's up there gathering information and it's Nighthill now don't make the mistake of calling her by her ex-husband's name especially not at a time like this."

As Augustus turns around to seek the parapet he sees governor Nighthill a distinguished human woman in her early 60s she has her arm in a makeshift sling and field dressing bandaging the right side of her face. A slight wry smile creeps across her face the over-excited Wade giving this stressful time brief moment of levity. "Augustus I never thought I'd hear words out of your mouth suggesting you are attempting to help anyone with anything. Though I also never thought greenest would be attacked by a dragon and a bunch of Kobolds. You wanting to help is a much more welcome surprise of course. So the word I received is true Augustus middelheim is returned and is it also true you are traveling with quite a band of capable adventures?"

"Tymora may have a spot of Good Fortune for us after all. There are a lot of things that we could use you for to help save this town from significant losses. You're correct that time is short gather your party and meet me atop the parapet. There is much to discuss and it's best to do so with everyone that would be involved. If you're looking for Angrim he may very well up at the temple with quite a large group taking refuge up there."

With with the governor's commanding presence Augustus doesn't have a second thought before obliging the fierce sharp-witted Tarnah Nighthill. Augustus gathers the party and brings everyone to the top of the tower where there is a well-made brass telescope that is being used to keep tabs on the surrounding incursion.

Nighthill explains that there are a couple of pressing matters at hand. She explains that to keep is completely surrounded and there is only one hidden way out that can be used to go on missions to save people and The mill which is a vital part of the town. She expresses her opinion but the dragon is not very motivated and must be some sort of accomplice to this attack for if it were truly engaged it would be inflicting much greater damage to the town.

She thinks the most pressing matter is the temple to Chauntea there is a large group of survivors taking refuge within and it is only a matter of time before their safety is breached. Watchmen have seen a large battering ram being carted towards the temple which is surrounded by three large groups of Invaders ready to swarm.

She introduces you to Castellan Escobert the Red. Escobert is a shield dwarf with knotted, tangled, bright red hair. As master of the keep, Escobert is in charge of its defense and is the best source of information on the old tunnel, a disused emergency exit designed for just this purpose.

10Pablo Escobar! Well met my little friend!! What’s this tunnel system all about? Where do we have access to? 

"Ye can call me Escobert thank ye. I run this Keep and am charged with it's security. The old tunnel runs down and out to the stream. It's designed as a secret passage to retrieve water for long sieges but it's never been used. It's locked and I've got keys somewhere in me office but I don't have time to be searching. It's great that you want to help but I don't know if I can trust ye to be rooting around my things just like that, you might be better off picking the lock if any of you are good with such things."

Esco: "Elfstain? I've heard the name, nasty man that." 

Nighthill: "last I heard he was locked up. Lots of conspiracy swirling around that chamber pot of a man. Stuff I don't like wasting time considering sorry."

“Is there any chance we can get in the armory? If we might be running into a dragon I could use some kind of range weapon other than a hand axe”

"anyone else need something long ranged? We don't have anything special but we could round up a couple o tings"

Nighthill: "thank you Escobert, I know Augustus pulled some pranks on you as a youngster but if that key is... Key to getting the people in the temple to safety perhaps send Wade with a couple of them to look for it while I show one of them what they are up against through the telescope. Time is of the essence!"

Escobert: "very well, who will be heading to me office? What weapons do you need?" He calls out to one of his guards. "Hey shortstuff, help these men with their ranged weapon needs."

I refill my quiver and ask if we can get some thieves tools to help with the lock. 

Augustus puts a greatful hand on Escoberts shoulder. "Thanks mates.  I know I was a right shite to ye as a youth.  Im sorry for all that I done.  From leaving shite on the forge to smell up the keep, setting free the beast of burdern, and losing me virginity to yer eldest daughter Medila.  I owe ye a debt mate.  Im sorry.  If we survive this, I will make it up to ye somehow, but for now we need yet to get that key.  Otherwise I may have to break the lock.  Time is of the essence."

Escoberts face turns redder than his beard as a short bow he was about to hand over snaps in two in his meaty dwarf hand.

Escobert: "yes bygones and whatnot... Damnit I was just like you, and Madie always says yer heart was true deep down... Forget about Wade a couple of you feel free to search me office for the keys. They are just an old rusty pair on a brass ring. There are thieves tools I confiscated in me top drawer."

Augustus goes to retrieve the keys.
