Red Light Caverns

[osxmallard]

Word spreads throughout Hlint of a powerful force building in the redlight caverns to the West.  Reports of goblin built seige weaponry are starting to surface as well as a more powerful group of goblins then ever seen in the region.

News of mounted goblin calvary and shamans practicing voodoo is also spread amongst commoners and adventurers alike.

A young bard was reportedly captured and a lock of her hair taken before the goblins dumped her body in the wastelands.  The goblins caved in the entrance to the cavern for no apparent reason but none may enter...

A small strike force was able to teleport into the redlight caves and defeat a large force of goblin cavalry and goblin shamen but alas the shaman leader seemed to be beyond normal means of damage.  At least the imminent threat of invasion of Hlint is no longer but this Shaman must be dealt with before he steals anyone elses hair and tortures them.  The caverns are still sealed and will take months likely to clear but they are mostly empty now.

word spreads throughout hlint and the surrounding area an attack of great numbers by the goblins of the wastelands was repelled by the duty captain and her men leaving a weakened force retreating back into the sealed cavern system.
a small group coming together just after this battle tracked down the retreating force and followed them back into the caverns, eliminating the visible threat.upon stumbling into a deeper set of caverns the source of the stronger goblins was discovered and destroyed,while the shaman behind it all was put under the blade.
the caves were imploded clear and they are open once again as the daylight shines upon the old clan members back in numbers as before the magical incursion.

rumors of the army being led by a white and red clad woman are being put to rest as it was not the singing priestess of ilsare,but a foul abomination put to rest under the blades of the true womans friends.

Quest Synopsis

The party was passing through Fort Llast when LT Jursen asked if they were the reinforcements for the attack on Hlint. Reports were made that the goblins, led by a woman dressed in white and red made a fierce assault on the town. It was repelled only through the tenacity of Captain Nezfen and reinforcements from Llast and Haven.

The party arrived in the wastelands to find broken bodies and equipment littering the surroundings. They gained entry to the city to speak with Captain Nezfen who again spoke of the woman (described as Laaren) and how she led the goblins during the attack. She also talked about her men being brave and able to repel the deadly assault. The party made a choice to go after the army itself instead of staying in Hlint to defend the town in the event of another attack.

The party headed to the wastelands to follow the trail of the retreating army. Upon arriving at the camp, they were greeted by a vicious set of goblins (and since they were not prepared at all it wiped out half the party). Learning that they should not underestimate the goblin threat and the new breed of goblin, they retreated themselves, prepared correctly, and found a secret entrance into the red lights.

They fought all the way down to the goblin leader who made a deal with them. Information about the new shaman for his life. After handing over the information, Sabrissia let him go, much to the disdain of several party members. They found a heavily warded door and with much effort by the mages, the door was opened and they went below the red light caverns.

Along the way they found a glowing stone which they destroyed and was an object which granted the high shaman many of his powers. Many fights and traps ensued until they reached who they thought was Laaren. Turns out, it was just a clone of Laaren the shaman had created from her hair.  After questioning her and realizing they did not believe it was the real Laaren, she tried to kill them all. They killed the imposter Laaren and headed for the supreme high shamans lair.

They reached the shaman and he summoned 2 erinyes demons to help save his life. The party killed the demons and shaman, and as they did his altar and other equipment melted into the earth as if it was never there. The party returned to Hlint to report their success and Alicia thanked them for their service to Hlint and it's citizens.
