The Unquenchable Fire (River Run)

After returning from Fear and Loathing in the Great Dessication, the party was engaged by Tiersis to go to some ruins in the Etterbrush. She had been excavating there but was interrupted by Kobolds. Duvall, Brisby and Tiersis proceeded to go liberate the ruins and satisfy Calistria.

On the way they impaled their horses, but due to Brisby's timely intervention Josie lived.

They found the Kobolds via Duvall's hawk powers, and proceeded to slaughter them very slowly in a bubble of magical darkness that Brisby created. However, they only killed 7 when they were expecting to encounter upwards of 20.

Descending the shaft in the middle of the ruins they found out that the kobolds had been slaughtered by giant wasps. In a desperate, pitched battle the wasps (both horse sized and regular sized) were defeated. The group then descended for a completely anticlimactic fight against a skeleton in the garb of a priest of Calistria. Tiersis lit a fire at the bottom of the shaft (which was resting on a pool of crude), and the severly injured group rushed back to Riverrun to recuperate at Smalls'.

Tiersis gave them two extremely fine bracelets, each worth 500 gold, in exchange for their help.
