Kaverns & Kobolds Two: The Electric Boogaloo

Welcome to the Kaverns & Kobolds Klub (/kkk/).

This source will be dedicated to posting resources and session logs for a whacky low-level 3.5e adventure featuring an all-kobold party, with the recurring theme of (((gnome))) genocide.
The game begins at lvl 1 using standard 3.5e rules, with a few houserules. The setting is generic and uses elements from various d&d settings. Characters begin at lvl 1 with 40 point buy stats, and all PCs recieve Dragonwrought and Dragontouched as a bonus feat!

Adventure Synopsis:
>For centuries, the kobolds of the Spawncamper tribe lived in rugged peace, amassing great wealth in the mines and only suffering occasional mass casualties from battles with neighboring goblinoids, gnomes, gnolls, dwarves, and really everything else. However, that changed just a months ago, when the tribe's clergy stopped recieving bonus spells from their almighty Lord and Savior: the Devil Kurtulmak. The Silence of Kurtulmak lasted for only one week, but the event shook the core of the tribe. In their search for answers, the tribal leadership determined that the cause for the silence was for the fact that they had failed to wage war on the neighboring gnomish kingdom of Glimmersburg for too many years. Intent on proving their devotion to their lord, the fanatic kobolds rallied their forces and planned an all out assault on Glimmersburg and its neighboring villages.
.....
>The invasion resulted in catastrophe. While the Kobolds fought well and were skilled in the arts of gnome-slaying, they miscalculated the strength of the gnomish kingdom's alliance with the nearby dwarven clans, and were forcefully pushed back and outnumbered. They also never expected to be flanked by svirfneblin from the underdark blocking off their path of escape. Outnumbered and surrounded in three dimensions, the Spawncamper tribe suffered casualties like they'd never seen before, pushed to the bring of extinction. What's more, the war revealed veins of rich mineral resources that the kobolds had been mining, and the gnomes of Glimmersburg decided they would annex the territory of the spawncampers and get rid of the kobold nuisiance once and for all. In a last bid effort, the tribal leadership set off a series of explosive traps that collapsed the majority of the mines that had been taken over by gnomes, causing mass casualties on both sides, but buying some of the remaining kobolds time to escape. Spawncamper tribe was all but destroyed, with the few that survived scattering in every direction for survival. In a The Gnomes currently occupy what remains of the mines, and are intent on slaughtering every last one of them.
>But as the mighty Kurtulmak taught them, no battle with gnomes is over so long as one kobold survives. Soon, the gnomes of Glimmersburg will once again face the wrath of Kurtulmak and the blood of Tiatmat.
.....
>And so, we begin with the position of our heroes. They are brave kobold warriors who fought in the Glimmersberg assault. Ranking high in their respective warbands, they've seen their share of work and battle following the three K's of Koboldism: Kruelty, Kowardice and Kunning. After strategically pushing their younger comrades into the meatgrinder, they set off a powerful Wyrm ditherbomb that collapsed the cavern of a battlefield while they hid in a storage cache where they stayed for days.
>Running low on resources, our heroes are set to emerge from their little fishbowl and make their own path. Perhaps they will seek revenge on the gnomes who destroyed their society. Perhaps they'll search the rubble for survivors. They might rebuild and repoulate the mines themselves, or leave the kaverns in search of better luck elsewhere. They might just cower in place until they run out of dead corpses and eat eachother. Perhaps they'll set off on their own adventure and the honest life of the average murderhobo. Only time can tell.

The /kkk/ runs on discord (for now) as a corner of the 'Official' /mlpol/ Horseplay Initiative. I started this adventure as a joke, but I've decided to use it to test methods and media for a multi-media Westmarches that I've been planning to create for this community. New members/players are always welcome:

This setting uses Action Points (Eberron style, not UA style), and any character who writes a log, session summary, in-character anecdote, artwork or other substantial contribution gets one free action point at the end of the session, so please write logs.

>Where we last left off, we had escaped with our lives from some faggoty elf's garden of horrors and returned to the tribe with riches from a slain thoqqua, Adooris almost dies of mossblight, and Kisara gets reset back to the start of level 4

>We start off the session with the sacrifice of a gnome prisoner from the skeleton closet, and while we don't attract the entire tribe to the spectacle we still get a lot of participants in the ritual
>From it, we get the effect of divine power for 1 day
>After that, we get Ukri, Yusdrayl, Akara, and a couple high-level mooks to follow us down the purple hole
>On the way, we raise some more skellies up to a total of 10 now
>We then climb down hole, and oddly enough there's more vines than before
>Ukri doesn't make it though, he gets blocked by a barrier and gets cursed as well
>Yusdrayl's bodyguards get cold feet too, so it's just us and her then
>And Akara and the skellies, but ok
>We try to shore up our defenses by enlisting Balsag's help again, but he's already left for greener pastures
>Without much more choice, we move towards the tree
>A skelly opens the door for us and is immediately assaulted by trees, but we kill them all
>We move forward again and find a new myconid
>It starts sporing us, and it wants to know why we're here but Adooris and Kisara are now tripping due to its mutated effects
>Turns out, this big deformed mushroom is shroombro!
>The poor boy needs to be put down, and in his delirium he attacks us
>Adooris, Kisara, Akara, and Yusdrayl are all too zonked to do anything, leaving Vyth to 1v1 our fallen friend
>The skellies take down shroombro who's left to scream 'sorry' as he goes unconscious, but we stabilize him in hopes that he gets better
>Everybody recovers, so it's time to move on
>The next room has the shrieker again, so Kisara and Yusdrayl both fireball the room, killing the shrieker and most of the other things in there
>Not all though, so we kill them all just before shit comes from behind us
>A bunch of big yellow bois break down the door, caltrops don't even slow them down
>These zombie orcs then kill all our skellies, but we kill them in return
>A bigass nasty plant shows up just after them too though, so we run from it while plinking at it and plant one of our 3 mines to dissuade it
>That works and the plant pisses off, so we're fine when we find that locked door again
>We open it and find a tea set and a trapped book inside the room
>We continue moving forward, and finally get back to tree room
>We try navigating the forest ourselves, but get attacked by a passing bone tree and 4/5 of us get poisoned
>3/4 of us then heal up, with Adooris sacrificing her share of the antidote for Akara and leaving her with a negative dexterity mod
>We run past that tree and get within visual range of the faggoty elf and his two humans
>We then start the fight, but our fireballs deal less damage than optimal due to one being counterspelled
>The human fighter charges us, but it turns out he's undead so he's immediately rebuked and killed
>While that's happening, the faggoty elf entangles us with druid powers
>Kisara's now useless...
>Some more stuff happens, and the elf goes full furry mode
>The entanglement ends though, and Kisara immediately hits the other human, a caster, for big numbers
>Adooris is also hit by a big spell, but she does some weird psionic shenanigans to avoid dying to it
>The furfag elf is finally knocked down by Yusdrayl, but is stabilized through his own vigor spell though
>Vyth tries to coup-de-grace him, Kisara annihilates the caster, Adooris makes sure she doesn't die, and Akara actually finishes off the furfaggot elf
>Fight won, nice!
>Unfortunately, there's fire everywhere now
>So now we're in a room full of fire, an evil tree, and a few corpses
>Time to kill the tree!
>Vyth and Kisara both blast it with fire and acid, but it doesn't do much
>Adooris does psionic stuff, and finds out that the tree's supposedly calmed down some
>We're forced to settle with leaving things there though, so we dig our way around into a new room
>Said room contains a shrine and a tray, and the session ends there!

Nice! We managed to take down the faggoty elf and hopefully defuse his tree of evil, and it was a fun fight! All that's left to do now is probably just getting rid of the plant-based hazards and maybe trying to find out how to heal shroombro so he can be our resident gardener, but that'll probably take time. See you guys tomorrow!

Alright, so it's been more than a few days since the session since I forgot to write this sooner, and my notes were all deleted since I wrote them here and then they got deleted for some reason (I blame the tab being unloaded for ram purposes), so this is going to be somewhat short and probably a little incorrect. Please bear with me!

>>164982
>Where we left off, we were in a new room after killing the elf and his minions

>We spend some time analyzing the room, and its walls depict a forest scene with kobolds and elves chilling while some sheep sit around nearby
>We look at the shrine and tray, and notice something's missing so we decide to check with the one guy who knows about this place left
>But first, we need to get rid of the bigass plant monster because that thing's going to make so many problems if we don't
>So we track it down and kill it in a surprise round (surprisingly enough), and then ice its offspring before they can become even bigger problems
>After that, we bring Shroombro back to the world of the waking and he tells us some more about this place, like how the elf wasn't the true priest and how the priest is more a mindset than anything else
>He also gives us some more limited information on stealy mcbignose, so that's cool
>We then take him down to that other room to see what the heck's going on there, and he gets turbopissed because that faggoty gnome apparently stole the tree's most prized possession
>So he also is responsible for pissing off the tree
>We offer to let shroombro help us kick his ass, but he respectfully declines
>He's still pissed, so we offer to do so extra hard for him
>We then opt to leave, and at some point during this Yusdrayl finds some magic geodes that we can use to repair our helmets!
>It'll take for fucking ever though, so we might as well just get our actual stuff back
>We make it out, upon which everybody swarms us like the heroes we are
>However, it turns out that there was time fuckery as we've been gone for well over a few hours
>A few days, actually
>And the tree's started growing into the main level, so we have to evac
>Ukri and Yusdrayl move the tribe into a nearby forest to get as far from this fuckery as possible, while we gear up to do some last minute recon on Oakherst before the raid where we get back our stuff and hopefully the maguffin that'll stop the tree from throwing its current hissyfit
>And that's where things stand for now!

A fun session, I enjoyed it and I look forward to a more stealth-oriented set of encounters in this upcoming one as we become the ultimate lifeform: Three Kobolds in a Trench Coat™!

Breaking news, local kobolds find mole corpse holding a lurking gnome near their campsite! The gnomish suspect was last seen red-hot and charging into the woods and remains at large, any knowledge as to this creep's whereabouts will be greatly appreciated.

>Where we last left off, we had just finished washing off our kobold smells as much as we could before our shower got interrupted by a bunch of fey (or one nosy anon if you choose to believe my picture)

>So we begin the session discussing how we'll go about scouting oakherst
>We decide our order of operations, get in our disguises (Kisara/Vyth/Adooris and Yusdrayl/Misc./Akara), and head into town to scout out a tavern first
>On our way over, an obviously drunk guy calls out to us and mistakes the being henceforth known as Kithoris for someone named Barney
>Kithoris respectfully corrects the man, and disengages from the conversation to join the being henceforth known as Yusara inside the tavern
>Adooris gets a bit mad that we didn't do any digging yet, given the NPC told us something about Barney losing his farm, but Kisara decided it would be better to waste as little time in the open where somebody could potentially reveal us to the relevant authorities
>We go inside the tavern, and some guard gives us the stinkeye over his full english but otherwise doesn't bother us thankfully
>Something that we noticed immediately though was a dorf and a halfling arguing with a gnome nearby
>The halfling is yelling at the dorf about some kind of breach of a moving contract, all the while the gnome is writing shit on a scroll
>The halfling does win the argument though, with the gnome and dorf leaving to come back tomorrow night for some reason
>The halfling then comes over to us, so we order some food and try to blend in for the moment
>The operative word being try, since Kithoris ordered a respectable half-stack of pancakes and some water for breakfast while Yusara ordered a full fucking cooked sheep and no drink...
>Kithoris then tries to open a conversation with the halfling lady and we learn that Oakherst is being ceded to Gnisrael with the humans being forced to move out for the most part
>We also learn some small pieces of information about the Silver Empire, being that they apparently have widespread use of actual silverware instead of wood or something
>The halfling lady then lets us go about eating our food, and those of us inside the trench coats sneak pieces of food and drink when and where they can
>I roll some dice and Kisara enjoys the pancakes, but doesn't enjoy the purified mineral water
>While we're eating though, some cloaked figure approaches us and tells us to meet it out back in kobold speak!
>As we go to leave though, Yusdrayl grabs some last-minute food off the table, including a pitcher of whipped cream
>We then go to meet the figure out back, and as it turns out it's Meepo!
>He looks way older and acts a bit different too despite only about a week of being gone for some reason...
>He seems pissed about getting ditched, but we explain the issue to him about the tree and needing to evacuate hurriedly and eventually things are forgiven
>Anyway, he's planted all the big bombs at the important locations to hit so we can blow them up with smaller bombs
>Another argument starts because it wasn't exactly clear that the explosives that were being used weren't going to tear apart the entire town, but we get past all the arguing after like 10 minutes and then have Meepo fill us in on things around town
>The big building that all the kobolds were being put into is gay baby jail, and there's a lot of big strong dudes in there locking it up tight
>Meepo planted bombs under the walls in preparation for a prison break during the raid
>It's about here that I get a sneaking suspicion that Meepo isn't Meepo
>There's no evidence though, as all of us get middling to bad sense motive rolls and when prompted to "ask Meepo something that only he would know," she proceeded to ask him about a running joke throughout her tribe that he was the focus of instead of an actual question
>sigh
>Anyway, we continue going around and gathering information and decide to head to the other big, well-protected building next
>On the way there, we find a lady preaching a bunch of Pelor shit to a crowd
>She's getting heckled by a guard for not sucking Sigmar's dick though, so that's rude
>Luckily for her, that guard gets dragged off by another guard for a lunch date between his ass and more than a few pineapples, so the lady continues doing her thing unhindered
>We then keep walking uninterrupted until we get to the building, and it turns out that it's a bank
>Meepo then tells us that it's apparently guarded by magic walls, and it's somewhat implied to be the reason Meepo's weird now, so we move on to the market next
>While we're there, we see a gnome selling some familiar-looking weasels
>As it turns out, they're dire weasels that might be stolen from the spawncampers during the raid that broke them, so we buy them back from the gnome and make a note to steal the rest of his shit after we kill the dealer during the raid
>We end up coming to a deal after some diplomacy and disguise checks, and bring the weasels and some supplies we negotiated for out of the town with Meepo's help
>Kithoris and Yusara then dissolve back into their constituent pieces and they all go to report to Ukri again
>We then spend the rest of the session working out some raid plans, and it's decided that we go for the prison break first before going off to try to lure out the gnomish bastard that has our crap still
>It's also brought up that he'll likely be there with more clerics of his god than just him, but with any luck the raid will have them all spread out so we can focus on killing them one at a time
>After that's settled, the session ends there!

A fun time, and I enjoyed becoming The Ultimate Lifeform™ with the rest of the party! It may just be because I was the one actually doing everything, but I found the RP to be fun and the stealth to be engaging despite not getting much XP from it (though getting to level 5 from drawing a picture of Kisara standing naked in a river likely helped alleviate my endless hunger for experience points). Anyway, the raid's next, see ya then!

>Where we last left off, we had just returned from our scouting mission in Oakherst, finding that it had been bought out by Gnisrael and reporting this information to Ukri

>We actually begin in a brief interlude between leaving town and getting back to camp, where we're ambushed by a party of gnomes!
>We quickly kill them all, letting not a single one flee back to warn the town of our presence in the forest
>The rest of the day goes as discussed though, with us reporting our findings and weasels to Ukri before going off to do our own respective things
>Kisara takes rest of the day off, Adooris writes a letter and attempts to talk to the Pelor lady (potentially jeopardizing the raid, I'm not sure), and Vyth goes with Akara/Yusdrayl to make a new shrine to Kurtulmak
>In the process, he breaks a geode and ends up pissing off an earth spirit fey thingy called an oread
>Apparently, this thing's basically a mountain dryad and they fucked with its pet rock or something by turning it into a statue of Kurtulmak
>We spend some time fucking with it, but it then initiates combat
>It charms Vyth, and in response we go to battlestations
>Kisara fires off a warning shot that does some minor damage, and we end up negotiating with it through Akara doing what he does best (being a bitch)
>It wants us to donate some mineral/metallic stuff to compensate for fucking with its rock though, so, unfortunately, we do...
>Kisara gives it a 100gp copper ring to fuck off, Adooris gives it some gold nuggets we got from the gnomes, Vyth offers a buttload of onyx gems (still charmed, by the way), and Ukri/Yusdrayl cough up some gems and copper ingots
>With the current situation resolved, it lets us ask one question each
>Adooris: "what item did the gnome take from the tree?"
>Oread: "A token of the earth imprinted with the lady's face and tail (a coin)"
>Kisara: "why the fuck are you here?"
>Oread: "banished to the forest for committing mountain crimes"
>Vyth: "wanna fuck?"
>Oread: "lmao no"
>Yusdrayl: "Where's the good mining spots for shinies?"
>Oread: "a list of places for later"
>Ukri: "Is the tribe safe here?"
>Oread: "Not my problem"
>Akara: "[sniveling dwarven]?"
>Oread: "[incomprehensible fey]"
>We then have a small IC argument where Kisara demands to know what Akara said and, when denied, starts throwing insults while Adooris attempts to stand up to her raw Facts and Logic™

All in all, a fun session and I enjoyed being able to screw around with the oread and also fighting some more gnomes! It sucks that there's no session this week as the GM needs to tackle some IRL stuff, but I don't mind it. Next week's the raid, and I hope to see you all there!

Nah, I don't ever retcon monster stats/equipment. Once initiative is rolled I stop editing the statblock.
Anyways, there was still an NPC that could speak Dwarven that was able to translate.

Ukri speaks Dwarven too, now that I think about it.

Meet the super-scary, absurd-damage, borderline-unfair miniboss I made, that died with one hit because he failed a saving throw at the beggining of the encounter.
