Session Thirteen - That's a wrap

     Our heroes awoke at the fey clearing and returned to the stone building from which they assualted. earlier that day.  When they reached the castle they saw two hobgoblins with longbows standing in the windows of the from of the building keeping an eye out for intruders as well as the body of Voskas hanging from the the walls over the door.  The party then decided to assault the castle head on with Bl'nx using his tower shield to protect himelf, Kylar and Saloch who were following behind him.  Kyler also aided in defence by placing his shield above Bl'nx's.  As soon as they broke the treeline they were spotted by the hobgoblins.  Almost immediatly the goblins began firing upon them but not to any great success.  Kyler was hit once by one of the goblins but Saloch returned fire pelting the hobgoblin several times with his arrows.  As soon as they reached the doors Kyler began pounding on them until finally he and Bl'nx working together broke them open.  Inside there were three other hobgoblins waiting for them and a fight ensued.  The hobgoblin's were no match for armour and teamwork of the party and all but one were killed.  One of the hobgoblins managed to escape into the forest.  All this was observed by a mysterious stranger in the forest.    
     After the party cut Voskas's body down the stranger approached them and introduced himself as Zanben Urthadar but told the party they could refer to him by his nickname; Ben.   The party then continued in through the hallways and discovered the sleeping quarters of the lair though all parties were awake and the room was empty.  They continued further to discover the forge of the building and a bag of gold lying on the floor.  The party was immediatly suspicious and upon looking around noticed a number of humanoid bird creatures (See picture above) crouched in the rafters.  The party deduced this to be an ambush and sent Kyler in first.  As soon as his approached the room Kyler was hit by a tanglefoot bag and anchored to the floor as alchemists fire rained down upon him.  Bl'nx used his gnomish ability of dancing lights to illuminate the area and the bird-like creatures.  Eventually the creatures, which Saloch identified as kenkus, lept from the rafters into combat with the party.  The group battled hard and Saloch summoned two wolves to join the brawl.  Towards the end the final Kenku attempted to flee by casting a darkness spell but was attacked and killed by the party before it could exit the room.
