Dolor 13, 1181 EC

We picked up as the Protectors of People were marching back toward Turos Tem through the Viaspen Forest. About halfway back, Jack warned the party of figures hiding in the trees.

A small bearded man, about 3 feet tall stepped out and jabbered something incomprehensible, before asking their business in halting Auran. The party soon found that they had wandered near the home of Harry Half-foot, a gnomish chieftain of some sort, and they were surrounded by 25 of the little woodsmen. 

Thankfully for the party, the gnomes weren't particularly hostile. They demanded a promise to respect the gnomish domain and not cause trouble, then let the party go. And just like that, there's a gnomish domain in the Viaspen, unknown to the surrounding Empire. You gotta love random encounters.

The rest of the trip home was uneventful, and the party rested for 3 days to get Fight Wizard back to full strength.

Once everyone was rested, they returned to the dungeon. This time, no one was on guard outside. The kids were instantly (correctly) suspicious, and gave Jack 10 minutes to methodically search. Unfortunately, he missed the trap, and Emily walked right into it. She pushed open the bronze door and a jar of military oil fell. Fortunately for her, I rolled a 2 for the damage.

Having passed the kobold trap, the party charged into the kobold quarter again, and were surrounded just like before. Once again, the armored fighters proved impervious to the kobold spears, but Fight Wizard stepped into the fray and was wounded. After six kobolds were slain, the dog-men pulled back again, and the party stepped forward, finding themselves in the hall of the kobold chieftain and his guard.

Here we had to stop, so the parley and likely resulting violence will have to wait for session 5.
