D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

I'm okay with going after the kobolds, just be careful.

It seemed like Yumi wasn't the only one chasing after the lady knight. As she was casually watching, Yumi noticed an odd looking dwarf following the warrior's trail. Her face was marked with pox scars, something Yumi knew well. Many of her girls had the pox which forced them into a miserable life due to their own families shunning them. And Yumi, ever the opportunist, made sure to pick them up, clean them off, and make something of their lives. And this chance wasn't going to pass her by!

It didn't take long for Yumi to figure out where the dwarven lass was going so she made sure to get ahead of her in time so they would cross paths. Thinking of a line to say Yumi stepped around the corner to confront the dwarven lady. "Hello there. Chasing that lady knight as well?" Yumi extended a hand out to the woman to shake. It was a custom in these lands, or at least Yumi has seen various traders and menfolk do this. Personally she didn't like that level of physical contact but she knew if she extended her hand to this woman, it would show that Yumi didn't fear her pox. "That makes two of us. My name is Yumi, a traveler and trader, and I have business with that woman. Who are you, and if I may ask, what is it that you desire most?"

Yumi and her crew made a tidy profit selling left over gear and providing their services to the towns people. While they weren't artisans or craftsmen per say, they provided crucial services to the working men and women in town. However it was about time to move on; war has come and there were going to be armies that needed feeding, services, and weapons. Yumi had traded the loot from last week for various supplies that would be useful for the various lords and towns folk, such as medicine, charcoal, and fish oil. She already knew a few towns where she could sell these things for a large profit, and surely there'll be plenty of opportunities to make more money on the side.

And more money is exactly what Yumi needed right now. While she had the supplies and she had her women to run the caravans, she needed horses. She only had enough horses to pull five carts while she needed seven if she didn't want to force a few horses to haul two wagons, slowing down their overall mobility. And time was money; a day wasted during travel is a day she'll miss her chance to sell her wares. She needed money quick but didn't have anything to sell that wasn't already part of her inventory. So Yumi went to the merchant's guild to see if there was any quick jobs she could handle that'll give her enough money to buy the horses she needed. That's when Yumi noticed another woman at the bounty board.

Yumi had given it a look before but the only bounty worth the job was one investigating some monster sighting. Yumi had no time to waste on chasing rumors of drunkards or superstitious people. But strangely enough this woman took that bounty and left, presumably to find other adventurers. Yumi wondered if this was a worthy gamble; if they split the money evenly between herself and maybe five people, Yumi would have enough money for some extra horses and be able to leave by tomorrow. However if it took longer than that, then Yumi would've wasted her time and be behind on her sales. "Hmm... It's risky... But worth a try." Yumi didn't know the woman however but she seemed strong. So she watched the woman from afar to see how she handles herself. If Yumi liked what she sees, maybe she'll approach, or maybe she'll just get a few of her own girls and go monster hunting herself.

That's fine with me, I'll edit my post accordingly.

Yukari Yozakura

Yukari happily joined Mia where she had patted the seat. It was a bit awkward fitting in between her and Mina, but only because Yukari didn't know Mina too well. She was smart but didn't seem the type to talk to anyone in class. Whenever Yukari notices her is either during class or at the training room. Finishing off the crab ragoons Yukari got herself settled in as Mia wanted to gossip. "Eeeeh? Boys? Bleh." She pouted as she was reminded of boys and that spat that happened earlier today. Just about every guy there seemed like an idiot to her, but Yukari knew she was just being harsh because it was still fresh on her mind. "I don't know, no one really seems my type. They're... Brave enough, but they need to check their ego. I don't want to hook up with some muscle head who can't handle a lady, you know?" She didn't want to call anyone out though so Yukari tried to change the subject a bit.

"Really what I'd like from a guy is someone who's considerate but not condescending. Like, personally, they help me with things but doesn't have that 'I have to protect all the girls' attitude. That's just lame. At the same time I wish some boys would be a bit more empathetic. Being all stoic and broody is just so old school it's like, backwards." Turning her head in Mina's direction, Yukari tried to engage in a bit of conversation with her. "Of course if you had to choose a guy as a partner, who'll you look for Kasuke-san? I doubt you'll settle for just any guy who treats you nice. Nice guys is baseline, they need to have a bit more to them than that."

Parum knew that her decision wasn't something the others would like. Between Brannor's gruff attitude, Kyra's thirst for vengeance, Orchid's savage nature, and Torus's literal bestial side, not killing these creatures when they had the chance wasn't something they might easily agree on. Parum would count her blessings that they did though. Seeing Torus move from some sort of gate Parum went down there to investigate. She had no idea if this door had any lock mechanisms or if it just opened or closed, but she would try to find a way to jam it nonetheless. There was a keyhole so Parum jammed the keyhole with soap from her bag and covered it with wax; it wasn't fool proof but at least if anyone tried to get this door open they'll need to either spend precious seconds melting the wax or scraping the contents out.

Once her preparations were done there she met up with the others. She didn't know how long it'd take before more enemies would arrive but she did have a plan, a new spell she had unlocked. She turned to everyone in the group and offered an idea. "I can cast an invisibility spell on one of us to go check and see whats in the other room. But it should be one of us who are naturally stealthy, as well as good at keeping an eye out for traps. I'm... Not very good at that, honestly, so maybe either Kyra or Torus?"

I would rather that the noise from the drakes bring kobolds to investigate instead of us running into the next room where they’re bunkered down or have already laid their traps. Right now the kobolds don’t have any particular reason to expect that there are intruders; for all they know the drakes could be making a ruckus just because a kobold were annoying them or they’re hungry. If we focus solely on killing the drakes that would leave us open to whoever comes to investigates, sees that invaders have made it inside, then turn around and warn the whole cave.

The drakes are a distraction but we shouldn’t let them distract us. They aren’t going anywhere in their cages so they’re not a threat, we can kill them after we make sure anything that could let them free is also dead.

The Silk Road dropped anchor in the port of Tamberle. It certainly looked like it had been under attack; there were still the ruins of scuttled ships in the bay. However Yumi was never one to let a tragedy go to waste. "Okay girls, let's get to work. The first team will hit up the taverns and inns and find out more about what happened here. Team two should go help others an see if we can strike any deals. Desperate people can make for dangerous customers, so once we have them on our side doing business will be much easier! Third team I want you to move bodies and pick what you can. Look for combatants, and try not to loot any homes. We'll gather back here at around night and see what we have to work with. Dismissed!" Yumi's girls, exotic looking foreigners in these lands, left to do their jobs. Yumi herself also had a job; she was going to stop by the merchant guild to pay her dues and gather information herself. Something must've happened since last time she was in Tamberle and she didn't want to miss out on any opportunities!

Parum gulped as her party slew the kobolds with relative ease. She supposed this shouldn't be a surprise, they were just kobolds after all, but she couldn't help but worry more about what these kobolds could have hidden. They had gotten lucky finding that one trap at the mushroom garden, but Kyra and Torus ended up falling for that poison spike trap. Even if kobolds were weak they were wily and Parum wouldn't underestimate them for a second. Which is why she moaned when she saw Kyra and Brannor chase after the kobold who leap off the cliff. They at least didn't jump down, but she worried what might happen if Orchid or Torus does since they were bestial right now. "Stop, don't follow him down there! It could be a trap!"

Catching up to the others she could vaguely make out the same beasts from Greenest, which unfortunately Brannor shot at. She hoped they wouldn't make too much noise and alert the whole cave that they're here; the last thing she wants to do is a last stand in this dank dark place. "Stop shooting those things! Just kill the kobold so it can't release them, those beasts are locked in their cages anyways!" At least Parum hoped they were. Spotting the kobold she had struck with her spell previously, she made a shrill note on her viol and she threaten it. "At least this saves us time disposing the body. You're worm bait!"
