A New You, Tuesday, Period Two
Today, students, you would enter the danger shop to find yourself and your merry band of fellows sitting on the outskirts of that same seaside community, near a particularly large but depressingly sparse-looking farmer's field.
"Congratulations," Fjord said jovially once it looked as though everybody had arrived. "Warden cut you a deal... you all get to clear your name together, innocent or otherwise, if you do the town this one particular favor. You see, apparently, there have been some kobolds stirring up hell on the outskirts of town. They tend to show up around the same time every night, digging up farms, ruining crops. Now... we can't have that. Yes, this town does also have a fairly active fishing industry and the hunting on the outskirts isn't half bad. The locals aren't necessarily going to go hungry, but winters are long this far north, and people need the grains and other such things in their diet, and a good deal of the town's economy comes from trading their harvest."
He didn't figure most of the class necessarily cared. He was still going to share what the Warden had said. Important backstory, and all.
"So, to clear your names, you'll need to find out what the kobolds want and deal with it, or just kill the little fuckers and get it over with. Up to you. Warden doesn't care how the job gets done, just so long as this gets put to a stop." He lifted his chin and smiled pleasantly at his little adventuring party. "So... what do you do?"

Re: Adventure - Kobolds!
Keyleth rolled a 5 on an insight check, soYelden had no idea what to make of Shovels's reaction."Whoa, whoa, whoa!" She waved her off hand at them, in a gesture that would have been meant to be a calming one except for, you know, the flaming torch she was holding. "Can we just, maybe, I don't know, talk this out first before you wreck any more of this nice farmer's crops, reach some kind of understanding? Please?"
Re: Adventure - Kobolds!
The other six kobolds, the ones with swords, all snarled in unison and raised their assorted weapons in warning. Either they really had no interest in reaching an understanding, or they didn't understand common and didn't like the look of that torch, there. One of those!
Re: Adventure - Kobolds!
Keyleth didn’t mean to make Yelden wave the torch around more. She just got a little bit flustered and started flailing, that was all. That probably didn’t help.
LOOK, SHE TRIED, OKAY.
Re: Adventure - Kobolds!
The other kobolds, on the other hand, were yelling back at her - in Draconic - something that at least the Dragonborn in the party would likely recognize as, "This is your last warning!" They were looking pretty ready to just hunker down and pounce at any moment.
