The session began in the cold rain at the dilapidated Temple of Erastil<\/strong>, just after you defeated the undead grizzly bear, a “Cursed Guardian”. Despite the technical difficulties that plagued you at the beginning, you continued your investigation of the mysterious place. Your hunt for the purple kobold and his temple continued. On the way, you heard the sound of work and discovered a cave \u2013 a gold mine. Inside, you found several kobolds mining gold ore under the orders of a foreman. When After securing the mine and taking a much-needed rest, you continued toward the place where Oleg<\/strong> had said there would be radishes.

With the intoxicated kobolds chased away, you have finally secured baskets full of the coveted radishes for Oleg<\/strong>. you have also discovered a gold mine used by the enemy and gotten a
