Meanwhile...
Almost a week ago, The Herald had the great misfortune to be on a regular outrider patrol when it was ambushed by lizardmen. Since then, he and the other captured outriders have been kept captive in miserable, dark, wet, muddy pits below the lizardman kitchen. Each day one or two of his fellows have been pulled up from the pits to be eaten. It has been a harrowing experience and he has developed a keen hatred of the lizard types.
By his rudimentary understanding of the kobold tongue, The Herald has learned from the chatter of the reptile underlings that the supreme leader of this tribe (revered in an almost god-like fashion) is a figure known as "Mother". She always seems to be hungry, and has no doubt eaten half of the captured outriders herself.
Right now, The Herald is alone in his muddy pit (though there are other pits nearby). His prayers must have been answered, for all of a sudden he hears a great commotion and the sounds of fighting...
The Herald has none of his gear, and is cold, muddy and half-starved in a 10ft deep mud pit. It is open, but impossible to clamber out due to the slick, muddy walls.
Your adventure begins now!
