Oleville is Attacked by Hobgoblins

Military: Skirmish

On the second night of the Harvest close festival, Oleville was unexpectedly attacked by an organized battalion of Hobgoblins. Their defenses were quickly overwhelmed, but the Sausage Party intervened and changed the tide of battle, preventing further destruction of the city.   During the conflict, the party met up with Varzim Yarjerit, a dragonborn paladin of Bahamut who briefly accompanied the party on their travels.

The attacking force consisted of a powerful hobgoblin war mage riding a manticore, two Ogres equipped with siege weapons, and various hobgoblin foot soldiers.   The hobgoblin war mage instantly obliterated the ranks of the Varconian defensive phalanx by raining down long range fireballs from its airborne manticore mount. This devestating opponent was impressively defeated by Valorus Ogrulson. After being empowered with a Fly and Haste spell, he grappled the manticore in mid-air, pinning its wings and causing it to plummet out of the sky.
