The Goblin Hulk (Catching Up with the Silver Elites)

It's been awhile . . . sorry.

After the Battle of Dalton's Camp, the heroes returned to Edmund Keep to reconnoiter and make next plans.

A visitor from Silver's Bay had come with information relating to the recent assassination attempt against Prince Jorum. He offered to lead the heroes to Silver's Bay and to help find the responsible party(ies). (Side note: a friend of mine was in town for the weekend. He played a one-shot half orc rogue that was the PCs' contact).

The heroes make their way to Silver's Bay and meet a drow merchant lady by the name of Kallistra who gives the information to help find the Goblin Hulk. Jaks, their guide, claims those responsible for the assassination attempt are on the Hulk.

On the Goblin Hulk the heroes learn that Jaks has an ulterior motive. He owes a debt to one of the crime bosses on the ship and needs their help to rescue his lady friend and get the hell out of there. He agrees to give over the information after they help him.

In the prison deck on the Hulk they fight some spore zombies and find and rescue Jaks's girl. Jaks and the girl make their escape and tell the heroes that kobolds living on the ship hired the dopplegangers to kill Prince Edmund.

The heroes head for the kobold deck to "talk it out." They meet the kobold leader. Conversation is not high on anyone's agenda so they duke it out. When bloodied the kobold tranforms into a full grown green dragon. Eventually the heroes win the day and later beat a hasty retreat off of the Goblin Hulk. It seems some goblin crime boss is pissed at them about something to do with a half orc named Jacks.
