Vagueland Fiasco

The Vagueland Fiasco is an important event that occured in the Band of Hatchmates storyline. It starts with the party traveling to Vagueland with Jebus Gunn. The goal was to try to steal a piece of the dragon armor from one of his former employers. They split into two groups, Jebus went to Roscoe the Wisp's manor and the kobolds went shopping for disguises. In the merchant district they came across a store named Magic Mel's Midnight Emporium. Inside they found a myriad of enchanted trinkets. The gnome shopkeeper was very helpful, until he caught Sneak-Lock trying to steal a pair of boots. Things escalated quickly.

Sneak-Lock escapes and runs away. The gnome paralyzes the newest member Harkaj, and Gix tries to intervene. Instead they both get caught and town guards swarm the building. Harkaj kills four of them, Gix takes out the shopkeeper, and Zazus continuously heals the group. Finally, the local guard captain, Brander the Fearless, is able to kill Harkaj. Zazus also fights to the death while Gix hides in a backroom. The next morning he is able to leave the store in disguise. While all of this takes place Sneak-Lock is apprehended and executed for being a kobold.

Jebus and Gix leave town empty handed and return to the All-Knower where they part ways. Gix goes on hiatus for two years before deciding to pick up the quest for the Dragon Armor again.
