Expedition to the mines
On the way to the mines they party ran into a halfling cartogropher whom Fogel enthusiasticly talked to. While they were distracted Slink decided to rummage through the halflings bag looking for food but was promtply called out by the dwarf Huldar and chased away by the halfling.

While on the road they encountered Rairaku the oni and his Ogre goons. Deciding they didn't want to fight the party ran away, all except Rhe’blaeyd’kii’lleek whose edgy principles forbade him from running away.

Slink assisted in clearing the mines of insects even landing the killing blow on a umberhulk thus granting him the title: Slayer of Insect

Attack on camp Rairaku
The Party deciding on an assult on camp Thorne which had been taken by Rairaku. They brought with them a Warforged titan which Slink piloted and very much enjoyed. Bolts raining and spells flying they party fought their way through to the camp. Slink slaying many ogres and giants in his giant battle mech. Eventually however the ogres and giant incapacitated the titan and Slink slinked out of the situation and managed to use his eye of the umber hulk to confuse the fomorian.

Skrimishing and fighting in the darkness, Slink kept pelting the enemies with arrows. The situation started to look bad for everyone as Rairaku himself showed up and was very keen on dropping Vyodros to his doom. Seeing him drop to his death the arrrogant Oni did not notice as Slink's arrow pierced his neck and he fell to the ground unconcious.

Slink finished off the demon with a coup the grace and promptly ran away from the pursuing ogres. Eventually the party managed to kill the rest and were awarded many riches and much glory thus granting Slink the titles:

Slayer of Giants and Slayer of Blue man

Expedition to the Warforged factory
With Vyodros leading the way they party made their way towards the strange metal structure in the mountains. Being attacked by a young green dragon on the plains, Slink quickly panicked and drank his potion of invisibility as dragons are considered gods to kobolds. After a rather quick fight, Vyodros slayed the dragon and Slink was awed by the god slayers power.

Being asked to lead the way up the mountain Slink reluctantly agreed as he prefers being in the back where he's not in the forefront of danger.

Meeting Otto the artificer at the building which turned out to be some sort of institute or guild from eberron, he spoke a language no one understood but thanks to Vyodros's shrewd magic he was able to communicate with Otto. Otto at first reluctant asked the party to help him deal with a rogue Warforged titan that had occupied a large part of the factory. The party agreed and after a decently long fight were Slink fruitlessly tried to use the fomorian eyes on the titan, managed to win after pulling out the crystal that was powering all the warforged in the room.

Altough they were soon told to hide as Viakane one of the four servants along with Rairaku and Malusvi appeared and demanded that Otto would fix the titan for him. When he wasnt satisfied with Otto's answear that he wouldn't be able to in time he was thrown of the cliff. The party and Slink made it back with many spoils which he invested into getting a permanent residence inside fort Eskarya. He made a home close the Midnight's edge guild hall. Staying true to his Kobold ways he dug a cave inside the building he was given. Alton offered an invitation for Slink to join midnight's edge being impressed by the little Kobold, at first reluctant he was quickly persuaded when Alton bribed him with a cloak of elvenkind. Quickly finding his place in the guild Slink invited other Kobold's to join his new tribe which he would name the ShadowSlink tribe.

Vester keep #1
Trying to find out what Rairaku was looking for at Vester keep the party ventured forth and by some curse ran into Viakane. Alton not wanting them to get to fort Krodeyn shot at Viakane and started a fight that the party very nearly lost. Slink did his damnest to keep his chieftain Alton alive and even somewhat uncharacteristicly stepping in front of his allies to protect them. Vyodros saves the day once again by casting banishment on Viakane, allowing the rest of the party to take care of the rest of the orcs.

With Viakane finally reappering a fierce fight ensued where Alton was very nearly killed multiple times much to the dismay of Slink. With his newfound spout of bravery he stepped up to face Viakane but was promptly knocked unconcious. It was Jamaal that would land the finishing blow as Viakane turned into dust and disappeared. Alton complimented Slink on his actions, calling him a hero.

The party deciding to head back and to some exploring after that ordeal found some hobgoblins at a shrine which they killed. Later they stumbled upon a watchtower with a farm, Slink tried to raid the farm but was stopped by Vyodros. A friendly hobgoblin lived in the tower and the party soon found out that the hobgoblins they had killed were peaceful. Deciding in a not so heroic manner to cover their tracks by setting up the scene so that it looked like the orcs had killed the Hobgoblins family.

Vester keep #2 Slink's swan song
Slink's second expedition to Vester keep. This time no trouble was found on the way but when they got to the fort party found it inhabited by a small army of orcs and ogres. Slink, Lost flame and perven climbed up one of the towers and triggered an ambush on the unsuspecting orcs. Nearly being overwhelmed in the tower, Slink did his best to bravely assist Lost flame again somewhat uncharacteristicly stepping into danger. The party eventually triumphed and they made their way into the cellar of the keep. Finding spiders and blood they met Melusvi a Rakshasa who tried to enlist Vyodros's help to get rid of a portal. Vyodros being reluctant, Melusvi got impatient and tried his damnest to magically influence Vyodros but failing against the bearded mans mental fortitude.

Melusvi offered to show the party great treasure and led the way through a tunnel of Ghast's which he dispatched with ease. Leading the party to a room with treasure,Melusvi tried to entice Slink to come with him into the room but Slink refused, not being able to understand him and fearing him knowing that he is one of the four servants. Perven finding a magical spring found himself attacked by a water elemental, hearing the ruckus Slink found an excuse to get away from the tiger man. Being rather confused on how to stab water, Slink decided to try and distract it instead but was engulfed and swallowed by the elemental. Alton's gunshot's woke up a beholder in the treasure room however and soon the party was on the run. Vyodros managed to banish the beholder however and Slink ran back with his comrades to loot the beholder's hoard. Melusvi again being an impatient kitten hurried us along, we made it back to the portal room where Vyodros made it clear that we wouldn't help him dispel the portal. Enraged the cat man attacked the party by dominatibg lost flame. His arrogance and nonchalance this time being his undoing as Slink stabbed him through the chest with his newfound magic rapier.

Thinking the coast was clear the party opened the door and found themselves starting into the many eyes of an angry beholder. Chaos ensued as Vyodros and Alton were petrified and lost flame was put to sleep. Slink threw everything he had at the beholder. Refusing to back down, Slink's bravery finally caught up to him as he was paralyzed and disintegrated by the beholder. Leaving behind only dust and his tribe in the hands of Midnight's edge.
