Vaelwyn Noble's Cache

After disrupting the ambush set for the noble's carriage, the party picks through a small private cache hidden in a false chest under the carriage's seating. Two desperate cultists and a pack of kobolds were using the noble's trappings to mask their operation while an ambush drake stood watch. The raid yielded pieces of the household's private wealth and evidence of illicit payments. Among coins and tableware are personal items that identify the family and documents that promise leverage if the party chooses to use them. The drake's tooth and the cultist ledger point to darker dealings behind the attack, while the potion of healing and the signet ring are immediate practical gains for a level 1 group. The haul is enough to fund supplies and buy discretion, and it offers leads should the party pursue the cult or play the noble families against one another.
