Viplom & Pewuh were part of a hunting party that got decimated when they came across multiple wild boar. They woke to find themselves alone and weaponless, and have been attempting to find their way back to their village for some time. They're getting hungry. They have spotted a couple of rats!
Pewuh hides behind Viplom.
Viplom hides behind Pewuh!
Pewuh takes the initiative and attacks, realizing that these are squirrels.
Squirrels flee!
Viplom has run up to a squirrel only to have it turn, fluff up it's tail and Intimidate him. He manages to convince himself to try grappling it.
Pewuh manages to smash it's skull while Viplom holds it still. The other squirrel has run away.
Viplom attempts to swallow the dead squirrel whole. Due to a poor choice of CR, he is successful!
Pewuh is very upset with Viplom for eating his squirrel.

After travelling a little longer, they stumble across a huge golem of some kind. Pewuh is scooped up by it. Viplom flees but is caught by another almost immediately.
They are carried (along with some dead animals) back to an enormous army, snaking its way through the countryside, and dumped into a cage being pulled by a War-elephant.
Eventually they are released from the cage, shackled and introduced to Uvoo, a Hobgoblin who tells them that they are now conscripted into the great army of the Dark Prince, then put into a tent under guard with a lot of other goblins who have clearly been conscripted in similar circumstances.

The next morning the goblins are allowed to pick a weapon and made to fight in teams (they are in Team 3).
Viplom waits until half way through the fight between Teams 1 & 2 and demands to be allowed to join in. He picks off the remainder almost unscathed and collects some extra javelins. He shows no mercy, killing his fellow conscripts and earning himself his first achievement: Peer Review.
Team 3 & 4 enter, including Pewuh who joins forces with Viplom and together they handily survive. Once again their fellow conscripts are killed, earning Pewuh the Peer Review achievement also.

They are marched over to a churgeon who patches them up and then to a quartermaster where they are allowed to choose one weapon to keep. They both pick morningstars and Pewuh steals a dagger in addition, starting him down the path to the Sticky Fingers achievement.
They are then chained to the back of a wagon with their fellows and marched the rest of the day. At night they attempt to weaken the tent ropes when they are setting it up but the tent remains until morning.
