Session Overview

In-game Date: 15 Falkhyn 1197md, Morning

• Over breakfast, the heroes are met by a dwarf, Garax. They remember meeting him as part of the caravan from Ascalon to Malforten.
• There was a bit of distrust but the heroes realise that there would give protection of numbers.
• There is little more for them to do as Gwion wasn't due to meet with the goblins until the following day.

In-game Date: 16 Falkhyn 1197md, Morning

• The party meet over breakfast before finding Gwion.
• Gwion explains what he normally does when meeting with the Goblin.
  • He does his morning tasks, feeding his animals and chickens, and tending his fields.
  • He takes his lunch at the Empty Flagon.
  • He then goes fishing.
  • He follows the track from the town to the river edge and crosses over.
  • He fishes there for a bit before making his way north.
  • By mid-afternoon, he arrives at a dead tree on the river bank.
  • The Goblin meets him there and he gives the details that he's gathered for them.
  • Following that, he returns home retracing his steps, taking time to catch some fish for dinner.
• Gwion makes himself scarce as he has work to do.
• The five heroes find somewhere to sit down and plan out how they can spy on the Goblin without being seen and heard.
  • Magpie flies off to the river to carry out some reconnaissance.
  • When he returns, he quickly scratches out a rough map of the location in the dirt.
  • With Magpie being so small, he would hide in the branches of the dead tree.
  • There are three large bramble bushes, he said that they may hide the remainder of the party.
    • They decided that Davian and Elowen would be hiding in the northernmost bush, Glint in the next bush and being close to the escarpment, whilst Garax would hide in the southernmost bush.
    • Rather than wasting time, the heroes checked their packs and weapons before following Magpie to the dead tree.

• They make their hidey holes as planned.
• Noon arrives and passed, they kept watch as they ate cold rations.
• As the sun was slowly lowering itself to the horizon, Garax watches Gwion arriving; seemingly without a care.
• He rests himself against the tree.
• After a quarter mark, everyone can hear movement and the noises of footsteps, the creaking of armour and weapons.
• Before long, a single goblin makes its way down the escarpment.
• Gwion greets him then lets him know what news he had:
  • The caravan from Ascalon had come and gone, leaving the latest supplies and messages.
  • There were apparently a group of adventurers in town who are looking to cash in on the bounty.
  • The goblin sniggers at that.
• Glint listens and becomes aware that there may be more people on top of the escarpment. He risks a quick look and sees that there are six more goblins, three with swords and three with small bows.
• Magpie tries to even the odds by using Elemental Manipulation to bring a mist onto the escarpment.
• Unfortunately he is spotted and the alarm is raised.
  • Gwion throws himself into the river and starts swimming back to town.
  • The three goblins with swords join their friend, scrabbling off the escarpment.
  • Elowen uses Protection on all party members except for Glint.
  • Davian uses his short-bow, standing up from the bush. The first of the goblins takes an arrow through the neck.
  • Magpie casts a Bolt which fries one of the Goblin archers.
  • Glint attacked a goblins in, eviscerating them.
  • The goblins made their counterattacks but were dismayed and in shock, the attacks ineffectual.
  • Magpie casts a Bubble on Garax to make it harder for the goblins on the escarpment to target him.
  • Garax strode into melee, and smote one of the goblins from gizzard to lizzard.
  • Davian loosed an arrow at one of the archers but it is unable to penetrate its armour.
  • Glint runs in to attack the last goblin with a double-strike, cleaving it in twain.
  • Magpie, seeing the remaining archers, he sacrificed some of his essence in a prayer to Wenafar.
    • His prayer is clearly heard as a Burst of Lightning struck the archers, destroying their heads.
    • The remainder of the party can see a silver lily on his forehead.
• They search the bodies.
