In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagon load of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Haliwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business."

You've spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail.

Someone needs to drive the wagon, no animal handling skill required. Also please give me a marching order. Info: The cart is moving at a slow pace.

[Lowmoan]

Hader, 12/12

Hader has Inspiring Leader, so once per short rest he can give you all 3 temporary hit points. So, consider yourselves inspired!

Walking beside the wagon, Hader breathed deeply of the fresh air, took a large bite from his hunk of cheese, and smiled. Since coming to Neverwinter, he had been engaged in study with the clerics of Lathander for longer than he'd planned. They had had many questions about his manifestation of divine abilities, and he had been no less determined to get answers. Nevertheless, it was fine to be out in the open again, feeling the sun beat down on him, and the breeze whistle past, bringing a whiff of horse now and then which was not unpleasant.

"I think this is likely to be a safe journey," he called suddenly. "It's far too lovely a day to contemplate wicked deeds. If there are bandits about, I feel they must stay home and collect bouquets of flowers for their sweethearts! It would certainly be the wise choice. I don't know about you all, but this crisp air is making me feel as though I had the strength of ten men."

Hader had had little time to get to know his new compatriots, but they seemed decent folk. He sensed pain and loss from most of them, and much anger from at least one, but those feelings were only the symptoms of a loving heart that's been wounded. So Hader believed. He longed to connect with the decency in other folk, which, he had to admit, led him to speak during time that should otherwise pass in comfortable silence.

Kalaham (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=47117) 12/12

Kalaham peers out into the Triboar Trail. The clear difference between High road and here puts him a bit on edge.



"I think this is likely to be a safe journey," he called suddenly. "It's far too lovely a day to contemplate wicked deeds. If there are bandits about, I feel they must stay home and collect bouquets of flowers for their sweethearts! It would certainly be the wise choice. I don't know about you all, but this crisp air is making me feel as though I had the strength of ten men."

Kalaham glances at Hader. "Hader, while I admire your positive outlook on life I would not let my guard down. Bandits care nothing of flowers and smiles. Only your blood on their blade and your gold in their pockets." Kalahams teeth clunch at the thought of it. "And lets not get started on the creatures that wander this land. When I was out with my platoon once we got a little cocky and relaxed on a day just like this." Kalaham looks off into the distance, thinking back to his days during his time serving. "We were on a supply run, should have been routine. We were only looking out for bandits and the like at the time. Didn't even see the Kobald troupe sneaking up on us. Before we could make a move two in my group had a javelin coming out of their chest." Kalaham narrows his eyes. "Needless to say, that beautiful day turned red quick. A necessary lesson for travel it seems." He then curses under his breath in dwarven. "Damn Kobalds."

Kalaham tightens the reigns of the cart and looks to see if anything lies in wait. He warns the others "You can never be too careful"

"Bandits and kobolds, ha! I would be glad if we had a much rarer and challenging creature engaging us, to be honest. Isn't that why we're all here, fellas? To find trouble?"
Ric couldn't seem to drop his interest on the other cart. He approached the elf, "Hey there, partner. Might I ask why a merchant such as yerself would be helping the competition... Do you and Douven have a franchise going on, or...?"

"Strength in numbers, friend... Let's just say I'm currently out of business and Douven is helping me get back on my feet."
Valken drives his own cart along silently, slightly behind Douven's cart.

[Fighting_Ferret]

About an hour after mid-day, as your group comes around a bend in the trail, you spy two dead horses sprawled in the middle of the trail. The corpses are blocking the path roughtly fifty feet in front of your current location . Each has several black-feathered arrow sticking out of it. The woods press close to the trail here, with a steep embankment and dense thickets on either side.

[Lowmoan]

Hader (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=48670) - 15/12

Hader frowns at the sight of the dead horses and turns to Kalaham.

"A red day indeed. Do you think this could be a trap? I intend to search for survivors either way, but if I'm to suffer an ambush I'd prefer doing so knowingly."

[Relkin]

Kalaham (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=47117) - 15/12

Kalaham slows the cart down to a halt upon seeing the two dead horses in the road. He peers out ahead to the dead horses blocking the path.

Hader stops and turns to Kalaham "A red day indeed. Do you think this could be a trap? I intend to search for survivors either way, but if I'm to suffer an ambush I'd prefer doing so knowingly."
Without taking his gaze off the horses and his surroundings he addresses Hader and the party. "It's hard to think this was an accident." Kalaham looks to the steep embankment on either side of the trail. "This isn't good... Everyone ready yourselves." He then pulls his sword from his sheath and ready's his shield. Kalaham looks out to his surroundings trying to discern if anything lies in weight. "It would be wise to take heed of our surroundings before continuing forward. "

Hader follows Ric closely, his hand on the handle of one of the javelins protruding from his pack.

Perception: [roll0]


Kalaham will advance with Hader and Ricroar, but he preceeds cautiously, peering into the woods and listening intently as he moves to the dead horses.

The three make their way to the dead horses, where the instantly identify the horses as beonging to Gunther Rockseeker and Sildar Hallwinter. The poor beasts were killed by the numerous arrow protruding from their sides. The saddle bags have been looted, and several feet away there is an empty map case.

Your group is surprised as 4 goblins emerge from the woods. Two from eaither side, north and south.

Two of the goblin fire arrows as the other two rush those nearest to the dead horses...

The first goblin (goblin 2) fires an arrow, which streaks towards Hader and lodges into the paladin's thigh (-3 hp), causing him clench his teeth in pain.
The next goblin (goblin 3) rushes at Ricroar and takes a wild swing, missing the nimble teifling, who sidesteps the goblin 's blow easily.
The third goblin (goblin 4) also takes aim at the distratcted Hader, firing at the paladin's exposed back scoring a perfect shot right in the middle of his back (-8 hp), as the arrow pierces the chainmail armor. Hader screams in agony as the arrow tears into his back, nicking his spine and lodging into his rib cage.
The final goblin moves towards Kalaham and attacks the fighter with it's scimitar. Kalaham is able to narrowly dodge the blow.

Goblin 2 re-nocks an arrow into it's shortbow and fires yet again at Hader, as the paladin is stumbling around in agony. The arrow sinks into Halder's shoulder (-3 hp) causing the paladin to momentarily fall to one knoee before recovering to his feet. Hader is now breathing heavily, taking great gulps of air and wincing in severe pain with every breath. Blood is running freely from his three wounds. The goblin (goblin 2) retreats back into the woods and out of sight.

The goblin that had run towards Ricroar steps into the tiefling and swings his scimitar again, cutting the tiefling's thigh(-3 hp).

Goblin 4 takes aim at Kalaham as it sees the paladin go to a knee. The arrow puches through Kalahams chainmail into his left shoulder (-5 hp), before he can bring his shield to bear, causing the rough fighter to curse the goblin archer.

Ricroars turn.

Kalaham (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=47117) - HP: 10/12 AC:18

Kalaham curses himself for not going up the steep embankments as he had down so many times in the past. He'll remember to not let his guard down again, if he survives this.

Focusing on the task in front of him Kalaham slices his sword in front of him at the Goblin.


Attack Roll [roll0]
Damage Roll [roll1]


Kalahams longsword clangs off of the Goblins shield, ringing through the forest. Kalaham glares at his opponent with barred teeth. He glances at Hader and calls out to him. "Hader! get some cover and heal yourself. Me and Ricroat have got this." He then calls back to Valken. "Valken, can you get that goblin in the embankment?!" Worried of his comrade he pressed on in the fight.

[Fighting_Ferret]

Ricroar attacks the goblin that is currently engaged with him (goblin 3), stabbing the goblin in the upper chest (-5 hp). The goblin shreaks in pain, but is still in the fight.

Kalaham also attacks the goblin (goblin 1) that hit him, leveling a very hard swing that goblin blocks with his shield. The goblin grunts as the blow staggers him back half a step. It shakes it head as if to clear it from a momentary fuzziness.

Valken's turn.

[tomafox]

Still sitting on his cart, Valken creates a spectral hand which he uses to touch Goblin 1, "Chill out, man."

Casting Chill Touch

[Fighting_Ferret]

The goblin engaged with Kalaham (goblin 1) spys the spectral hand of Valken's chill touch spell form and manages to move to the side in order to avoid the magical attack, although it eye's widen in fear of what the specrtal hand would do to it.


To Hit:[roll0] for [roll1] plus (if hit is a crit) [roll2]


The goblin (goblin 1) recovers from the last two attacks and slashes at Kalaham with it's scimitar, but Kalaham parries the attack with his longsword.

Hader's turn.

[Lowmoan]

QUOTE=Lowmoan;18307924]Hader (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=48670) - 1/12

Hader tries to regain his feet, but feels the shooting pain from his injured spine. Though he wishes to leap into battle despite his woulda, he admits the severity of the goblin's lucky shot.

He struggles over to one of the dead horses and goes prone next to it, hoping to benefit from the cover it grants. He begins channeling divine energy through his hands to heal his damaged spine, pulling out the arrow as the worst of the damaged flesh knits itself back together (4hp). He deserves some of his divine energy for emergencies. If another ally were to fall, Hader would not be caught having wasted all his gift on himself.

Goblin 2 shoots at Ricroar from the cover of the forest. The arrow catches Ricroar in the back of his shoulder (-3 hp).

Goblin 3, seeing the tiefling wince as the arrow strikes, takes the oportunity and slashes at Ricroar with it's scimitar, catching the tiefling flatfooted. The blade cuts deep into Rocroar's abdomen (-5 hp), the tiefling drops his weapon, as both hands go to his wounded abdomen. Goblin 2 slinks back into the forest as Ricroar clutches the wound.

The other goblin archer (goblin 4) seeing the tiefling helpless, draws back an arrow and lets it fly at the severley wounded tiefling. The arrow thuds into Ricroar's chest (-7 hp), knocking the staggered teifling flat onto his back. The goblin archer laughs with malicious glee as the tiefling falls. The dirt path under Ricroar begins to turn into a crimson mud as the tiefling's lifeblood flows onto it.

Ricroar needs to roll a 1d20 for death save.

His blade again connects with the shield of the Goblin. Striking hard yet not true. Kalaham curses and trys to not let himself be discouraged.

Valken's turn.

[tomafox]

As the tiefling went down, Valken finally got up, motioned his mule to stay put and walked slowly in the direction of the fight.
Goblin 4 would not get away with his life.

The warlock uttered a couple of words in a strange and ancient fey language and pointed at the goblin.

Valken casts his spell and the magical blast hits the goblin (goblin 4), but the hit is a very insubstantial hit (-1 hp), merely cutting a gash into the goblin's lower leg.

Goblin 1 grins wickedly at Kalaham afte it deflects his attack. It then cuts in low with its scimitar, the curved blade arching under Kalaham's shield and opening a gash (-4 hp), just above Kalaham's knee, but bellow the chain mail hauberk. The goblin steps back and licks the blood along the edge of it's blade, in a taunt to the fighter. Kalaham curses the goblin and taunts it back.

Hader's turn.

[Lowmoan]

Hader (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=48670) - 5/12

Hader struggles to his feet, feeling strength return to his limbs. He unsheathes his greatsword and closes the short distance to the goblin engaged with Kalaham (goblin 1). He brings down the greatsword with all the strength he can muster.

Hader's swing connects at the point where it's neck and shoulder connected, the blade bit deeply and came to a halt halfway through the goblin's chest. As Hader removes his sword, the goblin's body falls limply to the ground.

Goblin 2 seeing its fellow nearly cut in two, steps from the woods and fires it bow at Hader. The arrow flies several feet over Hader's head.

Goblin 3 rushes at Hader in a fury, swinging its scimitar at the paladin. In it's haste it aimed it's attack poorly and Hader, although injured, managed to easily dodge the blow.

Goblin 4 fires it's bow at Kalaham. The arrow flies wide of it's target. The goblin runs into the woods and disappears amongst the thick folliage.

Ricroar, time for another death saving throw.

Kalaham's turn.

Kalaham (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=47117) HP: 6/12 AC:18

Goblin 2 it is.

[Fighting_Ferret]

Valkens unleashes a bolt of magical energy towards the goblin archer (goblin2 ). The bolt strikes the goblin in the chest (-5hp), causing the goblin to utter a cry of pain and rage as it staggers backwards.

[Lowmoan]

Hader (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=48670) - 5/12

Goblin 3 easily sidesteps Hader's lunge, also causing Kalaham to dodge backwards.

Goblin 2 takes advantage of Hader's lunge and fires at the off balanced Kalaham. The arrow hits Kalaham's thigh, managing to just pierce the chainamil there (-3 hp).

Goblin 3 also takes advantage of Hader's missed lunge and attacks Kalaham but it's swing falls short of the target and passes harmlessly through the air as Kalaham dodges even further back.

goblin 4, seeing Hader overextended, fires it's bow at the paladin. The arrow thuds into Hader's side, just under his extended arm (-7 hp). The greatsword falls from Hader's grasp, as he falls face down into the dirt of the trail.

Ricroar needs to roll a thrid death save.

Goblin 4 sees Kalaham cut its fellow goblin in half, then charge it's way. The goblin (goblin 4) turns and runs from Kalaham's advance (bonus action to disengage).

Goblin 2 re-nocks another arrow and fires at Valken. The arrow finds it's target, thudding into Valken's upper arm (-3 hp).

Goblin 4 stops it's retreat and fires its bow at Kalaham. The arrow tears in Kalaham's lower leg (-4 hp).

Valken will grab Ric and lay him down over his own cart. "We should hurry to town. These guys need some rest. Damn goblins..."

Kalaham turns over Hador, lying him in his back, and makes sure he is breathing. He then moves to the goblins and sees if he can find anything to help them. "Valken, do you think we should move them in this condition? Let's at least take a short rest before continuing forward. See if these two will wake up soon."

Ricroar will regain consciousness in: [roll0] hours.

If not we can move out and see what lies ahead." Kalaham glances over at the dead horses. "If that is alright with you why don't you start making camp and I'm going to go see what I can determine from the dead horses. Our employers had to come through here, hopefully they made it safe but if not..." Kalaham pauses and stares off "I shudder to think what happened." He then turns and begins in the direction of the dead horses to investigate.

He searches the dead horses to see if there is anything of use on them as well. Depending on what he finds close to the horses he would expand his search a bit around the horses.


He then heads back to set up camp for a short rest. Pulling the cart close to one side of the embankment to prevent another ambush. He will share his findings with Valken and the party as they wake up. If they don't wake up in the hour or so Kalaham suggests waiting the extra time till they wake up.

[Fighting_Ferret]

Kalaham notices numerous tracks that could only belong to goblins and what appears to be 2 larger beings that appear as if they were dragged. The tracks end at the edge of the northern forrest. Going a bit further, he finds a worn foot trail that leads in a northeastern direction.

The horses themselves have nothing, save their saddle bags, saddles, and tack, which you could removed and place on the wagon, if you wish to do so.

Valken and Kalaham spend an hour moving the dead horses from the trail and resting, while deciding what to do next. Your companions are still unconcious.


It's about 2pm now

[Relkin]

Kalaham suggest the party continue resting and looking for clues, as he had prior, every hour for another 3 hours (until both wake up).

Hour 1

Survival: [roll7]
Investigation: [roll8]

So I'm looking around in the same areas I did before.

We got nothing better to do while we wait so we might as well keep looking around *Shrug*

Time of day should now be 5:00 PM

[Fighting_Ferret]

After several uneventful hours, Ricroar comes to. An hour later Hader returns to conciousness.

The sun is now low in the sky and you know that within an hour, it will be set.

(I'm going to give Hader and Ricroar a chance to voice their opinions now...)

[Lowmoan]

Hader (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=48670) - 1/12

Hader wakes with a start, his hand going to his side. Though still in great pain, he sits upright. He sees Ricroar similarly conscious but injured, and his other companions looking healthy enough.

"The ambush sight... did you find survivors? Or... corpses?"

[Filtro]

"Ugh...I'm not feeling so good...can we take some time to rest?"

[Fighting_Ferret]

I've got 2 votes for rest... you guys want a short rest, or a long rest?

[Relkin]

Long Rest.

[Lowmoan]

Long rest.

[Fighting_Ferret]

OK. The group decides to take a long rest. You set up a small camp to rest for the night. Any particular preperations you want to make for your overnight rest?

[Lowmoan]

Hader suggests keeping watch, and offers to take the first two-hour shift.

[Filtro]

Ric will just sleep through the whole thing and heal up.

[Fighting_Ferret]

Random Monsters? 1-3 = yes, everything else = no
[roll0]


The night passes without incident, the next morning at day break, you pack up camp. Everyone is completely restored. What do you want to do next?

[Relkin]

Refreshed and ready to go Kalaham recants the information that he found back to the party. About how he noticed numerous tracks belonging to goblins. He shows them the drag marks that end at the edge of the northern forrest. He also expresses his finding of a worn foot trail that leads in a northeastern direction. Kalaham suggests that the bodies belong to their employers and if the party wants their money they should probably save the two.

[Lowmoan]

Hader agrees.

"These men may or may not be our employer and his escort, but whoever they are, if they are alive, they need our aid. After our encounter with these beasts I would leave no man to their mercy, for they have none."

"Another thing. I would not care to be caught unawares in battle again."

Hader's hand goes to his side, healed, but still painful from his near-fatal arrow wound.

"One of us should act as a scout. If more goblins watch the paths ahead, then perhaps their eyes will not be on the trees."

[Fighting_Ferret]

Just waiting for party concensus...

[tomafox]

Valken readies his cart to follow the party and find their employer.

[Fighting_Ferret]

The carts won't fit down the foot trail. There are several places where you could hide the carts and tie the oxen/mule to graze, if you would like.

[tomafox]

I will then take care of it. Both my cart and the one we're all transporting.

[roll0]

[Fighting_Ferret]

You guys are falling beind a bit, so I am bringing you up to speed. I'm skipping some minor traps that your entire team would spot and moving you towards your declared goal.


Valken hides the carts and ties the animals up in an area where they should be fine for some time.

The group begins to follow the goblins' trail. After about 15 minutes Ricroar stops the group and points out a simple snare trap in the trail. The group quickly disarms the trap.

Further down the trail the group discovers another trap. The trap is a 10ft by 10ft pit that is 10 ft deep. The group uncovers the trap and continues onward...

Following the goblins' trail, you come across a large cave in a hillside. A shallow stream flows out of the cave mouth, which is screened by dense briar thickets. A narrow dry path leads into the cave on the right-hand side of the stream.

How would your group like to proceed?

[Lowmoan]

Hader eyes the cave entrance suspiciously.

"Now, if I were a goblin, how would I protect this place? We already know of their love of ambushes."

Hader examines the trail for signs of goblin tracks that may lead to some hiding place other than the cave.

Ricroar slowly and carefully inspects the cave entrance.

[roll1]
[roll2]

[tomafox]

Valken waits while the others check things out.

[Relkin]

Not one for stealth Kalaham lets Ricroar scout a bit ahead. He turns to Hader, "I agree, we are likely to run into an ambush. I feel that we should move ever so carefully now."

[Fighting_Ferret]

As you stealthily scout ahead, you notice 2 goblin sentries after crossing the small stream. They look bored and are not paying attention to their duty. What action would you like to take?


The rest of the party waits for Ricroar to return from scouting.

[Filtro]

I will signal the rest of the party, letting them know there's only two of them, while I draw an arrow and my bow, ready to fire when everyone is in position.

[Fighting_Ferret]

Everyone else tell me what you want to do and give me stealth checks just for good measure.

[tomafox]

Valken will take Ric's lead and prepare himself to attack.

[roll0]

[Lowmoan]

Hader takes up positions to charge as well. Though he attempts to move quietly, he is not hopeful of remaining undetected. He would rather have the protection of his heavy armor anyway. He nods to his companions, signaling that he is ready to initiate combat once everyone is in place.


[roll0]
[roll1]

[Fighting_Ferret]

Need Kalaham's stealth roll/action.

[Relkin]

Kalaham will do his best to be stealthy and prepare himself for a fight. Sword and shield in hand.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Fighting_Ferret]

Passive Perception:9
goblin1:HP:[roll0], Initiative:[roll1]
goblin2:HP:[roll2], Initiative:[roll3]



Hader:[roll4]
Kalaham:[roll5]
Ricroar:[roll6]
Valken:[roll7]


The party manages to sneak up on the goblins, mostly. Hader steps on a fallen branch making a loud cracking sound. The goblins immediately turn to locate the source of the noise, and they see Hader.

Kalaham, Ricroar, and Valken will be able to act in the surprise round, then initiative takes over.

Turn order is as follows:
Kalaham
Goblin 1
Goblin 2
Hader
Ricroar
Valken

Kalaham goes first.

[Relkin]

Kalaham (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=47117) HP:12/12 AC:18
Kalaham winces at the crashing sound coming from Hadar. He sees the goblins take notice and rushes over to the closest goblin to him and attacks!

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[Fighting_Ferret]

Kalaham's sword hits goblin 1 in the torso, ripping through the crude leather armor, and piercing the goblins heart (-10 hp). The goblin falls over, dead almost instantly, as Kalaham gives the blade a twist and a sharp tug to free it from the goblin's corpse.

Ricroar's turn.

[Filtro]

Attacking a different Goblin than Kalaham

[roll6]

[Fighting_Ferret]

The other goblin is caught unaware as Ricroar delivers 2 successful attacks. The goblin (2) is pierced twice. The fist lunge finds the goblin's heart (-14 hp), the second (uneccessary) lunge plunges into the goblins stomach (-6 hp). Both goblins are down without alerting anyone else nearby.

What would the group like to do now?

[Relkin]

Kalahm nods at Ric to continue scouting ahead.

[Fighting_Ferret]

going forward just to get the train back on the tracks...

Ricroar scouts the immediate area and reports seeing no more goblins... the cave entrance beckons the group onwards.
