    Forest Road

    The dirt road shows marks of heavy use by carts, horses, and both shod and bare feet. Following the path as Marik takes to the skies, the road slopes upward towards a small rise. Cresting the hill Leilani sees a shallow dell before her and an old farmhouse down and to the right. The road widens as it turns down and before you can see the scuff marks and dark stains in the the dirt Solarii growls, smelling the still wet blood pooling the cart tracks. Through the brush on the east side of the road you spot a glint of steel moving suddenly before a strange bird call sounds. The woods come alive as hobgoblin warriors dressed in mail and armed with spear, sword, and shield burst from the trees all around you.

    Above the trees Marik sees that the road travels for a few miles northwest before meeting a river and what looks like a town. His scenic view of the greater Elsir Vale is interrupted by shouts below him as hobgoblins ambush Leilani and Solarii.

    Leilani spotted the Hobgoblins so the PC's are not surprised. Marik has first action, 100ft above the map.

    MAP! No account is necessary, you can use the map as a guest.
