D&D Session 3
Bashers secures 7 rooms at a reasonable price for the party - 1GP per night at the Stonehill inn.
Silanne & Tremen head to the townhall and report the possible deaths of the dwarf and his protector at the hands of some goblins, that we adequately hunted down and dispatched.
Fiorana approaches the Sleeping Giant (tavern) which suspiciously looks empty and others seem to be wary of. The hairs on the back of her neck tingle, so she decides to scout the perimeter, noticing prying eyes on her movements. A little careful questioning leads to some information about a gang called Redbrands that owns the tavern and are disliked by the locals.The dwarf that I meet in the miners exchange, after exchanging greetings we begin a discussion. He seems upset at the news about the dwarf missing possibly killed by the goblins, he mentions they think somebody called spider may be controlling the goblins, after I mention that they seemed to be a little organised. I inquire about the mine and where the dwarfs brothers might be, to which he mentions they will be at the secret mine at echo cave. I relay this to Tremen whom I meet on my way back to the inn.
The party assembles in the inn, Basher & Fiorana decide to check out the Sleeping Giant. As they head out a commotion is heard outside. A cart is seen heading into town escorted by locals, full of goblins. The towns folk are cheering. After a short time they head off and discreetly gain entry into the Sleeping Giant. A little bit of snooping around discloses some rooms and a crowd downstairs in the cellar. Basher returns to the party and informs us that Fiorana is hidden inside the tavern and listening to the crowd. Some time passes and no sign of her return yet
Tremen the Tremolous engages with the locals who brought in the goblins, and discovers that they were caught slightly north of the funeral pyre he set. The locals discloses that the goblins muttered something about a dwarf and human been captured but were separated. The 4 captured goblins are escorted to the cells at the town hall, and returns to the inn. Fioranne returns some time later to the inn around 9.30 and passes on what she overheard.A short time later a messenger arrives and asks for the party, we are told we are wanted at the town hall as the town clerk wishes to hire us, to rescue the dwarf & human mentioned by the goblins. Tremen heads off to negotiate our fees, & 20GP per person is agreed. He then heads off to question the goblins about the location of the cave, which they disclose as the north of the funeral fire (the hidden goblin path discovered by Silanne). One of the goblin warns him about the water, and a big goblin with stick, which Tremen believes is a lookout.
Our ranger is absent, but is mostly likely doing a sweep of the village perimeter. The party don't worry as Silanne is experienced and very good at not been spotted
