Into the Woods

The morning after the attack the adventurers were summoned by mayor Klienfeldt, who then sent the group after the goblins to investigate the unusual attack and evaluate the ongoing threat. With their trusty guide Jarred One-Tooth at the lead, the party set out into the woods south-west of the town, following the tracks left by the retreating goblins. In an effort to catch up with the goblins, the party ranged over some mountains and spotted a mysterious lighthouse standing on top of a mountain. After being waylaid by some manticores, the group descended back under the forest cover in search of the goblins.

Eventually the party tracked the goblins back to a disused mine. Upon approach, it seemed that some human captives were being held in a slapdash prison in the midst of a few crude shanties that had cropped up around the mine entrance. That is where the party bumped in into Trestin, a ranger who was stalking the goblins and trying to rescue his captured comrades. The group launched an attack on the goblin crew around the mine entrance, putting them down before they could call out for help. After combing through the shanties, the bodies of Trestin's allies were discovered, causing him to swear vengeance.
