Setting off for Phandalin¶
DATE: Phoenix 8, 3642
Fraiser and Odinshield set out two days ago from Neverwinter on their way to Phandalin
They are escorting a wagon, pulled by Fekk the Gnome, full of goods and supplies for their patron Gundren Rockseeker
They were not given many details, but promised 10gp each when they arrived
Gundren took off ahead of them, with his partner Sildar Hallwinter
During their 3rd day on the High Road south out of Neverwinter, they take a turn east on the Triboar Trail
Shortly after, they spot a couple of dead horses on the trail
Odinshield and Odin scout ahead to find two goblin waiting in ambush near the horses
Goblin Ambush!¶
Learning about this, Fraiser runs up from near the wagon and lands a perfect shot with his longbox against a goblin heavily obscured in the bushes - FIRST BLOOD
However, two additional goblins in the woods take aim at Fraiser standing in the open, badly wounding him
Odin, scouting in a tree above the two goblins that Odinshield spotted, dive bombs a goblin badly injuring them
Having just watched his buddy next to him take an arrow to the dome and being attacked by a bird from nowhere, the goblin runs north in an attempt to flee
Meanwhile, Arctos charges the forest area where the arrows came from that hit Fraiser, and mauls a goblin to death before engaging a second one
Odinshield rushes to Arctos side and cleaves the goblin in half with a lightning attack from Killer, his infamous battleaxe that has slain hundreds of his enemies
Odin and Arctos team up to find and defeat the last fleeing goblin
After, Fraiser finds a hidden goblin trail heading north, and Fekk explains the saddles and horses belong to Gundren/Sildar
They don’t find any additional supplies or information on the horses, it is clear they were being left there as bait for ambushes
Tracking Goblins¶
DATE: Phoenix 8, 3642
After things settle down, the group decides they need to follow the trail and attempt to locate Gundren
Fekk stays back with the wagon while the rest proceed
With the help of Arctos and The Bird following Odinshield, the group is able to avoid two traps laid about by the trail keepers
Eventually, the trail came alongside a stream and lead to a cave
But first, they find two goblins stationed outside the cave entrance as guards and are able to dispatch of them
They find the inside of the cave is completely dark, and Odinshield can’t see well with his dumb human eyes
Immediately inside they find a room with several wolves chained up and take a decent amount of damage while attempting to quickly kill them before they alerted others in the cave
Moving deeper into the cave they are surprised when the stream begins to flood and sweeps Fraiser off his feet, nearly out of the cave altogether
Ahead is a bridge with a goblin atop who spotted the party and literally opened the flood gates
At this point, Odinshield and his bird companion dash up a splintering hallway and encounter another goblin in the dark, killing him
The goblin was actually killed by Odinshield’s bird who transformed into a human to make the attack and transforming back to a bird before Fraiser could see
Rushing across the bridge, Odinshield and his bird kill the other goblin
