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
