After a long rest in the cave, resting there for nearly a day, The Outsiders returned to the ruin where Hamun Kost was hiding out on the 29th. Asked to find a banshee in order to know whom built the necromancer's new home, The Outsiders ventured to the ruins of a small town. After a cursory search, The Outsiders set out to find the banshee. She told the group that the wizard Arthindol built the tower long ago and they marched to the necromancer and arrived early in the morning. Learning what they could, the group set out toward Phandalin and were ambushed along the road by goblins from both side. Snapping off a shot, the Witcher fired wildly as the little creatures charged in. An arrow whizzed over Osa's head, who was in the lead, and another one sank well short of the group as the leader ran up and chucked a javelin at her. After the javlin planted in the ground Heirois rapid fired two more at the boss but they sailed wild. Arrows bounced off Osa's shield before she threw it down and drew her bow. Firing three arrows she pierced the boss and sent him straight to death's door but remained on his feet. An arrow sliced through Osa's arm as another cut through her side as more rained in around her. Another struck her rightly as Eldred cast a shadow of darkness around the southern ambushers. The boss stood his ground but as Witcher fired an arrow, it sunk through a little goblin he used as a shield. The second arrow found its mark and the boss died as Osa stepped into the darkness to consume a potion. An arrow cut through Witcher's arm as javelin pierced his upper thigh. Witcher dodged two more arrows before one stabbed into his shoulder but with a scream of anger he fired two of his own arrows and near cut down a goblin before another arrow found him as he tactically retreated. As Osa stepped out and cut into a goblin, Heirois took an arrow before Eldred came out and slaughtered a goblin and vanished. A sword clanged off Osa's armor as another arrow zipped by the Witcher. Parrying, Osa kept herself from blows as the Witcher sank an arrow deep through a goblin and killed him, still retreating. Osa swung her sword wildly at three goblins and killed two of them as the one left standing cut her back. The last of the archers started to run away as Eldred killed the last of the goblins in the fray. Closing his eyes, Witcher took a breath, anchored, and sent a shot 145 ft. before it eviscerated the neck of the fleeing goblin. The Witcher pulled an arrow from his shoulder and cured his wounds before The Outsiders set out to follow the cart trail of the horses that alerted them to an ambush. Along the trail Witcher disabled a hook trap, Osa then found another and Witcher declared, "fool us once, shame on them; fool us twice, shame on us. We need to be active about looking for traps."
On the trail the party of adventures, as Eldred was so fond of calling them, found a stream. The stream ran up to a cave entrance and into it. Nearby, goblins who were playing dice met an ambush from The Outsiders. With a wave, Eldred called the group up for it but cut the head off one goblin and stabbed the heart of another before the other to members even arrived. Inside, Eldred found wolves restrained. Witcher put two arrows in one, Eldred put a dagger into the same one and killed it and then killed another with the same attack, then Osa dropped the last. Climbing some rocks to a chute, the group slipped into a higher layer and hid behind stalagmites. Osa looked around the room, a large bugbear, two goblins, and a massive wolf laid within her sight. She drew back along with the Witcher and her arrow found a goblin true and killed him. Just as the Witcher fired, her second shot cut down another goblin and then witcher's two soared as Eldred charged. Swinging wildly at Klarg, Eldred's daggers cut deep. Then, the Witcher sent killing shots deep into the wolf. Osa hacked into Klarg as Eldred drove his daggers deep, killing him. Eldred then charged and killed another goblin as Heirois jogged up and then followed. He then skittered an arrow off one's shoulder before it took a flight of fear and ate Eldred's dagger. Another fled, warning the next, before Osa misty stepped and killed the warned. Caught in the back, in a fatal funnel, Heirois could only watch as his companions chopped through more goblins. Eldred called to have a man healed and the Witcher did so, one hand on a shoulder and he healed. Another hand and healing, Witcher sat him up and the man introduced himself. Shaking the fifty year old human Sildar Hallwinter's hand, Witcher healed him again in the greeting. He told the party that he traveled with Gundren to find the mines and they'd further lost a wizard friend known as Arno. A goblin offered a location to a castle and a mentioned a king, he suggested more then twenty inhabitants and begged and even had Eldred promise not to kill him. He said, "if I hadn't do it [capture Sildar] Klarg would have fed me to the wolves."
To which the Witcher replied as he drew his silvered blade, Soulsilver, "now I'm the wolf."
As the goblin bled on the floor with an open neck, the party gathered some stolen items and reassembled the wagon that Sildar rode in on. As usual, Heirois wanted nothing from the group but company, he offered them the goods and the profit to go along with them. They decided to divide the coin instead. After two and a half days of travel, as Northlander pulled the wagon, The Outsiders arrived in Phandalin and sold the spare goods.
