The Journey to the West, an account by Tallion

I arrived in town in the early afternoon and I made my way to Fairhaven's tavern, looking for any local prospectors. While I found no prospectors I did find a group of experienced adventurers setting up an expedition exploring the Western region. I promptly joined Rurik, Nongo, Loy and Godfrey's expedition and we headed out of town after a short stop at the general store. Before heading into the wilderness we visited the wise gnome ranger Malifer and learned much useful lore regarding the local regions. After bidding Malifer goodbye we traveled up the river until the evening where we then found a camp being scavenged by a pack of hyenas and a massive alpha. After dispensing the hyenas with great efficacy we discovered it was not the beasts that killed the camp's occupants but rather a raiding band of goblins. Deciding to seek justice on behalf of the fallen we followed their tracks after burying the men's bodies. We trekked partway into the night until Godfrey's stamina ran dry and we then stopped until morning. The next day we continued tracking the green thieves through the Plains of Estobar, wading through the neck high grass as we went. At around midday we spotted a distant trail of rising smoke and upon getting closer we located the source atop a cliff. Sneaking up on the encampment was easy after spotting their traps and the fight ended as quickly as it begun with not a single one of the murderers escaping. After the dust settled we looted their camp and after discovering the furs we confirmed that they were indeed the perpetrators. Nongo the noble volunteered to return the men's rings and a locket to their families. Afterwards we decided it was time to return to Fairhaven and prepare for our next incursion into this continent's vast wilderness.
