An Adventurous and Productive Few Missions

It has been a while since I have covered my Dealing in this town that I now call home, there has been many successes and just as many losses.
 
With every adventure out of town we learn more of this land and even more of how far we can push before we get pushed back. In our mission to help a new gem prospector start a mine we were ambushed by a group of ogres and goblin that resulted in the loss of a few of the miners as well as the prospectors in the explosion of the smoke powder barrels which also maimed one of our local adventurers. With our success of driving off the ambush it is still hard to see all the losses of the people as well as an opportunity to expand upon the town.
 
In one of our exploration missions to learn more of what resides in the scab lands we found what my be the encampment of the ogre clan that is know as locally as the Bloody Fists. Knowing we would not be able to clear the camp we marked it on the map and left to explore further west along the border of the scab lands and the forest were we stumbled across a ritual with two ogres and some goblins one of the ogres which could cast very high level spells. luckily we were able to jump them as well as testing out my new inventions of my what I think I will call the "The Arcane Ballista, The Blazing Blunderbuss, and The Phalanx" (Force Ballista, Flamethrower, and Protector) With which we were able to defeat them and I am now in possession of a Mysterious black disk that is cold to the touch... it will be interesting to find out more of what it holds and if this is at all tied to those ruins and the ogre with the etching they took.
 
Finally with our last Quest I lead a few adventurers to see if we could take out the "Watchtower" that we previously discovered to be the staging point for the goblin raids. It took a few days of travel which was rather uneventful we got close to the tower where we saw a very obvious ambush with a crying baby tied up. We crept up and sprung the trap fighting the goblins that jumped out with relative ease saving the child. After which we found a safe spot for before the assaulted the Tower. We rushed through slaying Goblins quickly almost getting overrun in the process, however we were able to turn the tides of the battle as quickly ended the encamped goblins inside the tower. Looking around we found a handsome amount of gold inside as well with more information of a further stronghold deeper into their territory as well as more about this Drax and the creature that leads them to pillage the lands close to Fairhaven. With this info we will have to see if we have stemmed the tides of goblin raids or if this will just make things worse.
 
Regardless, some of the new adventurers that have joined us have shown to be very Promising and am glad to be adventuring with them. Plus with some more gold and buttering up of Wilfred we may soon be able to start work on the Masons/blacksmiths guild that I feel this town could so very much use. One of the things I may have to look for is someone who would start a stone quarry to supply the guild as what is a Mason without stone to work.
