Two hours into the Captain's Feast, (celebration of The Legend of Captain Seymoure), which is had the next day after the group arrives in The Hamlet of Inverness.

Where did it happen?

The Hamlet of Inverness and the nearby forest.

Why did it happen?

With the Wright on the rise, is requires sacrifices, and to that end the goblins guided by the voice have made camp in The Überlauf Tal, and have been kidnaping travelers on the road, which might've gone unnoticed with the beasts from the mountains roaming the land. These people have been dragged to various ritual sites and have been sacrificed to the wright, their soul energy restoring the spectral shape ever so slightly.
Now the goblins ever pressed to make a move, have tried something more brash and have openly attacked The Hamlet of Inverness seeking to take as many souls as they can.
