Sessions 10 -11 - A Tangle of Thorns
General Summary
After a long preparation for the journey to Thistletop, the party makes it way east on the Lost coast Road, crossing Shank's Wood and finally, by early noon time reaching the bridge over Thistle River. This is where they were told to turn north into Nettlewood and follow the river bed through the dense vegetation to the goblin's lair.
The walk through the woods is difficult. Poisonous plants like the goblinberry or the stinging nettles block passage and you often have to backtrack your steps out of a particularly poisonous situation. Finally Wesh notices a foot path made by goblins, and you follow it through the forest to a high briar of nettles and thorny vines, A make shift door leads to a tunnel in the vegetations.
Wesh uses his ability to walk through the briar unharmed to scout the tunnels. He locates a cavern where refugees from the Birdcruncher Goblin tribe huddle desperately together, and a large cavern with a shaft in the ground through which you can hear the sea.
When Wesh continues investigating the thorny lair, he is attacked by a goblin druid: Gogmurt the Wise. The combat goes on for quite some time. Goblin dogs from a nearby kennel join in as do some of the Birdcruncher refugees. Eventually you overcome Gogmurt and his Firepelt Cougar companion nd reach the bridge leading from the briar tunnels to the island itself.
