Session 2: Questing! Report

General Summary

The party continued their journey towards Umbrage Hill to talk to the midwife and urge her to return to town. On their way, they came across some dead horses and a bound and gagged halfling. As they freed the halfling, goblins ambushed the party. One goblin ran away at the end of the fight and the party did not give chase. The party spoke with the restrained halfling and discovered his name was Rashmi and that he was traveling the area looking for bandits. He agreed to join the party on their quests. Alex determined that the area had been regularly used as an ambush point by the goblins and that they must have some kind of encampment nearby. The party followed the goblin tracks, lured a few goblins out of hiding by purposefully springing one of the traps, and after dispatching those goblins they proceeded to the end of the trail where they found a cave.
The party made their way into the cave, fed and freed some wolves who were chained up in one of the first chambers of the cave. The goblins then tried to drown the party by releasing dams of water that were set up further back in the cave. The party survived and ended up taking on the rest of the goblins in the cave. The party were successful, long rested, then continued to Umbrage Hill where they found the midwife, Adabra, calling for help from the second floor of her house as a manticore tried to break in. Rashmi distracted the manticore with food, gave it more when it asked, and then the manticore left. Adabra came out to thank the party. They urged her to return to town for her safety but she insisted she needed to stay in the area for her patience. The party then tied up Adabra, forced her into a wheelbarrow and rolled her back into town. Adabra complained to the Townmaster about her treatment. He paid the adventurers 25g for completing the task and then the party visited Stonehill Inn. Toblen was happy to see them again and gave them some mail (insulting poems that Galandro Luna had left for Grai and Ander). Grai asked the whereabouts of Galandro and was told that he had gone to Leilon for the week. Grai asked if the innkeeper could let her know when Galandro returned to town. He said he would try.
The party ate some boar stew (which Alex insisted was not salty enough and terrorised the cook by entering the kitchen to obtain salt). Alex also asked Toblen to send some post for her (10g to her parents) which he said he would organise. Grai then advised the party that she knew somewhere they could go have a fight and took them down the street to The Sleeping Giant. Four ruffians approached the party and the session ended there.
