The team rushed toward the bridge and gatehouse as goblins riding dire wolves crashed out of the woods and took up pursuit! From the gatehouse, a man called out urging them through the gate. The group got inside, and a woman shut the gate behind them. To the side a barn was ablaze, and goblins came pouring through. The team ran toward the homestead, fighting goblins all the way. Arrows plinked down from the homestead’s tower, and a one-armed man ushered them through the strong homestead door.
Inside, the group met the family of Sukiskyn. Pyotr, the head of the family, was at the top of the tower taking shots at goblins getting too close. Two floors down, his wife Darya was doing the same. In the main room, the team met Pyotr’s son Taras and his wife Alfana, Pyotr’s daughter Irina, and his youngest son, Matvey. Pyotr’s mother, Kuzma, revealed some healing skills and helped the group recoup from some of their injuries. The one-armed man, Stellios, is the house servant. They also met young Masha and her baby Garina. Masha was distraught over the death of her father Novannes the blacksmith and her husband Hakos, his apprentice, minutes earlier.
All around the homestead, camp fires illuminated the woods. War drums resounded all around the valley. Suddenly, they went silent and screams of a woman filled the night air. The group could see a woman in a yellow dress way across the clearing by the tree line. Darya was upset believing it to be her friend Katarina Cherkass. Taras believed it to be a goblin trick, but Cassia, Jarek, and Zandra rushed out to her rescue. When they got up to her, they found she was some ugly humanoid in disguise! Goblins burst from the undergrowth and surrounded the trio. They were cut down by the goblin blades in seconds, and their friends watched in horror from the homestead as their bodies were decapitated and heads taken as trophies! The goblins took their grisly prizes off into the woods screaming with excitement as the war drums once again took up their beat.
