The team traveled south through the Dymrak Forest toward the goblin lair. As they moved through the woodlands, they were attacked by five giant vampire bats! The vicious creatures were tenacious but not terribly accurate with their attacks. The party proved likewise, so the battle drew out for quite some time. Most of the bats were dead when a squad of hobgoblins led by a hobgoblin king astride an ice wolf attacked! The hobgoblins proved more dangerous with their swords and the freezing breath of the wolf. Several of the party were badly injured, but they took down the hobgoblin foot soldiers and the rest of the bats. The mighty hobgoblin king swung away with a massive two-handed sword, but the team was able to injure his mount badly enough that it ran off with the king still in the saddle!
The group nursed their wounds by rubbing random plants from around the forest in them, since they had no healer. They then looted the bodies and lamented they had no healer. They decided to turn back to Fyodorll’s camp to rest before seeking out the goblin lair.
