The team ransacked the goblin lair and discovered a secret door hiding a locked chest. Within was a fortune in gold and gems! The team then left the lair and found a secure campsite out in the woods where they nursed their wounds for several days. They asked the old woman they rescued, Babushka, about what she learned while captive by the goblins. She told them about other prisons, including a man named Stephan! They were taken days ago to the ruins of Xitaqa by the hobgoblin Vlack. The goblins believed “Ole’ Skinny-Legs” would be able to better interrogate the prisoners and find the location of the “great map” for which they are looking.
The group returned to Sukiskyn, and the homesteaders agreed to take in Babushka. The party asked the homesteaders if they knew the location of Xitaqa, and Kuzma told them they should ask the old “horse-man” of the moors. The other homesteaders snickered at this, but she insisted he was old enough to know about the ruins. She told them they could summon the horse-man by going to the moors and whistling at midnight for three nights in a row while standing on one foot. The team decided to instead seek answers elsewhere and had the idea of going to see if there is a library or such in the city of Kelvin. The team rested and saddled up to head there. After a few days, the came to the great gates!
The team was allowed in after being warned that mage spells are strictly forbidden within the city at all times. The went back to the Writhing Serpent tavern where their adventures all began. They began asking all the locals about Xitaqa and the Iron Ring and got no answers. However, they noticed a shady character (the waitress called him Rogo) slip out after eyeing the party for a while. The group rented rooms, and in the middle of the night members of the Iron Ring burst in and attacked!
