Koehan recognized the language of goblins arguing over food, and he called out asking if they had room for one more. After a shocked moment, a tiny voiced called back, “No!” Garadal the halfling then tried to kick open the door of one of the buildings. The big heavy stone door. It did not budge, but his toe did. The group then converged and found the door was unlocked and opened fairly easily. Inside, five unsurprised goblins rushed to the attack! The goblins landed several heavy blows, but the party was too fast and organized. The goblins were quickly defeated and looted.
The team then explored further and found a heavily traveled passage through a building to another street. The group was walking along when a door opened, and a shocked goblin cried out, “Intruders!” The party swarmed in and defeated him, his ally, and their pet rock baboon. They then piled into the small dwelling, and Katarina cast wizard lock on the door. Outside, they could hear the goblins and baboons running about looking for any intruders.
A while later, Koehan was listening at the door, and he could hear two deeper voices, speaking Hobgoblin, talking about moving up a timeline with a prisoner and informing Golthar of the disturbance. The team then faced a dilemma. Do they rush out and try to find this prisoner, or do they rest and nurse their wounds?
