The team crossed the Volaga river and headed toward the gnome ferry. Off in the distance, they saw four horses on the Moors; they recognized them from their travels in the woods several weeks back. After some debate, they followed and tracked the horses and came upon the centaur Loshad! He greeted the party and asked about the white horses with them. He approved of their plan to sell them to the elves of Rifllian. He told them about a group of humans and goblins camped nearby who had other humans and horses chained up and were beating them. After some discussion it became clear Loshad had somehow causes the horses to go wild, but now he believed the humans were going to kill the horses out of frustration. The team decided to go and try and free the people and horses.
The group snuck up on the camp during the day (believing the goblins to be asleep) and came in from two sides. They caught the slavers by surprise. Things went well early on. Arrows took down some slavers while the melee party members closed in and mopped up. Valor even cut one slaver completely in half. Then things went sideways. The slavers had a cleric in their midst! A single hold person spell froze four of the party in their tracks! Several Hounds of the Iron Ring closed in and clamped on some manacles! Obviously the slavers want as many taken alive as possible. As the rest of the team came charging across the battlefield to try and save their friends, the first of the sleepy goblins began sticking their heads out of tents!
