Turn 1: Into the caves!
Each of you came to the border city of Pononkir to further your own goals of knowledge or wealth.
But none of you could resist the temptation of a quest: Goblins launched nighttime raids on the city's farmlands from a cave nestled in the foothills nearby, and the Mayor could spare no guards due to the threat of Orc invasion. Thus, a call was put out for adventurers to deal with the menace.
Your mission is simple: Eliminate the lurking Goblin threat. The offered reward is modest, but you may keep any treasure you find in their lair.
Additionally, you were approached by an emissary of the Mages' Institute with a second task: Deep underground rest ruins of an ancient city, which the Goblins may be using as a base of operations. It is an area of interest to the Institute, but they have so far been unable to investigate due to the dangers therein; their resources are stretched thin by the war, and their researchers and scholars have little capacity for combat.
If practical, while you're exterminating the Goblins, recover any artifacts of interest from the ruins and bring them to the Institute for study; you'll be rewarded per artifact.
It's dark and damp down here, torches barely pierce the gloom. But you've finally reached the bottom of that accursed stairwell; you'd found it in the back of the modest cave near the surface, and it seemed to go on for hours. It opens into a vast cavern, occupied by the ruins you'd been told of.
While each of you had your own imaginings of what it might look like, none of you quite expected what you found- rather than carved dwellings in the walls, or perhaps giant stalagmites, entire sections of the cavern had actually been quarried out in order to build an literal city of stone structures. While the architecture was distinct from the style of modern cultures, it was definitely reminiscent- as pointless as it seemed, the ruins were once actually protected by a gated wall, though it now lay in shambles.
