Get into that damned store damnit. and case the joint.

[KineseN]

Hmm, it's getting darker. Just how I like it.

Sneak around in the valley while searching the herbs with the dagger ready. Noone will sneak up on me now.

[Draignean]

"Try pushing anything round, flaming,  and unsalvageable down the hill, give the goblins a tast of their own!" Draignean had a strong running dislike of fire arrows, they weren't good for much other than fear and... "By the broken blade!" Draignean swore, making for the pack horses. Which were, if not on fire, probably in some state of equine panic. Without the horses they'd lose a lot of their food, and definitely the cargo.

Get to the horses, help the handlers contain the situation. If they don't need help then go with the others to put out the fires.

[SeriousConcentrate]

My searching can wait. My duty to Nex takes precedence. Moving quietly, I try to kill the closest goblin without the other two noticing, and if successful, continue picking them off before they realize what's happening.

[Ahra]

howl in rage while launching myself up in the air on my wings of darkness striking down on the goblins of one of the campfires. (with my sword.)

[Draignean]

I'm really interested in how Serious' Char and mine are going to get along on the caravan job. She's a dark paladin of Nex, I'm wearing a pendant of Pacator. (Who sounds like the Antithesis of Nex)

Should be Fun.

[SeriousConcentrate]

It's an interesting challenge, since right now I'm trying to be a hero about it and only kill evil-types... but maybe if the opportunity comes up...

[Taricus]

Hey, No fair...

[Lordinquisitor]

Yeah, i`m also quite interested in how it works out. Nex is actually a pretty neutral god and embodies mostly natural death; But he also has a dark side. So it`s up to Serious how evil he will act. Arah, while not evil per se, also seems to display some dark sides.. Luckily he has no visible demonic mutations or else he would face some prejudice.

Redleave and Blackroot are easy enough to find. You find both growing between the roots of a dead tree. Shadowleave is harder to find, though. You search for some hours, always trying to be sneaky.. But you can`t shake the feeling off that you are being watched.

Finally you find the Shadowleave growing next to some huge rocks. After picking up a huge bundle of those elusive flowers you decide to leave the valley..
But suddenly the ground starts to rumble beneath your feet. Quickly you jump away, just as a huge humanoid covered in black hair bursts forth from below.

The Creature is roughly two times as big as you are and got two huge tusks, just like an elephant. The Fingers of the creature are massive claws. You are sure that you have heard stories about such creatures before, but you can`t remember them.

To your surprise it seems capable of speech. As it starts to walk towards you it repeatedly utters the word "Meat".

You were right; The Fire started to panic the horses. But with your help the handlers manage to refrain them from running away. More Fire Arrows fly through the air, but now everyone is awake and doing his job. Fires are put out and several archers fire back at the Goblins. After some time the volleys from below stop. Seems like the Goblins just wanted to cause some chaos and have left now.

You sneak up to one Goblin and with a cunning strike you kill him instantly from behind. However, you are being noticed by the two other Goblins. (Hey, he was standing right next to them and a camp fire was burning!) Apparently not keen on a fight they drop their bows and run away, squeaking.

It might not seem like the wisest idea to fly through an air filled with arrows, but somehow you are skilled enough to dodge every single one of them. You spot two Goblins and swoop down, stabbing one of them in the head with your Shortsword. The Other Goblin panics and runs away.

"Seems like they left." The Veteran from earlier, a human called Lyell, remarks. "`Tis was but a little ambush to weary us. They couldn`t seriously hope to win here. Oh no.. Those are clever little bastards. I guess they will try to attack us somewhere else, once the terrain is advantageous to them. Soon we`ll have to cross a river.. I can feel it in my bones that we have to be wary of the crossing. Still, there`s nothing we can do about it. I suggest that we all get some sleep and move out as soon as possible."

Steal some armour

[KineseN]

"You want meat? Come get some!" Looks like a troll, but I'm not certain. This is bad. I've heard that trolls can neutralize most of the weaker poisons. Lets hope it isn't a troll.

Dab the dagger in Witch Brew and just cut until I hit the flesh. Retreat as soon as the effect manifest itself or keep doing a hit-and-run tactic to wear the creature down.

[Draignean]

"Fire is great for wearing people down... We could use a foreguard if we can spare the horses and men to make one, a couple good fighters running into an ambush is better than running the entire caravan into it. I volunteer myself for one of the positions.

Create Foregaurd, volunteer for said foreguard.

[SeriousConcentrate]

After I throw the corpse into the fire to offer it to Nex, I'll continue searching for any unconsidered trifles that may be lying around. The goblins might have possessed a few things that would be... interesting... to have.

[Ahra]

get back to the caravan.

You throw the corpse into the fire and pray to Nex. You don`t know how, but you feel that he`s listening and that you have earned his favor. (Despite the fact that the sacrifice was just one measly goblin.)
Afterwards you search around and you find the three bows dropped by the Goblins and one flask containing thick oil. (That was used to set the arrows on fire.)

Roll: 6

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You propose your idea to the Veteran and the Caravan Master and both are eager to agree. At once they summon a dozen warriors that shall follow your command; The rest will stay behind to guard the caravan. (The other player characters of the caravan must choose whether they join the Foreguard or not.)

Dawn breaks (At least at the river. In the Town and the Valley its still dark.)  and the Caravan moves on. Around Midday you reach the River and you can see why the Veteran expects the Goblins to attack here- To your right you see a steep, forested, cliff. A Waterfall is coming down from there and flows westwards, where it flows down another cliff. The Crossing is quite small; Only around 3 Men can ride side by side. The other side of the river is heavily forested.

If the Goblins are hiding in the forest or on the cliff it will provide them with very good cover while the men crossing the river will be open to attacks.

The Caravan stays well behind while Draignean and his Foreguard discuss what they should do.
