They investigate the marketplace for anyone who might have encountered the goblin raiders.


<i>Some poking around the marketplace reveals GRANNET SOMEBODY, whose cousin was lost to a similar raid two or three days back.

About ten or twenty minutes later, the shocked survivors were beset by a goblin band while they were recovering. The cowardly coward never came down, and so watched the goblins ambush and murder the caravanners. Since Grannet did not want to be hanged for murder, he convinced the cowardly coward to reveal the location of his cousin's body and Grannet let the man go with a strong encouragement to leave town. </i>
