Team Alfa First Session
Notes
Everyone is doing their thing in Handlestadt when by some method or another they are propositioned by an enterprising woman by the name of Quynh. There have been attacks on caravans fitting the pattern of an owlbear attack followed by goblin attacks and theivery. One by one the group assembles to join Quynh's quest to stop the attacks and capture the owlbear.
Plans are made.
The prices of poisons, potions, and scrolls are investigated and coffers found lacking.
Eventually the group opts for some traps and nets and the hope that we might find better fortune before the fateful run in with the owlbear.
They talk to <a dude, Willem?> who had a cousin killed in a raid and knows where it was from a survivor.
The group sets out in the morning and with Cinder's guidance and tracking skills quickly come to the location of the previous attack.
Soon thereafter...
Goblin Ambush
Goblins have set up an ambush, but a few notice and are able to prepare. The wooded area leads to a largely ranged back and forth from tree cover to tree cover.
Cinder charges in on Tim, but finds himself on the ground. Quynh also falls to gobin arrows. The rest move into position and the long back and forth begins with arrows on one side and crossbows and sacred flame on the other.
It is only through numerous heals from Gorra and Thola that the group succeeds in killing 6 of the goblins and chasing off 2. (Thola exploding one in a burst of holy fire was definitely incentive for them not to be sticking around)
The dog Tim is healed, a quick survey of the dead reveals some coins, and the grim trophy of goblin ears is collected.
