3. Save a Horse...

Soldath, you and Biz can recover any darts that didn't successfully hit their targets.

Athelstan - Fighter
Athelstan mounts up, and starts to ride toward the path the horses followed... "Do what you must, but by all means, let's get moving... we have horses to locate." If the group doesn't start to get moving or release/kill the goblin shortly, Athelstan will begin to ride off, following the path of horses...hopefully a full party will be behind him...

Renardius (Cleric)

Renardius, of course, is right beside Athelstan.

Soldath, you and Biz can recover any darts that didn't successfully hit their targets.

I was hoping so! Thanks for proactively answering my question!

Biz goes to collect her darts; one out of the beetle, and the one that flew past a beetle.

Day 9, Loshdain, Thaumont 9th, Dymrak Forest, early evening

You follow the trail through the woods. Taras catches up a few minutes later, black blood on the blade of his axe. He says nothing.

After riding a few miles, you come to wide but overgrown trackway. This leads southeast, further into the forest, for about 12 miles. Just as you start thinking about dinner, and stopping for the night, you see a sign nailed to a tree. It reads, in Traladaran and Elvish:

Miss L. Fyodorll
Equine Entrepreneur
Dealer in Fine Horses

The trail continues for a few more hundred feet ahead of you, then opens into what looks to be a clearing.


Note: W2 on the map marks the scene of the horse massacre and beetle fight. You are at the very edge of the map, where the dotted line ends.

Actions?

Tret, rogue

"Seems we have a name to match with the elf."

[badams30]

Athelstan - Fighter

"It's about time. Let's be on guard here, anyone who would knowingly deal with goblins is suspicious to me." Looking at Tret and Jarek, "Look sharp, we may have need of your special talents here... should things go south."
Motioning forward, "Let's go then..." and he'll go forward into the clearing, cautiously watching about.

[greyarea]

Tret, rogue

Tret looks to Jarek with a wink and a smile. "Hear that, buddy? Athelstan might need me to seduce the lady. Why he thinks that's one of your special talents, I'll never know."
