Downtime
- Sold some armour, bought some more armour.
Notes
Tasked with finding where the goblin's main base are, what resources they have and how many there are.
- We stumbled into a sentient scarecrow, Unnamed Scarecrow, who wasn't being paid.
- We gave them Foreman's card.
- He wants to be a dad.
- We followed the goblin tracks into a barn where a family was hiding. Foreman offered the child his manhood ceremony.
- We came across an obelisk with Cult of Frankenstein writing.
- The orb on it is throbbing in time with Maggie's gem.
- Brody touched the gem and it turned into an eye who said, in a scary voice, "I've found you".
- We took the gem.
- The goblins are building a giant bridge of sorts, to make a chokepoint in the valley from which to send troops.
- Very early stages, could be fucked up now.
- We bumped into a baker's dozen of goblins and killed them.
- One of the magic-wielding leaders was caught and tied up.
- The mages had stink clouds that made your attacking worse and they could also blind you.
- We found two towers, one with a bird symbol which we recognised as Cult of Vornax. There was also a burning hand which symbolises a cult which is often worshipped by the same kinds of people who follow Vornax.
- At the base of these towers, there is a mix of goblins and hobgoblins worshipping the effigy. The goblins avoid the hobgoblins slightly.
- There's also a large smeltery producing large quantities of crude weapons and armour.
- We found an abandoned goblin camp with a backpack that had a bomb in it. A crude trap we disarmed!
- We found another camp with goblins, seemingly more a reserve camp of unrelated goblins.
- We found a sneaky bard called Pit Bull, who was running away from goblins.
- We also found a chunk of meteor.
- Some goblins were felling a set of trees.
- They were led by a bugbear.
- We set fire to all the trees they did.
- In a desert area we found a temple surrounded by violent winds.
- It is a temple of the Cult of Tempest.
- Symbols are carved into the wall of related gods. Those of the other elements.
- Making an offering at the temple gave Fabian and Maggie one use of Gust of Wind.
- We found a bugbear encampment in the mountains.
- They are ready for a fight.
- We found a sleepy troll in a cave.
- Some farm houses had a wand to summon an ice mephit.
Goblins Killed: 12.
Goblins Kidnapped: 1 (mage).
When we arrived back we met Sir Alastair Battleburn's replacement, Phil Stonewall. He was there with his uncle, a "proper dwarf".
