Tomas met us in a tavern where he told us that they found the goblin’s headquarters. He thinks that the tribal leaders are there. The goblin army is elsewhere, so now would be a good time to attack the leaders. They will pay us 150 GP each to do this. He gave us a map that shows us going past Briarhill, past the Bugbear’s cave and to a fort.

We left Wellune and travelled Briarhill. We examined the Mayor’s house again, but found nothing.

We then walked to the goblin’s fort and proceeded to invade.

In one room, we found scrolls with orders for raids as well as some maps. These had all been sealed with wax, but were broken. We also found a paper with some unbroken seals on it.

We killed a few goblins and hobgoblins. Eventually, we made our way to the mess hall where we fought and slew fifteen goblins and emerged victorious. The mission was accomplished. We left for Wellune.

On our way back to the city, we found a survivor from Briarhill named Edwin. We told him that we would help him get to Wellune.

Further on our way, Tomas found us. He said that Redbeard thinks that the mayor of Briarhill was involved in the goblin attacks. He said that he will take us south to where the mayor is so that we can catch him and bring him to justice.

Tomas led us to a clearing with a large cliff wall in it. There was graffitti all over the wall. We went over to it to read it. It looked like goblin scrawl. Suddenly, Tomas cast Web on us from a wand. We were all stuck to the wall.

Tomas said that we were supposed to die in the attack on Briarhill. Redbeard wanted us to perish so that the national army would be sent out to deal with the goblin problem. Then, he would take control of them and use the army to overthrow the rule and take over the nation.

Tomas slew Edwin. Some of us broke free from the web and attacked Tomas. He lost an arm vanished. We lost all of our loot except for a few weapons and the one paper with unbroken scrolls.

We decide to head to the capital and press our case for action against Lord Redbeard.
