Journal 04A - Aleena's revenge
Posted 18th November 2008 at 06:50 AM by fba827
The group left the Scarred Sage's Tower, and headed east, towards Theta, but staying off-road so as to limited who might be pursuing them.
After traveling for about half-an-hour they came across a the site of a previous battle. There was a dead horse attached to a covered wagon, along with a dead armored man, and a young girl (around 14-16yo) who was, surprisingly, still alive. She was pulling the wagon apart looking for something.
The group approached her, and after some discussion learned her back story. Her name is Aleena Brightspear, her mother is Sarah Brightspear (the high priestess of Pelor, who also serves on the Tarvos Kingdom's council). Sarah and 4 others were found dead this morning with the elven army's symbol craved in to their foreheads. The city is investigating within the city, however Aleena is convinced that something else is going on. Because, the day before she and her mother (and now-dead guard) were attacked here on the road by some goblins who attempted to steal her mother's chest of clothes. Aleena figured it was more than a coincidence and so she came back to this battle site looking for clues. While talking to her, Aleena also made mention of seeing a tiefling in the woods during the fight but he was gone by the time she looked up again.
The group helped Aleena search and eventually found goblin tracks. Following the tracks then ended up at an old farmhouse, surrounded by a few small tents. Walking around the area were several goblins.
The group approached the goblins and asked (going on a hunch) to speak with Duncan. The goblins said Duncan wasn't there but then they started demanding to know who the PCs were.
The PCs simply drew blades - the affiliation with Duncan and the fact that he wasn't there was enough of a reason for the PCs to want to attack. During the fight, Melenna went inside the farmhouse only to discover 4 hobgoblins inside. Melenna fled back out but the hobgoblins continued to remain inside.
Once the goblins were killed, the group tried to lure the hobgoblins out. At first they tried some tricks, but in the end they started burning the house to smoke the hogoblins out.
After a while, the hobgoblins leapt out of the second floor window with a large clothes chest (Aleena identified it as her mother's chest).
It was a very long and hard fight with the 4 hobgoblins, but in the end, they were killed.
Aleena was filled with relief since, in her mind, she has just avenged who she blames for her mother's death (the fact that they had her mom's stuff was enough evidence for her that they were involved in the previous day's attack).
Basil quickly rode to a safe distance (not wanting the necklace artifact to raise the goblinoids as undead) while the others put out the house fire, kept an eye out for trouble, and searched the wreckage.
It's now month 10, day 2, noon-ish.
