You've been hearing the rumors for two days now. "The Hall of the Dwarven Lord has fallen to the hobgoblins!" At first you didn't believe it was true, but then the regular shipment of dwarven ale didn't arrive this morning, and there's been no word of the hall either.
If the rumors are true, then there must be plenty of hobgoblins to slay and treasure to recover. The dwarves have always been friendly, so helping them rid their home of hobgoblins would be the right thing to do. Besides, you'd hate to think that the hobgoblins are up there wasting all the perfectly good dwarven ale!
What do you do?

(Best we just restart at the beginning. Just pretend you don't know )
pretended I don't know what you know it will be hard to pretend that a G. cube isn't lurking the halls lol but I'll try
"Come now Ray," Brawar says to his big friend with the axe. "They're may yet be treasure to discovery and a few hobgoblins to cleave. I say we leave at once, put that tankard down and let's go," he says with a grin.
Everyone around the table knows Brawar is dead set on exploring the "Halls" to find dwarven magic and maybe a few new spells.
"Oh, I dunno, mebbe they won't mind much after we save their arses.....an' what're they gonna do? Tell us t' git lost after we git rid o' the gobs fer 'em? Nobody gits nuthin' fer free....." the gray and brown-clothed stranger at the corner of the table says.
Cade has mostly just been listening to the discussion, but seems to have already grafted himself onto the group. He looks like a one-man expeditionary force, with bundles of rope, tools, and other gear stuffed into his backpack, belt, pouches, and pockets.

Glancing at the pack mule with two legs, Brawar's smile broadens. "Cade is right and if we don't start soon someone else will come along and get the glory."
Brawar finishes his wine and stands putting one hand on the table to steady himself, the other on Lesnir's pommel. "We can take any hobgoblins that come our way, we will fry them, slice them, and... and... hmmm, hey Cade how would you kill a hobgoblin?" Brawar asks perplexed at the walking general store.
"Quickly, that's how. Smashin' or stabbin' works fine, usually," Cade replies. He hefts the mace off from his belt and puts it on the table. "Or both 't'wunce."

The big Gnome speaks up, his russet and orange hair swaying as he emphasizes his speech with animated movement. "Besides, I like the Dwarves, they're fun! Nobody gets my jokes like they do! And I know they'll absolutely love being in debt to a Gnome! Let's light this candle!"
Brawar looks at Fabhal and sighs. "Well at least someone out there gets your jokes, because I know that I do not," he says. Then smiling he adds "Maybe I'm to tall."
An figure looking almost elven appears near the group to chime in.
"The Halls are the dwarves 'natural' home. And that Dwarven Ale does not belong to Hobgoblins... count in my aid, and that of my companions..." with that said, a small creature made itself known.
(Keeping the companion low-key atm, in case WD doesn't like the dino companion)

And I think Brawar would choke on his drink if a dino were to come up to the table. lol
"Welcome then stranger. We would apperciate the help, my name is Brawar, Wizard from the Southlands." he says with a nod to the half-elven lad.
ooc: Keep the dino . I play an (in)famous dinoriding halfling druid in another PBP.
Salthorae's character will be introduced in the hall, to keep things moving.
After packing up your gear and strapping on your weapons, you head into the hills toward the Hall of the Dwarven Lord. From what you know about the hall, it is entirely underground, with only a small tower aboveground to mark its location.
---
You find the tower without much trouble, but it looks like something has partially destroyed it! Charred stone rubble lies scattered about, aand great scorch marks are all over the area.

Fabhal's curious gaze is drawn inexorably to the creature at Veran's side. His hand extends tentatively toward the dino but he hesitates just before making contact . . .
Cade whistles. "Somebody sure hated dwarves. Or rocks. Hope they didn't burn the dwarven booze jes' outta spite," he says. He sets down his heavy pack and takes a careful look around the tower's base and the entrance.
ooc
Take 20 on Perception checks to search for traps with Trapfinding around the entrance, and taking 10 around the rest of the tower's base. So a 30 to search the entrance, a 20 to search the rest of the tower's base.
Just glad to finally be at their destination Brawar finds a rock (nonscorched if possible) to rest on. He looks around the devastation wondering who was doing the damage to the forest, the hobgoblins or the dwarves.
"Best we take extra care if these hobgoblins have casters with them." he says noding towards the scorched ground.
