Neraw takes another step, slow but with caution -you can't be hasty against goblins- and makes his blade descend onto the pitiful creature's shoulder.

Round the First & Last:
Neraw slashes down at the goblin in front of him, the blade sinking deep into it's shoulder and practically severing it's arm. It collapses with barely a word and drops it's mace as is desperatly and futiley attempts to staunch the flow of blood from it's ruined shoulder.
Korik sees that the 3rd goblin is the only one left standing and sidesteps around where Grim is still savaging the downed and trashing goblin, in order to finish the fight quickly and cleanly. This he does, his hammer catching it square on the side of the head.
The only sound is of Grim burying his muzzle into his goblins throat and snarling with an odd sense of satisfaction, the battle has taken so little time that you have barely had time to feel exerted. The only sound is the rustle of leaves in the trees and the only thing out of place is the column of smoke in the distance, which even now is getting visibly thicker - and not just because you are closer.

Noticing the growing column of smoke, Korik gives a quick glance to Neraw and starts off towards it without a word, probably not realizing his quickening pace.

Neraw stops for a moment, cleans his blade on the goblinoids' clothing, and asks temptatively "Korik... Could that be a forest fire?", then he starts walking onwards... altough he can't keep up with the half-orc.

The column is not consistent with it being a Forest Fire, and in any case even Neraw will know that this is the wrong season for a fire (everything is far too green and damp). Korik will know that this isn't the sort of wood that has serious fires anyway, it's temperate and deciduos rather than maquis, scrub or pine.
It is almost certainly a delibartly set fire, and even if it started accidentally it is probably being stoked and fed to keep it going, or is burning a supply of pre-prepared fuel that was ready and stacked. It does however, look way too large to be a charcoal burners fire, and they don't come this far anyway.
The fire was about half a mile away from where you slaughtered the goblins, so about half an hours walk / an quarter of an hour's hustle for Neraw; 20 minutes walk / ten minutes hustle for Korik. Given that there are probably goblins and traps ahead, for you both to hustle is asking for trouble, though having Korik walk and Neraw hustle to keep up as necessary would be fairly safe

Keeping a steady but cautious pace, Korik continues on the path in the direction of the smoke. He is still watching the ground and the surrounding area for any signs of goblins or their workings.

Neraw will do likewise, following Korik's step, for the moment with the shield strapped to his back not to tire hiself unnecessarily.

The intrepid duo make their way along the path, as yet there is no sign of any goblins. There's a few more traps to be negotiated, a sprung deadfall here, a pit there and a few scattered poison darts sticking out of a trunk there.
At about a quarter mile you can start to hear the crack of flames, but that is it.
When you get within a few hundred yards of the fire, which you reckon is in a small clearing off the side of the trail ahead a, a crossbow bolt suddenly zips out the way out of the undergrowth about 70 feet ahead of you and nicks it's way past Koriks ear. If it had poison on it it's probably not carried it into the wound, but it's caused an unpleasent bleeding wound in Korik's scalp just above his right ear.
A shrill cry of glee goes out from the undergrowth and a small, wiry looking goblin clad only in animal hides bursts out and runs off down the path in front of you.

"Hey Korik! I want to know what's this about!" hoping to at least question the goblin before Korik delivers him to a mud-filled pit in the Abyss.
Then he hurries at Korik's side.
