It has been a couple of days and a near-death experience since I last wrote.After our stay in the library we set off towards the mansion with the aim of taking down Hu'Jat, the goblin leader. I would have preferred to open up diplomatic relations with him but my companions assured me that it's the only way to retrieve the slaying stone. Outside we were shocked to see a change in the town. There were countless goblin bodies everywhere while groups of other goblins were running around; we suspect they were looking for us. To be honest I was terrified but something urged me on.We sneaked towards the back of the mansion, passing a burnt out dragon's den on the way. We successfully infiltrated the place but one of the goblins managed alert the others and then it looks so bleak for us; a flood of goblins were in front of us, all the wolves in the world were behind. Hu-Jat then appeared on top of his huge rage drake. Nerves must have got the better of me as I struggled to hit anyone and I made so many mistakes, but we finally managed to take Hu-Jat and his drake down!To our delight, the dragon returned to finish off the remaining goblins and kobolds. He was also delighted with our good work, so much so that he traded the slaying stone to me for our promise to destroy it. After parting with the dragon and healing we headed back towards Treona's tower.On the way we were ambushed by the Severed-Eye Orcs; such ugly things though they must have inner beauty under all of that horror, right Mum? Unfortunately, their strength seemed way beyond ours, out of desperation I passed the slaying stone to Nebrendil who used it on the leader. He died. Instantly. It was a horrible sight to behold, though the stone was destroyed. During the fight with the remaining Orcs I collapsed, as did Resolute. The next thing I remember, Rogar is emptying a healing potion into me.After the fight we found a ripped piece of paper on the leader. It had one word; 'Dreus'. From one of the survivors we found out Dreus met with the Orcs 3 days ago, close to Fallcrest. We'd heard this name before; from the records in the library's basement.We camped there for the night without incident then, in the morning, went on the long trek back to Treona's TowerWe got to the tower and told her everything including the encounter with the Severed-Eye Orcs. She expressed anguish when hearing about Kiris' were-rat problem (perhaps there is something going on there? I miss our gossiping). Treona was unable to cure Kiris but mentions that the churches in Fallcrest may be helpful. She also informed us that Dreus was a conjurer that enjoyed some elementalism and even a little necromancy. He was reporting directly to Kiris' father; crafting evil items and left the town on the first day of the shadow. If he is alive then he may be continuing the dark arts, so Treona has asked us to find Dreus.In the morning we will head towards Fallcrest and try to find Dreus. Also, we need to find a way of curing Kiris Hoyt.P.S. Jebediah collected a couple of stirge eggs during our encounter with them. They have just hatched.... I'm really not sure how I feel about that.Jack</blockquote>
