[QUOTE="jasamcarl, post: 1378526, member: 1251"] The party continues down the trail. After traversing another mile of rough, somewhat rocky soil, a foul oder becomes noticable. Soon enough, the trail opens up into a clearing. The space is almost perfectly circular, with a diameter of about 100 feet; but beyond its dimensions, what is truly astounding is what rests inside the space. At its central point lies a large rectangular block, some 30ft high and 10ft wide, the long side perpendicular to the ground (an obelisk); the thing is composed of dark stone. Ten feet to the east (right) and west (left) of the block lie wooden stakes; on both stakes a goblin is impaled, each of the little creatures still wearing their armor, their mouths open as if in a screem, if wood weren't thrusting out of the gaping maws. At the base of both stakes, arranged in a circular pattern, are the bodies of about a dozen slain humans, blood running inwards towards the stakes from their slashed necks. Standing some 20 feet south of the obelisk (about 30ft north of the party), two more goblins, very much alive, stand, staring at the adventurers from Duvik with scowls on their faces, shortswords in their hands. Towering over and immediatly behind them is a brown bear, growling quietly, its teeth bearing, waiting to strike. At the base of the obelisk, another goblin stands, dressed in hide armor, a sickle in its right hand. It starts yelling in an inordinatly high pitch that indicates that it must be female "It's time!!! Slay the tall ones!! Let the ancients feast on their souls!!!" The goblins begin to advance, the bear following their lead. The goblin to the right stares directly at Norri; the bandage around its waist indicates its most likely the raider that faced the halfing the prior night.
