GAME COMPLETED (finally)
Contracted by the Commander of forces at Tillich, the PC's ventured forth into the forest east of Tillich. Turning north at the river they were ambushed by an animated plant. The vines and trees surrounding this plant/creature came to life and held fast its potential victims. Otik and Janaxil were able to finish off the plant. They were able to find a compost pile of rotting corpses that the plant appeared to feed upon. Some coins, a vial of liquid and a quality (MW) dagger were found there.
Further north, a camp of goblins was discovered. After watching for a brief period of time they ambushed the few goblins seen. This turned into a potential disaster as at least a dozen goblins poured forth from the tents of the camp after the alarm was raised. Katernin and Janaxil were wounded, but 9 goblins were killed and a half dozen routed.
Investigating the camp turned up some interesting clues. The goblins were following some detailed instructions from a female Sauran to brew up some flammable liquid. This was seen to be VERY potent stuff during the fight. In addition, two other goblins that were delirious from wounds were found in a tent. They are seen to have what appear to be claw wounds from a bear with further inspection.
The camp is broken down and all valuables taken. The remaining cauldrons of the flammable stuff are overturned over a firepit with expected results. The PC's then take the goblin's four canoes and travel downstream and back to Tillich with 9 bounties and 2 captives. They also have a rough piece of leather with the instructions for making the flammable stuff.
