Gervish and Morrand often sprint ahead to see if they are catching up with their quarry. At the end of the afternoon the rogue and the ranger spot two hobgoblins carrying a chest, two goblin archers and a larger hobgoblin leading the pack.After the rest of the group catches up with Gervish and Morrand they decide to confront the hobgoblins. The mule is tied to a tree. The adventurers starts sprinting to catch up with the murderers of the silver mine.'Halt' shouts Corden as they approach the group of hobgoblins. The hobgoblin leader turns around. 'FOOLS, turn back before the wrath of Lord Grumarr falls on you!' He looks at the goblins and shouts 'ATTACK!'.Both goblins miss. The hobgoblins drop the west and take their swords in hand.Round one: The heroes have the initiative. Toraden moves and hurls Scorching Ray at the hobgoblin leader. Two hit for 17 damage. Corden moves and throws his hand axe at the same target and deals 5 damage. Gervish moves and shoot an arrow with his short bow, hits and inflicts 8 damage art the leader. Morrand moves and shoots an arrow at the leader but misses his target. The two guards move and throw their spear at the leader. They both miss.Taken aback by the force of the heroes attack the hobgoblin leader hesitates (morale roll) but regains composer. 'CHARGE!' The three hobgoblins move and attack Corden. Only one hobgoblin hits scoring 7 damage. The goblin archers attack Gervish and Toraden with arrows. Gervish is hit with 6 damage. Toraden is hit with 5 damage.Round two: Toraden sends 3 magic missiles at a goblin archer killing it. he then moves to have a line of sight to the other goblin archer. Gervish kills the hobgoblin leader with a sneak attack. One guard injures a hobgoblin. Corden and Morrand miss their attacks. The goblin archer shoots an arrow in the back of Gervish, hits (20!) scoring only 4 damage. One hobgoblin misses Morrand. The other misses Corden.Round three: Toraden shoots a magic missile at the last goblin archer killing him were he stands. Morrand and Corden hit the same hobgoblin. The hobgoblin falls to the ground dead. The two guards attack the last hobgoblin and miss. Gervish sneak attack the hobgoblin and misses.Round four: Corden shouts 'Surrender'. The hobgoblin says 'You achieve nothing today. Our Lord Grumarr has been warned about you!' he raises his sword to attack. Corden is faster, hits and inflicts 7, uses his action surge, hits again, inflicting another 11 damage. The hobgoblin falls to his knees then falls face down on the ground.After a short rest Gervish opens the lock chest. Inside they find rocks of unrefined silver (1000 silver).<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ozZlMq2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/tnRHOxU.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/glpMOmN.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />______________________________EpilogueThe return trip to the village of Obandek is uneventful. A funeral is held for the victims of the goblins. The Lord of Dagenholt has sent four soldiers and a captain to investigate and protect the villagers. The villager smith manages to melt the silver from the rocks. The heroes decide to donate the silver to the village. The gold ring (150gp) promised by the mayor is a sour recompense but they take it anyway.Later that night at the Mira's Brew Toraden says: 'I'm intrigued by the skeletons we destroyed in the forest. They don't walk around by themselves. A necromancer must be behind this."Gervish is now level 3.Thus ends the Silver Mines of the Oakwoods. Hope you enjoyed it!</blockquote>
