And the itch.    His arm and back itch.   He guesses it is more of the urn’s ashes that are stuck under the metal plates of his composite body.He hears a scream from a goblin so he figures the interrogation is nearing its end.  As he is about to walk back he believes he saw something at the edge of the bridge.  He looks closer and sure enough- something small is in the brush watching him…. And the others.  He charges across the bridge and takes down the goblin spy before he can free himself of the brush and flee.They now have a discussion of what to do with their knowledge.  Stay and defend the city from a possible attack by goblins and aberrations or seek Drobin’s headquarters.   RAF likes this best.    Before they get too far into the discussion- like where exactly the druid’s hideout is, they hear something coming.Looking, they see three goblins walking down the path towards the bridge.  The group moves to attack and discover there are many more off the trail sneaking in the tall water grass and cotton tails.   Tom and Cy hold back to attack at range as the others charge forward to control the bridge.   The goblins are attacking from all angles and ways as their sheer numbers nearly overwhelm the group.  RAF’s incredibly thick plates of metal make their attacks nearly pointless (DR 4) but they try anyway.Then Cy spots something over the water-  a floating ball with sticks on its head.  Tom clarifies it some- a baby beholder! (Gauth but close enough)   It’s ranged attacks against ranged attacks and melee vs melee.  Even with the Gauth, they take down the fourteen goblins and seize the moment.Persia finds a map on a goblin.  She hands it to Truth whom looks at it.   It looks nearly exactly like his but one of the ruins on the river is circled and in very crude common written- Druid.Now, just maybe, they know where the druid is hiding.</blockquote>
