Sir Jonathan

Sir Jonathan takes a couple of steps forward before speaking. "Sorry to disturb you Sir, my name is Sir Jonathan and these are my friends and companions," he begins as he does his standard introduction of the party. "Soranna sent us to find you. Hobgoblins are threatening the town and the trade roads that lead into it We are trying to eliminate the threat. We believe they are holed up in Vraath Keep here in the forest. We were told you are an expert on this area, and could help us out. Do you have any information you could offer us?"

Oh yeah...forgot about the map. Diplomacy +8.

Kirrg looks back to his companions, and nods his head, turning to face the man named Jorr. "I am sorry to bother you, kind sir, but we four have been commissioned to rid this forest of the unnatural goblins that have recently inhabited it. We were told you have important information you could provide us to meet this end."

"Goblins! I can't stand 'em! Wood's rotten with 'em right now. They usually live up yonder in Wyrmsmokes, but seems like they got a big war party in the forest. Maybe they come down the Old Forest Road, or they might came by Old Skull Gorge. My money is on the Skull Gorge...Vraath Keep ya say? Wouldn't surprise me if some of them goblins are holed up there. Just the sot of thing damn goblins would do."

Sir Jonathan

Sir Jonathan shifts from foot to foot, still slightly uncomfortable in the new heavier armor. "Where have you seen some goblins recently? Have you noticed any patterns in their movements? Also, it is good to see you alive, we feared the worst."

"Big war party? Has this ever happened in the past? Any idea what they are seeking?" Virashil looks concerned.

"How far are we from Vraath Keep?"

"You must be quite the capable woodsman and warrior to survive out here, and to not have these vermin overrunning your land. We would be honored if you showed us the way and provided us any valuable information you have to allow us to rid your forest of this filth."

The leathery man scratched his beard a bit. "I seen worg riders and troublemakesrs all over, especially along the Dawn Way."

"How far are we from Vraath Keep?"

"Never done seen so many at once...But sure they slink down from thier caves every'n so often." He spits on the ground before continuing. "Bout Six miles t'the ruins as the bird flies. Maybe eight or so by road." He looks you all over. "Takeya about four five hours to get there."

"All righty, I'm yer man! I want 5 gold a day, or 10 if'n ya got a mind to be doin' somethin' dangerous."

"Well, the real question is -- it is now well past midday -- do we press on to the keep this evening, to assault the keep under the cover of darkness, or do we spend the night here and leave in the morning?"

"I know some humans can be afraid of the dark," She says teasingly as she looks at Sir Jonathan.

"We rest. They have an advantage in the dark that we do not have. We wait until the sun is high overhead and then strike when they rest," Kirrg states frowning. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other, "As much as I am want to meet these foes face to face in battle, we do not have the numbers to do that."
