[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7542091, member: 20323"] The PCs just met the Missing NPC while exploring and he's accompanied them to another site, approximately 50 miles north east of the Medusa's Hanging Garden. It's not actually the Missing NPC, but a very convincing doppelganger. Xandala uses [I]teleportation circle[/I] to reach the Medusa's Hanging Gardens, knowing that the PCs' last known position was 50 miles north east. She knows the PCs will eventually be heading in this direction, as their objective lies much further to the south. She needs to confirm the Missing NPC's identity. As far as she knows, the PCs still believe that she is the Missing NPC's daughter (in truth, the party has split opinions). She has a [B]pseudodragon familiar[/B] she can use to scout short distances, but normally doesn't let the pseudodragon too far out of her sight (both to keep him safe & because his good nature sometimes has him muck up her plans). The [B]goblin hunting party [/B]have been pursuing the PCs for roughly 80 miles south along a river, but after a resounding defeat during which their rafts were wrecked, the goblins have lagged behind the PCs. The goblins found evidence of the carnage left in the PCs' wake. They're able to catch up to the PCs because the PCs are doing a side quest that takes a couple days. However, the goblins were outclassed by the PCs in their last encounter in which the goblins tried to abduct the exiled goblin PC. The goblin shaman leading them knows they'll need help if they hope to overcome the mighty PCs. They make allies of convenience for Xandala – she has no problem letting the goblins die if she gets what she wants, but she also knows the cowardly goblins won't attack unless they have her support.
