You’ve spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you’ve just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You’ve encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail.

First Event: Little after turning onto the triboar trail, you noticed two dead horses a bit ahead of the party. After investigating the horses, Halgrand found an empty map case. After finding the map case, the party is ambushed by a group of goblins.

After defeating the goblins and capturing one alive, he showed you the path back to his hideout and ended up perishing along the way.

At the end of the goblin's path was a cave with a stream coming out of it. Before entering the Cave, it was discovered that some goblins were on lookout duty on the other side of the stream. Luckily they were lazing around and were finished off quickly. After entering, the first thing that the party encounter was an area that contained wolves chained to a stalagmite. Passing them by, a goblin noticed that there were intruders and open the flood gates washing out most of the party.

After fighting their way back into the hideout, the Party encountered the leader of the goblins, A Bugbear named Klarg, who refers to himself in the third person. After defeating Klarg and his wolf, the party was able to secure the stolen supplies and some extra items for themselves. Leaving no stone unturned, the rest of the hideout was explored and ended up finding Sildar Hallwinter, which a goblin was trying to use as a bargaining piece. After negotiations went south, the party defeated the goblins, and Sildar was stabilized.
