The Edgy BLT: Phandalin Part 2

After surviving the goblin ambush, the party takes a moment to heal themselves and investigate the bodies of the horses and goblins. The neither goblins nor horses have anything of interest on them, but Torment and Brose do notice a bloody trail in the tall grass leading into the woods.

Laserie is indignant and doesn’t want to investigate further. Pointing out they are only being paid for delivering the supply wagon. After discussing it further, Torment and Brose point out that if their employer was kidnapped then there wouldn’t be anyone to pay them.

Following the trail, the party finds themselves by a shallow river flowing from the entrance to a large cave. Torment, conveniently knowing how to speak goblin, talks to a pair of guards and convinces them they are new recruits. The goblins allow them to pass, but again Laserie refuses to adventure further. Torment sighs and grabs the elf in a fireman carry. He got a nat 20 on his strength check and Laserie critically failed hers.

Once inside the cave, the party has a new problem. Brose can’t see in the dark. The party agrees using a light to give themselves away would be a bad idea, so Brose ends up riding on Torment’s other shoulder. The cave is fairly straightforward. They look down a side entrance and find a pack of chained wolves and figure they can be left alone. Further down, they encounter a goblin watch out. Again Torment convinces him they are new recruits. The goblin watch out directs them to the goblin boss down a side passage.


The goblin was telling the truth and the party finds themselves in a breakroom for the goblins. Inside is Harriette Redskirt, beaten and barely conscious. The goblins use her as a hostage, but Torment tries to talk them down. He fails to convince them and Harriette gets kicked off a small cliff. The group attacks in retaliation.
