Edmond eyes the sun trying to guage how long 'til Sundown, while helping clear the road.
I want to make camp away from here, if we can, Mr Greenspan, especially if there is a goblin nest close by. Also, could we break camp and resume our journey during the mid-watch? They may not expect that.
I agree with, you Misty, these goblins need sorting out after we deliver Mr Greenspan and his cargo to the City.
("I think we better check this out, just for a bit." Misty suggests, glancing to the others. "I don't like the idea of knowingly letting goblins continue to use this as an ambush site." She glances to Greg. "I fully plan on helping with the task we were hired for, but would you take it amiss if we look into this just a bit, to try to keep this band from doing this to others?")
Greg (to the party) "Well if you adventurers want to go hunt them down, i do not mind. just try not to take too long. I'll wait here with my wagon and oxen while you all check it out."
(ooc: Lay on Hands = 5hp per Paladin Level, so I give 5 hp to Boo :) )
(OOC: boo's at full health, are you sure you wish to target boo?)
Hansel is going to investigate the horses corpses - Investigation - 15
(OOC: at this point the whole party knows what Misty found in her investigation unless she wants to keep the info to herself) [check post #117 on page 6 of this thread for that specific info])

Greg: (to Edmund) "Stop for camp? i think it would be best if we leave this area if you adventurers are not going to hunt down the goblins or further investigate the area. And its Greenspear."
(OOC: @ everyone, what is the party going to do? Hunt the goblins down? Just investigate the area? Continue onto the city? Make camp? or some other option the party can think of?)

Looking for a new game, if you need a player private message me.
(OOC: I'm sorry all, but I have to back out of this campaign. I'm spending too much time on here and I'm cutting out all but 2 campaigns and I've played LMOP before.)
Take care, old friend. Come back when you can..., With mixed feelings Edmond resumes tidying up the site of the skirmish, taking care to not get in the way of the searchers. A certain satisfaction from having run off the goblins, despite being surprised at odds of 2 against 1, sadness to see Sikek depart, and a dash of wonder to see Finnian looking much improved.
Finnian breathes a sigh of relief as Edmond's healing magic seals his wounds once more. "Much obliged, Edmond," he says with a grin as he stretches his side experimentally. Turning towards Sikek, he does his best to keep a smile on his face as he says, "Safe travels." Looking around at the area Finnian adds, "My two coppers say that we should only take a quick poke around. We have a job to do, but if we find something someone else may be able to follow up on it when we get to town."
(OOC: clarification, misty found a dirt trail past the trees and bushes the goblins were hiding in, the dirt trail is also the direction the goblins were fleeing in. the party's investigation found that the goblins have been using this area as an ambush site for quite some time.)
(OOC: Greg was fine with the party investigating or pursuing the goblins, but did not want to wait in this spot for very long)
(OOC: if i got things right, Edmund wants to look around, Finnian wants to take a short look around before moving on, misty and hansel want to move on.)

Misty is ok with moving on but would rather have followed after the goblins and dealt with them, not wishing to let them prey on more travelers. She was talked out of this by the group, who reminded her that we should take care of our current business before getting involved into other things.
As you're clearing the horses, you see a man coming down the road towards you. He's about 6' tall, short cut dark brown hair and tanned weather beaten skin, as he gets closer you see a patch of small scars lining the left side of his face and notice that he's carrying a shortbow and watching the bushes on the side of the road intently. When he sees the group, he'll stop and raise his bow, undrawn, above his head to show he's not attacking and call out, "Did you lot happen to come across any goblins?" Seeing the dead goblins on the road, "Oh, I guess you did, can't be all of them though, did you happen to track them to their lair and finish them off?"
Misty glances towards the newcomer. "What do you know about these goblins?" She calls as she makes sure her companions are all aware of the newcomer. "We were ambushed by some and we did find a trail they left that leads off from here, but had not decided if we should follow after them or not..." She is a human woman, on the shorter side (5 ft 2 inches) and wearing leather armor. She has dark chestnut hair and a short sword at one hip, her crossbow once again at her other side. Azure eyes take in the newcomer for a long moment as she waits for him to respond.
"They've been attacking travelers in this area, ambushing caravans and the like. I'm trying to track down their lair at the very least, but I'd welcome the help if you lot wanted to come help wipe them out? I'd give you an even cut of anything we find."
Edmond considers - the new information from the ranger standing with them, the sage advice of his sergeant about sticking to the plan come what may is a good idea some of the time, and ...Mr Greenspear, will the oxen and wagon be all right while we look for the goblins?
Greg Greenspear: (to the party and Rilvar) "I hope we'll be ok, i certainly am not leaving the wagon and my oxen behind. just try not to take too long." Greg turns to the newcomer. "I didn't catch your name stranger, after you are all done dealing the goblins, if you help these group of adventurers in escorting me to the capital, i'll pay you as well."
(OOC: since the remaining characters haven't said any more i'm going to push the story forward with the party going on the dirt trail going after the goblins. feel free to correct me if im wrong.)

Sikek will respond to Misty's concerns with. "Not. Job." And begins unceremoniously removing corpses from the road until the cart can get through.
