The hobgoblin takes another of Anomander's arrow and first slumps then slides out of the saddle.
The rest of the group makes short work of the goblins. The few surviving ones try to flee and plunge into the forest on each side leaving the heroes to chase after them or stay put.
Mythras looked saddened, " Why? We obviously outclassed them....were they more afeared of their master than our blades?"
He looked along the trail to the fallen hobgoblin and began trudging that way, he was in no mood to chase survivors through the wood....

Anomander, Odin, Killiath and Mythras:
"They are creatures of weak will, Mythras. They were no match for us even if one of them managed to score a lucky hit on me." says Killiath as few goblins escape. "They were looking for a staff, I wonder what kind of staff they were searching for. " Killiath will then slowly approach the hobgoblin's horse and carefully remove the saddle. "You are free to go my friend, may you find a better master in the future."
"Maybe the hobgoblin had some paper or drawing of that staff." Killiath will search the saddle's satchel (if any) and the hobgoblin.
After searching the hobgoblin, Killiath will dress his wound.
The hobgoblin has no real personal things. Just a couple of silvers ( 5SP ) and a written note, given by the High Seeker of Solace, to search people for a blue crystal staff. The writ gives the right to the hobgoblin and his forces to search people and houses.
We can now move to the following night and your arrival at Solace.
The tent is plain and inside are bedrolls and under it clearly hidden is a magical staff of light-colored wood with at the head, a blue gemstone wrapped into the wood.
Outside, Zak is gathering the two bodies for burial. Tears are running freely down his cheeks.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Did you know them?" Daethys asks Zak as he looks over the staff for any obvious traps. He also uses his detect magic, which is still active, to see what school of magic is around the staff. If nothing obvious or dangerous is shown, he will pick it up. Is there anything else magical around, that he can spot with his detect magic?
Investigation for traps: 26
Once he is done with looking around for anything magical, Daethys will start looking through the gear in the tent, on the bodies, and around the area, for anything else that might be of value, tell him what happened, or just be of interest. He is a little less than sympathetic to Zak as he works at this.
Investigation for stuff: Unable to parse dice roll.
(advantage as his familiar will give him the help on this.)
Anomander just strides over to the hobgoblin and retrieves his two arrows, looking to his companions he just shrugs "I'll go finish dinner, thankfully it was a stew being made." with that he just goes back to the pot finishing the dish.
He just waits for his companions to join him with the items found on the hobgoblin "Well that may appear to cause some trouble - though he should've announced his authority."
The following night as they arrive in Solace, a rare smile crosses Anomander's face. He truly loved being in the wild, but there was something to be said for a nice comfortable bed and a well cooked meal. He just looks to his companions "So to the tavern?"
Odin smiles at Anomander and nods. "Yes, it is has been too long since we have a nice drink and spiced potatoes." He stops for a moment and thinks about the hobgoblin. "I have no love for the High Seeker, as I'm sure you all don't either. And he came after us first. We acted in self-defense."

Daethys and Zak
"Did you know them? " Daethys says walking into the tent. Kaz's response is lost in the rummaging of the tent. a muffled " No " is clear though.
Nothing else in the tent is magical and it has been ransacked by someone.
Daethys bents down to pick up the staff and a voice screams in his head. " Noooooo" As he touches the wood a bolt of radiant light explodes. ( Dealing 13 ).
Kaz is at Daethys side in a second, fussing over him and pushing the staff aside.
(Insight roll for Daethys please DC 14 )
For Daethys
The voice in your head is human and seems old and powerful. You recall its tone and help during the Test.
As the group arrives at Solace they see a long line of farmers and travelers being searched.
The line moves slowly but you don't really mind because it gives you time to adjust to the changes in the village and the people.
The two guards you see checking the line are Tom and Garry, two youngsters you knew from your past. Next to them is an older man, you don't recognize, with a dog.
It is almost your turn and you hear Tom, a very high and mighty youngster as you recall, as about a bleu staff.
Garry a large hulking dummy but a gentle soul mentions you forward.
OOC: Don 't hesitate to roleplay the NPC and invent things. You can even put other players in the story.
Tom might have a beef with Kaz because he stole something from him the last time he was here . .... This is an example only.
(OOC: to hopefully finish this up and catch up time-wise with the others, I'll have Daethys wrap the staff in something, if doing so will keep him from getting zapped again. He wouldn't trust a magic item of such power with the Kender after all.)
Daethys will wrap the crystal staff in something from the tent, then slip it into his pack if it will fit there, or tied to the side of his pack if not. He will then return to his and Zak's camp, having the Tressym keep watch as he goes to sleep. (Assuming it is still the previous evening/night still for Daethys.)
In the morning Daethys will get up and, making sure the staff is secured in or on his pack, start towards Solace.
(OOC: let me know if there is anything to add or modify with this...)
Anomander looks at the two and chuckles - remembering the boys as they were growing up. He just pulls out two sweets from his pocket and holds them out "You boys sure have grown. Can I offer you a sweet, or are you to old for those now?"
Mythras looked saddened, " Why? We obviously outclassed them....were they more afeared of their master than our blades?"
He looked along the trail to the fallen hobgoblin and began trudging that way, he was in no mood to chase survivors through the wood....
The rocks on the floor are magic but it is subtle and quickly fading. inside the tent is an object of small power.
Magic items are rather rare in Dragonlance
Daethys and Zak...
Daethys uses his free hand to tug the tent away, revealing what is under it without going inside.
Anomander, Odin, Killiath and Mythras:
Odin sighed as the goblins flee. "Maybe we do not need to chase them, but if they try and attack us again in Solace, I'm showing no mercy."

Anomander, Odin, Killiath and Mythras:
Mythras was quiet the rest of the trip to Solace....they had killed an official from the High Seeker, sure he hadn't identified himself but still.
Mythras was uneasy as they entered Solace just nodding to Anomanders suggestion and summoning a half smile...
Anomander, Odin, Killiath and Mythras:
Odin smiles at Anomander and nods. "Yes, it is has been too long since we have a nice drink and spiced potatoes." He stops for a moment and thinks about the hobgoblin. "I have no love for the High Seeker, as I'm sure you all don't either. And he came after us first. We acted in self-defense."

Anomander, Odin, Killiath and Mythras:
"They have attacked us first, Mythras, as Odin just said, we defended ourselves." says Killiath to Mythras as they are travelling.
As the group reaches Solace, Killath smiles "Finally at home! To the tavern then, lead the way Anomander!"

The old man starts moving furniture around and taking his time doing it.
He turns to Darius.
" A little help young man please ."

“What are you trying to accomplish old timer?” Darius will rise to his feet, but make no move to help yet.
