Rescue Ricky Guntsman - posted by Luna Guntsman - Grandad and Kobble go to interview the client. On the way to the inn, Grandad and Kobble are intercepted by Sarah. She sighs and glances over to Grandad multiple times before he asks her what it is. She asks about getting a new piercing. Grandad suggests one on her chin, and she runs off to ask her husband about it. At the inn, Grandad and Kobble find Luna. She is a halfling woman wearing red robes. She gives them the information they requested about Ricky and when he was last in town (a week ago). She mentions another adventurer went out to look for him too; an elven man wearing an Ahovz symbol. He hasn't returned. On the way to the church, Cecil and Thia are stopped by Mayor Willow's call. She waves Cecil over to the Town Hall and asks him to deliver a paper to Marcus. Cecil takes the document to the Sherrif's office and drops it off with Marcus. At the church, Cecil speaks with the Reverend about Toffy, trying to find her. Thia notices a woman sitting in the back, who appears to be the contact. They speak with her about her stolen goods (seeds and grain) and lets them know she was jumped about 2 hours into the mountain range, before the first well. Leaving the inn, Kobble is offered a cigar by Clark Sr. He declines. Leaving the church, Thia is pulled away by Zayne to look at a puddle. They promptly jump into it. The group reconvines in the town square. Kobble goes to buy some supplies at the general store, and then they all grab some potions at Ellion's. Cecil drinks his potion immediatly. Immune to the condition fear for 4 days. Grandad drinks his potion immediatly. No longer has a scent. Kobble drinks his potion immediatly. HP raised permanantly by 5 points. As the group travels into the mountain range, they chat amongst themselves. Thia inquires if Kobble bakes; he discusses sourdough bread and a kobold delicacy (berries, salt, and mint) and Thia asks him to make her some someday. Thia asks Grandad about how long he'd been in town. He says about 2 years; he arrived unexpectedly, and he won't leave till he has answers to his questions. The party walks for a few hours and makes it to the first well station. Kobble tries to help the workers at the well and the foreman yells at him to knock it off. The foreman is not helpful to Kobble afterwards. Grandad tries to talk to the foreman and learns that the man has seen Ricky before, but it had been about a week since he'd come through. The foreman also talks about the goblins that have been attacking his crew for the past few weeks in the morning. He points them in the direction of where he assumes the camp is. Back from where they came (West) and a bit North up some ledges. The group climbs up the ledges and finds a destroyed cart. Traveling further into the mountain range, they hear the crackling of fire. Kobble sneaks a peek and sees 4 goblins roasting a mountain lion. Cecil hits his spear against his shield in an effort to intimidate the goblins - which alerts them to the parties presence (ensue chaos). Fight Highlights:
