To the Mine!

That's it, today's the day. My friends and I are finally ready to set out for adventure! After saving my wages for quite awhile I was able to afford the gear to rediscover my roots.
We all met outside of town this morning to decide where we wanted to go first. The options that the others found were quite enticing. We could either head to a cave that had an artifact, bandits, and a ghost, A cave that was an old mining site that was rumored to have a beast and some ghosts, or follow up on a boat that had been floated down the river with sailors escaping the Hollows. A decrepit village in the mountains that many fled to from the Bloodmist. Supposed to be built on top of death and blood with a crypt under the area dedicated to fallen dwarven warriors.
I'd love to go to the hollows, but it was quite a ways away for a fist adventure. So we decided on the cave with the artifact. Einia led the with Hemdan on lookout as we trekked out.
About half a day later Hemdan spotted a bloody bag in the center of the road. GanderMan wen all sneaky sneaky to try to see what was ahead as Hemdan also get ready with a crossbow bolt. There was at least one goblin looking like he was getting ready to fight so Hemdan shot at it. He missed and the goblin blew into a horn to alert the others. Hemdan, GanderMan, and Hal all went off their own way to go fight a group while Einia and I dealt with a few on the other side. One of the goblins were foolish enough to be standing on top of a cliff. I used the might of Huge and a song of stone to wither the stone and send him crashing down to me. He mannaged to hop back up only to be met with my blade running him through and managed to knock him down for the time. One of the sneaky bastards tried to shoot me with an arrow but my armor managed to bounce the shot. I heard more commotion up the cliff so I crawled up the now sandy bank to help out Einia. I was greeted with her standing over another downed goblin. The one who shot me was making his way over to try after her, but I was able to intercept it and run yet another goblin with my shortsword. HUGE SMILES UPPON ME THIS DAY! Einia tried to get the one she fought to talk, but after taking insults tore his throat out instead. Can't blame her he was saying they got one of her kin in their last ambush.
At this point the others dealt with their assailants with Hemdan managing to lop one'd head clean off. Hal seemed to take the brunt of one though so I rushed over to try and apply some first aid. The goblin managed to puncture his lung. Not the first I've seen of this, so I quickly patched him up and shoved a rod into his lung so that he wouldn't drown. He'd hurt, but he'd live. Right after Einia called out for more medical help. I rushed over to see one of her kin in rough shape after being ambushed by the goblins. I assisted Ganderman with applying some bandages. With everyone alive we took what we were owed for this fight and headed about two more hours back to town. I managed to get a horn outta this so I was fairly happy, but with the wounds some of the others had we'd want to turn back for the time being. We are on no rush, no sense risking more injury.
After heading back a bit we set up a little campsite to sleep for the night. I'm really happy that I grabbed that large tent. Makes it much more cozy for everyone. Since we were having Einia lead us, Hemdan watching our backs, and the others injured I decided to keep watch for the night. It also gave me an opportunity to try and re-stuff my bag. I tried a few different times, but just ended up with a headache. After the others got moving again, I caught a bit of a nap. I had a weird dream about a rat named Skrelendar trying to teach me to pack my bag, and when I awoke the headache just got worse. I hope the others don't push too hard on the return with all the stuff I'm carrying. I'm also pretty out of it and quite crabby today.
