To anyone headin out to the wilds, be on alert fir a group a organized hobgoblins.
 
A couple a the frontiersmen came to town hollerin about organized attacks n requestin help. Sounded pretty bad so Kaecil, Varan, Fabian, Folwin, Arias, Yuki, Ieara and I formed up a party to take care of em. On the way there we heard some noises from the woods an a couple a the party started to look a bit charmed as some dryads came outta the trees. I didn’t think they looked to be harmful but I think Fabian got a little nervous n fired off a shot. Thankfly Arias run out wavin her arms ‘n was able to stop us before things got too outta hand. The dryads proved t’ be friendly once we stopped t’ talk to em and one of em named Shhhheila led us to the cave were the hobgoblin’s was camped out.
 
When we got to the mouth a the cave, Arias was gettin ready to send Peggy to scout when Ieara took off down a tunnel ahead a the group. We all ran after her n wound up in some sorta barracks starin at four angry hobgoblins with their swords drawn. Varan charged and killed one of em and then I watched in shock as Yuki walked up to try an talk to em. We managed to kill two more after Ieara shouted at em with lightnin breath and I shaped into an Ape to rescue Yuki. Couldn let him run into danger like that after nearly losin him just days before. Course Yuki jumped on my back and grabbed the last hobgoblin that was tryin to run away so I bashed in it’s skull with a fist pound.
 
Kaecil ducked around a corner across the hall and run into four more hobgoblins. He killd one of em and I ran over to jump in front of him and help out, gettin surrounded by the other three. Varan also ran up killin one of em. Then Yuki tripped one while Ieara bent down an slit its throat. I dropped Yuki safely off my back and charged at the final hobgoblin, pounding him into the ground with two surprisinly strong fist bashes.
 
We went back to the main hall an heard marchin noises comin from the northern passage. Arias quickly put up an image at the end of the passage to look like a stone wall while the rest of us got into formation. Six more hobgoblins approached an one of em poked the wall, showin it to be an illusion as Kaecil threw a firebolt to incinerate im. The one behind im slumped from one a Fabian’s arrows just before Varan run up to em and swung his sword in an impressive burst a fury that sliced three of em in half. I ran up an crushed the last one just as fourteen more in from another room assaultin’ me till I had to turn back to human form.
 
That’s when Yuki an Ieara run off to investigate the barracks we cleared out earlier. Arias sent Peggy ahead to explore, then moved off to the barracks as well when she couldn’t do anythin’ else to help out. Thankf’ly Kaecil stepped up to the front line an threw one of ‘is famous fireballs at em takin’ down most a the group. I pulled out my staff an the last one’s head flyin just before we heard some thunderous marchin near the entrance to the cave and twenty nine more hobgoblins showed up and their commander halted the formation.
 
Fabian killed one of em with a bow attack but thankf’ly Kaecil was able to throw one more fireball, killin all but five of em. I followed his attack by raisin some spikes out a the ground an tryin to stop em from movin. I was able to kill two more but the last three, includin the leader started to run away. That’s when Folowin and Kaecil stepped in and took out the leader with a barrage of magic missiles. With only two left, I was able to harness a beam of moonlight to sear the skin off one of em but the other escaped into the woods. We checked out the rest of the cave an found the leaders room with a chest holdin an interestin sword that popped out from the hilt and a dwarven skull that really seems to hate anyone wit elven blood.

None a the hobgoblins had a lot a strength to be worried of but it was concernin that they was all so exception’ly organized. Be on the watch an don’t take this threat lightly.
