I had stopped to spend a day in the town of Ageling before traveling toward the southern coast. It was a good stop to re-supply and maybe do some odd jobs. I was just looking for somewhere I would fit in, these smaller towns are already a much better fit than my home town of Penrithwark. I stopped in the tavern and met some rather interesting people, I bought everyone something to drink and we settled in to have a meal.
Suddenly a man bursts through the door looking desperate. He tells our table that his name is Noah Smith, that he is the town blacksmith and that he needs help because his daughter has been kidnapped. We immediately all stood up and said we would help him, I would have gone alone if they didn't want to help. A lost child is a terrible thing. Them agreeing to help made me immediately begin to trust my new companions, if only a little.
The child's name is Evelyn, she is 12 years old and was last seen in a red dress being carried away by small green creatures. We searched the woods behind the blacksmith's home and found a clearing with a small set of ruins. Three goblins were standing guard outside, but we lured them away and ran down the stairs into the ruin. Inside we fought several goblins and took one captive. We got to the final room of the ruin and fought some kind of necromancer goblin. I talked to Evelyn while the others solved a puzzle and opened a secret room. Upon trying to leave we are met with an ambush of several goblins, despite us meeting them carrying the head of their leader, they did not back away. We fought them off and returned Evelyn to her father.
Flotsam carried off our captive goblin. At the time I didn't know what he did with him, just that he returned to the tavern without him.
