Shadows over Lantern's Hollow

After years of peaceful silence, the tranquility of Lantern's Hollow was shattered by a sudden and vicious raid.
One week ago, under the cover of night, a large, vicious band of hobgoblins descended upon the town, their motives as dark as the shadows that accompany them. They took many townsfolk captive, chaining them and dragging them off into the darkness.
Scouts tracked them to the entrance of the old Stonehell Dungeon. With Stonehell having been a dormant threat for generations, the town is caught unprepared, its people reeling from the attack.
In the aftermath of the raid, Mayor Tobias Redwood posted notices at the town's center and other key locations, including Windrunner Stables, The Silver Shield Armory, and Ironsong Forge. The notice calls for brave adventurers to pursue the hobgoblins, venture into the perilous depths of Stonehell, and rescue the captives before they are lost to the darkness forever.
A substantial reward is offered, not only in gold but also in the gratitude of Lantern's Hollow and the promise of future support from the town and its influential figures.
