Rundown of the Adventure

Following Raining on the Parade, the daughter of the blacksmith, Melanie Faymann is no longer in town, and the smith Thornik Blackpass needs someone to check the forest camp where the young-uns where celebrating. He himself will come along, but Mysria Wildblade insists he directs a fire fighting effort as he has experience with that, he won't unless the party insists.
These young-uns have retreated to an old forest mine, which is places on a clearing in the shadow of a 15ft. cliff. Here the remains of a fire mark the party earlier. Which was disturbed when a group of goblins barged trough. Which attempted to celebrate the people celebrating, some took initiative into their drunken hands and drew swords but where outnumbered. The rest not risking a fight made a run into the mine. Those who didn't where captured, now a small group of goblins are guarding the mine, while another group searches for the people.
