Thorin son of Thror, another adventurer leading a second party of commoners was engaging in combat against a force of 20 goblins led by hobgoblin as well, at the same time of the first wave, this force attacked the south western side of the village, they were overwhelmed and Thorin fled into the village. The goblin force torched the Town Master's Hall with the town master still inside while chasing Thorin. Abrams Panzer, the third adventurer of the party, helped Thorin and together they defeated the wave, although all of Thorin's party died as well.
Second wave: Abrams, Thorin, and Eldes leading a party of commoners stood strong on the northern part of town, laughing at the face of death approaching them.
