Session 5: The Road to Silverhaven
General Summary
Setting out from Plumcrest with the goal of Halflight City to follow up on intel about the possible whereabouts of Aerilith, the party embarked upon the road after being hired on as caravan guards to a cabbage merchant named Norric who was bound to sell his crop in Silverhaven.
The first challenge that arose along the road was at the fork where the road splits between the path to Hire and that to Silverhaven a lone half-giant stood scratching his head at the sign. Seeing through the ruse of the multitude of ambushing goblins waiting in the roadside bushes, Ray snuck forward and convinced the goblins that she was also a goblin by using her kitsune magic. From her new vantage point, she used her magic to enchant the half-giant into attacking the waiting goblins, watching as he turned one into a bloody pulp. The goblins retaliated against the half-giant as the half-giant still enchanted by Ray kept swinging his large femur club around. This went back and forth until all the goblins were routed or dead and the half-giant was on his last legs. A swift final intervention from the remaining party members left the scene secured and ambushers defeated. From there, the caravan continued onwards down the road safe from the threat.
The next day, the caravan encountered two halfling peasants begging on the roadside. The party gave them more cabbage than they could carry and the two ran off with smiles as wide as Ray's magic commanded. Besides that enounter, the remaining journey to Dolvi was uneventful.
In Dolvi the party rested in the local inn as well as inquired a bit more on any information they could dig up on Aerilith and learned more about the old heroes adventures but not many concrete leads for the present day.
An hour outside of Dolvi, at the bridge crossing the party encountered a detachment of hobgoblins who demanded a toll to cross uninpeded. Sona, hearing the toll and considering the hobgoblins bandits striked forward initiating a brawl.
