Goblin Deez Ravines!
General Summary
Arriving at a notice board along Vendoral's highway, Gunjar Stonemason and Barry - now departed from Lars - meet their former colleague Jess Selp'tuck and a newcomer named Monte. Together, they decide to take on a freelance job protecting a celestial researcher trying to make it into the ruins of Mt. Carrabahn.
They soon meet up with Anfell Darra who informs them her target location is near a goblin encampment. The last time she tried to enter, they warded her off and sealed the main entrance by collapsing the ceiling onto it. Now, she takes the party through a mountainous ravine to find a different way in.
Halfway through the ravine, the party encounters two bugbears who try to threaten them away. Gunjar gets the drop on one of them and combat ensues. However, in the cliffs above, goblin archers reign arrows down on the adventurers from their shortbows and, alarmingly, ballistas.
In an attempt to provide healing, Jess casts a spell that calls the godcrux curse upon him and he is instantly driven mad. In his delirium, he uses all the power available to him to defeat his own adventuring companions. They eventually remedy his madness by knocking him out. While Jess is in an unconscious state, Barry feels a supernatural urge to consume him. Attempting to do so stealthily, Gunjar tries to pickpocket some of the lad's gold. Monte manages to restore Jess before his life is lost. Upon discovering how his companions treated him as he neared death, he decided to depart and make his own way.
The three remaining adventurers, along with Anfell, enter Mt. Carrabahn. There, they find a bustling goblin village set within ruins that predate the curse. Monte watches a fabled Sandvein Beetle, his prized cooking ingredient, scurry into the crevases of the cavern. And Barry hears a voice whispering to him from deep within the earth.
