Arriving in Hillsboro

General Summary

You find yourself passing through Hillsboro, a small village in the Korlon Hills. The local Inn, Lucky Landon's is central to the village. The village seems to be experiencing a growth spurt, the southern hill sports a newly constructed tower, while around the tower are berms and signs of a larger castle construction.
Just north of the inn sits a village hall, which is also newly constructed. As you enter the yard, a large commotion springs up just beyond the inn. A person you assume is the innkeeper runs out and begins sounding an alarm bell. Goblins are attacking the new village hall, trying to set it aflame.
While the villagers run to the guard tower and Landon begins organizing a bucket brigade, you and other arrivals head around the inn and confront the goblins.
After defeating the hobgoblins, you enjoy the fruits of your labor, you're treated to free food, drink, and rooms at Lucky Landon's and villagers toast you all night long.
The next morning, a bit bleary-eyed, you are visited by the Mayor of Hillsboro, Maleon Valbard, and the Sheriff of the Korlon Hills, Reynulf Ithobar. They apparently revived a goblin for questioning and determined that this might be part of a larger plot. They learned that another group of goblins was paid to head to Brannagan's Ferry and burn that down as well. They ask if they can impose on you again to proceed with all haste to the ferry and take stock of the situation.
Arriving at the ferry, you come across a strange situation. There are a little over a dozen goblins, led by a hobgoblin, who are outside the ferryman's home, while hold up inside is another group of goblins. They are screaming at each other in goblin, obviously exchanging insults by the tone of voice.
Thinking about it, Abebane Morrel and Brannon decide that the only thing that makes sense is that the goblins inside are the ones who want to torch the place, but a rival clan intercepted them and trapped them with the ferryman's family inside the house.
Once a group of goblins reached the stables, another hidden group charged out and started fighting, soon goblins were popping out of all the outbuildings as the party watched an all-out goblin gang war. Gauging when it was best to intervene, they waited till a majority of the goblins were downed and started taking the rest out. A well-placed sleep spell from Elyot took out a large block of the defending goblins, leaving the rest of the party to wipe out the remains.
