Session 23: "Same place, same time...." or "A static target is easier to hit than a moving one".

16^th Day of Firemoot, Moonday

They searched the tent and a large quantity of money was found, a pearl, a scroll of Darkness and a ring of protection. The money was shared, the pearl kept in safe keeping for the Bard, Adran claimed the scroll and Ulath won the ring in a game of chance between Uthal, Adran, Hagnulf and Beorwulf.

The group healed as best they could and were discussing what to do next when Bandur screamed out a warning and Fargrim let fly a shot from his longbow as arrows flew across the well from the east side of the ruins. Goblin archers in cover had ambushed the group. Fargrim dropped a Goblin archer with his 1^st shot. Beorwulf headed into some bushes as Bandur charged another archer. 3 Goblins had sneaked around the tower and attacked the group from behind. Adran was dropped after a quick attack by a Goblin, the mule died from a single, mortal blow from a Goblin scimitar. Ulath tried his best, grabbed the Goblin that had killed his mule, swung him around and smashed him into the Goblin that had dropped Adran. The Goblin he had  hold of then tried to get to a dagger but Uthal beat him to it, only to find out it was a ruse as the Goblin stabbed him with a second dagger and Ulath fell to the ground badly injured.

Hagnulf dropped one of the 3 Goblins with a single arrow as Fargrim took down a 2^nd. Bandur sliced through a Goblin archer, nearly cutting him in two with his greataxe. Beorwulf remained in the bushes cursing his luck as Bandur had killed the Goblin he was after. The surviving Goblin archers and the two Goblins remaining of the three that had attacked the group from behind had had enough and ran away.

The group healed up and decided that the Orcs at Wyvern Tor were a target that could not be missed. Tomorrow would be another day.

17^th Day of Firemoot, Towerday

Just another day, a fine arrival for breakfast in the addition of Heimdal, Lionel and the ever present Droop to the group. A quick conference and Uthal led the way, finding the tracks of the goblins with ease. The first hour was speedy going until Uthal lost the trail. He found it after a quick search and never faltered until the group arrived on a rocky outcrop, looking across a valley with a 'y' shaped stream junction directly below them. Across the way it could only be Wyvern Tor it was step, big and looked overwhelming. Hagnulf suddenly let fly an arrow, only he observed the Orc guard slump down dead in the bushes across the valley on one of Wyvern Tor's slopes.
