Second Session


 * Picked up in the farmhouse the party had just saved from rampaging goblins. They were suddenly joined by Raul of the Crown's Guard, who had brought with him a new convict fresh from a minor adventure: the half-elven sorcerer Ishaq Duvainor
 * After their introductions, the party resumed tracking the goblins believed to have taken the boy Alice swore to rescue. The tracks indicated the goblins had split, with one group headed to attack Wizard's Pit and the other heading into the countryside, apparently with 'something heavy' in tow.
 * Talith, Tismora, and Corym split off from the main party to warn Wizard's Pit of the incoming attack and aid in the defense. The rest of the party continued tracking the lead on the abducted boy.
 * Finding another raiding group of goblins, Max proposed using bardic illusions to set an ambush for them in the high wheat fields.
 * The ambush went well at first, before Max was overwhelmed and knocked out after attempting to intimidate the goblins by flinging the dead body of one of their comrades at them. Quick healing saved him though, and the remaining goblins were slain by the party except for one who attempted to flee, carrying the captive boy.
 * Markoris pursued and wrestled the goblin down, saving the boy. Interrogation of the goblin revealed that they were suffering from a strange disease that drove them into senseless aggression, and that the boy was intended to be a sacrifice that would somehow cure the goblins of this affliction. This sacrifice was to be overseen by an individual called 'Big Bomma.'
 * With their first mission a success, the party returned to Wizard's Pit and Alice delivered the boy back into the arms of his grateful and overjoyed mother. They learned that the town had easily beaten off an attack in the meantime- once again, the goblins had all fought to the death.
