Brian got a bunch of book binding supplies. Oakwood/Dave was out for the night but the rest of the party bravely fought on!

After arguing how to get to Absalom by various spells or cantrips we finally decided that it was only economic feasible to go to Absalom by  horse and carriage.  This was the only way to get back in time for the election.  We arranged taking a package for delivery in order to get the carriage for free and earning a gold for the delivery.

Dave rolled survival and kept us in style on the way to the city and back.  We took shifts on watch on top of the carriage.  A few hours out at bridge, it collapsed with the carriage halfway over, making it thouroughly stuck.  It was an ambush! A group of hobgoblins tried to get us to hand over our valuables.  Naturally we attacked.  Briscoe threatened them with the power of plants and vermin. They claimed they had already killed a druid so this triggered Briscoe to attack.  For once he actually went first and cast a Stinking Cloud.  They were up on a ridge so the melee actually had to get up to them before we could attack them. They did some very impressive damage but after a fireball and cantrips we started to whittle down.

Once we defeated them we followed the couple of hobgoblin survivors back to an elaborate encampment.  Basically a gigantic beast skull imbedded into the mountain and the encampment inside its mouth. Before the encampment was a grave, we read several tombstones.  They were very endearing.  I think.  Past this were series of bridges that led to a village surrounded by a log barricade. Outside was a small island full of statues.  It was very ominous.  Inside were two flocks of chickens.  After Xeeli stole the key and opened the gate, TerSteegan ran through the swarm of chickens.  There was a goblin War Chanter, Comando and Warrior but at first it was just the chickens.  Chickens everywhere.  The carnage.  Briscoe used a spell to calm one of the chicken flocks but the other saved.

We had mostly taken care of the goblins when the inner door opened and we faced about a dozen goblins.  Surprise! What was even more surprising was when Xeeli found out that inside each flock was a cockatrice. Briscoe killed the Cockatrice and many of the goblins were burned in a fireball from Clarissa. We ended the night with one cocktrice up and several unknown goblins coming out of the building.
