After Action Report; Blacktooth Session 2

Our little band of adventurers arrived in Malforten on their 5th day of travel. They made their way to The Empty Flagon, the only tavern in town. While awaiting the arrival of Eryl Hoskin, they had an opportunity to chat up some locals as well as some fellow bounty hunters. One local that was especially keen to join the group was Camlin, a human wizard. He lived in Malforten with his Aunt Blodwyn,who is also a wizard. She gave him permission to go and gave him some presents that might help him in his adventures. Another person looking to join our growing party was Phlox, a human knight. Where he came from or what his motives were are still unknown. Finally, a gnome rogue, Szigfel, was allowed to accompany the adventurers. Eryl Hoskin arrived to answer the party's questions and to provide what information he had. The gnoll was probably hiding somewhere up north in the Fallow Hills on the other side of the Drunderry River, which runs west of the town. Once the party brought back Gritznak's head, he would give them a ring that the group could take back to Gowan Fyr for payment of the bounty. Satisfied with the information, the party set out to find someone who could ferry them across the river. They met Kiint the leper, but decided that he wasn't the man to help them. They turned to Nefydd Goff instead. A loner and a fisherman, he finally agrees to ferry the party for 10gp. Once the party have crossed the river they happen upon the old Imperial Road running North-South. They follow it for a few days. Other than the sound of wolves in the distance, the travel is fairly uneventful. Eventually, the group come upon a pedastal of a large, horned beast pointing to the west. There has obviously been a lot of traffic at this crossroads. The party follow the path west and come to the ruins of a temple. The adventurers enter the temple and immediately find a large statue of a horned beast. Goblins spring out from around the corner and the first fight ensues. The party quickly kill three of the four goblins in the room, though one escapes down the east corridor....
