The party inquisitively followed Rolen as he peeked out what used to be the front door of the old watchtower. Goblins! Rolen could see a pair of hobgoblin archers in the distance flanked by a small hoard of lesser goblins. The party rushed out to vanquish the goblins. As soon as most of the party was out of the tower, they quickly realized that the goblins were a bit more organized than usual. That was when Thia noticed a goblin underboss sidle up to the archers and draw a sword - she knew the battle would be a fight.

| The underboss |
Pierce seemed to light up with a new found energy and charged from the back of the group and took a large swing at the underboss, who deftly side-stepped the attack and called his archers away from the large cleaving machine. The party continued on, letting loose bolts and arrows, thrusting sword through goblin flesh.
Just as the tide of battle seemed to turn in favor of the adventurers, from the other side of the tower, a smaller group of three goblins appeared, flanking Rolen. Several hits were dealt to Rolen before he could take cover inside the tower. Once inside, the goblins had him cornered, forcing Rolen to deftly battle his way out, crowding his main exit with their corpses.
Thia kept on the underboss for the partial cover of a tree, letting loose arrow after arrow, eventually felling him. The last sound on the battlefield was the deafening sound of Pierce cleaving through the last hobgoblin archer.
The party left the bodies where they lay and took refuge in the watchtower for the night. The goblin menace seemed to be quelled for the time being.
