"Does anyone have the ability to track them? We could follow their tracks till we find them." Gradard suggests. "They may be hiding out nearby, but what would bring them out here anyway? And, why would that old man lie to us about the goblins attacking the town? It smells like a trap."
You readily spot the trail heading further around the hill. While just as old as the sign here, the goblins didn't try to hide their tracks. Trees and bushes mindlessly slashed, small animals littering the path.
Just as you head down the trail, (Or if you aren't yet) all of you hear a loud sound coming from behind a tree to your right. All of a sudden you hear a snore, the loudest, wettest, almost pig like in its tone, snore.
Aerendyle freezes at the sound of the snore, then starts sneaking towards it, trying to see who it is without waking the snorer. "If it's a goblin, perhaps we should bind and gag it so we can question it without raising the alarm" he whispers to the others.
