I need another round of attacks from all except Avan.
Looking up you see that Krusten's bird is sitting on a branch watching you all. Under the trees it could not spot you so it landed where it could see Krusten. Krusten is able to recover half of her arrows. The others are broken. Searching the bodies you see they have no money on them at all. All they have is their armor, Weapons and a few hand axes. There were six bugbears with with morning stars and three javelins each. They had on leather armor and light wooden shields. The hob goblins you will count 24 of them had long swords and two javelins each, The have studded armor and light wooden shields. Looking at them you can see whip marks some that are quite fresh on the backs of the hobgoblins and the bug bears.
Avan is able to track the steps of the small horde to the barricade they were building. There among the trees and limbs he loses the trail for a bit. But he finds it off the the south and east and it leads deeper into the forest
Zork rides in a circle about a mile from the ambush site. He can see many trees and he needs to roll a few D12s and D6s to see if he can keep himself from getting turned around and lost.
Krusten's bird flies down to her and lands awkward on her arm. Upon close examination she will see a small bolt in the bird left wing. The feathers of the bolt interfere with the birds feet.
What is the next move?
As you all gather by the barricade you look about and see that the barricade should be moved so that it allows travel past it if any wagons of travelers would come by. About this time Lukas looks about. "Hey where did the tied up goblin go? Looking about everyone realizes that during the battle he was able to slip away.
You make camp around the barricade. It is a simple barricade of trees placed upon a pile that blocks the road. Aliana headed to the west back towards the way they had come. She does not see anything of interest that they had not already saw before returning back to the barricade. Zork makes it back safely but did not see anything of note. Avan after searching for a while finds the goblins foot prints headed north and west. Faerydae is able to remove the bolt from the bird safely and bind the hawks wing. Until healed the bird will not be able to fly much at all.
The night passes quietly and you wake up to a quiet morning. It is a eerie quiet like something is going to happen soon. The sun is just peeking over the horizon as the darkness fades and the trees are easier to see. The road continues to the east and gently curves to the southeast further up the road. The wind is light and the skies look to be clear.
You leave the barricade as it is and head east along the road with Avan following the tracks of the band. As you are rounding the curve on the road the tracks lead off to the north. Just inside the tree line you see some crude shelters placed around. As you search the shelters you find nothing but sleeping furs and such no valuables and very little to eat.
Watching the hawk you see that it is staying to the north side of the road not wanting to cross to the south side of the road at all.
Avan is able to spot a couple larger prints leading off from the shelters heading back towards the road crossing it and heading south.
