The Journey Begins

The group witnesses two large gold dragons that were feasting on the bodies on the battlefield. They fly off and the group rummages through the site to salvage any weapons and armor that they can trade/sell. Vorwyn also finds a letter on a dead soldier addressed to a woman by the name of Gertrad. The letter states that he left his life earnings for her with the sheriff. The group heads back to Hilltown.
Vorwyn delivers the letter to Gertrad and helps her retrieve the money left for her. She plans to set up an Inn and tavern and asked Vorwyn if he can bring back a piece of Wyrmwood from the upcoming journey into the mountains. She plans to use it for the bar or fire place mantle of the new building. The group sells the equipment they salvaged and buys the necessary equipment needed for the journey. As they are getting ready to leave, they happen upon a 1/2 elf By the name of Fyorn and a halfling by the name of Wetzel. They quickly make friends and decide to join the group on their adventure into the mountains to retrieve the last ingredients needed to save Taladoor. They also meet an Elven flute maker named Panarus who also decides to join the party.
They start heading South through the hills. It is slow going. They come upon those same gold dragons they witnessed the other day, but this time they are blocking the road. The dragons seem friendly enough and offer to fly the group into the mountains if they let them eat their horses. The group declines and continues south. Delvin scouts ahead and encounters a group of creatures called Grimlocks. They look quite sinister.

They decide to avoid these creatures and are able to get away safely. On the 3rd day of travel Delvin is surprised by a crossbow bolt to the throat. The group knows an ambush is coming. Flaming arrows fly up from the hills beyond and rain down around the group and their cart. Then a band of hob Goblins rush over the hill to attack!
