Missing Child

Overview

The parties first assignment was to locate a lost child and help them return home, if possible. After meeting with Quinn and learning that Elise was making a regular trek to a farm to gather wax the party made their way to the farm. On their way they ran into some Kobold Thieves. After dealing with the Kobolds the party made their way to the farm and were met with a locked front door. Quickly breaking down the door, springing a trap which had no effect, the party was able to converse with the owner of the farm and learn that he believed Gorlog was in the forest and that he and the children, including Elise, would not be leaving the house until Gorlog was dealt with. Not only was Gorlog in the forest but it had also killed the mans mother and father a few days earlier. With that knowledge the party went to investigate near the bee hives. Drag marks and damage were evident in the area. The party made their way into the forest following these marks to find the corpse of the mans mother, but the mans father was no where to be seen. As the party discussed they were approached by group of Orcs, Goblins and a wolf. The party began negotiations with the Orcs, the Orcs claimed they had ownership of the farm and were going to gather sweets for The Black King. As negotiations continued, never going anywhere, the Orcs grew tired and began to make their way towards the farm. When the party tried to stop them combat ensued. As battle raged the party had 3 members sustain major injuries but the Orcs and Goblins were slain and the wolf retreated. The party was able to retrieve the mothers corpse and return to the farm. The party told the man that Gorlog's minions were dispatched and that the danger had passed. The man came out of the house, with his son and Elise, to identify the corpse as his mother. With that the party took Elise back to her mother and finished their first assignment.
