The Scenario

As we exit the Riverwood Shrine we see people run out of Father Nolean home, including Rhyna, Aubrin the Green, and Kamren (ScrundleFish’s new character). Aubrin offers to grab Rhyna and the other villages and flee across the bridge. We leave the shrine and head to Phaendar Trading Company where we pass by near the forge, seeing that Phanedar’s is currently under siege by hobgoblins. The party attempts to jump in before the hobgoblins break in.

While the main party attacks the hobgoblins from behind, Kamren sneaks around the back to the backdoor to help evacuate the townspeople out the backdoor, successfully convincing the townspeople to flee to safety. After we defeat the hobgoblins attempting to break in, we enter the burning forge after hearing that there might be people taking cover in there, one of which is Erastil, whom we return the ivory amulet that we recovered from the shrine.

We managed to find the following loot within the buildings: ~~~

• longsword
• 2x battleaxes
• an alchemical silver rapier
• a masterwork light steel shield
• a masterwork backpack (UE)
• a climber’s kit

After briefly engaging the hobgoblins, **Tukang the Grenadier** comes outside the shop and throws a bomb at **Ceej**.  After we defeat the hobgoblins who have attacked the shop, we discover that **Vane Oreld** has been killed.

Previous post Ironfang Invasion Session 2: Townies The Ironfang Legion has somehow deposited a tower full of hobgoblins into the middle of Phaendar and are systematically taking over the town. The PCs must now somehow flee with as many refugees (and provisions to support them) as possible, and destroy the bridge over the Maredith river to cover their escape into the Fangwood forest. Next post Ironfang Invasion Session 4: Bridge Over the River Marideth The survivors still need to get the refugees of Phaendar to the safety of the Fangwood Forest, and to bring down the bridge at the edge of town to cover their flight.
