we pick up after the group has killed a bunch of goblins, who had kidnapped Bianka von Zutzen, the daughter of Baron Waldemar von Zutzen.

The group looted all of the goblins, while Angran untied Bianka, and tried to calm and sweet talk her. He argued that they should immediately return her to her family, while the rest of the group wanted to instead enter the nearby cave and exterminate the goblin menace. Ultimately it was decided that they would enter the cave and check it out, while keeping her near, but out of the way. They investigated the insides, and in the left branch of the cave found some living quarters, along with some gold, healing draughts, and a chain coif.

The other branch, they heard sounds of sleeping, so the melee fighters snuck in and slaughtered two goblins in their bed. Angran found a small hidden compartment in the room, which contained 25 more gold crowns.

Before they could leave the cave, they heard the sounds of greenskin talk outside, as well as eating. Tardach snuck outside to find out who was there, and saw 3 orcs and 2 goblins outside. They formed a small barricade at the entrance to the cave as quietly as they could, and then unleashed a barrage of arrows. Angran got off a lucky shot, which severed one of the orc’s arms completely, and he turned to run. The other orcs charged them at the entrance, and viciously fought them in melee. It was a frantic, crazed fight, with very little actual damage done once the fight got started, but eventually they connected enough to bring the monsters down.

They rested and travelled back to where they found Gretel, amidst all the dead bodies. However, once they got there, she was gone, though all the bodies remained.

Bianca was heartbroken when she came back, and pointed out one of the bodies on the ground as her father. She did not seem to understand the party’s story about her father being the baron. Corwin, being a superstitious sort, decided that they should bury all the bodies, in order to appease Morr. “You need to bury them face down, so that yours isn’t the last face they see.”

They buried all the bodies there, and then went on to the town of Ossino.
