Session Five - 5th May 2023

Finishing the fight with the hobgoblins, the PCs release the prisoners, and glance outside, where they see a bunch of goblins and what looks like a wyvern talking to them. They bar the door and consider what they plan to do, before the goblins start to chop the door down. As a hole forms in the door, a flaming hands through the door causes the two goblins immediately outside to die - the wyvern squeezes into the passage and talks to the PCs. It seems strangely obsessed with gems, and agrees to allow the PCs to kill the goblins if they give it some gems. The party agree and step out of the prisoner room, leaving the prisoners behind them.

The goblins, realising the wyvern wasn’t going to help them, scattered up to the gatehouse towers - where they defend themselves as the party try to take them out. Hurling alchemical flasks of either fire or some strange web-like glue, the winter goblins defend themselves well, but are eventually taken out by the PCs, though one is still missing. Session ends with all three PCs having been unconscious at one point or another, and all exhausted on just one HP. Two of the prisoners, Borden and Gower, are ex-militia from Sweetwater, and although weak, tried to help out. It is getting dark.

_In between sessions, I mention that all three PCs, whilst unconscious, had an image of a kindly faced grey haired old lady with twigs and leaves in her hair who wanted them to follow her down into the cellars below the keep…_
