4708 Rova 9th, Sunday Thistletop goblin lair

AM: Gift from Aldern Foxglove delivered to Lyk. Then pcs take fishing boats to Thistletop. Lyk climbs cliff defeats goblins. Pcs enter Thistletop level 2 and are ambushed from 3 and then 4 directions. PCs prevent encirclement and Nualia flees to level 3 after dropping the only enemy between her and escape: Daviren Hosk. Goblins coup de gras Daviren though. PCs chase Nualia downstairs and defeat final ambush killing over 100 goblin soldier-slaves (total of both levels).


Pcs make temporary alliance with Orik Vancaskerkin and Lyrie Akenaja. Nualia flees again somehow releasing a flaming Caterpillar-like demon by the name of Malfeshnakor. Nualia returns to the pcs with 3rd degree burns and dies. Malfeshnakor arrives and begins killing the remaining goblins. The pcs retreat during the carnage. The party plus two swim for shore to save their lives. On the beach tense negotiations end peaceful with Lyrie passing information about Malfeshnakor and allowing Riley to copy rituals from her spell book.

PM
PCs return to Sandpoint to a somber hero's welcome. Mayor Deverin holds a solemn dinner in their honor. Pcs are gifted with the Goblin Squash Stables as Daviren had no living relatives. This will provide an income in the future.
