April 7 2021 - Delivering goods to Pandalin

We were contracted by Gundren Rockseeker to deliver a wagon of goods to Barthen's Provisions in Phandalin. We encountered some Cockatrice along the way and managed to kill them with only a few minor injuries to the party. Further down the trail we found two dead horses blocking the road and some very unstealthy goblins that were planning to ambush us. We slaughtered them with little effort.

We reached Phandalin without further incident and delivered the goods to Barthen. He payed us each 10 gold, and told us that Gundren and a body guard were supposed to meet arrive to town before us, but they never arrived.

We visited various locations around town to gather information, starting with the Townmaster, Harbin Wester. He said that they've had problems with Orcs in the area just east of town. He offered us 100 gold to kill the Orcs.

Our next stop was Edermath Orchard where we spoke to Daran Edermath. He told us about a group of thugs called the Redbrands that cause lots of problems for the town. They hang out at the Sleeping Giant in the evenings.

Next we talked to Linene Graywind at the Lionshield Coster. She told us that Goblins have been ambushing shipments and that one of her shipments never arrived. She offered us 50 gold if we find and return the missing shipment. It contained grain, ale, 40 swords, 10 bows, and some armor. The wagon has a Blue Lion logo on it.

We went to the Pnandalin Miner’s Exchange and spoke to Halia Thornton. She mentioned the Redbrands and offered us 100 gp to kill their leader, Glasstaff. She seemed a bit suspicious.

We stopped by the woodworkers house, but the lights were out. We asked around town and found out that he was killed and his wife and child have disappeared.

We decided to stay at Stonehill Inn for the night.
