The Boneyard

Goblins in the streets.

We were very proud when the sheriff told us that he had seen how good we were and asked us to check the gate. When we got there, there was some commotion in the boneyard. I tried to sneak in but they noticed me, so I threw a bullet at a big goblin with my sling. Velicia waved her fan at a group of goblins and almost all flew away. I hit mine again with another sling stone and then stabbed it with my dagger. The rest of us ran up to a group of goblins trying to protect some others next to a ladder raised to the wall. Several goblins suddenly surrounded me. They hit me from all over and I just barely got out before I got really hurt. Honeypot played some really refreshing tune and I attacked again. Soon most of the goblins were dead.

The goblins were dragging a sack from the cemetery and Velicia used her magic to suddenly appear on top of the wall where the goblins were trying to climb ladders to get away with the sack. She stopped them, blowing and burning them with her mighty magic. Then Nathaniel really showed what he could do. He ran up to the ladder and killed the big awful goblin dog that were chewing on Honeypot and continued up the ladder and skewered the goblin leader with his sword helping Velicia. Then he climbed down and retrieved the sack that were on the outside and back up to the wall. He dumped it down the ladder right in front of me, and pulled up the ladder on the outside of the wall. I peeked in the sack and it contained the remains of some yucky old dead body.

From the wall the others said that there came lots and lots of more goblins demanding to get the sack. Honeypot faked another sack and threw it to them. I went looking for an open grave the body could've come from and found one. It was marked cleric Ezakien Tobyn. Nathaniel went to talk to the guards by the gate and I ran back to the square and told the sheriff. He was busy but said they were handling most of the goblins now that we had broken their attack. I went back and saw them throwing a live goblin over the wall. Strange. That fall would probably not even kill it.
