Mine Mischief
The Guildmaster reports that four adventurers affiliated with the Dunes and Dragons guild have returned from a most arduous journey to the dark woods east of our town. To achieve their goal of locating the source of the strange lights, they sought information from the minister of Agriculture, Morris Weedburne. (A note is scribbled on the page, identifying the minister as the fat man with a guard besides him, always carrying a large wooden pipe, and frequently popping said pipe during conversation)
He sent them further into the forest with warnings of traps and magicks. Fortunately, the adventurers did not encounter much of either, and instead were ambushed by an advance goblin scouting party. After narrowly defeating them, they made their way to a hidden entrance into some old, collapsed Dwarven mines in a central hill in the forest.
They snuck in, and found a goblin magician hidden in the old mithril mine. They defeated, with great trouble, this man, but let the rest of his tribe, identified by a tattered Red flag upon which sits black markings of a sparkling claw, escape and flee to the east.
Goblin Trouble
Let it be known that 3 intrepid adventurers bravely followed some goblins into a cave underneath the woodcutters cabin where, after attempting peaceful negotiations, slaughtered the present goblins and their leader employing unconventional tactics.
Of special mention is the defeat of a very large half-ogre and a giant spider that was being trained & bred.
An unknown spectral figure escaped together with a single shaman kobold (who now erroneously beliefs the Sleeping Dragon talks to him) from an observed large meeting between kobolds and goblins, and we ask all adventurers to keep an eye out for them.
