Everyone now in their places, the drivers got their bearings set and moved forward, allowing the travelers to sit where they pleased so long as no one was crowded in. The trip would take a full weeks journey, but the drivers did not seem to want to speak much seeming content with their own duties.<br/><br/>A full two days went by without incident, clear skies and warm nights the entire way. The food was well cooked and the group got to know each other well enough for at least a first name greeting. Upon waking on the third morn, they prepared the carriages once more to be off for the day as distant clouds began to roll over the horizon. The road seemed to become rougher this far out of civilization as well.<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to them a band of goblins, 18 strong, were camped ahead within a large outcropping of trees and rocks. Among them, A hobgoblin of immense size and build. Their sentries called out to the group warning of the approaching caravan and they prepared their coming assault.
