Somehow the gods had smiled on the young Cormyrean and she was still unscathed.<br/><br/><em>"Of course we should try to find the riders."</em>She declared emphatically in reply to Kaldara's question.<em>"Never mind that those horses are most probably those of our employer, the thought of anyone in the hands of those vile little creatures is simply too horrible. At the very least we could return the poor souls bodies to their loved ones."</em><br/><br/><em>"We're still a good few hours travel from Phandelver at the speed these oxen move."</em>She commented squinting up towards the sun to roughly judge the time of day.<em>"I'll stand watch at the start of the trail if you would like to take the opportunity to bandage your wounds. I won't pretend to be an expert on the matter, but we faced Goblin raids from the Stormhorn mountains back home near Daddy's Minroe estate and I never heard of a raiding party of just four of the nasty creatures. We should expect another fight to recover those riders, living or dead."</em><br/><br/>The bard then returned to where Kaldara had discovered the hidden track leading away from the ambush site and hid herself in the bushes beside it. Settling down with her rapier on her lap she watched and listened for more Goblins returning here from that path.
