Winters Trail

Backfilled from my old notes (please add anything that I've missed.).

It was winter and some sheep went missing in the local farms, so we found and followed some tracks concealed in the snow.
We found part of a broken old sword along the way, very poor condition.

We tracked it for quite a ways out of town, heading up a slope when an avalanche came down and just about snuffed us.
Turns out it was caused by a pack of goblins, some of whom came down to try and kill us.
We fought them in the snow/avalanche debris and won, however someone/something cast a windwall and escaped.
We followed what tracks we could find and then discovered a crevice in the rock that apparently had been used as a nest by the goblins.
In the crevice we found a half-dozen goblin children with their throats slit and an older goblin that was beheaded and badly maimed, it looked like it had been tortured.

We did find a piece of parchment, a partial diary in Goblin that was friend to friend, talking about escaping and meeting up near the mine north of Calathrab in order to find something that was worth something. There was also a crude map.

We found a total of 9.5 sheep, some loot including armor that had a small crest like that of Lady Naomi's.

We returned to town and did some more research, and it turns out that the person whose armor we found was on a diplomatic mission.
And we figured out where the meeting location near the mine was and determined the date which was about 1 - 1.5 months away.

We eventually headed out to the location referenced at the determined time, encountered a group of hobgoblins, which we defeated, although with difficulty...

We then headed back home, and noted some big smoke plumes near the mine area, which we checked out and it turned out that the mine buildings had all be burned, and there were traps all over the place. This led to the Mine-full Adventure.
