Most of the information was more background and history. What was not mentioned was why the goblins are attacking in combined forces and so she asks about that. "Any speculation or knowledge of why the goblins are now combining forces and attacking Sandpoint. IF they have just raided the junk pile why are they now after the city itself. Something or somone is driving them to do it, That something is stronger and badder than they are which is why they are working together. That is what we really need to find out about and stop."

In the meantime until we can get ahold of a goclin and interrrogate them we do need to help these people out. "I would like to see a map of Sandpoint that we can refer too. I would know how and where the goblinds entered the city last time and therefore concentrate on those areas. THey don't like water so I dobt that they would try to use boats of rafts. I know there are the two bridges into the city but what about where it is connected to the pennisula itself. What sort of defenses are there in place already and where. With that information we can make the best use of our numbers and abilities." offers Ariellyn

"Having dogs become part of the watch is a good idea. Their keen noses might help us find them before they find us. Dogs and horses are a great idea. I will wee how far my money will stretch to get one or the other. I think all the night watch sheuld have a dog or two with them and not just us." Ariellyn continues.

"Other input as to what we can do to help this town or what we cand help this town do for itself."

"You are quite correct that we need knowledge of what is organising the goblins and why but I do not know much about goblins and their kind and that is why I am focusing primarily on the matter of defending the town. I am no tactician and no goblin psychologist." with that she pauses for a short time mulling over what she is going to say next and continues
"I believe that the north gate is quite well guarded but the bridges are unguarded and so that is probably the way the goblins got in. A guard dog costs 25 gold for your information and until we get that all important information our strengths are best if we concentrate them on defending the town."

I will copy this map is no one minds so that I might use to familiarise myself with this place.

"Thank you about the price of dogs around here. I willsee what I can do about that."

Ariellyn kne her funds wouldn't stretch that far, since she had gotten new arrow with her part of the reward. Perhaps she could befriend a stray about town, or see would see what she could do to earn money in a different way.

"As for information about who is organizing the goblins we will have to take a goblin or two for questioning." she finishes

Once hearing Ariellyn talk Selaro decided that the conversation needed structure so they did not lose any advantage, such as a goblin expert.
"For now we need to not get overwhelmed, we should now discus and put our attention towards what might be organising the goblins." she says it as a suggestion but it is that type that has to be headed as it seems the most logical thing to do and continues to ask Shalelu a question
"Shalelu, do you know what creatures there are in the area that would have some reason to attack towns, I don't think it could be any of the goblin 'champions' as they seem not to have anything to benefit from attacks like the last from what you have already told us."

Ariellyn will listen to what Shalelu has to say about any creatures that might want ot attack the town. before continuing

When Shalelu finishes she turns to Selaro, "Yes I agree it will up to us to set out the watches we will take in defense of the town. Because of my ability to see further than humans at night I offer to take night time watches. if you will group me with sometone who knows the town well I think that would be best for me as an outsider.

Ok .. if you guys are going to do pairings .. what pairings are you going to do?

The idea is that we pair of with a member of the guard but we need a some new routes, doing 12 hour shifts isn't a very good idea

"I will have to rely on your knowlde of this place to pick out the beest routes for us to patrol." Ariellyn states. With my bow I am better at range shots, and that would mean more straight routes for me and less of the brooked paths.

Once you make the pairing I owuld like to go over the route I will be patroling ahead of time so familiarized myself with it.

Individually you divide up amongst members of the guard and create shifts for a town watch to patrol the streets. There are enough guards to go around and actually enough for two guards per patrol.

How do you want to do shifts?

On page 11 I have posted up the routes, they involve the characters who have left the adventure working on the NPC shift.

Just to clarify, each shift will be 8 hours long and with a member of the town guard.

"I shall walk you over your route once I know what one you wish to do, as for me, I would like a the morning shift on route 2 as my accommodations are on that route. I will also spend the majority of my day there so if I am needed you can find me easily."

"Yes i agree with the dog idea, I think I might be able to ride one i will need to take some money from the 1000 in the bank, but i will only take the money i need. As for the watches i will do the night watch on route 1 as for the other watch for all of you i will be in the rusty dragon dieing down people out side for you, in the afternoon."

Riva had ignored all resquests for more information about herself; in her mind, these questions had little enough to do with the situation at hand. Rather, Riva immersed herself in the plans unfolding before them all and felt the touch of destiny upon them all.

(more to come; placeholder)

Taden Studies the map eyes intense a few seconds later he looks away acquiring what he needed. Taden had been daydreaming all day thinking about what it was the witch said. Looking for any hidden meanings but obviously everything she said was plain as day.

He looked up at his companions and smiled a little. " I may be able to help by summoning a creature to guard while someone rests. He takes some scraps of paper from his satchel and began to write on them. Hm I'm not entirely sure what spells to prepare because anything could happen mage armor would be a nice one but then again. Taden pulls out his spell book and flips through the pages trying to memorize at least one cantrip.

He slams the book shut and stows it in his backpack. " That does it well we still have problems to figure out." "I will take what ever route you see me best fit to secure I request that a close ranged fighter come with me."

I don't care which route either. Though my night sight is better thans a human's is so a night watch is good for me too.

Areillyn just doesn't care which on she is on. she soes take stime to study the map to help her get around the town. Afer this meeting she is going out and actually wake the routes so she gets them in her head. and to her her find vantage points to hold back a group of goblins or trap them in a dead end alley or force then to come at her one at a time. SHe also is going to look for high vantages points she could climb up and shot from a height down on her foes.

Riva, after studying the map, looks carefully at each of her companions.

"We should pair off according to ability. Those of us with no ranged abilities ahould be paired with someone for whom range is a specialty."
