Gundren Rockseeker, a Dwarf, has hired us to bring a wagon to Phandalin, just SE of the city of Neverwinter. We need to bring the materials to Barthen’s Provisions. He has a lot of secrets. He found “something big” and will pay 10 gold each if we deliver the provisions.

• • Gundren rides ahead of us on horseback with a warrior escort, Sildar Hallwinter, who needed to arrive early to “take care of business.” We discover that the cart is full of mining tools and rations upon investigation

We come across two dead horses. Yrdlyn perceives that these are the horses that Gundren left off with. There were drag marks noted next to the horses headed north so we went down the path and left our horses and the cart hidden in the bush.

• • We followed the path north and found a stream and brush on the other side, and at the mouth of the stream was a cave. We got attacked by goblins but killed them.

Summary

• We are being paid by Gundren Rockseeker to bring a wagon to the city of Phandalin
