One day in Urgmob's bar, a hobgoblin comes in looking for him. He says that he came across a wounded patrol about a day to the east of town. He says that the survivors told him they'd been attacked by armored humans. When asked why he didn't help them back to town, he said that if they were strong, they'd survive, as Tulgus intended.
Urgmob gathered together the party and Rhin activated the undead dragon for flight duty. They collected the hobgoblin and flew off to the east. Siala and Rockaneeshoo caught sight of two prone hobgoblin bodies in a clearing, and they came down for a landing. One of the hobgoblins was still alive, and was revived by Rhin. He said that his patrol of 6 had run into the humans, and that the humans had decimated them. He pointed in the direction from which he'd come, and Urgmob let his onyx dog track their scent to make sure.
Rhin commanded the dragon to follow Inky, and Rockaneeshoo isntructed inky to stay nearby. The image of Inky leading a black dragon on a town raid was an amusing one.
The party continued on foot, and soon encountered four heavily armored warriors. Siala entangled them, making it hard for them to escape, and the rest of the party attacked. The other humans came up to support their comrades, and there were 14 total. One was a leader, and another was a sorceror. The fight was short. Urgmob dropped arrows into them as fast as possible, Siala shanked a few while invisible, and Rhin sucked the life out of one, and paralyzed the rest. The survivors were stripped, questioned, then released. They were a platoon from the Blacktongue mercenary company, out to avenge the death of Mad Dog. The sorceror was his brother, and the commanding officer was a close friend.
Rhin let the survivors go with the provision that they never come back to bother with this particular vendetta again. There were quite a few pieces of magical armor and protective trinkets that the party scooped up and had the dragon carry back to town.
