Tonight's Background

Having battled and decimated a camp of hobgoblins and freed a prisoner, Throckmorton, a priest of the chaotic god Khalk'Ru the Destroyer, the party continued through the woods. At dusk they discovered some very ancient ruins smothered in the overgrowth and spent the night hidden amongst the rubble.  In the morning they explored some doors and rooms of the ruins coming upon a pristine and peaceful open air garden containing a large pool and a magic fountain...

We'll divide up experience first thing as this garden can be considered a safe haven.

Tonight's Background

After capturing a patrolling Hobgoblin, Arg 'gently' persuades some pertinent information from him about the whereabouts of the Goblin King. With the afternoon spring rain coming down in the thick forested Howling Hills and the path to the ruined monastery and the entrance to the Hobgoblin king's domain blocked by a camp of Hobgoblins there is nothing else to do but sharpen your blades - for blood will spill this day!

The map of the clearing is below...
