 ==== Summary ====
+The party started off by checking to see where the force they had just encountered had come from. Elmer suggested that they might have been an advance force to scout the away for a larger one. He was in a hurry to get underway. As Cal-El looked further down the road on the east side of the road, Xor and Eryn were on the west side, backing him up some ways back when they were jumped by two dire wolves. They came out of the woods to the west of them. The fight didn’t last long before the Company Clandestine finished them off.  They did determine that this force was coming down the road and they continued on their way. That evening, they rested off the road a ways with a small fire. Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, they took off for the farm. Elmer suggested that they’d make it around midday.
+As they neared, the tracks  they had been following began grouped together more. As they were examining this, Xor smelled smoke from fires. Elmer pointed out that his farm was over the rise and down in the next valley. Xor and Cal-El ran to the top of that hill and from there, could see the farm. There was movement down there, more than a single person. Cal-El had Xor go back and get the others while he tore out for the farm. Xor told the others what they had seen, Elmer parked the wagon and they all took off. Running down the hill. Eryn noted that there appeared to be no other forces around. She asked Elmer his and his wife’s plan should this happen. She was to hide in a secret room in the back of the cellar, also accessible from the upstairs through a secret door.
+Cal-El reached the farm first and with his first two shots, dropped one goblin each. He kept his location hidden as the goblins became alert to someone’s presence. The main party finally arrived and began firing into the goblins, dropping them. A hobgoblin moved into the main area barking orders. There were also two gnolls with spears, two bugbears came out of nowhere and attacked the back of the group. While fighting, an orog came out of the north woods with a dire wolf and two white wolves. Symon did fall but Angelique was able to revive him and heal him. One of the dire wolves escaped to the north. One of the goblins ran around the farmhouse heading east. One of the bugbears dropped suddenly even though no one had hit him at the time. Everyone else fell, one by one. Eryn and Xor went after the goblin that ran off while Cal-El went after the dire wolf. Cal-El couldn’t catch up to the dire wolf but followed his tracks for a bit, it was heading north and out-pacing him. He returned to the farmhouse. Eryn and Xor found the goblin with one more dire wolf, behind the farmhouse, and finished them off.
+Cal-El checked the outside of the farm for any other enemies, Xor looted for gold, items, and skinned the two white wolves. Eryn entered the cellar and tried to get to Elmer’s wife that way, but was unable to find a way into the secret room. Elmer, Symon, and Angelique did finally clear the way upstairs for Emma to come out. She and Elmer thanked the Company. They will leave and go to Elmer’s brother’s house, south. Emma made everyone a drink which restored 1 hit point. She applied salves to Elmer’s wounds and then made them a breakfast feast. Eryn and Xor retrieved the wagon and horse and put them away for the night.
+During a lengthy discussion, it was learned that the bugbear, killed mysteriously, was poisoned as he was found stiff and foaming at the mouth. Xor went back to the bugbear at Elmer’s suggestion and searched for a dart. He found a very nice silver needle which he recovered using a glove. After they examined it, he laid the needle in the fire to burn the poison off of it and then burned the glove. They discussed the reason for his death, why would the assassin’s have killed him? It appeared they were protecting Angelique. No one could figure out why. In their speculations, Angelique revealed her true identity to Elmer, by whispering it to him. They had a cryptic discussion about who her grandfather was without naming him. They also discussed getting a letter to him, and whether that would even be possible with the assassin’s watching her. Symon still seemed suspicious of Angelique. Eryn, seeing that the assassin’s were seemingly protecting Angelique announced that she was Angelique’s best friend. Maybe they’ll protect her too? They again had a lot of questions, more clues, but still no answers.
