Notes

Death Striker — went to Barlowe because the Mayor was looking for help.
Spoke to Captain of the guard:
- Things have been stolen, food and farm equipment
- Blacksmith and granddaughter have been kidnapped
Searched the town and found footsteps
- Death Striker didn't know what they were
- Captain of the Guard suggested it was a Goblin
Set snare traps around
- Went to bed
- In the morning, found one of the traps set off, but the rope was cut; indicating something was caught and escaped
Searched and found more tracks leading to the north-east
Followed tracks into the forest
Found a hole
- Sneaked up and hid, waiting for dark
- A gnome emerged
- Threatened, gnome shot an arrow at Death Striker
- Refused to come out, got more bolts ready
- Death Striker left to get help
Death Striker got lost on the way back to town, spending most of the night wandering.
- Eventually found a road to follow back to Barlowe
- Attacked by 2x Hawks along the way, ran off
Spoke to Captain of the Guard and returned to hole in the forest
- Tried to sneak up and hide, but gnome heard approach
- Death Striker promised free farm equipment, gnome came out, believing bluff
- Death Striker said too much, gnome grew suspicious and returned to hole
- Death Striker used Summon Undead I to send a kobold skeleton into the hole
- Gnome came out, terrified, and told the whole story
The gnome's village was attacked by orcs, killing half the town
- They have no money, little equipment
- Trying to rebuild but it's hard
- He came out to steal things
  - "You all had so much, I didn't think you'd need it all"
  - A gnome from his village comes every week to take the stolen stuff back to their town
At the Gnome Village, no gnomes were present
- Two orcs were lying in wait
- Sverfnebil is going after his friends
  - No bodies, no blood, he thinks the orcs took them
  - Joseph and Death Striker and going with him
- They've not rested
