Father Zantus couldn’t tell you much about the grave-robbing so you reached a dead end. An attractive young woman (Shayliss Vinder) approached Brother Bother for “help with some rats” but was clearly after help with a beaver. BB accompanied her to the cellar of the town’s general store and was just getting into his task with some enthusiasm when a large father (Ven Vinder) came down the ladder and flew into a rage – this ended with BB getting smacked in the chops and making an exit as fast as his portly legs could carry him, with the words “I never want to see you or your friends in my shop” ringing in his ears.

Went to the Rusty Dragon to meet Aldern Foxglove (the chap you rescued) who was very pleased to see you all and invited you on a boar hunt. He was delighted when you agreed and bought you all horses. He seemed rather hero-struck by you all but by Gol’den Chile in particular and kept singing his praises the whole time, with some justification as it was GC who bagged the boar. A great feast was had with some boozing.

Some time the next day you get asked to go & see sheriff Hemlock at the town hall, where you’re introduced to mayor Deverin and a half-elf lady called Shalelu. She normally swings by Sandpoint a few times a year but has turned up early this season with worrying news. Goblins attacked a farm and she managed to rescue the family, but learned from some captives that the five local goblin tribes – normally only mildly troublesome as they’re riven by in-fighting – had worked together to attack Sandpoint. She fears someone has ‘moved in on them’ and is planning worse trouble. Hemlock decides to take a small contingent to Magnimar to request more troops and asks you to show your faces around town while he’s gone to prevent panic spreading. You do so.

The morning after the sheriff leaves you are approached in the street by an elderly halfing woman who wants to talk to you in private. She claims to work for Ameiko Kaijitsu (the proprietor of the Rusty Dragon who cooked you all a tasty boar the other night) and is worried because she’s gone missing. She found a note in her room written in Minkai which she has managed to translate. It’s from Ameiko’s half-elf brother Tsuto (who was a bit of a scandal when born, fell out with his father a few years ago, fell out with Ameiko more recently and hasn’t been seen for a while) and says something along the lines of “I think dad was behind the attack, meet me at the glassworks tonight” (the glassworks is owned by their father, a local noble called Lonjiku Kaijitsu).

You investigate the glassworks. You can hear the furnace rumbling and smoke’s coming out of the chimbley but all the doors are locked and curtains are drawn across the windows. BB & GC go around the back, out of sight of the town, throw a grappling hook up to the roof and climb up. Through the skylights they see into the main work area – lots of stuff smashed up, lots of dead & partially-dismembered bodies, some guy on a chair directly beneath you who’s had a load of molten glass poured all over him and several goblins capering about having fun: smashing stuff, burning severed limbs and so on. Ninja Squad go into action.

Gol’den Chile smashes through the skylight and rappels down, crashing onto the floor and hurting his ankle; BB follows a little more gracefully and they surprise attack the goblins. The fight doesn’t go well at first: some goblins are chucking glassware at you, some are trying to hit you with tongs dripping with molten glass and some are trying to dog-slicer you. Eventually most are killed and the last two flee, one out the door into the corridor and one down the stairs …
