April 3rd, 2021
When we last joined our adventurers, they had defeated the orc cheiftan Brughor Axe-Bitter and his filthy ogre companion Gog on Wyvern Tor. With their leader defated, a night of partying and revery ensued. The orcs now view Billie as their leader and are looking for direction. After much discussion the party decides to send the orc village to Phandalin to live and work in the Tressadar Manner. Billie directs them to prepare to move and that the party will take them back to Phandallin on their return from Conyberry.
The party returns to the trail and heads towards Conyberry. At the midpoint of their journey, night approaches and the party decides to set up camp. In the distance, Lilian notices another camp along the way which appears to be populated with large goblins. Wanting to investigate, Lilian casts Pass Without A Trace on the party. The party approaches to get a better look.
Billie and Dripp identify them as hobgolins. They explain that they are an honorable and strict, and usually act as a leader to goblins. Their tents are set up neatly around a fire. Seeing five of them in one place is somewhat strange. Since they know thier language, both Dripp and Demna head forward and introduce themselves. They are not well recieved and are threatened and instructed to leave immediately. Dripp and Demna return to the party.
Keras proposes putting them in a magical sleep, restraining them, and questioning them. Demna insists the party should eat them, much to Keras's shagrin. Dripp really wants to murder them. Keras manages to convince them that questioning them alive is more to the party's advantage.
Keras casts Sleep on the entire group, and all of the members rush in to restrain him. Three hobgoblins were successfully restrained. Deman liqifies hers, Dripp kills his.
Keras tries to question his and intimidates him. Keras asks what their orders, don't say. Demna bites him, refuses to answer gets mad and tries to stop them from reading scroll.

Lilian kills him with a scorching ray.
