You move on. Light trees and cliffs lead to the far edge of the forest, and there you see a vast rocky swamp — home to goblins and lizardfolk.

“Aaaahh,” sighs Polki. “Home.”

Just then, a lone goblin emerges from the rocks and races up. You tense, weapons ready, until Polki shouts, “Powzi!” He rushes to embraces his brother.

Powzi quickly turns to you. “Your family are captives in Ballax.”

“In what?”

“It’s a vast fortress,” says Tox’ar, looking grimly northward. “Home of ogre warlord, Marroz Pale-eyes.”

“We could go now,” says Naya, “or help the villagers first. Your call.”

You decide to:

2. Proceed towards Ballax with the group (click here).
