Snow Day Encounters (d8)

Snowy Encounters (1d8) A dwarf pushes through the snow up to her chest. She would pay 20gp for a fire and a hot meal. The area is crisscrossed with goblin tracks. Oddly, there is a perfectly circular indentation that follows the feet. If the goblins are followed, the PCs come upon 2d6 of them. One […]

Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
