"Heading towards the mountains?" remarked Schmidt, "Not a bad idea, the goblins like to set ambushes for travellers on this stretch of road. Just be careful, and keep a sharp eye and ear open."
The two headed west down the road, and it wasn't long before they found some signs of said ambush...
A slight rustle in the nearby growth gave Ranger and Schmidt just enough warning to be ready, as a fligh of arrows came soaring towards them!

"Not nearly as bad as it was last run in eh Schmidt?" Ranger said a smile on his face as he gathered the talismans from the goblins.
"Let's keep going and see if we can't catch another raiding party."

"Watch yourself," warned Schmidt, "Need I remind you, we said that after mopping up the first ambush last time, too. Let's try not to jinx ourselves again, OK?" He looked about uneasily, as if he was expecting another ambush to occur even as they stood there.
"So, which way now?" he asked, "We could continue west as far as the mountains, if you like, but I wouldn't suggest going any farther than that; the pass is treacherous, and powerful monsters live in the area. Besides, I don't think the goblins have any real presence outside the forest."

"Lets head back to Kestral and come around the other side of the forest see if we can't find another group of them"

"All right, fair enough," replied Schmidt with a shrug. The pair backtracked along the road and made their way back to the T-intersection before Kestral after an uneventful trek.
"Well, I suppose we should head to the north now," said Schmidt, as they arrived, "We'll eventually hit the northern edge of the forest like we did on the south side, though there isn't a road that follows it like in the south. So if you want to follow the northern edge of the forest, we're going to have to rough it a little."

"Sounds fine to me. Lets get on our way then," Ranger said as he trekked off toward the north.

Ranger and Schmidt headed off to the north, and eventually reached a configuration similar to the end of the city wall in the south; a guard tower stood watch over the corner of the wall, and the walls continued off to the east, while the forest and the road forged ahead to the north. Schmidt motioned for Ranger to stop for a moment, and called up to the guard atop the tower and waved. He received an "all clear" and a wave in response, and then nodded to Ranger to signal that that was all.

Ranger began to walk a little more cautiously along the northern border of the Western Forest. He had his bow at ready and an arrow nocked should it come to a quick response.

The pair continued up the road for some miles until it passed the western forest's north border. They struck off the trail, moving carefully through the plains within sight of the forest's edge, keeping wary eyes out for anotehr ambush.
After about a half hour, they were noticably closer to the mountains, and hadn't seen hide nor hair of a goblin in some time...
"It certainly didn't take this long to find them on the south side," muttered Schmidt.

"Yea I really don't want to go back into this stupid forest. Lets make a pass around the (East?) side of the forest and if we can't find anymore we go in..."

"Back to the road again, then?" sighed Schmidt, "I can understand why you're playing it safe, but we're not too likely to run into many goblins out here."
