The group returns to the magistrate, Havlim, who gladly gives them a large reward of gold. His mood soon darkens as he’s told about the goblins lurking in the mine. Havlim asks the team to stay in town for a few more days, to perhaps help them explore the mines and deal with any other unforeseen troubles. With the promise of more gold and a place to rest, they decide to take him up on the generous offer.
The next morning they’re awoken by the shouts of the townspeople and raucous commotion from outside. Several bandits have been spotted just outside of town looking to ambush the next shipment of ore from the miners! While the guards argue with the magistrate, saying they refuse to leave the safety of the town’s walls because they don’t get paid enough to protect the road outside, the companions decide to step in and rid Ebon Hold of a few more pests.
