Quest Summary:
Some posters hung up around town called for adventuring types to head to the forest to deal with trespassers on an old man's property. Upon arriving at his cabin, the group discovered that the old man had been attacked in the forest near his home by unknown humanoids and that his son had went out to attempt diplomacy and never came back.
The group set to deal with the situation. In the forest they found a tree with ropes dangling from its branches, and by pulling on the ropes they were blessed with treasure and then angry hornets. While getting stung by bees and flailing around in a nearby stream, the party alerted the trespassers to their presence with the noise of their antics and rushed into battle.
In a struggle on the banks of a small waterfall and pool, the party did battle against hobgoblins and bugbears and their wizard mastermind. The struggle was not easy but in the end the wizard was restrained and the creatures defeated.
In the end they later discovered from an investigator that the leader of the group was the old man's son who had been trying to mastermind a scenario where it seemed like he had been kidnapped to wrangle a ransom out of his father.
