The Heroes are hired by a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker to bring a wagonload of supplies from the city of Neverwinter to the settlement of Phandalin. The dwarf and his warrior escort, Sildar Hallwinter, will travel ahead of the heroes to arrive early in Phandalin and prepare the Heroes' arrival.
After a few uneventful days of travel, the Heroes spot two dead horses on the trail. Investigating, they realise these are the horses of Gundren and Sildar, struck down by several goblin arrows. Moments later, a band of goblins jumps out of hiding, to ambush the Heroes.
The party manages to survive the encounter, and follow the goblin's tracks back to their hideout. Inside, they must face more goblin, and their fearsome bugbear chief, Klarg, before they can rescue Sildar. Unfortunately, there's no trace of Gundren: it seems he was carried away to some place called Cragmaw Castle, due to a map he carried, showing the location of a mine called Wave Echo Cave.
In the hideout, they also find several crates belonging to the Lionshield Coster, a trade guild also based in Phandalin. The Heroes load all they can on their wagon, and together with Sildar they continue on the trail, hoping to reach Phandalin without more troubles.
