2-1D: Cut Them Off At The Source
Laying a trap for goblins requires lowering yourselves to their level. And so you find yourselves lying under detritus of the foulest kind, ready to spring on any invaders who try to seize the discarded treasures thereabouts.
You were led here by councilman Thelsikar, the only friendly face on the council that you found after failing to slay the dragon Black Fang. He had been told that there had been nightly scavenging raids down at Junk Beach, and this could only be the work of goblins. Normally, these raids would be dismissed out of hand, but the councilman theorized that it was the work of the mutant goblins that attacked you on your way to Sandpoint.
So, you wait. And wait. Maybe there’s nothing that—
Crackle... crackle...
You hear the sound of small footsteps among the trash heap.
Undoubtedly these are the scouts of the Mosswoods. Perhaps if you can capture these few scouts, you can “persuade” them to reveal their hideout.
“Aha!” you cry as you discard your garbage coverings.
“Ahaha!” says a mutated goblin, and you realize you are surrounded by many dozens more goblins than you would like to see at this very minute.
“Big Chief Wortus got you good! Got them longshanks like we should!”
Someone laid a trap tonight, but it wasn’t you.

Scenario Rules
When you encounter a bane that has the Goblin trait, roll 1d6:
1 - BYA, succeed at a Constitution/Fortitude 5 check; if you fail, subtract 2 from each die you roll during this encounter.
2 - The difficulty of checks to defeat the bane is increased by 10.
3 - AYA, move to a random other location.
4 - A random character at your location encounters this bane instead. That character does not roll on this table.
5 - The bane is defeated; each character at your location is dealt 1d4 Acid damage.
6 - Bury a random card from your discard pile.

All characters start at the Junk Beach and there are four Goblin Raider henchmen on top. We face those (without being able to close) and then have to close the location before we can spread out to the other locations.

Initiative rolls:

Alahazra: 1d100 ⇒ 16
Mother Myrtle: 1d100 ⇒ 91
