The party was hired by Gundren Rockseeker to escort a wagon filled with provisions from the City of Neverwinter to the town of Phandalin. Gundren left a couple of days ahead of the party, along with Sildar Hallwinter. After rescuing Sildar from the Cragmaw Tribe of goblins, the party completed their delivery to Phandalin and began their efforts to rescue Gundren.
