Criella, Victor and Wilbur
If you aren't familiar with the setting or the Forgotten Realms, this is a quick geography lesson.
You are on the world of Toril, on the continent known as Faerun. The region is known as The North, and lies on the northwest coast. The particular area is called the Sword Coast, which extends from the coastal city of Waterdeep just to the south to the coastal city of Neverwinter just to the north.
About halfway between the two cities lies the Triboar Trail, a trade route that heads east inland and over the mountains.
The village of Phandalin lies 15 miles along the Triboar Trail and 10 miles south of it.
"There was no reason to be more specific unless anyone was interested," Sildar finally replies.
"Although the first group cleaned out the main goblin lair in the ruins of Cragmaw Castle, we think there was also a hideout somewhere near where the Triboar Trail starts. People have spotted goblins in the area, and have even had to fight off an attack on one occasion. So routing them out is one option."
"Then there's the ruins of Thundertree to the north, farther past the castle ruins. It was devastated 30 years ago when Mount Hotteenuf erupted. Ever since, there have been strange tales from anyone who's visited it. Don't know if this is from goblins or not."
"Next is Conyberry. This abandoned town was sacked by barbarians years ago. Nobody was interested in rebuilding and fortifying it, so it remains in ruins. It's right along the Triboar Trail."
"Then there's Old Owl Well and Wyvern Tor. Both are in the mountains east and a bit south. Some trappers said they spotted orcs around Wyvern Tor. Naturally, we'd want to check that out. Likewise, some miners claim they saw undead walking around the old Watchtower of Old Owl Well. Might be undead, might be goblins, might be orcs."
"So, any of those pique your interest?"
