Recruitment!

Frightal-lok puts the word out that he is looking for explorers to find rare herbs in the nearby Forest Lands. He pays 5 coppers per day. Must be able to fend for themselves and have their own weapons to ward off random encounters. 

Once he has six explorers, they set out to find herbs. He is sure to explain what a black lotus is and to be careful with some of more poisonous specimens. Frightal-lok uses intimidation and persuasion to convince them of his superior intellect and instill the importance of their mission. If a party member volunteers, the payment will be a healing salve that restores 1d6+1 hps when applied.

Several goblins join and the search begins! I will wait and see if anyone else wants to join the online adventure. Then I will continue the story of finding herbs and fending off random monsters.
