Adventure 2 is non-linear and probably encapsulates more than just a single adventure. But here goes.
Having left the temple of Boccob, the characters happened upon a caravan of halflings. Half their number had disapeared into a fog never to return. The halfling's were eager to pay the characters for protection until they could make it back to civilization. During their stay, the halflings proceeded to attempt to get the characters drunk so as to learn what they could about what was going on.
Feldon stayed off from the debauch only to learn that someone was watching the camp. Feldon discovered that this someone was a hobgoblin who she incapacitated and then killed. The Halfling's admitted to having conned a group of humanoids into believing that they had bought a piece of Aversill land, thereby making them citizens of the colony. The humanoids had figured out the con and now wanted their money back (and probably a bit of vengeance as well). Earthmoon decided to give the money back to the humanoids and made a deal to take them their gold. The humanoids were happy to have their money back and hoped to organize a defection to the Aversill forces. Earthmoon basically said no.
The halflings have since expressed some disdain for having lost the gold that they feel they earned fair and square (by halfling standards).
In any case, while travelling with the halflings, the party stopped by battlefields where the bodies of the fallen had basically just been left to rot. Nearby peasants were looting the bodies in some places. Later, the party passed through the abandoned village of Kaydtch, but sensing its eeriness they decided it was best not to stop.
The next stop was the walled village of Hyberoan, outside of which stood a makeshift stockade of prisoners who were awaiting trial for treason to the baron. The characters learned that this stockade represented the captured citizens of Kaydtch...
