Unjustly expelled from his last party, adventurer Nick and his crew of similarly burned adventurers—a once-noble mage, excommunicated priest, and dragonian lady knight—have conquered the slimes of the first beginner labyrinth, and they now set out toward Goblin Forest. Taking down some goblins? That you can do alone! But trust and teamwork are their only hope to defeat the hordes of hobgoblins and the mighty ogre deep in the woods… Can they really succeed when their strategy relies on Karan the dragonian, who will have to relive her traumatic memories and act as the van guard with her back to her team once again?
Apparently, the book summary has nothing to do with the actual book. I will try my best.
The Survivors are returning from yet another dungeon when they encounter a adventuring group of children?
What brought them into the woods so far from home? Why, rumors of an ancient evil reigniting of course! The children have fled their homes in order to get training to try and avoid a legendary kidnapper.
Nick and the gang, inevitably gets sucked into the intrigue.
