Documents, in the style of the image, in all usable formats that explain the quest in detail, and a large map in the gridded / ungridded variations. This quest has an average CR of 1 / 2-2, but the situation can quickly escalate if you have the goblins attack in a group.

The quest

A group of goblins robbed a caravan carrying medicinal herbs, bound for the village, where an unknown disease is decimating the inhabitants. The group will be asked to eliminate all the goblins and recover as many medicinal herbs as possible. The reward is 250 gp, plus 10 gp for each successfully recovered medicinal herb. Once they reach the goblins deep in the mine, they will discover that they have stolen the herbs because they are sick and were trying to save themselves. At this point the goblin tribal chief will propose a betrayal to the players, if they decide to leave the herbs to the goblins and let them go, they will be handsomely paid.

The mines

There are just over a dozen goblins scattered around the mine, my suggestion is to slowly wear down the group by sending groups of two or three goblins at them. Being low-level, it shouldn’t be hard to test their endurance. What happens next is entirely up to you and your players (mostly!: D).
