[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6037880, member: 19265"] [b]Session 1 - The Story[/b] [[B]Spoiler Alert[/B]: Players should not read this if playing through [I]Rise of the Runelords[/I]]. Wow. Finally, our first session down and it seemed to go pretty well. The players seemed pleased with the mix of RPing early on and the fighting later. PCs spent a fair amount of time wandering the [I]Swallowtail Festival [/I]and trying their hands at various activities that were on. The dwarf wizard PC came seeking his cousin that would die if he did not come to [B]Sandpoint[/B], which turned out to be a hoax played by his cousin to get him out of his library to enjoy the world. The other 2 dwarf PCs were in on this scam and now I can reveal we have another member of the group; a dwarf rogue NPC. The 'meeting' of his cousin was a highlight. Then the goblins raided and this is where the PC's came together as they each rushed to fight the goblins. [I]Licktoads [/I]attacked around the Cathedral, [I]Thistletops [/I]from a covered wagon, before a bunch of [I]Seven Tooths [/I](Teeth?) came burning and singing up High St. The Sherrif went to head off a group of goblins that had apparently taken the north gate. After dealing with the goblins attacking the cathedral and festivities, the PCs went to help at the north gate, defeating 2 [I]Licktoads [/I]mounted on goblin dogs and a bunch of [I]Mosswoods [/I]on foot before closing the gates. The human rogue PC (Antonio) rescued the cowering noble Aldern Foxglove during this encounter. (NB: A lot of the town guard had left to stop a goblin raid at Hosker's farm - hence the shortage of guards in town). The [I]Consecration of the Cathedral [/I]was called off until the next day and would be held alongside a funery service for the 11 residents that died, inc: Risa's daughter Lanalee and the town's chief street sweeper. In a double blow, [I]Risa's Place [/I]was badly burnt during the raid. The PCs gathered at the [I]Rusty Dragon [/I]for a lot of free ales where they were hailed the [I]Saviours of Sandpoint[/I]. Aldern Foxglove's compliments to Antonio were accompanied by lots of drinks and Aldern had to retire. PCs agreed to meet at the [I]Rusty Dragon [/I]again the next day. Many also spent time at the Cathedral and [I]Risa's Place[/I] helping out. Antonio had another admirer and was lured to the basement of the [I]General Store [/I]by the daughter of the owner. He barely got out of the situation (having resisted/ignored the girl's advances) when the father arrived, . PCs also met with the Sheriff and Father Zantus and learnt that the grave of the previous priest (and his adopted daughter) had been robbed. Ended with PCs accepting an invitation to go on a boar hunt with Aldern as well as conduct some investigations into the missing remains and why the goblins are united. [/QUOTE]
