[sblock=Adventure: Get Me to The Church on Time]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.
13. Stop to rest in an abandoned (?) charcoal burner's hut.
14. Get to Church: wife/father-in-law sent Lord M on a wild goose chase, and don't want to marry him after all.
15. Find out true love Ismene is kidnapped, and we go to her rescue. Fight a bunch of goblins.
16. Rescue Ismene from dirty goblins, give lord mallaby a chance at true love, and collect rewards.

Not far behind the half orc comes a good looking human dressed in chainmail. A winter wolf skin adorns his shoulders, what appears to be a heavy mace hangs at his belt.

"I like the sound of the free drink. Maybe we can drink to celebrate this!"

He holds up a green dragon head.

"Hey where's Gil? This is his celebration. We wouldn't have ended up in that darn arena if it weren't for him."

OOC: Artemis Harks level 5 star pact hexblade ready for action.
 

The young half-elf who had been enjoying his own drink, graciously accepted the drink offered by the half-orc. One moment, he'd been sharing a drink with a lovely lady, the next, they'd all left the tavern. He wanted to go help the dwarf, but he wouldn't have been able to leave right away. He needed to consult with his father and he wouldn't have had the time.

"Thank you. I'd love to hear about your adventures. I'd never had a chance to leave the city myself."

OOC: Wat, level 1 half-elf wrathful invoker waiting for his chance to adventure.
 

"I like the sound of the free drink. Maybe we can drink to celebrate this!"

He holds up a green dragon head.

"Hey where's Gil? This is his celebration. We wouldn't have ended up in that darn arena if it weren't for him."

Bar keep! another fruit drink without the alcohol!
 

Heavy, metallic footfalls can be heard approaching the tavern before the door swings open to reveal a tall warforged. He walks into the bar and glances around. He begins to walk toward a table before being stopped by the bouncer, who points to the sign. A mechanical voice issues from around the area of the warforged's mouth, "I am called Graven."

OOC: My newest character - Graven - Level 1 Warforged Hybrid Swordmage/Wizard
 

Bar keep! another fruit drink without the alcohol!

Artemis hears Lerrick's distinctive voice. He makes his way over to her table.

"Lerrick! There you are. I know everyone made it off the Kolloseaum, but you're the first person I've seen back in the tavern.h How fare's it?"
 

"Lerrick! There you are. I know everyone made it off the Kolloseaum, but you're the first person I've seen back in the tavern.h How fare's it?"

Hey Artimes! Wow! The Kolloseaum was crazy. For a second there I thought we were in big trouble. Whew! She then looks around at the patrons sitting in the surrounding tables. Lerrick lowers her voice: I'm glad you came in here. Some of these people freak me out.
 


Artemis reads the note quickly, folding it back again and placing it back in its envelope.

"That Lilli. Off on an adventure." He looks thoughtful for a moment before coming back to himself.

"She's a bit like you, Lerrick. A glance would not reveal the heart and heroism that beats inside. Barkeep, an ale for me and something non-alcoholic for the lass, please."
