Every session one of the players - selected based on a d100 roll - makes notes. I am planning on publishing these notes here. The goal is to give an insight in what my players find important to note down, and they may even write down facts wrongly. Note that the original language is Dutch, and it's being automatically translated, so some things, like irony, might get lost in translation. Let me know if you are interested in following along! My plan is to add a session each day, until we catch up with our current sessions!Session 1 (7-10-2023): The Poison Apple and the SpyIt is December 31, and the weather is gloomy.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deep Gnome with purple skin. A little magic – Kruggli.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">An elf with pink hair, fairly large green eyes, and a cheerful appearance – Esta.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">An older human woman with a walking stick and a thick scarf – Anja.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A young man with dark hair and some armor - Will</li> </ul>We are all heading to the Poison Apple Pub.Threhan Zinner is the owner of the Poison Apple Pub, but he has been captured by the city guard. The inn is closed.He is going to be interrogated by the Ragesian empire.We are welcomed by Torrent, a human woman.In the inn, there is a statue of Emperor Drakus Coaltang.January 1The new year has begun; tomorrow is the Festival of Dreams.The Ragesian army will arrive tomorrow.Lyceum is a magical school in the south.The Scourge means that all magic users in Gate Pass must report themselves.Teleporting using magic strangely does not work.The city council wants to negotiate with the Ragesians.People with magic are being rounded up and sent to Ragesia.We must meet a contact tonight: Rivereye Badgerface, a gnome who has a briefcase with essential military intelligence. Rivereye is a spy for the Lyceum, who infiltrated the Inquisitors. He had a contact, Pepin Tolman, who was found dead a week ago.Goal: Retrieve the briefcase and then escape the city.Lyceum is in Dassem, in a village called Seaquen. Simeon is the head of the school.We can travel through the Fire Forest to reach Lyceum, using potions.Suddenly, someone tries to break into the inn. We engage in combat with a few people and orcs who want to turn us in for money because we are magic users (100 gp for each magic user turned in).We head towards the tower where Rivereye is.Along the way, there are many problems, as the city is in great chaos, and there are fires in several places.On the way, we are approached by a man looking for his baby weasel, 'Kiki'. It should have a collar with an address on it.Torrent has a safe in the tower.In the tower, Rivereye addresses Anja as ‘Pepin’. He walks to a locker and asks for the password. Anja obviously knows the password.Wyll opens the locker, but it blows up. Inside the locker, Wyll finds 3 gemstones and a bag. Rivereye runs away, and it turns out he is not really a gnome but a much larger creature (a medium humanoid) pretending to be Rivereye Badgerface. He escapes with the help of a Lantern Archon.The contents of the locker:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 large gemstone worth 100gp (a Chrysoberyl)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 smaller gemstones worth 50gp each (Jasper & Sardonyx)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A small bag with a staff inside, the Wand of Wonder</li> </ul>[ATTACH=full]382250[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]382251[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
