Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aoric" data-source="post: 5674809" data-attributes="member: 6675096">Ok the first session kicked off on the Bissel campaign. Below is a summary of what occurred.   Planting 5th, 590 CY The game began with in the center of Thornward, a middle ground  patrolled by recruits of the Knights of the Watch. Merchants are  peddling their wares, in the upper left portion of the cities center are  a few entertainers all of Baklunish decent. Baklunish merchants peddle  their wares exclusively in this section.  One entertainer steps out from the rest he is a puppeteer, and many  people mostly Baklunish have gathered to see his performance.  A commotion not to far in the distance disrupts the flow of the town  center, people run ,children flee when all is said and done two  guardsmen arrive at the scene.  Three lie dead two Baklunish males and one non-Baklunish male with a curled mustache.  Two young Oeridian's were watching the puppet show with a bit of a  curiosity and disgust at the same time. Though they showed concern for  the deaths of the three men even though two were Baklunish.  Two priests were handing out symbols of the Traveler one young and of  Baklunish decent the other older and more traveled a native of the  Sheldomar Valley it seems.  Well a young Baklunish man speaking a form of low Baklunish screamed  that his friends were killed they were students not soldiers.  The guardsmen thought he was trying to start a riot the puppeteer, and a  tall Oeridian male interjected the guardsmen informing them that thee  man meant no harm he was concerned and mourning his dead friends.  The young priest quickly went to the bodies to see if he could save any  of them, much to his disappointment all three were dead.   As the guards men tried to disperse the crowd which grew angry and  frightened, Two Orange furred creatures adorned in metal lamellar with  curve hilted blades at their waists entered the scene.  The two brutes wearing armband with the symbols of the Ketish nation  demanded the bodies of the Baklunish be given to them.  Well the guardsmen infuriated by the incursion, told the creatures their nation was told to keep them out of the center of town.  As the scene seemed to intensify A short Oeridian woman who accompanied the Oeridian male readied her bladed pole arm.  The puppeteer shouted at the creatures to leave, as the guards needed to  clear the crime scene, to which one of the creatures stared at him and  threatened to jail the puppeteer.  More creatures advanced on the scene A larger one stared down the  guards, the guardsmen drew their weapons.  As the large humanoid  shouted, "Give them to us or you will regret it" in a harsh tone. He  disarmed both guardsmen with one swath from his brutish hand.  "You are weak give them NOW!" exclaimed the Beast. At this moment the puppeteer drew a long thin blade.  Then a lone figure adorned in black , wearing black leather armor with a  symbol of tentacles on his chest and the insignia of Bisssel displayed  on each shoulder interjected.  "Herhtru leave this place now, or face the Black Brigade".  Meanwhile another figure adorned in black approached the puppeteer and  whispered to him "you will not need that". As the puppeteer looked  around more than twenty men and women all in black lined the place.  The Large creature fiddled with the handle of his blade and replied  "Tarquin this ain't over we will finished this at another time".  He  then barked orders for his creatures to retreat.  The Black Brigade ushered the crowd away as their leader retrieved the guardsmen weapons for them.  The young priest consoled the baklunish male who lost his friends. The  young man confided in the priest that he wanted those responsible to see  justice.   The young priest replied that they would, to which the puppeteer echoed  the statement. The young priest sort to inquire the aid of the Blacks by  approaching their leader.   The Blacks leader declined stating he would leave such things in the  capable hands of the priest. The Blacks leader then yelled out, "Until  the March is free" he and his brigade quickly existed the area after  clearing out much of the crowd that had assembled.  The two oeridians overhearing the young baklunish mans pleas for justice, agree to aid in bringing the men to justice.  Two more guards men arrive each with a cart, one carries away the two baklunish males, the other carries away the mustached man.  Shortly after a strange fellow apparently present during the whole  encounter approaches the group of four assembled by the young baklunish  man.  He states he overheard some of the conversation and might be able to  steer them in the right direction. The puppeteer is first to question  the validity of the statement.  "You see one of the victims was a friend of mine" the strange fellow  explains. He shows them a scroll case that was given to him shortly  before his friend was slain. "Laris left  me a message to meet up with  him some where and since it is his last wish I will do so."  To wish the  young priest asks the stranger if he can view the message. The stranger  quickly replies, "it is incoded and would be of little use to you,  however if you would like my assistance then we can all move on to the  Bissel sector."  The party of five apparently exchange some pleasantries, then the young  baklunish man thanks them for their help and tells them where they can  contact him. In a low baklunish dialect he tells them he is a student at  the Velunese school of studies in the Veluna sector, he tells them to  ask for Safet Abu-Fakher.  The strange man with the scroll case tells them they are off to the  Bitter Breach. The party questions why the Bitter Breach? To which the  stranger replies, "because that is where Laris instricted me to go and I  owe him that much to follow up on it.  Ok the game pretty much broke there.  The young priest is called Ahmad, and he is a priest of Fharlanghn,  The puppeteer is called Ishaaq, and he was the most out spoken to defend Safet the baklunish student.  The short oeridian woman is Sienna, and she is a pole-arm wielding fighter.  The tall oeridian is her brother Brevel, and he is a wizard trained in  the arts arcane and volunteered his and Sienna's aid in the  investigation.  The strange man is a tall Flannish male named Andre, the one holding the scroll case and the only lead in this case.  The players are free to describe themselves in this thread. Here's  hoping they do our next session will be on September 16th as the priest  has to honor his duties to our country.  Until the March is free, AoricP.S.
