Stepped onto the dock heading for the city in the first day of the new campaign. DM had prepped the entire Freeport campaign for weeks ahead of time.On the dock, before we even set foot on land to begin the first session, the DM casually describes some Orcs on a pirate ship at the docks, unloading some goods.Gnome Paladin senses evil. So, riding his wardog, without any warning at all, he charges up the gangplank and attacks!The rest of us look at each other stunned as the DM asks what we all do in initiative order. So...we sigh and charge too!We all figured OK, we're going to have to roll up some new characters before we get to even play these new ones. But no! We're all rolling superb. The orcs are going down one after the other. The cleric is keeping most of our guys from going down (though not the gnome who is too far ahead). Before you know it, we've won! Though..the gnome paladin did die. Town guard is on their way in the distance. One of the party members is trained in sailing. We look at the pirate ship...at the guard in the distance...and we cast off.DM just shakes his head, tosses the adventure to the side, and grabs another one. We're off to a sea adventure now, and eventually an island, and it turns into an epic campaign.</blockquote>
