[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6740391, member: 18333"] Session 1 Heading toward Greenest from Nashkel I knew Strix (a human wizard...who we think is beginning to dabble into the secrets of life, death and undeath) from Nashkel….Strix, battered and bruised, told me he had to get out of Nashkel so I (a wanderer by nature) joined Strix. He’s a strange man, but he, like I, believe in change, like the seasons, and I know he has no love for orcs; therefore we stand together. We met up with Mily (a Halfling rogue) and Grim (a Human fighter) who had seemed to be acquainted with each other. Mily very happy, curious Halfling – Grim, well….Grim….didn’t talk much. Then we worked a caravan together for about a 10-day, along with Brevick (a Dwarven fighter). Brevik spoke little, and when he did it was only a few words in his language. None of us could understand him. Nearing Greenest, we saw smoke rising and a creature that looked like a dragon circling over the town. We tried to stealthfully advance into the town, and were able to find a family (wife, husband, and 3 children) attacked by a 5 or 6 kobolds. The woman took a few blows and went down. I stabilized her with a prayer to Silvanus. We rescued them and calmed the fleeing husband. We gathered them together as Brevick hoisted the unconscious woman on his shoulder, and we moved as fast as we could toward the Governor’s Keep. On our way, we encountered two groups of kobolds with cultists. It seemed as if they were worshiping Tiamat, but we did not want to waste time searching them nor did we think twice about sparing their lives. We just needed to get to the keep as fast as we could. We fought and ran, fought and ran until we made it to the gates of the keep. Brevick, carrying the woman, ran like a possessed Dwarf straight at a group of foes as we used our ranged weapons to pick some of them off from further distance. We all had our share of kills. Strix even shot a burst of fire that killed a flying kobold (Urd) in mid air. Inside we were safe. We met with Governor Nighthill, Escobert the Red (Dwarf Castellan) and a Priest of Chauntea. We helped them tend to the injured and found out about the dragon attack and the kobold forces. Escobert and Brevick hit it off. I guess Brevick was actually speaking the Dwarven language, but none of us could understand him. In the meantime, the tale of our exploits were circulated around the keep. Brevick’s bravery, carrying the woman through battle, slowly began to reach legendary status. After a short rest, we gained back some of our strength. The priest we met even healed me so that I could keep my powers to use in defense of the keep. As we shared some food and ale, Escobert had a plan. We would use the sewers to sneak out of the keep in an attempt to find more scared, injured and/or panicked citizens, and bring them in to safety. We agreed. Sneaking down the sewers we were attacked by a couple of rat swarms. Mily did an amazing acrobatic flip on to some floating boxes to cross the sewerway to begin the fray – impressive. Soon, both Grim and I were covered with the hungry vermin. Grim nearly went down as the rats gnawed through his armor, but then with a second wind he killed the last rats that clung to my armor. I tried to kill the others on Grim, but Mily had to finish the job. End of Session Comments: During the 1 1/2 hour session each PC did his or her thing. I tried to add at least one special thing each PC did into the narrative (although there may have been more that have gone unrecorded). The background material is very important for establishing the feel and roleplaying backdrop for our session. Beginning with immediate bonds and relationships really helps. Even though we survived 4 combat encounters in a single day (and we are currently continuing) we all felt the danger. Honestly, we wanted more than anything to avoid encounters, especially after we rescued the family. We look forward to continuing our adventure! [/QUOTE]
