The First Session

Our game begins in the town of Shadowdale, in the northwestern territory of the Free Lands in the continent of Suran. In the weeks following an invasion of the northern kingdoms of Everleaf, Lyria, and Draconia by the Ebonyborn armies, refugees flee to the Free Lands in hope of making it to safety, possibly making it to Midfall. For various reasons, our heroes, Aoth Nathandem, Shag McCracken, The Duke of Uke, Yief-Grier, Nul, and Halrek, also known to the DM as The Motley Crew (no affiliation), have all been brought together to the town, and meet in the Drunken Cardinal, the local tavern.

After various odd introductions, they each individually made their way to Shadowdale Keep, a small guard post a short trip from the city where Dave runs a job center and bounty board. They were instructed to find the wizard Chariz. After speaking to him, they were sent on a mission to find his assistant Fared and eliminate whoever took him.

Upon investigating, they discovered a group of Lizardfolk, who Aoth quickly scared off. They freed Fared, and chased the Lizardfolk to a second location.
