Session 1: The Riddle and The Law

General Summary

The party began with further discussion of the riddle, having appeared in the Hemlock Hearth by magic.
  Some minor shopping in town followed, before the group departed to the south by a main road.
  After a few hours of travel, conflict broke out amongst the group, ostensibly over a misperception of a gesture with a weapon. The brawl only ended when the cleric declared that anyone who continued fighting would not be healed.
  The group continued, eventually coming upon an ancient oak tree set at a fork in the road. While the main road continued to the south, a branch headed west towards the mountains. Within sight, it crossed a bridge spanning a moderate river, before disappearing into a dense woods.
  The group spent some time investigating the magic of the tree, before deciding to follow the path, indicated by a flash of light as the sun set over the western mountains.
  (Long Rest)
  Entering the woods in the morning, the group discovered a magical effect where things turned to night immediately upon stepping across the threshold into the woods. The group explored further in, and did some foraging for herbs and small game. The group figured out that the initiate medallions could be used as a sort of compass, indicating a south-westerly direction with pulsing light when held.
  Achuro went striding off into the woods, leaving the party behind while they rested. Some 200ft in, he came across a pack of wolves, who attacked the easy prey without support. Some of the party went to help, upon hearing the sounds of spells and screams. Achuro was downed, as was Carnage. Both were healed after the wolves were dispatched. (Death throws came down to the wire).
  Following another rest, the group continued deeper into the woods, ending at the discovery of another issue: a different, darker type of wolf prowling the pathway...
