Session I: The Hardened Journey Report

General Summary

The party set off west down the road toward Sharn, at a normal pace it would take them about a week to reach their destination. Accompanying them was, of course, the Sergeant and a sense of adventure as they continued onward with Fen leading march and Lina watching the rear.   On the first day of travel, the party ran into a group of young children who had just finished fishing by a nearby creek. They managed to catch 1 large fish which Fen purchased from them for 1 GP, then continued on. Later they decided to make camp, dining on what ever rations they had and the Sergeant told them more about the great city of Sharn. At night, during Rex's watch, he reflected on his past decisions and how got to where he was. During Fen's watch, he almost forgot where his hunting trap was in his pack. During Mariella's watch, she noticed an apple almost fall on Fen's head. Luckily, she caught it and was able to protect her teammate from the impact.    On the second day of travel, the party found a mighty tree that had most likely been there for hundred of years that had intricate and ancient carvings covering it's trunk. Fen could make out that the carvings told the story of these demonic overlords of long past that had attacked this forest but were fended off by ancient elves of this land. Later they decided to make camp, Lina and Fen deciding to go hunting and only Fen get's lucky and find 1 rabbit and a "wormwood" plant. They dined on whatever rations they had left and hit the hay, unfortunately some did not get the most restful sleep due to the Sergeant's constant loud snoring and bad gas. During  Mariella's watch, she noticed a flickering green flame in the distance then it subsided. Magic? Perhaps.   On the third day of travel, the party came across the remnants of what must've been an expensive cart lying just off the road. There were 2 dead skeletal remains and the long dead body of a horse scattered nearby. They found 3 GP and a set of leather armor amongst them. Lina and Rex then gathered their bodies and buried them and gave them and said a prayer to the Silver Flame. Later they decided to make camp, with Fen, Rex, and Lina going hunting for food and Mariella foraging for medicinal herbs. The hunting party manages to catch 7 rabbits and Mariella manages to find a coastal plant known as "sandvine". They dined on rabbit stew and find sleep. During Lina's watch, she noticed the stench of crude oil coming from her warforged friend, Nova and it seemed that Nova had an oil leak while sleeping and was very embarrassed. Nova then decided to keep watch, after the warforged had cleaned up, the night grew colder and the warforged began covering his party in extra linens and blankets. During Mariella's watch, she noticed Fen talking to himself in his sleep about proving himself.   On the fourth day of travel, it began to rain heavily as the party trudged their way through the muddy road, they came across a noble caravan who was stuck in the mud and broke one of it's wheels. The party managed to repair it was awarded 100 GP by the noble for their kindness. Later they decided to make camp while Rex and Fen hunt for more rabbits. The Sergeant goes on and on about the splendors of Sharn but also the dangers about shady folks from the lower wards. Rex and Fen returned with 6 rabbits, prepared and cooked them, then shared them with the party and prepared for bed. During Rex's watch, he heard the sound of a wounded animal, and stumbled upon a giant wolf whimpering, while it's front leg was caught in a hunting trap. He starred into it's eyes and made some sort of connection with it as he carefully released it's foot from the trap. The giant wolf left for a while then came back with 3 other little wolf pups revealing that the Giant wolf was, in fact, a mother. She left then let out a loud and powerful howl. Rex returned to camp to sleep. During Nova's watch he noticed Mariella begin to talk in her sleep as well about her past. The party woke sore from the rocky area they slept on.   On the fifth day of travel, the weather was mostly clear as the party was met by a band of traveling bards and musicians called Bardthawlemeuw and the Johnson Brothers who were singing and playing songs of old. The party directed them to the Sleepy Acrobat to preform. After their departure the party continued onward. Later they decided to make camp and settle for the night. Rex and Fen decide to go hunting and come back with 6 pheasants. They plucked and prepared them for cooking then shared the feast amongst their party until they were full then fell asleep. During Fen and Lina's watch, they both discovered a random trinket inside their packs. Strange? Then during Mariella's nightly watch she noticed a group of priests, wearing brown burlap cloaks, approach the camp and provide a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables at her feet as an offering from the goddess, Arawai.    On the sixth day of travel, it was somewhat cloudy, when the party was attacked by a tribe of 8 aggressive Orcs lurking in the nearby hills. A battle ensued, blows were dealt, shots were fired, but luckily the party came out victorious in the end. They managed to collect 5 PP from the orc's bodies and took a short rest as they could see the skyline of Sharn, the City of Towers in the distance.    Session End
