Session 01: Find that Dwarf!

General Summary

We meet our party as they gathered for a breakfast at Kuno Höger's Scary Barrel Inn. As the party enjoyed their meal, a town guard approached them and advised them that Herr Gaston Lichter is ready for them and that they should proceed post haste. The party expressed little interest in rushing to meet the governmental figure and proceeded at their own pace to The Rittergut where they were given their first task - Locate and recover Thavut Tulgath from the Wengmar Mines. The party was advised that a previous group of guards had been sent out to recover him but had not returned back for quite some time. The State has secured a small reward for completion of the task, a sum of 100 Crowns (GP) that Ylir Tulgath, Thavut's father, has scrounged up. It's not much, but it's all he has, and the state is unable to contribute on top of that. The party was instructed to secure horses at the Dayspring Stable, prepare for the approx. 3 day journey to the Wengmar Mines in whatever way they see fit, and then sent on their way.

The party purchased supplies, briefly spoke with Ylir Tulgath who explained the situation to them in greater detail. His son had heard of the Armor of Invulnerability which was rumored to be lost in the Wengmar mines, and Ylir thinks that Thavut's gone there to retrieve it himself. The party next went to the Dayspring Stable, found Nial Ismay in a less than sober state and easily convinced her to loan five horses for free simply by telling her that Herr Lichter had said to.

The party took the main road to the east along the southern edge of the Tangled Forest, camped for the night without any problems, and continued the next morning along the road. Upon reaching the point where the road passes between the Tangled Forrest and the Llanrwstyn Vale, they were met by a band of bandits who were still dressed in what appeared to be Auterwich Guard uniforms. They demanded a toll but were quickly and easily intimidated by Morgana wreathing her hand in illusory flame. Continuing along the road through the forest, the party camped for the night and were beset upon by forest goblins and their spiders. The spiders were crushed without much difficulty, and the goblins ran for their lives, leaving the party to complete their rest without any other interruptions.

Upon the morning of the third day, the party passed what appears to be a battleground and saw shapes shambling among the remains. They hurried along past that awfulness without delay and reached the Wengmar Mines just before sunset, peeking inside the cave just enough to encounter some Giant Rats and a Spider Rat which latched onto Squig's face! Our session left off with them taking a long rest as it was the end of the day anyway.
