Session 1 - The Sinking of the Arktwend
General Summary
11th The Melting, 2063 EC
The party began their journey aboard The Arktwend, a transport ship destined for Giniseve Reborn. The crew consisted of four members along with Captain Sudun Fentus.
The passengers aboard were Morda Shang, Toth Talcaryn, Faephine Liamoira, Parmenion Vesqand, Delrora of the Blessed Coin and a druid named Wanklicus.
Shortly before arriving at its destination, the ship sailed through the wreckage of another and the crew rescued a Halfling from the water. This halfling came aboard, frightened, handed Morda Shang a package and hid below deck. The package contained a strange red stone and a note.
Soon after, an unnatural storm hit the ship - proceeding an attack from a giant squid. In the attack, there was a rush for the lifeboats. Parmenion Vesqand killed two crew members before they could take a lifeboat, potentially leaving the passengers behind. One crew member was killed by the squid. Faephine Liamoira and Captain Sudun Fentus were knocked unconscious by a poorly executed spell on Wanklicus's behalf. The halfling never managed to escape from below deck and was also killed by the squid.
The survivors managed to escape, washing up on the west coast of Voswiadul. They camped a short distance inland and during the night Sudun and his one remaining crew member left.

The following morning the remaining group encountered a man who had washed up on the shore nearby. This man vanished via magical means.
The group then headed inland towards a tower that they could see over the treeline, which was inhabited by a tribe of goblins - one of which had tried to pickpocket Delrora of the Blessed Coin earlier that morning. Morda Shang and Toth Talcaryn held back from the group, following at a distance.
From the top of the tower, Faephine Liamoira was able to see a farm further inland, a couple of hours walk away. Beyond it, she could see what looked like a road.
At some point, something triggered the passage to the depths of the tower to open, causing the goblin tribe to flee. Out of curiosity, the group ventured below.
A winding staircase led to a long passage, which lit itself as they entered, magically. Parmenion Vesqand spotted a shadow of some sort move through the walls in this passage.
Deeper still, the group took one of two branching paths. They encountered a suit of armour, that Delrora of the Blessed Coin commanded to move aside. It did so.
The group then entered a larger room, filled with mysterious statues...
