− | * Artemis, an elven | + | * Artemis, an elven Rgr2, originated from the forest of [[Meamnar:Ethlariel|Ethlariel]] in the kingdom of [[Meamnar:Thelbane|Thelbane]]. His home village was decimated three years ago by a horde of undead creatures. Who or what drove the horde is still unclear, but Artemis has dedicated himself to the task of finding and punishing whoever is responsible. After vowing this, he received a vision in which the goddess Sehanine Moonbow commanded him to find a magical flail known as Lichbane. |
− | * Borlack, a dwarven Ftr1/ | + | * Borlack, a dwarven Ftr1/Clr1 of [[Meamnar:Azard|Azard]], has left the dwarven city of [[Meamnar:Azgrimlode|Azgrimlode]] in the Serpent's Spine to search for an artifact called Heldak's Bracers. These magical bracers were crafted and worn by Heldak of [[Meamnar:Azard|Azard]], the warrior-priest who founded Azgrimlode many centuries ago. It is customary for young priests in Azgrimlode to take up such quests, but quite rare that one would vow to recover this important artifact. In the history of the city, only three have tried and none returned. |
− | * | + | * Garrett, a halfling Rog1/Wiz1, is from the village of [[Meamnar:Rhone|Rhone]], in the western hills of [[Meamnar:Hylar|Hylar]]. Some time ago, he came across the journal of his great-great-grandfather, Baldo, who went missing over two centuries ago. Its last pages described Baldo's preparations for a journey which would take him to the tower of the wizard Eerevann, in search of an artifact called the Wandering Door. Intrigued, Garrett has decided to follow in his ancestor's footsteps and find the Wandering Door. |
− | * | + | * Faeryn, a half-elven Brd2, grew up in the city of [[Meamnar:Hylar_City|Hylar]], and was trained at the Academy of Arts there. During his studies, he discovered some genealogical records which proved that he is a descendant of the great bard Montaine. He also learned of Montaine's famous ring, crafted by an elven king, which (according to legend) could only be worn by a member of his family, but which was lost when the bard died. Faeryn seeks this ring, both for its powers and as a personal tribute to his ancestor. |

The group begins the campaign in the town of [[Meamnar:Threshold|Threshold]]. Over the course of several days sharing drinks and stories in the common room of the Threshing Floor inn, they conclude that their paths are strikingly similar and that it would be in their mutual best interest to join together and pursue each of their causes collectively. | The group begins the campaign in the town of [[Meamnar:Threshold|Threshold]].

− | + | *** 01 - While studying Baldo's journal, Faeryn recognized the order to which the wizard belonged. He is fairly certain that another member of this order, the [[Meamnar:White_Circle|White Circle]], lives in one of the villages to the west. Therefore, the group decides to set out for the first of these villages, called [[Meamnar:Dunkirk|Dunkirk]]. Near dusk, they come upon a caravan that has been ambushed. They soon pick up the trail of a group of goblins, and within a few hours discover a cavern into which the goblins have fled. They explore the cavern, which is likely of dwarven design, and defeat the goblins, acquiring a Wand of Magic Missiles in the process. | |
− | + | *** 02 - The group finally rests, late into the night, in one of the rooms of the cavern. They conclude their search of the cavern, and decide to rest again before departing. | |

The two, a human and a duergar, enter the cavern and then reappear moments later, with the duergar carrying a suspicious bundle that he did not have before. They decide to confront the pair, at which point there is a brief fight before the human and duergar flee the scene. With the two gone, the party returns to the cavern to find the wand-wielding goblin's corpse has been decapitated. The group continued on to Dunkirk, arriving late in the afternoon. After inquiring with Sir Nazar about the identity of a wizard of the White Circle, they were directed to Calduran, where the lord's sage would likely either know of or be that wizard. They spent the night at the Sudsbucket. |

While there, they were arrested by the town guard and taken to Calduran Keep, where they were confined in the dungeon. After some resistance by members of the party, the group eventually resigned themselves to spending the night in prison. |

In exchange for infiltrating the town's thieves' guild and reporting on whatever major crime it was about to undertake, they would be paid one hundred gold coins per person. The group accepted, and were released the following morning. By virtue of a 'hot' piece of jewelry provided to them by Mortimer, they were eventually able to contact the apparent leader of the guild, Robert the Smith. Robert hired them for a guild operation to occur during the evening of the following day. |

As they passed the time in the tavern, Borlack recognized a fellow dwarf from [[Meamnar:Azgrimlode|Azgrimlode]] who had left the stronghold under suspicious circumstances. Nonetheless, he paid the dwarf and his unknown human companion no heed. They also heard several rumors regarding the discovery of a dead man somewhere within the town earlier in the day. Evening eventually came, though, and the group went off to meet Robert at the agreed location, a stable. Once there, they followed him to the manor of one of the most prominent citizens of Calduran. Borlack and Artemis stood watch outside, while Robert, Faeryn, and Garrett entered the home. They found no one inside, which seemed to surprise Robert. Upstairs, soon after he left Faeryn and Garrett alone in a bedroom, a fire broke out within the home, and they were forced to flee, but not until after searching most of the house unsuccessfully for Robert. Once regrouped and safely away from the home, the party determined that their best alternative was to return to Calduran Keep. With nearly every guard in the city attending to the blaze, the keep was vacated, and the group was soon in the courtyard where they discovered the human associate to the dwarf they saw in the tavern. He was nearly in a second-story window when the group fired upon him and brought him to his death. While gaining entry themselves, they were attacked by Robert and two prisoners that he had freed from the dungeon below. Robert was quickly disabled, and Borlack was left to attend to the other two thugs while the rest of the group entered the keep in search of the dwarf. The ensuing chase eventually led to the rooftop, where the dwarf finally fell from a volley of arrows. |
