DM Notes

Do not read as player between DM'ing sessions.

10/06/09 - Session I - Caravan Caper

Initial Notes

• Characters wake up in back of moving caravan cart.
• Last memory was being left for dead by raiders/bandits.
• Any prior acquaintances among party unknown at this point in time (no backstories yet)
• Couple of kids are also riding in the cart and before long a scuffle breaks out between a few members of both groups.
• Goblins involved actually manage to hold their own.
• One kid, bruised and screaming, stumbles out of the cart and goes down in an ungainly heap.
• This sufficiently alerts the remainder of the caravan, which pulls to a halt.
• Goblins flee like rats from cart, dodging and climbing to stay hidden.
• Some hide, some flee.
• Scattered melee ensues.
