Session 1 - Journey to Respite

12/26/15

• Vurt, Nelu, and Mira met with Stedd the trader in Mirabar, and after celebrating the Feast of the Moon, ventured north to Respite.
• Nelu and Mira established that they had celebrated together during the Feast of the Moon.
• On the journey, Stedd and Mira spoke about their histories. Stedd comes from Luskan, has two children, and has been a trader most of his life. He gave the impression that he likes to get away from his family and travel alone.
• On the road, the party was waylaid by three wandering gibberlings, which were quickly dispatched, mostly by Vurt’s axe. (Mira helped.)
• The party met and tipped the stableboy Horn, with Mira insisting that he take very good care of her horse. (Very good care.)
• Inside, the party spoke with Hadrin and Andrin. It was discovered that Respite has mustered a small force recently, which failed to overtake the kobolds. The kobolds seemed too prepared, and Hadrin was suspicious. The injured were being cared for in the Mayor's House. They recommended setting out in the morning, as kobolds abhor light.
• The party was warned of Eadol, the overtall, morningstar wielding kobold, and Kurikkik, their leader and sorcerer.
• Arvenne made a request to the party: return her fallen husband's (Randal) locket to her.
• Arvenne had a negative reaction to Vurt's heartless response.
• Arvenne had a positive reaction to Nelu's caring response.
• Rooms were offered for the night as recompense.
• Rooms were offered in perpetuity if the locket is brought back.
• A meal of stale bread and cheese was had.
• Party met with priestess in the Mayor's House and spoke to Eadol's victim after Nelu healed him to consciousness (name is in my written notes).
• Strong favorable reaction to Nelu.
• The healed man left for his farm, promising they were always welcome.
• The party spoke with the priestess Talindra, who recounted her dream of Kurikkik, tearing off his red scales and screeching at a starless sky.
• Nelu noticed a brief, scornful look from Talindra directed at the injured. She shared her suspicions with Mira.
• The priestess offered her blessing. Nelu and Mira noped out. Vurt accepted it.
• Storm and Edward were introduced to one another. Storm restrained herself from consuming Edward.
• As Edward squawked the party awake, the smell of cooking wafted from downstairs.
