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 had mustered a small force recently, which failed to overtake the kobolds. The kobolds seemed too prepared, and Hadrin was suspicious.
• The party was informed that the injured were being cared for in the Mayor's House.
• Hadrin and Andrinn 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 the innkeeper made a request to the party: return her fallen husband's (Randal) locket to her. It is in a shape of a moon, which matches her crescent locket.
• 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 proceeded to the Mayor's House and spoke to Eadol's victim, Orl, after Nelu healed him to consciousness.
• Strong favorable reaction to Nelu.
• The healed man, Orl, 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.
