Campaign 1 session 1

Ossie, Theodor, Brae and Mundo sit down at a table at Willis' Inn & Tavern, located in the town of Cleyden, in the state of Danos, in the Republic of Kinsia. Not being well acquainted, they introduce themselves to each other. Theodor is a local in town, who is a miner at the local quartz mine, and he spends a lot of time gambling. He is a 30 year old human male, who has learned to become a wizard during his life. Brae is a 102 year old half-elf druid, who was born in a small fishing village called Brae in the elven state of Sildarin. Brae is very tall, very slim and very pale. Brae has travelled a lot, and ended up recently in Cleyden. Mundo is a young 18 year old halfling rogue with a mohawk who recently arrived in town. He spends a lot of time in this tavern. Ossie is a 27 year old pink haired gnome, who works at Adolfs forge in town. Before that he lived as a hermit in the woods. Ossie lost both her parents at a young age. Ossie also likes to drink a lot of alcohol.

On May 1 3135, the party meets in the tavern. The party begins to talk, and they begin to play dice against each other for drinks. Willis then approaches the party and asks what they would like to drink. Theodor casts Charm Person on Willis and tells him to pay for their drinks. Willis is charmed, and brings them a barrel of beer. After a while a miner called Pekka comes to talk to Theodor, and they discuss their work at the mines. Pekka tells Theodor that there was a problem at the mine this evening when they were ending their day, because suddenly a scary noise was heard from within the mine. Nobody has dared enter the mine since. Theodor and Pekka agree that Pekka will raise some money among the miners for a reward, but that Theodor should speak to foreman Seppo for an actual reward.

The party steps outside into Cleyden, a medium sized active port-side town with lots of minerals, wheat, vegetables and fish being exported. There is a lack of guards and other military personnel currently because of the war in the south between the Kinsian state of Keris, and the country of Merziin. The party head to Seppo's house. Seppo and the party agree to a sun of 8 gold, which Seppo pays now.

The party head out of the town through the eastern gate and head for the mine. Before reaching the gate, they encounter lord John Beistor walking angrily. Lord Beistor trips on a rock, picks it up,throws it away, and curses about how everything is going to hell today. The party don't mind him and continue out of the gate towards the mine. Ossie has been pushing around the barrel of beer this whole time, and leaves it on the side of the road. Mundo tells the party of his past, and that he arrived here in Cleyden trying to find a magical bottle that someone has stolen from him.

At the mine, the party investigates the entrance to the mine, and find many footprints. They also see that the mine is dark. Mundo lights his lantern, and they head inside. Inside the mine they encounter a Black Bear at the end of the mine. They defeat the bear, and afterwards another bear appears from where they came from. They defeat this bear as well.

As they come outside, the sun has gone down. The party decides to go back to town anyway. The gates are closed, but the guards let them in. Brae and Ossie don't have a home in town, so they go sleep in Theodor's house. Mundo lives at the docks in a small hut and goes to sleep there.
