First Session: The Wreck

This is the very first session. The characters are:
Ruby: Woods(wo)man Healer
Farron: Dwarvern warrior
Castor: Mage
Joshua: Woodsman warrior
Dubbo: Debonair thief

Recent Events

  • Fierce looking man in a cloak walks to the viewing area and picks out 20 of you. Walks away without a glance back.

  • Slave market guards come and bustle you into wagons held by chains. From their comments, it seems like the ones going to the mines got the lucky straw.

  • Wagons rattle through the streets, driven by rough looking mercenaries.

  • Mercenaries push & prod you onto a large boat, notwithstanding the black ominous clouds in the sky.

  • Shoved into the hold, with barely enough room for the 20 to sit in. No windows, one door with a small window letting in a small patch of light. By it, you can see a small trough.

  • “Get comfortable, you'll be here for a while” snarls a guard. The door is slammed shut and locked.


The Voyage

  • Some time later, you feel the ship set sail

  • No way to mark the time, lose track of day or night

  • Every so often, a bucket of slop is passed through the door to eat. Other than this, no one interacts with you at all. You are all shackled together and occasionally sleep.

  • Time passes, the sea is incredibly rough. Somehow the ship survives.

  • The dream: fall asleep and dream of a little girl with golden hair and shining blue eyes. She implores you: Please help me, tonight the ship will be wrecked. You must escape and save me. If you don't escape, you will die.

And so the characters begin:
