The Merchant Caldwell

Session II A Familiar Situation and the Job 3/17/365- 3/25/365

The group decides to use the wizard Varkus's underground lair as a base of operations. A very nasty spider is found during the cleanup phase, and we have our first instance of friendly fire when Xavier gets a bit torched for his troubles by an errant throw from our friendly neighborhood sorcerer. Two skeletons are dispatched as well.

Owing to the unusual circumstances of the kidnapping, the party undergoes some fact-finding, each according to his or her talents. Thus the first trip to the Goat Market, the prison and Lord Caldwell. Varkus is interrogated before facing trial, and the mysterious name Garinor comes out. Garinor is apparently a big name in the Thieves' Guild in Norin.

A visit to the up and coming merchant Clyve Caldwell shows that the Lady Sylvia was abducted while a guest at his estate. During this visit, the party helps a delivery boy from getting into too much trouble by rounding up his loose animal charges. The rather ill-mannered house wizard Eliat, shows his colors by treating the boy and the party like something the dog dragged in. Eliat offers the party Caldwell's appreciation and wishes to hire them to eliminate a group of goblin bandits squatting in a Castle that he has recently purchased.

Outside Castle Caldwell the party ambushes four goblin sentries and captures them. After witnessing the four interact prior to capture, the party decides the cleverest of the goblins (and perhaps the least malicious) could serve as a guard over the others. His name is Ignak, and later he will prove himself invaluable, once he gets that he will prosper more for working with the party than against it. The assault on the Castle awaits....

The Adventure Begins...Kidnap!

As this is the beginning and we need to catch up, I will be abbreviating these blogs. I'm still working on the format here, so the setup is subject to change.

Session I The Lady Sylvia is kidnapped! 3/16/365-3/17/365

Party meets by fortune at the gnomish brewer Silvermane's inn and tavern in the port city of Kelron and catches a couple of thugs making off with a conspicuous looking sack. The party waylays the duo and rescues the abducted Lady Sylvia, cousin to the King of Ghyr. Through thorough questioning before the guards arrive to cart the pair away, it is learned that they are in the employ of a wizard named Yarkus. A ruse is devised where our sorcerous elf E' Doc poses as our Lady of Burlap and the group poses as the kidnappers. A secret lair is discovered under a fountain in the street. Encountered along the way is the wizard's pet rust monster (Rusty, of course) and the invisible wizard in his alchemical lab. The party emerges victorious.

Welcome Gamers

This is our groups' first gaming blog. Currently we are involved in two campaigns, a DND game that meets roughly every two weeks, and a Saga edition Star Wars game that has just one session under its belt. As the DM of these games, I'll endeavor to get our readers up to speed so that we have a record of events, and I'll post any news or announcements along the way. For now, this is just a post to get the site going.
