We completed our first session... of sorts, and got to have everybody talk about their characters! I hope you guys had fun talking about your characters and learning things about each other. So far, the story is that Ray (bard, Marshy's character) was walking home one evening when he was accosted by a group of brigands associating themselves with the Xanathar's Thieves' Guild, threatening him for his money and smashing his precious viol to get their point across. Fortunately, Enigma (monk, Kayne's character) and his friend Jalester Silvermane happened to be in the area, when they heard a scream and a bystander runs past, saying someone needs help. They take off down the street to assist! Coincidentally, Yuan (barbarian, Ludren's character) was looking forward to Ray's performance at the tavern that night, but noticed that he didn't show up like he usually does. Curious, he goes to investigate into the streets and happens upon the scene, seeing Ray being pinned in the alley. This gives the bandits enough pause and hesitation to allow Enigma and Jalester to also show up on the scene to corner the bandits. The thugs are easily driven off and dispatched and the day is saved! Luckily, nobody was hurt, save for Ray's poor Viol, but the team agrees to meet up later at the Yawning Portal to discuss recent events. Jalester encourages them to stick together, especially during these troubled times, as Ray just discovered the hard way. He stays behind to process the downed thugs for their arrest later. The next we meet, the team will be at the Yawning Portal sharing meals and drinks and stories! But chaos is due to strike once again... Sessions will start at every Friday on 8:00 PM Eastern Time / 7:00 PM Central Time / 5:00 PM WhatevertimezoneKaynelivesin Time, at the very latest. We might start a bit earlier if circumstances permit, but this time is the latest. Sessions are planned to run 3-4 hours, give or take depending on what's going on and how people are feeling about things. Hope to see you there!
