Dungeon
Master (GM): What do you guys think? start
without half the party? have them be met at an Inn perhaps? Or wait another week to start, and
hope all the characters are made and set up by then? Duncan
Steelbeard: We can meet them at the Inn Dungeon
Master (GM): ok, with Chris and Devin? Estrel
Tol: I am ok with that - we just need to
realize there are only 3 of us. How are we supposed
to know each other Dungeon
Master (GM): you can dream that up as you are
walking towards the town and chit chatting with each other ok, so the party notices a poster
nailed to a nearby tree and it is a wanted poster for someone named Elgin the
Wolf, the reward being offered is 1,000 gold coins and signed by the Reeve of
Kellee Dominond go from there guys. Estrel
Tol: Not that it matters much, but where
on the map is Kellee? Dungeon
Master (GM): did you see the pinging that is
where the town is located Estrel
Tol: got it now. So we are (or have been
traveling over/through the mountains to the east)? Dungeon
Master (GM): you are on the Timori road,
traveling to look for work/adventure I guess that yellow road is the
Timori Dungeon
Master (GM): the blue is a river Estrel
Tol: So we are assumed to be
"natural residents" of this realm (as opposed to passing through a
mist from our "home world")? Dungeon
Master (GM): in this case yes though of course the mist can still
send you anywhere Estrel
Tol: ok.
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"So, Duncan, I guess we got pretty lucky. I am not usually comfortable
in towns, so having a job dropped into our lap is great. How hard could this
be?"
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"If we find Elgin may be some good coin"
Dungeon
Master (GM): anything from Devin's character
here?
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"Hope the Reeve has time to see us"
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"More than what I likely need to buy a horse to cut down on all this
walking over mountain passes!"
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Winks
and grins
Dungeon
Master (GM): of that i have no idea as i don't
have the Ravenloft campaign book set
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"You know how to FIND a Reeve in a town like Kellee?"
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"Should not be too hard, we can either start something, hehe or just ask
at the Inn"
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"Start something? Isn't there ALWAYS something "started" in a
town? That's why I like the peace of the woods!"
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"Like, I don't know, the MURDER of citizens of any otherwise quiet
town?"
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"Woods are too open, can be attacked from any direction, easier to watch
for trouble in a town."
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"Woods are quiet - you can hear folks coming. If you know what sounds
SHOULDN'T be there."
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"Too many places for trouble to hide in a town. All of it is
'unnatural'"
Dungeon
Master (GM): ok, now, so the party is strolling
along having seen the wanted poster, they continue onwards into the town of
Kellee as they conversed among themselves Dungeon
Master (GM): as you enter the town you see one of
it's occupants whom greets the party (To GM)rolling d20( 8 ) = 8
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"Good day Sir"
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
nods
in the direction of the townsperson
Dungeon
Master (GM): The fellow you see is only about
five feet five inches tall. He has black hair that is going gray at his temples.
He is in his early forties. He wears a red, knee length, velvet robe whose
collar, hem, and cuffs are lined with rabbit fur. Under his left arm he carries
a bundle of furs. he says, "Hello Folks!, Welcome
to Kellee!" I am Heardred."
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"Well met, Heardred. It would appear that you know a pretty good
trapper, eh?"
Duncan Steelbeard The Dwarf Fghter
Says,
"Hows things in your town?"
Herdred: says, "Know a good trapper? Why Yes, I'm am that
trapper! I am a furrier by trade. The town is fine just a little more on edge
than usual due to a few murders of farmers in the area."
Estrel Tol The Human Ranger
Says,
"A FEW ? How many is "a
few"?"
