− | Our story begins in [[Wydmoor Free City]] on the 28th day of [[Wintercusp]] in the year 1400 [[FI]]. A group of travelers, all recent arrivals to the city, are summoned by Captain Odenthorpe, who offers them a lucrative, yet discreet, job opportunity. Shortly thereafter, Kimika, a long time resident of the city, joins the party under an assumed name and joins the quest.

− | I had a great time! I hope you all did, too. Excellent role play all

− | around, especially the most recent briefing with Edrell. Excellent job
| + | |
− | with the Scag, as well, I'm proud of ya'll! That battle was no joke
| + | |
− | (CR 5), and for the first time all of the players really hit their
| + | |
− | niche on the battle field, to say nothing of some key actions in the

− | clutch. He had a base +9 to hit, with 3 attacks (d6+6x2, d6+3) with
| + | |
− | close to 70 hitpoints and 5 regen and was a CR5 encounter. When all
| + | |
− | was said and done, he'd regenerated something like 70 hit points,
