Having Already generated 1st level characters, the new group set about introducing one another by giving brief descriptions of ourselves. Some had given this before on the forum and a few had not yet been able to but all went smoothly as the intros were well done and kicked off with some great Role Playing
Party:
"Handsome" Luke- Half-Orc Fighter - Mild Mannered with a very good outlook on life and the world, seeming not to let anything get him down. (Luke stands about 6'8" tall. He looks a little flabby, but he's strong and tough as nails. He has long black hair, tied in a braid, but with a receding hairline up front. He has an unkempt black beard. His face betrays his orcish heritage quite strongly, and looks pretty busted-up too. He wears a brown leather hat with a wide round rim, and well-worn traveling clothes. He carries a big rucksack and a two-handed sword. He mostly acts reticent and polite, and speaks in a low voice.)
Rolan (rO laan)- Half-Elf Paladin of Tymora - Son of a full blooded elven Knight of Tymora, Rolan was trained by his Uncle Luthain. Set out in the world and seeking to do good by helping others and protecting the weak.
Dayereth (Day-err-ethh) Eladrin Wizard - Little is known about him except he is wary and wise in battle and seemingly new to this world, striking wonder into others with his Whitish Purple eyes
Nadarresh (Nah-Darr-resh) - Dragonborn Ranger -7'2" tall and fully 360lbs Serving Bahamut and Milekki. He's gold in color his fine, bright scales almost seem to glow, setting him apart from a normal "lizardman". Raised by his human father and mother, he was raised in and around the woods, forrests, mountains and caves near Tyr, the past two years he served with a caravan of dwarves and humans as cook and general errand master. He seeks to keep the balance in Nature and would stop any who seek to harm it and the goodly dwarves, humans and other races who he considers as friends.
Aerandis (air-eND-dis) - Elven Ranger - From the city of Eytherash'ana (The Forests of the Bow-Makers), in a large expanse of woods roughly between the cities of Hilderbrand and Wyverndale. As the name of the city implies, a good proportion of the residents are trained as bowyers in addition to other necessary crafts.
As a child Aerandis was taught to make and use a bow. His mother gave him the child's name of Nailith'ah (crafty oak child) due to his amusing decorative carving. He carries the curved carving knife that she gave him at all times.
For the last several years Aerandis has been restless, looking to explore more of the world outside of his expanse of woods. Due to that, his elders decided to give him a few tasks. The first one is to travel to a specific grove dedicated to Obad-Hai, which is located near the Fey Fields. There he is to offer up his services for several years to the druids who guard the area, in particular a druid named Nerisella, who is a friend of the family. When his period of service is over, he is to return with some of the fine arrow-wood that the region is known for.
History: A young boy named Arkham had come upon a large caravan with a story of his kidnapped/missing fiancee named Candace and asked anyone and everyone for help in finding her. He mentioned a drunken Ogre, named Grim Jack, who was known only to steal ale and scare the locals but generally left them in peace. But now he had come to the village and asking for odd items such as certain herbs and candles and other seemingly odd requests.
Arendis sitting by the fire quickly rose and asked what others would join him, to be answered by Nadarresh who offered his help. Luke tipping his hat, stepped forward and asked if he could help as did Rolan. As Dayereth offered his help a large pack of nine wolves surprised us all except Arendis who quickly fired off both a warning and a volley of arrows as the beasts knocked several of us down. The others quickly recovered fighting tooth and nail and only Nadarresh seemed to back away, when the others realized he had no weapons on his person. Arendis quickly offered his sword as did Dayereth and the tide seemed to turn their way dispatching three of the wolves and sending the rest packing.
Unfortunately Arkham was the first victim of the wolves fury and in fact was dragged off by the beasts. A few of the party were injured and Nadarresh in going back to his caravan wagon found that all the other campsites had been attacked as well, some more than his group and with some having no survivors. He returned after gearing up and told the others of the other wolves who now totaled more than 50 in number and how his friend Kestik, a dwarf, was also taken. They tracked the beasts trail, following the blood trail left by Arkhams body and followed it west but as time went on the wolves split up and seemed to return to their lairs. Satisfied in their general direction the group decided to return to camp, rest up and decide in the morning where to travel.
