Session 1: Frog Games - An awkward meeting
General Summary
Our adventurers found themselves in Bard's Gate, the greatest city in the Akados Region and possibly, as the people of Bard's Gate would say, the whole of the Lost Lands. Some had found their way to Bard's Gate looking for adventure, some for wealth and for others.....well, the wind just blew them that way. The adventurers first came across each other in the Turlin's Well district of the city. To some of the party this city came as a culture shock, so many people, so many races! Noises, smells, exotic foodstuffs and music. Brother Tomas arrived with his entourage on a pilgrimage for his faith; a strange half-orc wearing fairy wings came to Bard's Gate out of curiosity and to experience new sensations and adventures; a elephant-headed humanoid from far off lands had found his way to the City of the Lyre during his wanderings and the last of the party was a small, cloaked creature who's true nature was hidden from the others, an enigma to be discovered later. The party met various residents of Bard's Gate after their arrival. Zedicha the coffin maker asked for help with tracking down the thief of some expensive coffin's she had made. The adventurers passed various shops, a baker, a whip-maker, weapons shops, a map-maker and more. Every trade could find a home in Bard's Gate. They even met the famous playwright Armando Levane and witnessed one of his plays being acted out at the the Velvet Curtain Playhouse. Unfortunately they also discovered the darker side of Bard's Gate after visiting the Plaza of Dark Pleasure and being waylaid by a few undesirables. The first afternoon in Bard's Gate ended with a trip to the Hanging Rose Inn, a pleasant establishment run by the jovial Goodman Furster and his three lovely daughters Trixie, Claudia, and Maggie. After a brief stop at the Inn Brother Tomas and Peasant headed off towards the Old Temple District whilst Tooth Fairy wandered off towards the Thieves Quarter, Snakehead tagged along for a while but decided to look around on his own.
