Session 1: A Chaotic Arrival

General Summary

Departure from the Narwhal

22nd of Lathian, 3311 AtF
In the late afternoon, the Narwhal spots a person floating in the surf of the ocean. Turning to pick up this unlucky person, some of the shipwrights assist in lowering and raising the rowboat. First we meet Suri Ironglove, as she single handedly lowers a rowboat to the water.   Shortly after, a large loxodon named Mustafa attempts to assist in the raising of the boat. The drifter is quickly put in the brig, as captain Handred Strongnose doesn’t trust her. We later find out that this half-drow goes by the name of Evelyn.   We shortly get introduced to the mishmash of persons; Althaea, a wood elf bounty hunter with a blood hawk companion named Erik. Gandant Thorngage, a halfling with temper management issues but an interest in all things ancient and undiscovered.   Shortly after, at the dinner held in Captain Strongnose’s quarters, we meet the mechanic “lifeform” of Cerebral-0-Test | Reimagniner Xenogenesis (C0R-TX) which asks the others to join in the adventure to learn and discover the unexplored Primordia.   The party, now formed, gets told that they are welcome at the Rusty Cup in Anchorage, where Handred’s father; Trawn Strongnose, is the barkeep. As the party enters the tavern they speak with Trawn “Bobcat” Strongnose. They learn that it would be his birthday on the coming day and are all invited.

Old Bobcat's Birthday

23rd of Lathian, 3311 AtF
On the following day, the party went and explored town and the surrounding area, they spent the night celebrating Trawn with the rest of town. After the party had wandered around the town, they went to the old watchtower, to do a bit of exploring. C0R-TX, proceeded to summon a small white horn owl he called Anton. With Anton, C0R-TX investigated the top of the tower, whilst his own body was still on the ground, with the rest of the party. He saw some footprints and a bed that looked like someone had been sleeping in the tower. The party concluded that it seemed odd, but went back to the Rusty Cup to celebrate Trawn’s birthday.

Short end for Shortbow

24th of Lathian, 3311 AtF
Around 7am the party was awoken / startled by the sound of shouting. Rushing outside, they saw the boy Tommen Lonewood who was shocked and pale as a ghost. After a little coercion, the child could simply say “The tower”. The party ran there and saw the corpse of Silas “Shortbow” Nelson.   After a round of incredible investigation, they figure out that a total of four people were involved in the murderer, one of which of course was Shortbow.   The party spent the entire rest of the day figuring out all the ins and outs of the different inhabitants of Anchorage. Seemingly uncovering some plot involving the bakers and sawdust, troubles between the town priestess Elena and the candlemaker Simon Knott. The mysterious amnesia of Dirk Stalanger and lastly; the murder plot of Anabelle Havion to kill her husband.   The party figured out that she (Anabelle) was the conniving small set of footprints at the crime scene, having seemingly coerced Dirk to attempt the murder of Lord Mallark Havion II. The party managed to stop Dirk in the last hour and they escaped the estate.   The final half-hour of the day was spent understanding Casandra and Dirk’s part of the puzzle, finally finding out that they are in love and that Dirk is actually a doppelganger. As the clock struck midnight, the party left Casandra’s house and went towards the Rusty Cup, to rest up, before attempting to solve this problem.
