Session 1 - Kidnappings & Kobolds

General Summary

Two minds one body. Each of you was drugged and transferred from the world of Earth to Faerun. Combined there with a party of adventurers who’s last memory was of some mysterious black cloaked figures in tavern who rendered you all unconscious. Awakening on a hill outside of Manshaka you each had the memories and knowledge of two lives warring and combining inside you. Each two distinct individuals now combined into one. Shortly after awakening you found a note on the body of a black cloaked figure along with the tracks of the cart that likely brought you to hill leading back to Manshaka:   ——————————————————————   My servants of the Black Circle, on Hammer’s 3rd day use the candle to acquire the vessels, take them 3 hours walk east from Manshaka and find the completed receiving circle on the hill with the two blasted oaks. On the 4th day place the vessels in it’s center by the time the sun is two fingers above the daystar. Do this thing for me and soon all your darkest desires shall be yours.     ——————————————————————-   Deciding to head to Manshaka, you came upon a woman who had lost her baby and husband to Kobolds. In a nearby tomb you saved the baby from an unholy ceremony and defeated the Kobolds and the undead guardians that were all that remained of the tomb’s ancient occupants.   Arriving in Manshaka, it was not long before you were contacted by Valkas, Vizier to the Pasha. Hearing about your exploits and seeking help that was not connected with the city and so not infiltrated by the Thieves Guild, he has charged you with identifying the leader of the guild and their location. With the threat of a warrant for your arrest, alleging you robbed the woman who’s baby you saved. He has promised a pardon from the warrant and gold upon your successful completion of the mission. The only lead he has is that there is someone called “Hands” who may be able to get you in touch with the guild, using the fact that you are wanted by the Pasha to prove that you are genuine outlaws.   Valkas has bluntly hinted at a very unpleasant future for you should you not succeed in this mission. He shared that his agents will be in contact with you to check on your progress.   Will you be able to infiltrate the guild? Who is the black circle and what are their motivations for bringing you all to Faerun? Who is your “friend” on Earth that betrayed you? Who is the mysterious “A” who authored the note you found?
