Session 1: A Giant Problem Report

General Summary

After being invited to Uvys' 847th birthday, Eli, Pilgrim, Gnimble and Midnight all went on their respective ways to meet their old acquaintance. Reaching the island that the village of Belcrys lies on, they grouped up to ensure a safe journey for everyone.   They reached the village only to see it lie partially in ruins and started their investigation. Upon talking with the old man on the farms, the only remaining person still outside in the village, they found out that the village suffers from regular Orc attacks. Though the rocks seemed to have just fallen from the sky.   Upon wandering off by himself, Gnimble encountered the mayor of the small village of Belcrys. While he shared the issues the village was suffering, with the Orc attacks and not being able to pay adventuring guilds well enough, all Gnimble was looking for, was the way to Uvys, which the mayor provided.   On his way to Uvys' shop, Gnimble was joined by Pilgrim with whom together he stepped into the organised mess. Flying paper planes, stones of fire, marbles that roll uphill, seemingly living books and running chairs ... all things that Uvys seemingly posses.   After some cake and talking, Uvys asked the group to check on his adopted "son" of sorts, Fruwar - a hill giant "child". Eli pulled a fuzzy object out of his bag to protect the village, which turned out to be an Axe Beak. He then also pulled out a jackal to keep them company and scout ahead.   With those things settled and a reward promised by the mayor, the group headed off to a small hill in the middle of the forest to meet Fruwar. The not so small and not so childlike Hill Giant.   Under tears he told the party of his pet goat, Simly, that was kidnapped by a group of Orcs. The party promised to go and save the goat, while Fruwar waited patiently for them.   Despite the danger, the group handled the Orcs quite well, after a failed attempt at diplomacy revolting to some more violent measures.   After then finding and rescuing the goat, they returned to Fruwar and returned his pet, making him promise to help the village with the boulders the Giant threw and to not do that again.   The party returned to the village, collected some reward and the gratefulness of the villagers as well a set of four necklaces, each with a piece of the artefact that Uvys was working on.   Being celebrated by the villagers, the group stayed for a few days before then heading off on their way to the village of Mistmere, where they have heard of undead threatening the peaceful life.
