Session One

We are on a caravan north...
 
On the caravan: Aldo Fetcher (Male, Human) - Merchant, Beorne Steelstrike (Male, Dwarf) - Caravan Leader, Helda Silverstream (Female, Dwarf) - Guard
 
Lore:
"Akar Kessell was a young apprentice of the Arcane Brotherhood. After murdering his mentor,
he was abandoned in Icewind Dale by his fellow wizards, who had manipulated him into
committing the crime. On the brink of freezing to death on the ice-covered slopes of the Spine
of the World, Kessell stumbled upon Crenshinibon, the Crystal Shard—an evil artifact that took
control of the wizard and gave him incredible power. Wielding the shard, Kessell created a
magical tower, Cryshal-Tirith, in its likeness. He raised an army of savage humanoids from the
Spine of the World and threatened to conquer Ten-Towns before he was stopped by an alliance
of the people of Ten-Towns and the Reghed tribes. Of course, the aid of Drizzt Do’Urden and his
companions—Bruenor Battlehammer; Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, of the Elk Tribe; the halfling
Regis; and Catti-brie—was invaluable in stopping Akar Kessell."
 
We may be on the final day of the caravan if we push hard today toward Brinshander. A gentle snow starts to fall as we pass into a dangerous strip of land where animals hunt. Giant predatory cats. One jumps into the back of the caravan, taking out one wagon. Time to earn some pay. We need to figure out how to load a collapsed wagon OR push on before the snow fill in. We stay to help the stranded merchant, risking both being caught in the snow and leaving the rest of the caravan without more guards. We JUST make it in loading the wagon and getting caught up with every one else.
