Session 1 Chickens, herbs and drugs

by Kido Kahdar

What is the world? Is it the name Rebia? The land? Its stories, its histories. Tales spoken over campfires. Epics, and secrets. Today, a new one is starting.
 
Blusheaf, a port town with 2 docks, one for trade and one for maritime vessels. Two ships have just arrived. The docks is busy with trade, and shouted conversations fill the area, but is disturbed as sounds of crates that are destroyed penentrates it all, and a man shouts out as three feathered birds and two dog like beasts escape through the crowd, ensuing chaos.
 
Initiative is rolled. One of the dogs instantly kill someone with a bite to the throat. As kido tries to bane one of the birds, two of them charge at him and almost down him instantly. Gepp is engaged with the dogs and the last bird. Cheheri entangles the dogs. Rosie heals kido. Gepp takes a dog down, but Kido struggles to enwrap one of the birds, as it pecks him hard. The trader is panicked and clearly dont know what to do. As kido disengages, Rosie falls to the birds.
 
Two guards come to help. The other dog goes down. One guard brings a cart of cages and boxes to house the animals. As the people around starts to cage up the animals, kido and one guard stabilizes Rosie.
 
Ghost docks, for trade. Pearl warf house the guard barracks. Follow the river. The trader brings a potion from his ship for Rosie. The trader Yubar Resnik.
He gives us 200 gold to share for the help and silence about the death and incident. We take a walk to the Pearl warf, to talk with the guards and give testimony. And we see the shield of the imperial army nearby.
People chatting about what had happened at the Ghost docks. Karen meets us a little defensive, but Ponzu the one who told us to come here, greets us and she loosens up.
 
Kaskarth is where we were going, and they are from, but we decided to stay here.
After asking about lodging and food, Ponzu tells us about the tavern bitten tale, a little cheaper place which mostly houses workers and sailors and is located in the apple docks, as well as Blusheaf inn, which is located in the middle of the black arch, where everyone lives and shops are.
 
There is a week long Imperial celebration taking place to the south that many are excited about, a big celebration for the emperor and empire.
 
We take a walk towards the inns and the notice board for work, discussing herbs, medicin and Kidos usage of the drug Bane. As Rosie produce goodberries, we disregard the inn and instead take a look at the notice board.
