Session 1: Curse of the Coast 7/11/2021

General Summary

We start our adventure in a new settlement to the west of Wood of Sharp Teeth called Limshaven. People come here because it’s not a city. There are no established structures. Canvases or tarps have been strung up to shelter people from rain, the weather. There is an open tavern and a market set up. It is a place where people gather to buy supplies, meet other people, that sort of thing. This is where are adventurers meet for the first time…
It is the middle of the afternoon and Snowball is at the tavern challenging people to a drinking tournament. Max is in the corner of the tavern downing a pint. Eshonai is curious observing everything that is happening. She is very interested in the bunny and wants to hug him when she notices what’s going on in the tavern. Rin is shopping around looking for a shroom seller. Malcolm is nearby and notices the commotion but it isn’t anything new to him.
An incredible drinking tournament ensues between Snowball and 3 rangers. Rin finds Malcolm selling mushrooms and proceeds to buy some from him including special mushrooms of the psychedelic kind.
At the same time, Eshonai overhears some people talking about a bad harvest and inquires about it. The townsfolk tell Eshonai that if it continues then they will need to abandon Limshaven. They are having to go deeper into the forest for supplies(?) and people get hurt more often. Eshonai offers her help.
A half elf informs Eshonai that a curse has befallen the land. They are looking to send someone to find Matrius in Candlekeep to request for his assistance, possibly break the curse. Eshonai refers to the curse as the “c” word and gasps every time she hears the word “curse.” He recruits Eshonai to help. Thlei is the half elf and Brie is the halfling woman who speak with Eshonai.
Malcolm overhears their conversation and puts away his things rushing over to the group. Rin follows out of curiosity. Eshonai is tasked with recruiting adventurers to join her with 25g to split amongst them. She recruits Rin and Malcolm and pays them 5g each.
Malcolm, knowledgeable about Candlekeep, informs us that payment is required to enter. The payment is a book that contains knowledge that Candlekeep does not yet have. Rin is instructed to check the health of the woods during our travels.
Eshonai heads towards the tavern with Malcolm and Rin following suit. She grabs two handfuls of hay while telling us she knows the owner of the tavern and it’s a rabbit. Malcolm knows this is not true and pulls me aside telling me to pretend to not know Eshonai. We keep 6 steps behind her.
Eshonai causes a bit of a ruckus in the bar when she confronts the barkeep stating “you don’t look like a rabbit…” and then asks the barkeep where she could find some adventurers (particularly the rabbit). She receives directions and begins running off to find the rabbit.
We find Snowball behind a tree counting his gold. Max approaches from behind and starts a conversation with Snowball which understandable startles him. He jumps into the tree and throws a pebble at Max while Max attempts to coerce him back down.
Rin finds the rabbit and calls Eshonai back. Eshonai attempts to offer Snowball and Max some hay but they decline. Somehow, Eshonai manages to recruit Snowball and Max to our mission. Snowball is recruited with gold and under the false pretences that he’d be able to fight someone. Max just agrees to come along...perhaps to continue following this rabbit. Malcolm and Rin reluctantly comply but agree that we’ll rely on each other to solve this curse.
We camp for the night and begin our journey to Candlekeep the next morning.
