The Meeting
Five budding adventurers recieved an invitation to meet with one
Jim "Buncha Knives" Tarot, who claims to have a
very well-paying job for them. Buncha Knives insists that he's been watching the adventurers that come into the city for weeks, and he's decided that these five are the most capable in all of
Nolanstead.
These adventurers are:
Elis Heliot
Raxlius
Martagan Etoile
Babar
Kallian
The party is skeptical at first - understandably so. Buncha Knives is a child, whose business seems illegitimate, who claims to have a job that is far too good to be true.
However, after some deliberating, they agree to take the job.
The party goes first to the
Nolanstead Memorial Library, where
Elis Heliot has done most of his studying. Elis' acquaintance and the head librarian,
Xavier Delacroix, leads the party to the materials they seek - a map of the Nolanstead underground infrastructure, and a legend of the Three Swordsmen. While at the library,
Raxlius also makes fast friends with
Dallin, who was also looking for a way through the sewers.
The party ventures into the sewers through an entrance near the harbor. After some time of wandering the samey halls, they stumble into a young black dragon's lair. They fight and defeat the dragon, with
Elis Heliot landing the final blow (and
Babar landing the final blow on the dragon's young wormling).
After this encounter and the short rest that followed, Dallin told the party that he needed to split ways for now, but that he would see them again.
Soon after, the party finds a drafty brick wall that, when expertly opened by
Kallian, leads to a cave that immediately connects into an old, ancient construction of brick and stone.
