Session 1 Notes

General Summary

A Tiefling, a Gnome and an Elf walk into a bar... Our adventure starts in the rowdiest and most dangerous place in Bryn Shander, The Northlook an inn and tavern. There we find Zacharias, a mighty Tiefling Paladin who is as confident as he is tall, overhearing a drunk townie suggesting he, the tall Tiefling, could be the giant they are looking for in Good Mead. Zacharias quickly defended his honor, and his right to continue drinking. After a short debate, the townie told the story of a large giant like being that crashed into Good Mead and stole the recent batch of mead. The townie retracted his words and quickly left the tavern.
Soon after, Hruna, one of 3 Shield Dwarfs, approached Zacharias told him about their sled with their delivery of iron ingots was interrupted by a yeti who killed there fourth member, and they were just able to get away thanks to his sacrifice. They asked if Zacharias would venture out and return with their iron, which they would reward him with a bloodstone for him and any companions he leveraged to return the sled. Eliliana, a fair and crafty Elf Druid, joined into the conversation and offered to help, but recommended getting an animal to help pull the sled back, after all, a sled full of iron ingots would be heavy. Hurna agreed and provided gold for a mule. Meanwhile, Weeez, a blind old Human Fighter, offered his blade to this effort for a just reward. Suspect, Zacharias tossed an empty mug at Weeez, which Weeez caught and thanked him for the last few drops of good mead. As they were gearing up to leave, Orivon, a devious Gnome Fighter tinkerer, tossed a small toy on the table with the group and offered his skills, both with a blade and with a toy.
With a mission in hand, the group of 4 set off to retrieve the iron ingots only stopping to get a fateful ass, um, mule. As they left the main trail, a blizzard fell upon them, reducing visibility to almost nothing. Weeez, a long resident of the Ten Towns suggested stringing a rope between them to ensure they do not separate, and head into the blizzard as that should take them NE, the direction they wanted to head. Unfortunately, the blizzard's winds changed direction and they walked about 2 hours off course. After the blizzard, the group realized their error, and resumed their journey.
With the group heading once again in the correct direction, they come across a dismembered and disemboweled Dwarf. While investigating the body, Weeez overhears a group of goblins which sound like they are exerting themselves while complaining about the one-eared fool of a leader. After a brief discussion among the group, Weeez shouts out and recommends an alliance to take care of the foolish leader. As they approach the sled, which was full of iron ingots, the group notice a dim light from the north. The goblins say their leader, Izobai, the one-eared fool, is ahead and his wagon is where the dim light is coming from. While working on a plan, the goblins tell the group of Izobai, his hawk, and his 2 goblin archer guards. Tired of waiting, Weeez decides to just yell towards the light to start the ball rolling.
Reacting to the sound, Izobai cracks his whip and the loud roar of 2 polar bears is heard and the dim light starts moving, slowly turning towards the group. The goblins cower, and the group splits into 2 teams, each taking cover behind a lone tree. While the wagon nears the view of Orivon and Eliliana, Izobai's hawk is spotted. Seeing the hawk's position, Eliliana tosses her rope into the tree and looping over a branch. Gathering about 20' of rope, Eliliana Fey Steps just over the hawk, with the rope in hand, Eliliana grabs the hawk on her decent and breaks the hawk's neck. As the rope swings, she releases the rope, flips in the air, and gracefully land with the dead hawk still in hand.
Unaware of the group ahead of him, Izobai continues to push forward. Seeing the change, Zackarias grabs Weeez and rushes the wagon lifting Weeez up into position to blind strike the goblin archer from below and skewering him in surprise attack. Meanwhile, Eliliana creates a bonfire between the polar bear drive team, panicking them and making the wagon difficult to control. The 2 groups converge dropping both archers and critically wounding Izobai. Realizing his disadvantage, Izobai pushes Orivon down the ladder and attempts to flee only to fall to Eliliana's attack.
Atypical to goblin honor, the 6 the group first encountered gave the group the sled of iron ingots, and attempted to calm the polar bear drive team.
