The Range Bow
Our story began with four travelers in a run down tavern in Brown Town. Brach, the Unfallible, Weston Castleswift, North Carolina, and Arghbahd al Rastin each had arrived in the magic detesting settlement as a sort of crossroads, having either gotten lost in their travels, seeing the world, or appearing for seemingly no reason at all.
It was not long before our group of heroes happened upon trouble that had been ailing the settlement: a group of bandits had made off with Brown Town's most important, and only, cow, which had helped to plow fields and grow the potatoes with which Brown Town Ale is made. The adventurers set out immediately to aid the town, despite an otherwise hostile set of interactions from from townsfolk.
Upon leaving Brown Town behind to search for the Bandit's hideout, the group was met by two half-elves by the names of Tamantha and Colin Trailblazer. They explained themselves to be Trailblazers on the continent of Illium (continent), exploring the woods of the Range Bow and beyond. Colin very quickly set of for the Fiery Mountains to the north, having heard rumors of dragon migrations in that direction, while Tamantha stayed to aid the party in their quest to retrieve Brown Town's cow from the bandits.
After an initial encounter with several bandits in the woods, the party discovered a map revealing the location of an encampment farther in the forest. The party managed to sneak their way into the encampment, nab the missing cow, and escape without physical confrontation by using Arghbahd al Rastin to distract the tribe's leader with talk of trade. It was here that Arghbahd learned how, in fact, the people of Brown Town had cheated the bandit leader out of the cow in the first place. Not wanting to return to Brown Town, the party decided instead to travel with the cow to Orange Town.
Just prior to entering the town, the party accidentally ran over the sleeping form of Cinnead Brandhammer, who brazenly joined the party requesting Brown Town Ale in exchange for causing him harm. The party obliged, and, with their new member, made their way to Red Town, having had quite enough of colors as a motif for a location. The party pilfered through the saddlebags on the cow, where they acquired several glowing potato seeds.
Upon arrival in Red Town, rumors were heard that the Bandit Tribes of the Range Bow were looking for a group of individuals who had stolen something from them. The party immediately decided to paint the cow red, sell it off, and make haste out of the Range Bow, cursing its name as they left.
Tamantha departed from the party, urging them to join up with her at a town called Haelbram to the west. Having heard rumors
We went through a lot here. Range Bow. Bromswell. Losing Weston and North Carolina. Heart of Chioma. Glazeel. Finding Roderick. I'd say it ended with the walking castles and the finding of Sehanine.
We went from level 1 to level 5 throughout this plot.
