SC1E1 - Scouting the Broken Bridge
Character(s) interacted with
Commander Gitmun Jademaker - The Stross commander of the dwarven led expedition to retake Sokol. A politically savvy military man well liked by his men and his peers. He appears to have taken every possible step to impress the new King of Sokol,
High Mage Esteri - An aging human wizard, formerly a professor at a reputable mages college. Simply a volunteer looking to help the displaced refugees as well as learn what caused this clearly magical cataclysm.
Despite his doddering appearance, Kaj Sunita picked up that the old man is more mischievous than he lets on, apparently messing with Kaj by consistently "forgetting" his name. Kronj, Crunch, Krej, and so on - a thing he does not do with anyone else.
King Tarik Ghislane (Played by Jimmy) - The young king of Sokol, newly crowned less than a year prior as he was the only remaining noble of Sokol. Formerly 4th in line to take the crown, he had a reputation as a kind, but generally careless royal who was more interested in tournaments and adventure than learning politics.
Kaj Sunita (Played by Carl) - A scheming Sokolan human draconic sorcerer, Kaj Sunita is planning for his future. And that future includes living an a nice villa provided by the King for his great and impressive services during this expedition.
A showboater during battles, he's impressed the rank and file by doing their job multiple times over in a few seconds.
Phoebe Magdi - A cautious Sokolan hunter and expert on undead. She has helped navigate for the expedition, and acts as a consultant and scout. When the party was faced with more clever, stronger undead in the little town they scouted, Pheobe preached a more cautious, longer voyage to avoid some of the larger cities. Tarik and Kaj sided with a more straightforward route, relying on the strength of their large military to defeat any opposition.
Shex - A zealot paladin who is a fanatic about fighting evil. Somewhat reckless, she proved that she has the skills necessary to back up her decisions in the battle in the bridge town.
Kozud Hasgroren - A proud dwarven soldier acting as a bannerman for the Strossenberg military. It is impossible to stop him from telling stories about his people, and he became fast friends with King Tarik.
Notes
In the tiny hamlet were a handful of civilian zombies as well as four armored soldier zombies. They seemed more clever, and were hiding in buildings before combat began. It was odd that they were in the buildings, as they were civilian buildings rather than military installations that a Sokolan soldier would have been stationed in before the cataclysm.
The four adventurers (Shex, Kaj, Tarik, Phoebe) rerouted a river to avoid the broken bridge and allow the wagons to pass.
Sokolans worship a moon god to give them kind tides along their long coast.
King Gunther Ghislane - King of Sokol that was ruling during the cataclysm. Was surely in capital during the cataclysm, and assumed dead.
Josef Ghislane - Younger brother of King Ghislane, and admiral of Sokol's navy. Traveled long trips frequently, potentially alive, but location unknown.
King Tarik Ghislane likely has some illegitimate children from his traveling.
