Episode 1: Beginnings
General Summary
24th of Harvesttide, 1283 Dyeri Cycle
Our heroes, Andal, Morgoth, and Silva answer a summons from Castor Fizzbolt. Arriving at his workshop, they hear a loud explosion from inside. Forcing their way in, they discover the workshop on fire and Castor nowhere to be found. Putting out the fire, Andal discovers a strange perfect semi-circle cut out of a workbench which reminds Morgoth of an item Castor was working on.Not finding Castor anywhere in the workshop, the group heads upstairs to the home proper. Searching the home, they find Castor in his bed, knocked unconscious with a large knot on his head. Waking him, they discover he used his new invention, the Evacuator, to escape the explosion, but was hit in the head as it transported him to his bed where they found him.
Getting down to business, Castor hires the adventurers to follow up on a story about dwarven ruins in the foothills to the west. A trapper had found them while tracking a bear but had not gone inside. Castor hires them for 50gp each now and 50gp on completion of the contract, but any technology or books/scrolls found would go to Castor. Anything else could be kept by the adventurers.
25th of Harvesttide, 1283 Dyeri Cycle
After a bit of shopping at Handal's Goods, the adventurers took to the road passing through the small village of Raventhorp on their way to the location described by Castor. The dirt road gave way to nothing more than a track as they headed into the foothills. As they passed through a particularly narrow portion of the path, they were attacked by some goblins. They were able to survive the encounter but did take a little bit of damage from the archers.Reaching the small valley Castor had mentioned, they were able to find the ruins mentioned by the trapper. Climbing up the cliff edge to the ruins, they are noticed by more goblins who seem to be inside the ruins. Barely surviving this fight, they make a retreat and find a place to hole up for the night to lick their wounds.
