Session 1: A party is formed

General Summary

The group of three adventurers enter the tavern the Dancing Donkey, between the towns of Saringallow and Honeyport. The first of which is Jack T Ripper, a scoundrel who spent some time in Saringallow where is has a contact in the mayor, who asked him to bring some information to the capital. Along with him was Varinel, an elven Spiritualist and Archaeologist, who just was apart of the party that freed Saringallow from a demonic pest. Also among the three is Francis Graf, a landsknecht (mercenary) from the empire of Zimea. He was also in the party with Varinel when they fought a demon in Saringallow. The three are tired after a long days journey and ready to settle down for the night. In the tavern, they see among others a woman clad in armor named Vexna, a human paladin of the dragon-god Apsu. There is also an orange tiefling with one and a half horns named Thylius, an alchemist dedicated to his craft. When all have settled in the adventurers talked and realize they are all heading in the same direction and decided to join forces. The rest of the night was spent socializing and getting to know each other. Vexna also spent some time talking to a depressed knight clad in white armor who was also sitting in the tavern. The knight introduced himself as Biff Truegust. He explained that he was a dragonrider, one of the king's personal bodyguards and most trusted servants. Although the depressed knight never revealed the nature of his mission, he was heading in the opposite direction. When night came all went to bed in their rooms. Jack however stayed awake and snuck downstairs. There he saw Biff make some deal with a couple of green kobolds before leaving. He then snuck into the tavernkeeper's chambers and stole a sack of coin. But on his way out he happened to fall over and knock down some pans whilst sneaking through the kitchen. Almost everyone in the tavern was awoken by this and the taverkeeper noticed that his coins were missing. Jack decided to flee, but Vexna, Varinel and Thylius chased after him. Until he ventured into the forest to the north. They decided that it was best if they waited until dawn to follow any further. They also noticed that the knight was gone, but didn't pay much attention to it. The distraught taverkeeper was promised by the party that they would bring them his coins. Jack, however, kept running into the forest until he happened upon a hungry owlbear. Jack fought back as best he could, but the beast proved to be too much for him. Thus Jack T Ripper met an untimely end. When morning came the party looked for any trace of Jack, except for Francis who left the party to journey on ahead of the others. The rest found nothing and thus decided that it was best to follow the road since not even Jack was able to travel safely through the forest alone. The later came upon a den. When they entered they found a bunch of half-eaten corpses. Some from travelers, some from patrolling dragonguards, and even the half-eaten body of Jack. Next to the corpses was the body of a female owlbear, as well as the shells of a few crushed owlbear eggs. They took the tavernkeeper's coins and exited the den, where they were met by a male owlbear and the owner of the den. The party managed to defeat the beast and returned to the tavern. They returned the coins and were offered a reward by the happy tavernkeeper. The party accepted, all except Vexna who refused his reward. The part was also joined by another tiefling. Talien, a magical swordsman known as a fiendflayer, decided to join the party on their journey.
