First Session
When we began the First Session, the party, not yet a party, find themselves congregated at the door of The Stuffed Kobold. This is a small in and tavern in Balagash, where they find a notice calling for adventurers needed to perform a service for the town governor, Irimshik Akimi. Those who would eventually become the party joined Balagash's Captain of the Guard Anasha Bastiga for a pint of ale and to hear out the wishes of the governor.
Anasha Bastiga explained the gist of the desired services as follows: The governor's son built a small keep north of Balagash which proved to be indefensible and has since been abandoned. Locked within the keep is a piece of parchment, for which directions for finding it will be given. Return of the parchment will grant the party a prize of 150 gold per person... a hefty sum. If the parchment is returned in perfect shape... the governor could further reward the party with as large a prize as the deed to the keep itself.
Anasha, not expecting the party of total noobs to survive a day's walk, much less any violent encounter, granted the party the use of a half-dead mule and a cart, presumably so the remaining survivor could return with the corpses of the brave noobs for burial. He also provided the party with a rough map to, and of the keep.
First Blood
Half a day out of town, the party ranger Rayjok sensed and upcoming ambush; kobolds! The party ambushed the ambushers and killed them all, surviving their first ever encounter.
