Meet Me in Phandalin. The characters are in the city of Neverwinter when their dwarf patron and friend, Gundren Rockseeker, hires them to escort a wagon to Phandalin. Gundren has gone ahead with a warrior, Sildar Hallwinter, to attend to business in the town while the characters follow with the supplies. The characters will be paid 10 gp each by the owner of Barthen's Provisions in Phandalin when they deliver the wagon safely to that trading post. Background: More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path. A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost. For centuries, rumors of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough-and-tumble frontier town. More important, the Rockseeker brothers — a trio of dwarves — have discovered the entrance to Wave Echo Cave, and they intend to reopen the mines. Unfortunately for the Rockseekers, they are not the only ones interested in Wave Echo Cave. A mysterious villain known as the Black Spider controls a network of bandit gangs and goblin tribes in the area, and his agents have followed the Rockseekers to their prize. Now the Black Spider wants Wave Echo Cave for himself, and he is taking steps to make sure no one else knows where it is. Turn Order: Kaiden Bleu Angle Sak Trey post for speaking |

You've spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail. |

It wasn't what she'd expected. Horses, dead. To arrows, it seems. She was ahead of the group ⎯ her friends ⎯ she was the first to see. "Guys, you'll want to see this!" she calls back to the group in Common. In Druidic, she mutters under her breath, "Who kills horses? Monsters?" She reaches back to the Yklwa at her back, gripping it loosely in her hands. The wood was rough between her fingers. Carefully, she steps forward, checking. Watching. The things that killed the horses could still be close. [ Wisdom (Perception) Check / 23 (19+4) ] |

Well, shit. That answered that question, then. Whirling around at the sound of goblins, Vylxaris prepared to strike. But Arugash got hit. Hard. Very hard. Ignoring the goblin that hit her with a scimitar, she went over, muttering under her breath. Casting Cure Wounds in a few moments, she touched Aru on the shoulder. The wounds slowly knitted together but were not all healed. [ Casted Cure Wounds (1 Spell Slot Left) / Cured 5 HP On Arugash (1 + 2 + 2) |

As Arugash felt most of his wounds close together again, he was able to stand up, and he gave Vylxaris a grin. "Thanks," he said, before frowning at the goblins, reaching down to his belt and pulling out his handaxe. He cocked his arm back and threw it at the third goblin. "Bullseye!" he shouted gleefully as it embedded itself in the goblin's arm. [ Attack Goblin #3 w/ handaxe, hit successful (16+4) | (2+2) Slashing Damage ] |

[Attack w/ scimitar, 20 (16+4) [SUCCESS] / 5 (3+2) - 1 AC = 4 Slashing Damage] Goblin #2 follows after Vylxaris, trying to hit her again. But the blade refuses to go through the leather. [Attack w/ scimitar, 24 (20+4) [SUCCESS] / 3 - 3 AC = 0 Slashing Damage] Goblin #3 squeals in pain as the ax hits its arm, pulling the thing out after recovering from the searing pain. It pulls it's bowstring back once more, letting an arrow fly. It hits, once again. [Attack w/ shortbow, 15 (11+4) [SUCCESS] / 3 - 0 AC = 3 Piercing Damage] Goblin #4 lets an arrow fly in Vylxaris's direction after seeing it's counterpart failing to pierce her flesh. But it once again refuses to go through the leather. [Attack w/ shortbow, 9 (5+4) [SUCCESS] / 3 - 3 AC = 0 Piercing Damage] |

Chuckling lightly at the goblin's inability of hitting her, she went for her own bow. She faced the third one ⎯ the one who hit Aru. She made a mental note to check in on Sazen, he didn't look too good. She hit it in the chest. Point blank, it wasn't hard to hit. It fell over, dead. [Attack w/ Short Bow (22, Success, Critical) / 7 + 7 + 2 Piercing Damage, Goblin #3] |
