The adventure begins!
It was just another day in the town of Lowdale for Aizan when he was nearly plowed over by a daydreaming Dwarf! After a swift dodge and a taste of dirt for the dwarf,
Aizan lent a helping hand. The Dwarf, Bargrim, seemed to be out of it... But one thing was sure, he was hungry... And coinless. Being generous, Aizan led Bargrim to his
parent's tavern, the Goodberry Tavern. While in the tavern and listening to Bargrim's rants, a group of three sat at the table adjacent from theirs. The group was comprised of a
Gnome, a Fairy, and a cloaked individual. Aizan knew the gnome, Helsi, as she was the owner of the shop Vetch and Such across the street. After a while, Aizan and Bargrim
overheard Helsi and the fairy, Wren, talk about a disease quickly spreading among the local plants. Worried, Aizan and Bargrim offered their aid in figuring out the cause of
the disease. Now grouped together, everyone made their way out of Lowdale to make a stop at Wren's Nest. After inspecting the plants located around Wren's Nest, the party
continued to head deeper into the woods following the trail of diseased plants. During this journey, the party encountered giant stonelike lizards that nearly ate Wren. Luckily
the quiet cloaked figure, known as Aelene, dispatched the lizard before more harm could be done. After some minor healing, the party set out again following the trail of
diseased plants. Occasionally, Aelene would spot a hound that would randomly disappear. After some time, the party found their way blocked by a swamp with supposedly
dangerous creatures disguised as trees. Luckily for the party, Wren and Aelene were masterful at spotting the creature beforehand and allowing the party to safely navigate
out of the swamp. Now out of the swamp, the party continued to follow the trail of diseased plants until they found theirselves in a meadow full of them. At this point, Helsi
dug up and inspected the plants and found that the roots were covered in some type of oil. The party then investigated the surroundings and found an encampment that was
inhabited by goblins. Wren, using the cover of a nearby tree, found that the encampment had a mine that seemed to be the source of this oily substance coating the plants.
The party then made several attempts to lure the goblins out before ultimately making the decision to raid the encampment. After an arduous battle, the party now finds
themselves at the entrance of the mine with dire need of rest.
