The first session was brief really. Mostly just players and DM getting used to each other at the table again. We are playing the Pathfinder rules set and the campaign Kingmaker. In a nutshell, it's a basic "old school" hex-based romp. Fun!
Day one:
The characters have answered the Sword Lord's call to arms and have gathered at a manor house in order to get a crack at colonizing the Greenbelt, which is a wilderness located to the south of the country of Brevoy. Many adventurers from Restov and the surrounding area have answered the call. But only a few are chosen.
An old crone is called forward after the Sword Lord addresses the motley gathering. She tosses the bones and selects 5 from the gathered throng. The rest are dismissed.
A writ is handed over with brief instructions on how this is to take place. Results are expected, and if they are not met, the writ will be rescinded and the offer withdrawn. A regular schedule of dispatches from Oleg's Trading Post are expected.
The main threat in the area is the Stag Lord...a self proclaimed leader of a large bandit horde. This is to be the party's first task. Rid the area of the bandit threat.
Two teamsters Kingston and Dadffyd lead the group (along w/ two wagons) to the south. The weather is mild and the journey nondescript.
Once there, we meet the proprietor of the Trading Post, a bear of a man named Oleg. He welcomes us to the shabby, run-down establishment. Seems that the place is run by only he and his wife Svetlana.
The group is told that the most immediate threat is a smaller group of bandits that have been harassing the Trading Post and demanding monthly payments. In fact, Oleg has lost his wedding band to the group for just such an outrageous demand!
This will be the first order of business. In two short days a small coalition of bandits will show, demanding the monthly payment. The plan is to have a bit of surprise in store for them...For now though, unpacking and planning are paramount.
More soon.
