Mal Pavo

• We began on an overcast, late winter day. A chill hung in the air and the bleak light of the Solsun cast a fluorescent haze over the city of Solport. Most of our party was introduced on their way to report to The Wardens. Zyla Nyx, was conscripted from jail, took the offer that gave her a taste of freedom. Joshua Dean and Boris Brimsley, wound down after lunch rush at the restaurant, chatted and made their final preparations. Mudge left Inked Arcana and The Alleycat in the care of his apprentice, Liora Flint, and made his way to the town square.
• At the pickup location for The Wardens, a young and somewhat hostile man by the name of Giles Drythey approached Boris Brimsley, taking a problem with his fine clothing. Upon learning who Boris Brimsley was, Giles Drythey's disdain only grew. It turned out that his father had been bankrupted by a curse inflicted on Boris Brimsley's magnum opus, Highland Girl. 20 days of labor gone, and generational hate born.
• The Wardens eventually boarded the fresh recruits onto 3 caravans. Unfamiliar faces on the first, the party-to-be on the second, and Giles Drythey and his crew on the third. The recruits were notified there was one more straggler to pick up - Redactali Sukehiro was being held in a jail cell nearby. As the caravan pulled up and Renick Darnel approached, the guards warned him that she was accused of practicing forbidden rituals. After a long moment of searching into her eyes, he nodded and accepted her on board. The Party left the district of Mal Pavo and entered the fringe of The Mists.

Tosmer's Folly

• As The Party drew near their destination, the smell of smoke hung in the air, and upon cresting the hill that stood between them and Tosmer's Folly, they saw that something was amiss. Smoke billowed from windows and an open front gate. No wardens were in sight. After investigation inside, a gust of wind created by Redactali Sukehiro revealed goblins crawling along the ceiling. Their heads snapped downward and they lunged. The group engaged in a skirmish, fighting them back. Now, most of the creatures lie dead. Both Redactali Sukehiro and Mudge sustained some superficial wounds, with Redactali Sukehiro's appearing to develop an unnatural black rim before Boris Brimsley's healing magic removed it. One goblin was distracted by Joshua Dean, devouring meat thrown against the wall and unconcerned with the shards of ceramic embedded in the soot covered flesh. The other goblin, different than its kin, rose to its feet after Renick Darnel was pulled from underneath him by Mudge's unseen servant. It is larger than the others. In fact, it is larger than any humanoid. Burns were etched across its skin in intricate patterns, and smoke leaked from a slacked-jaw mouth. #battle
