Adventure Timeline

Session One (7 Flamerule 1479 DR) - A raiding party of goblins blows a hole clear through the south wall, and begins to butcher helpless civilians. The five adventurers, four of whom were enjoying alcoholic beverages at the Antler & Thistle, rush to the counter-attack. It soon becomes apparant that the goblins are after something located in Red Magic & Sundries, and in fact one of the goblins smashes a window and retrieves the item, a piece of horn about a foot-and-a-half long. The goblins are disorganized, thrown off by the ferocity of the counter-attack, and are swiftly cut down. The final goblin warrior and the holder of the prize was hewn in twine by Torgh the barbarian. Soon after the battle, the captain of Axenhaft Security, Largop Harrowleaf, arrives on the scene with some of his city guard, and begins organizing the clean-up effort. In total, four civilians and twelve goblins were killed, along with a great amount of damage to the south wall. While cleaning up, the party discovers a letter on the goblin hexer, who appeared to be the leader of the raid. The letter, translated by Captain Harrowleaf, is below:

Kerwig,

''I learned through our "friend" that the totem is in a shop called Red Magic & Sundries in Loudwater. Go and retrieve it. Use the old barrel of alchemist’s fire. You know how important this is. Without the totem, it will be harder to perform the magic. We must get the object back if we are to revive the Ogre King! Do not fail. I will continue forward with the magic even if every one of you must be sacrificed. We must get back the totem!''

High Shaman Sancossug

The party and Captain Harrowleaf investigates Red Magic & Sundries and its owner, the old dwarf Ferunc Garwan, to discover that the totem was sold to him by the wizard Curuvar, who resides in the Lathe Tower in the north-west part of the city. Mr. Garwan claimed to be asleep during the ordeal, and was surprised to see his shop window broken and the totem missing. He allowed the party to keep it for him if they wanted it, saying that he "wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was going to cause this much trouble." Some members of the party were reluctant to have it, however. The totem was pocketed by Bowser, unbeknowst to the rest of the party.
