Sequence of Events<\/strong>
The session began as you arrived at Lady Jamandi Aldori's<\/code> manor for a grand banquet. There, you met a motley collection of adventurers, including the disciplined mercenaries from Iron Wraith<\/code>, the cocky barbarian Amiri<\/code>, and the insufferably arrogant gnome Tartuccio<\/code>. The evening was filled with social maneuvers: Aurelio<\/code> failed to lift Amiri's<\/code> enormous sword, Maven<\/code> challenged her to an arm-wrestling match which led to mutual respect, Zogg<\/code> and Nym<\/code> confronted Tartuccio<\/code>, and Gassi<\/code> tried (and failed) to get the young bard Linsy<\/code> to play a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Jamandi<\/code> and Mayor Iosif Salomanias<\/code> then presented your mission: to clear the lawless Stolen Lands<\/code> of bandits and monsters for the chance to establish your own barony with Brevoy’s support. Before the evening was over, Zogg<\/code> discreetly left a mysterious letter he had found on Lady Jamandi's<\/code> head table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The peace of the night was short-lived. You were awakened by assassins storming your room. Led by Maven's<\/code> immediate rage, you quickly thwarted the attack. Upon further investigation, you found the manor’s corridors filled with dead guards and murdered guests. A large-scale attack was underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hunt for the perpetrators led you through an enchanting indoor garden where you defeated a group of assassins. Further in, you heard screams and found Linsy<\/code> being attacked by an ogre-like monster. Together, and with the help of Linsy<\/code> who bravely managed to stab the beast in the eyes, you were able to bring it down. The experience forged a bond between you and the young bard, who now follows you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chaos continued into the kitchen where an even more dangerous enemy awaited: a massive frost giant. The battle was brutal. The giant knocked down both Aurelio<\/code> and Maven<\/code> with its enormous fists and icy breath. With combined efforts and smart tactics, you finally managed to defeat it, but the victory was costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
