So this is the party atm some are still working on fleshing things out more. We are all currently level 3 and we started at level 1.
Araenai (A-ray-nai) is a changeling feywild ranger who has an androgynous appearance often.
Sax is a Kobold revived rogue who we play off as my dragonborns son or younger brother occasionally in public. He is kinda like gollum but less gross and more capable... we found him on a job in a sewer when we were sent to find who was stealing the towns stuff...
Reese is a changeling arcane trickster rogue but lives as a Kind and ADHD struggling human women in her 30’s. She worked a farm until her son was murdered and now she is seeking revenge.
then there is my character Sikath rathborn a Silver scaled dragonborn exiled noble who made a pact with an old friend (an archfey) to survive his families assassination just barely. (His patron is a lazy helpless romantic sylph who delved into gravity and time magic unlike other sylph, she has a crush on sikath which is one sided which leads to sikath either giving up and doing as she says or suffering really bad luck)
our party is called “The scales of change” with our two reptilian and two changelings we thought it was clever.
Anyways so we started in a small village Sikath and Reese working to find her sons killer while sikath tries to figure out how he plans to take his home back and free his people from the corrupt elites. But as we slept in the tavern we woke up with our money gone! We ran into Areanai who was having the same issue so we followed some leads and got to the sewers where something has been leaving and entering.
after fighting a giant rat we came across a kobold sitting on a pile of random stolen items... Sikath tries to speak to him thinking he’s a young dragonborn being in a strange land and only living among dragonborn. He eventually finds out that this individual is named sax and he convinces him to return everything back to the people.
So we get into a wagon with a merchant the next day and continue to the capital where we join the adventurers guild to have free movement in and out of the city and so the scales of change were founded.
(a lot happened two sessions after this but this was the start, but to put it simple Sikath is the unofficial party leader with his charismatic words and his gravity/time/fey magic, the ranger Areanai is the frontline meat of the group, Sax is the scout, and Reese is the backup scout. Areanai went toe to toe with a minotaur 2 sessions ago saving sikath from certain death and this session Sikath almost killed 2 giant rats and 3 rat swarms in a sewer himself while carrying a dying Sax over his shoulder to the exit and buying everyone time using gravity magic to slow the enemies killing them off in choke points within the sewer... we still have to go back there to make sure we thoroughly clear out the rats for the job though after we rest and get healed up next session)
hope you all enjoy this, I am glad to finally have a fun group who actually wants to play D&D with no pointless drama!
No problem, also experiance wise it’s our DM’s first time being DM, the players for Reese and Sax are actually very very new to D&D, while me and the player for araenai have some experiance playing D&D.
mainly to get everyone into it we watched critical role, dingodoodles, xptoleve3, runesmith, and puffin forest on youtube. Then we watched some good lore videos on some parts. Then we went over mechanics as we played a practice session to get used to the game.
hope this experiance can also help the flood of new players during quarantine!
Also want to add some fun info on the quirks of two characters! So Sax keeps thinking Areanai is a women and refers to him as Sikaths GF at this point which bothers Areanai since it isn't true and Sikath just chuckles at Areanais reaction. Then Sikath living in the great dragonborn kingdom to the south for his whole life he really doesn't get the cultural differences with races in his mind, like some good examples are how he sees elves as humans with longer life spans and pointy ears or how he sees kobolds as just short dragonborn.
This a homemade campaign world or a published one? And I am glad to hear the group has no "pointless" drama. Had two groups break up due to irl player drama. Thankfully we got past it for one of them.

Sounds like fun :D
This sounds like a fun campaign. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I really like the Scales of Change name.
homemade, we wanted to do something more personal since a lot of the group works together and we all are friends of friends pretty much lol
