What do you all think? Should we press on or go rest and level up?
I'm good to go, but if everyone's spell slots are spent and stuff, it might be wiser to rest and level up.
I'm good with anything! Sorry I'm pretty new to do this so I'm not sure what else happens as we level up to 2. I'm okay with whatever since I'm not sure what would be more helpful

I'll be able to use the token for a Tressym in future encounters.
I don't have the sourcebook in question, but Samhain does and since Rachael the Tressym has been added to Rinn's sheet as a companion ... I will be able to add it to maps.
I'm very pleased that Rachael is already getting of love from my fellow players. She's very skittish, but she's very loyal. Assume she is using dodge most turns during combat.
The closest picture I can find online is something like this: Rachael though has white paws and white tufts at the tips of her ears.

I'm okay with trying to get some rest, especially as it would allow us to gain a level and I could rework my prepared spells.
More importantly, I think Balen probably needs some bandages and rest. Otherwise, we might just lose a second party member in our first dungeon crawl.
After our stint in town, and getting to meet some of the NPCs of Havenford, what direction would you like to see the tale develop?
Head back underground?
Explore the Ruins of Thornwood Abbey?
An Expedition to the Shadowfang Caverns?
A Journey to the Feywild Glade?
Something else entirely?
Also looking for feedback with regard to how the game has been unfolding. More of this, less of that ... that kind of thing.
I like how things have gone so far. No changes to recommend yet. My first vote would probably be to go back down, see if there are any more baddies to handle, and figure out where that staircase led to. That could tell us if someone in town knew about the cult.

I agree. We left a lot of loose ends. And that stuff that was going down there did not resonate well with Toads and almost everyone else
Sorry I haven't been posting been at a career exploring workshop thing. Also for the sword and the shield if anyone wants them Balen's cool with sharing whenever it's needed. He has no qualms over material things (unlike the pirate captain ahah)
Uh random things:
- Balen liked the cat and did pet it when it nudged him
- how many fingers Ichep was holding?: "uh 7"
- Balen was stubborn with getting help, but was grateful for it
... and that's the time I have on this break -- see ya

Though, the base tressym is also very cute, though not Rachael:

Sounds good to me.
I'll get a 'return-to-town and rest' post typed up.
The next scene will begin after a long rest, and then you guys can interact with some of the town NPCs.
Sounds good. We're off to a fun start. So we can officially level up now?
A long rest occurred, gang. Feel free to level your character up and let me know when you have done so.
A bit of a scene jump in the IC thread as well, to take us to the next morning.
Finally Ichep gets to have his warm meal :D (...and hold a funeral).
Done and done.
Loot
Keoghtom's Ointment [Toadstool]
Scroll of Protection vs Undead [Ichep]
Silver Short Sword 'Swan Song' [Balen]
Shield [Balen]
Treasure
Bhaal Rubies x11, 25gp ea. [Toadstool]
Silver Chain, 15', 20#, 100gp [Who has this?]
Time for an informal poll, gang.

I can carry the chain, unless someone else wants it.

And regarding the feedback:
Possible improvements - mby prettier maps with some environmental objects to possibly interract with.
I‘m also in favor of going back down. We don’t need to explore every crevice but as it is it feels like a half uncovered mystery.
