This is the place where we will do our “in character” playing. We will just use the group chat for “out of character questions”. This is so that we won’t get confused with what is going on. I hope to have everyone post at least once a day. There is going to be a lot of learning within this, and I am really excited to teach you guys how to Okay…here we go….
Snow gently falls from the sky and wind bites your cheeks as you stand in the graveyard of Palebank Village, a fishing outpost of Uthodurn that is home to several hundred dwarves and elves. The sun is low in the sky, sinking behind the fresh grave of Urgon Wenth, an old dwarf who caught a curse or disease that turned him into an ice statue. The folk of the village have gathered to pay their final respects to Urgon’s frozen remains.
A gruff voice speaks softly from behind you. “Thank you for attending Urgon’s service.” You turn and meet the gaze of Elro Aldataur, a weathered elf, retired ranger, and the leader of the village. “I’m sorry to speak of dark tidings under such circumstances, but I believe that Palebank Village might be in danger, and I’m hoping you can help us.”
(This would be a good time to introduce your character and tell if you knew Urgon or are just being polite)
Excuse my compatriot here Elro, he’s new into town. (I lean over and whisper into Dametrius’ ear) This is Elro the leader of Palebank. My condolences for yours and this towns loss, what is it you think we can help you with?
“Not a problem my friends. I am Elro Aldataur and I am well known around here. Being known by many means that I also know many. I want you two to go see what happened to Urgon.” You see that his facial expression grow very sorrowful.
”You see…he returned home from exploring, I believe it was from Eiselcross, just two months ago. He was gone exploring for roughly a year. When he came home he was different. Urgon came down with a strange affliction. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen. He started to move slower with everything; speech, reaction, fighting, everything! Even the most common of physical movements became hard for him. Each day it seemed like it was getting worse.”
Elron musters a laugh, one that is clearly fake and after a sigh says “Urgon had a very strict diet. He also never eats anything….out of the ordinary. He never said anything about his adventures. He does live out of town. At first I thought nothing of it, simply that it was something that happened in Eiselcross. Then something else happened that I knew wasn’t a coincidence. A local trapper by the name of Tulgi Lutan started showing the same signs as Urgon.”
Elron’s eyes widened at he exclaims “Tulgi never left further than needed to! Once we got wind of her misfortune, we tried to talk to her and she pushed us away, wanting to die in peace.”
Elro looks to both of you and says “As far as I know, yes. But I wouldn’t be surprised to find her in the same state as Urgon.”
As Elro continues to talk to the both of you, a younger female elf in a white dress, one that matches the snow falling outside, walks over to Elro and lean into his ear and whisper something. Elro’s eyes widen as she continues whispering. Once she finishes she looks to you both and nods and swiftly walks away. Elro’s eyebrows start to knit together and he says “I would love to continue to talk but I have something urgent that needs my attention. I will pay each of you 100 gp to go and find out what caused all of this to happen. Also, don’t trust any authorities. They have a way of…covering things up. If I were you, I would start at Urgon’s cabin or maybe try to go and talk to Tulgi. I wish you the best of luck.”
Elro turns and walks to where the female elf went and the two of you are left standing there.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
There is a dice icon that is presented in the post maker and it takes away any chance of fudging the dice rolls. I know that neither of you would lie, this is just for future references if you ever want to play a different campaign, this is good to know.

it will change color above and you can add modifiers and whatnot to it. You guys are doing awesome and are great learners!
Goorn - you are able to pick up on some of what the female elf is whispering, but only a few key details. You hear “Sir, they are here to discuss what happened to Urgon and Tulgi……they aren’t going to take no for an answer…….they are in the other room……” As to where they are walking, you see that it is just across the room.

Who are you?
Excuse my compatriot here Elro, he’s new into town. (I lean over and whisper into Dametrius’ ear) This is Elro the leader of Palebank.

Did he eat any weird shrooms?
Where exactly was it he was exploring? What did he go out to explore?

Is this Tulgi still alive?
Was he ripped?

What would you like to do?
Make a perception check to see if I heard any of the whispering and to see if the direction they are walking is towards Urgons or Tulgis cabin.
