The Story Thus Far:
In the tropical port city of Sasserine, five unacquainted adventurers are summoned by a mysterious letter to the manor of Lavinia Vanderboren. She has recently become the head of her noble family due to the tragic deaths of both of her parents. While waiting to meet the noble lady, the group crosses paths with The Jade Ravens, an adventuring band in the employ of the Vanderborens. Apparently, they are on their way south to the city of Cauldron on a mission from Lavinia. Upon meeting the lovely Lady Vanderboren, the group learns that her family is in a desperate situation due to her parents departing unexpectedly without first settling various financial issues.
What she asks of the adventurers is to find out what has become of her parent's ship, The Blue Nixie. It has been siezed by one of the Harbormaster's men, a fellow named Soller Vark. Lavinia paid the necessary dues on the ship, but now the money has disappeared, as well. She suspects the worst. In addition, Lavinia cannot access her family's vault since it can only be opened with the use of her father's signet ring. She hopes the ring can also be found on the ship. The Vanderboren Estate could be in deep trouble if something is not done quickly.
That night, the party decides to investigate pier five where the Nixie is supposedly kept. Suspiciously, it is not where Lavinia said it would be, but moored one-hundred feet out from the end of the dock. Men are visible moving about on deck. At a nearby inn, the new companions begin to forge a plan to get aboard the ship...
DM Notes: A fun first session. Quite a colorful and interesting group of party members. The next session (and the implementation of the party's fantastic plan) is scheduled for Sunday, January 15th at 9:30 a.m. I'm trying to think of what the quote of the day was, but I'm coming up empty except for multiple uses of the phrase "psychic flying monkey." Can anyone beat that?
