Hier mal die Introtexte aus dem 1. Encounter:
Setup:
The party has been brought to the town of Liam’s Point at the foot of the Rickenmyre Mountains. Word of a need for adventurers had spread across the Rickenmyre, and they answered the call. A man in the city of Retribution, in the southern end of the Kingdom, brought them here via teleportation circle, after meeting with them and offering coin for a job. They were transported and their destination was at the back of an old inn, The Dusty Crow. They’ve been waiting in the common hall for two hours, and the man who hired them left on horseback soon after they arrived.
Und gleich noch der erste "Vorlesetext":
The innkeeper at the Dusty Crow Inn passes by your table and whispers "You all stay, this isn’t for you." and he begins to shout "The night’s over for the lot of you. Go home to yer women and children now, the night’s over for ye drunks."
The small crowd murmurs with discontent, but they all do as they are told, and in a matter of seconds, the place clears out. The only people remaining are a human of about 50 whom you hadn’t noticed before, a gnome who also seemed to come out of nowhere, and the innkeeper. The human and the gnome approach your table while the innkeeper cleans behind the bar.
"My name’s Derrin, my gnomish friend here is Bunderin, he’s traveled from the far Eckleborough westernlands to be with us here today. We want to thank you for answering the call regarding our struggles against the orcs. They are wily, and they know that the war to the east has caused some… distractions.
They are using that to their advantage. They’ve become bold with their raids. What we need from you is simple, find their base. Our men are trying to stop the raids, but we can’t be everywhere at once."
The gnome reaches into a bag and produces a clockwork dove.
"This dove… release it when you find the base. It knows where to go and who to talk to. It’ll lead the militia forces straight to the camp. It’s very important that you only release it then. Also, you may want to pack a little heavier than usual.
It seems that, winter has decided to visit us a little earlier this year. There are reports of snow on the ground already up in the mountains, very unusual for
the Rickenmyre this time of year."
