So we had the first session today, just got home
Was a blast. The campaign apparently has this little 'personal secrets' thingy that you can roll on. I first rolled up that my character wasent the race he appeared as but was in fact, a shapeshifter. This sounds superfun, but it really broke the group dynamic and the background lore we had for our group so the DM let me reroll. And I got the owlbear whisperer feat instead! I hope I get to use it!
Anywway the party was:
Me, red haired wizard.
My blonde brother, bard.
My black haired brother, Artificer.
And brown haired brother, dex fighter.
Were all dwarves and brothers. Half of us are mountain dwarves and the other half are hill dwarves. We all have different appearances to. This wasent planned but just became a running gag to be honest. Ages vary from 152 t0 somehting like 210.
We are on a quest to start/revive the family business which was *error404 specifics not found*. What it is exactly doesent really matter and the dm was fine with us not really fleshing it out. We needed a reason to turn into adventurers so we became disgrunttled guild artisans who are trying to setup our own company. My characters interests lie in alchemy and brewing. So hes probably trying to create potions. Or booze. Or something thats both!
I wont spoil the story who people who might want to experience the campaign themselves. But lets just say we are tasking with finding a person. Because this person did something naughty to toher people. And the other people dont want the naughty things to continue.
First roll of the day for me was a nat20 to recollect information. We tracked our target (somehow) to the proper place and found him. Trying to pry information from the target was....unsuccesfull. My dwarf got into an argument with the target and somehow insulted him. My brother were about doing other shenanigans and none of die rolls agree with us
we decided to follow him from a distance. So we sat in the local watering hole where he frequently showed up.
I decided to try and be helpfull in this case so while the bard was playing music and was entertaining the other locals I catch on to some other gossip that might come in later. Especially juicy information is a mine overrun by Kobolds in the place where we just came from. Since we need to head back there anyway for our reward, thats pronably going to be our next stop!
Once the target entered the watering hole, drank abit and then left again we tracked him. Since we were trying not to get noticed while doing it we roll stealth. I rolled.... a 8. With my bonuses included. And wasent actually the lowest roll in our group. So the target noticed we were there. Since we needed a cover up we decided to act drunk and start playing music and sing songs. Bard gives my wizard a hand drum while he plays *error404memory not found, some instrument* and we both roll. The bard rolled a nat 20. Nat 20! F yea! He says as he holds up his hand to fist bump me. I say very cheerily, NAT 1! And give him the fistbump. The other player also rolled...poorly but dont catch on what the roll was exactly. But long story short, we make such a ruckus that we lose the contact and get a reprimand from the townguard who....quite politely. Tell us to cut it out. Or to do it in the local inn.
After the reprimand we retrace our steps and catch our contact in the process of beeing naughty. We grab our hammers and sealclub him into the ground. While almost having half the party die in the process. He was a tough one. Or were just weak at lvl2. But nah that cant be it, so he was just strong.
Incidentily. Me and the bard both have the highest STR at 15. This isent the.....traditional party. The wizard has the highest STR value. May god help us!
We got a live witness and we got other proof of the naughty. So we return to the quest sender and collect our 100gp reward. Next week we (probably) are going tin investigate the Kobold mine!
