Days previous I got to build out a character and have it prepared for the adventure. I went with a Half-Elf Druid and leveled up on medicinal forest skills. My colleague went with a Ranger class Human and also leveled up in nature based skills. Lucky for us our quest took us on a wooded terrain path into the mountains. Our insight was favorable indeed!
This was our GM's first crack at being a GM. I wouldn't have guessed it was his first attempt. For this round he used his newly aquired D&D 5th Edition. Adapting to this version based on my previous EotE adventures was almost seemless. Apparently the new 5th edition is less on dice-math and lends itself more to the game play.
He guided our characters SavaVor and Warmspring to a haunted canyon by way of a quirky village. We heard some tales of orcs and treasure from the locals before heading on our way.
Our original journey was to take us to the lands far beyond for some contract work with some Dwarves. However that would have to wait as we were diverted by strange and unusual forces to visit the canyon on the outskirts of the town.
A thick fog hid the bottom of the crevase. The only sign of activty was a rope tied off to a post that ran down the rock wall into the abyss. Being experienced woodsmen, we tied off secondary climbing gear for safety and scaled down the escarment which ended at the top of a platform. Stairs carved into the rocks led further down still.
Warmsrping and I discover the top of an ancient castle sticking out of the canyon floor. It appears to have been burried then swallowed up by the earth. There's activty a foot as latterns are lit and a path in out of the top of the building has been worn. Could this be where the treasures are coming from?
To be continued...
