Still working out getting voices normalized and had to clean up some pops and clicks. I’m trying to do this in a way that doesn’t make the rest of the group have to do any work.

Sound quality is a little over-processed, you don’t want to know what my encode chain was. It’ll be better next time.

The party arrives in Phandalin and quickly alienates all the shopkeepers and picks a fight with the “Redbrand” thugs that are becoming the controlling power in the town. The begin crafting a plan to find and attack the secret entrance of the redbrands underneath the ruins of Tresandar Manor. First they need to find the halfling child, Carp.

Avoid the redbrands. Shaking down businesses, asking for protection. Don't know who their leader is, but they are often at the sleeping giant taphouse. They started showing up right around when the goblins showed up on the trail. The lionshield koster has had issues with them, having shipments waylaid.

I think that these caves are safe enough to rest in tonight. Phandalin was still a half days travel from where I was attacked. How did you all find me?

This is a pbp or “Play by Post” chat log that we run during the week on Discord. These are intended to be a place for exposition and meeting NPC’s. We managed both.

This time we recorded our session on Twitch and since I’m not an affiliate (yet!?) cut and uploaded to Youtube! Check it out! There are a few highlight clips on Twitch as well here.

Story

In the city of Neverwinter when a patron and friend to a diverse band of adventurers and sellswords, Gundren Rockseeker, hires them to escort a wagon to Phandalin. Gundren has gone ahead with a warrior, Sildar Hallwinter, to attend to business in the town while the party follows with the supplies. The party will be paid 10 gp each by the owner of Barthen’s Provisions in Phandalin when they deliver the wagon safely to that trading post.

Summary

The party comes across the signs of an ambush on the Triboar Trail. The dead horses belonged to Gundran and Sildar. After a quick skirmish with goblins in the woods around the trail, the party leaves their wagon and tracks them to their lair. After releasing the goblin's pet wolves, the party ambushes Yeemik, a goblin boss, and due to Sildar being held hostage are sent to kill the Hobgoblin, Klarg.
