May 2nd, 2020
Let the adventure begin! This post will summarize the first adventure of the Redstone Alliance. This story took 3 session to unfold and allowed the players to meet each other’s characters for the first time.
As the last snowfall of winter melted and the warmth of spring rose from the east Denaro entered the lakeside town of Hailing Cove. Looking for a place to stay he ran into Iodani, who offered him lodging. As Iodani showed this strange newcomer around the town, the two overheard how fishermen were disappearing, heading out to fish and not returning. Curious and wanting to help the two investigated the coast looking for signs of the missing villagers. Traveling the coast they noticed a flipped rowboat and signs of footprints running into the forest, with clawed footprints trailing behind.
After some time following the trail the two heard commotion up ahead. Rounding the bend they witnessed a weary fisherman hanging onto the upper branches of a tree with half a dozen pale undead attempting to claw their way up. Iodani and Denaro attacked the undead and found themselves overwhelmed, fining aid in three newcomers, Greenbriar, Velicinnia, and Iniel. With backup, they quickly eliminated the undead. Speaking with the fisherman they learned he was attacked when his boat drifted near the southwestern side of the lake.
After escorting the fisherman back to the town the five decided to investigate seeing the town guard will well under equipped to deal with the situation on their own. Deciding to walk around the lake the party approached the southwestern shore and were harried by another cluster of drowned undead. Investigating the area they found signs of activity heading into the water. While debating whether to jump into the water or not the slain undead rose from the ground to fight again as more emerged from the water. Barely managing to escape, the party returned to town and argued about what to do next.
