Session 1: The Road to Phandalin
Our adventure began at the edge of a large wood. The company had been tasked by Sildar and Gundrin with bringing a load of cargo to the port city of Phandalin. The duo had gone ahead on horseback to prepare for our arrival, leaving the party to guide the wagon along the forested trail.
The party consists of Huntrix, the Paladin; Llywella, the Rogue; Lilith, the Druid; and Bishop, the Mage. From the start, there was tension among the adventurers and very little trust. The dragonborn in particular was not interested in playing nicely. But with our sturdy Paladin leading the way, the company pressed onward.
Suddenly, we came upon two horses standing in the middle of the road, with no riders in sight. Suspicious. Huntrix investigated first, slowly making her way toward the horses, when three goblins sprang from the bushes.
A trap!
We engaged in battle with limited success at first. At one point, our dragonborn, who has great animal husbandry, steered the oxen and cart directly into our Druid while attempting to run over the goblins. Despite this setback, the party managed to overcome the three fiends.
Best moment: The dragonborn weaponizing the ox cart and accidentally flattening the Druid instead of the goblins.
