Hey so, the audio in part 1 got fucked so I'll post the summary for it here.

Session 1 Summary recorded on March 20, 2021.

Summary of Session 1: The party consisted of Joshua and Ice as the rest of the party decided to sleep in for the morning. Upon waking up, they absorbed the mysterious ball of light and learned the Teleport spell. After gathering their bearings and morning hygiene routines, they were taken on a tour of the village by Mayor and then taken to the shop area of the village.  Once there, Mayor explained to them what each side of the shopping area specialized in and then took his usual standing post on a bridge in the center of the area.

Joshua and Ice spent their time (and a lot of gil) purchasing various items and gear to help them out on their journey going forward.

Summary of Session 2 recorded on March 22, 2021:

Summary of Session 2: The party finished their shopping in the shop area and regrouped with the Mayor. Afterwards, Mayor took the party back to the Tavern where Barkeep made them an absolutely delicious meal with the meat they brought him the day prior. As Mayor was in the process of explaining more about the world of Palamecia and Solace village, a loud and ominous siren started blaring and it quickly became time to defend the village.

As Mayor escorted the party to one of many battle sites, he explained to them that this typically happens around their annual festival event and that The Devourer does not enjoy other people's happiness and often sends his subordinates to ruin it.

After clearing the first battle, the party learned more about Tyr and Phine and why Tyr gets so shaken up whenever combat is mentioned. After a few common words from Mel and Joshua, she regained her composure and continued on with the village defense.

As they made their way to the heart of the forest region of the village, they met the Forest Guardian named William. William explained his role, partially how he became the Forest Guardian and gave what knowledge he could about the current status of the forest. He then asked the party if they would be willing to help him investigate what else is going on and deal with the enraged Treents along the path to the cave where the source of the drastic change might've been.

After defeating that set of enemies, they then learned a bit about Phine's backstory and her homeland being that of the forest. Phine explained to the party about her special connections to forests and that the corrupt energies are bothering her and that thing's shouldn't be like this. After the party offered her words of encouragement, their Compassion Rings began to shine and they pressed onward. Mayor also asked the party if they had seen William, who chose to remain within the trees and he has lost his touch with social interaction. To quote him: "I'm not as much of a chad as I used to be with talking to people."

When the party finally made it to the final battle location, they thoroughly inspected the area around them and found quite a bit of loot lying around outside of a cave before entering. Cerodin also triggered an Enemy Chest and quickly dispatched the enemies. Upon inspection of the ground, the party came across a footprint that had energy still seeping off of it and the party steeled themselves as they entered the cave.

Cerodin decided to take a seat in a chair on the inside and out came a flaming skull named Ahdam Ghreaves. Ahdam was annoyed at first because Cerodin was sitting atop his body and angrily shouted at him to get off. After brief introductions, the party learns who he is and why he is trapped in the cave and then he mentioned that he was cursed by a Wraith many years ago and that he in unable to leave the cave. 

After having Esuna casted on him, his curse was lifted and he once again became able to leave the cave and after detecting similar energy to the Wraith that cursed him, he grabbed the party by their shirts and very quickly escorted them out.

After reuniting with William, Mayor, Tyr and Phine all came to where the party was and did one final inspection to find nothing out of the ordinary and Mayor considered this year's village defense to be a success. Until Mel and Cerodin spotted a Wraith standing ontop of the entrance to the cave. As it made it's way towards the party and grew larger and larger  in size, just as it prepared to attack, Phine used her weapon to nearly blow a hole in it's body and Tyr casted Thundaga on it.

As they approached the Wraith, they briefly sang a song that made it clear to the party that they were putting their faith in them to rid the world of it's evils and rid all dimensions of the plague of The Devourer.
With assistance from Tyr and Phine, the party successfully defeated the Wraith and completed Chapter 1.
