S - Session 001

Kokabiel, or Ko, hurtles through space onboard The Last Hope, and unable to properly control the spelljammer, he crash lands on Sethrophos. 
The tiefling ranger Maleilei has recently been presented with her most important life charge, the newborn Kaiju Kibou. It is her sacred duty to shepherd Kibou for the rest of her life, first as Mother, then as Friend, and finally as Mentor... in an effort to make the great beast a protector and not a destroyer. She makes the decision not to shield Kibou from the hard realities of life on Sethrophos, but instead takes him abroad to learn life lessons by LIVING LIFE. The leave Choga Zanbil aboard a ship bound for Meridian, but shortly before arrival a Great Storm shipwrecks them, killing everyone but her and Kibou. They wash up on the seashore near a river delta. As she follows the stream, they encounter a farmer who tells her a story about how Orks raided a nearby farmstead, and offer her 20 silver pieces - scraped together from all the local farmers - to go or eradicate the Orks. 
She’s does not know the full situation, and agrees to help. Shen spends the evening in his cramped hut, and leaves the next day to find the Ork encampment from the crude map drawn by the farmer. As she is travelling, she sees a large gash in the treeline. Suspecting giant activity, she diverts to investigate. What she finds is Ko's crash site. Due to the power of the Supreme Irony, she arrives at the exact moment he is able to get the door to open. He stumbles out and they have a brief encounter where she sees him as a gorgeous buff dude, due to his faulty camouflage device. As they struggle to make one another understand the mutual importance of each other's missions, they are surrounded by a group of orks, led by the fearsome Warleader Nond the Remorseless, who were also coming to investigate the crash site for fear of giant activity. With a language barrier, eventually the orks brought out a bugbear named THF Jones. THF determined Dwarven was a language that they can all speak. Kokabiel can finally express the urgency of the Mind Flayer problem, and they are taken back to the ork village. 
Ko meets with James and Lars, a dwarf wizard & monk, respectively, while Maleilei meets with Kirk, a dwarf blacksmith - it turns out the three of them, along with their fourth brother Jason the Bard, all moved here together some time ago. The dwarves agree to fix Kokabiels Amulet of Nondetection and gift Maleilei a greataxe if they each retrieve a Black Lotus flower from Meridian City. They meet back up with Nond and THF for dinner, where they learn what’s going on in the wider world, and that they may have been sent to eradicate people who are not evil. THF tells them that they will get killed if they go into Meridian alone, so he puts on his Hat of Disguise to go with them. Maleilei meets a quite ancient Tiefling Druid who has been around through an entire cycle of procession, over 43,000 years, who is so old she helped build the grove that the village currently exists in. 
They get a good night sleep and plan to head out from Meridian in the morning.
