==Playtest Recap==
The adventure starts with the party inside Cragmaw Castle. The party goes to the body of the Doppleganger and retrieves the map stolen from Gundren. The party finds 220 silver coins and 160 electrum coins, as well as 3 Healing Potions in the room where they fought the Doppleganger. The party rests and recovers health. They examine the map, but none of them are able to read the language it is written in. Peter is able to determine that the map is written in Druidic. The party returns to their camp, finds their guide, and employs him to take them to Thundertree. Thundertree is a ruined city, destroyed by a volcanic eruption. There is a sign that says "Danger: Plant Monsters and Zombies". They travel to the tower in the city, searching for the Druid. They find dead Giant Spiders outside the cottage next to the tower, and then try to open the door. It swings open, and they smell death. Peter looks up and sees a Green Dragon at the top of the tower. The Dragon lands on the ground, and Motton takes a shot when Fenrick steps up to it. Peter summons a spiritual weapon. The Dragon breathes poison gas onto Fenrick, bringing him down. Peter heals Fenrick, and the Dragon bites him and brings him down again. Peter heals Fenrick again, and the Dragon turns to Peter, biting and clawing into him, bringing him down. Motton lands several strikes on the Dragon as Fenricks feeds a healing potion to Peter. The Dragon breathes poison gas again on both Peter and Fenrick, bringing Peter down. Fenrick once again feeds a healing potion to Peter, as Peter channels his ability to preserve life to heal himself and Fenrick. The Dragon bites Peter and brings him down, while it swipes with its claws and misses Fenrick. Motton lands a strong blow on the Dragon while Fenrick continues his potion feeding to Peter. The Dragon backs up and breathes poison gas on the whole party, killing all three members of the party. The adventure ends....

The campaign will start in the village of Goldensword. The party meets up with each other as they flee those pursuing them. There are bands of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves that are working together to find them. They enter the village with their pursuers hot on their tail. The village starts to wake up as the party rushes down the street. There is a tall, big man with grey hair and beard that allows them entrance into his establishment, and the mob continues past around the corner. They sit and talk to the man, and the party is very suspicious of his intentions. He gives them food, which Therin eats. He tells them his name is Haggart. Therin tells him that is the worst name he has every heard. Haggart tells them that it is his village, and convinces them to stay the night. In the morning, the party wakes up and talks to Haggart. He informs them that he has need of their services. He gives them leave of the village, and tells them he will give them details later. The party leaves Haggart's home and explores the village, finding an obelisk of white stone. A teenage boy informs them it is the moon stone, and the it looks natural, untouched by human hands. Martur remembers that there is something similar in his dwarven home, but can't remember any details. The boy tells them that the gods laid the stone down to the mark the spot where they came to the world. The party finds several craftsmen about the village, as well as farmland and many friendly faces. The party is disturbed by how friendly everyone is. The population of the village is human, except for the dwarven blacksmith. The party settles in the tavern and speaks with Hanna the bartender, while having a meal. The party returns that night to Haggart's hut.
Haggart gives the party details of his request from the village of Wizwaff. His friend in that city has been dealing with some troublesome monsters, and wishes the party to go deal with it. Haggart offers them a reward upon their return as well as compensation from his friend. The party agrees and begins traveling to Wizwaff. They come to a river with a forest on the other side, cross it, and set up camp for the night. In the morning they continue traveling, and reach Wizwaff around midday. This village is double the size of Goldensword, located at the edge of the forest. The guards at the edge of town let them through after a few questions. There are numerous beggars asking for money to save the 'heroes', but the party ignore them, and find their contact at the Stone and Fist Inn. The bartender informs them that Goblins and Bugbears have been kidnapping members of the town. They hired a group of adventurers to solve the problem, and they chased off the monsters for a week. It was at that point a body was found in the town square with a ransom note on it - the adventurers have been captured. The bartender then leaves to deal with his wife that is in labor. Erasmus offers to help, nearly botches the effort, but is saved by the wetnurse. Meanwhile, a half-elf of the first adventuring crew named Lem sits down at the table with Therin and Martur, and informs them that two of his friends have been captured. He gives them the location of the goblins and urges them for their help. The party then hears a commotion outside, and find that the goblins have come to collect the ransom. Erasmus rejoins the group and they find four goblins at the edge of town. A larger goblin collects a bag from the mayor, and says "This is not enough!". Therin immediately shoots and misses, while the crowd quickly disperses. Two goblins quickly rush up to engage Therin as the other two shoot and miss Martur and Erasmus. Martur casts Thunderwave on the front two goblins, killing one and pushing the other away from Therin. Erasmus points at one of the ranged goblins and shouts "Flee", and causes the goblin to run from the battle. Therin and Erasmus engage the bigger goblin while a goblin shoots Erasmus. Therin cuts down the bigger goblin as Martur brings down the goblin with the shortbow with a Ray of Frost. Therin loots the bodies, as the fleeing goblin returns and is shot by Lem from a rooftop.
The party earns 100XP for the session.
