Secrets of Edál

## Campaign Overview:

Secrets of Edál, also referred to as "Season 1," is the second official campaign run by Becca. This is the first campaign to take place over multiple sessions/days. During this campaign players got to fully develop their characters beyond, and separate from, the adjacent lore from the Grammy's Country Apple Pie campaign. The campaign began on March 5th, 2022 and is still ongoing.

The following is a list of the campaign's party members and the player who played and/or voiced the character: Evander Elfbutcher (Becca), Naïlo Morningstar (Kaydee), Iolas Ivyvale (PJ), Jak (Roy), Daxter (Roy), Evander's horse, and Tinkerball (Kaydee).

## Session 1 - March 5th, 2022 - Beginnings in Bethleham:

The campaign began with a description of Bethleham, a once prosperous seafaring town that people from all sorts of backgrounds once called home. However, in recent years Bethleham has become the home of criminals of all sorts, plaguing those who own storefronts within the town and tourists who came to admire the town's fortune and charm. With this in mind, the party is described as being separated into three groups: Naïlo and Evander walking through the shopping district, Jak and Daxter enjoying time on the beach together, and Io and Tinkerball flying around the skies above. As if by fate, each group heard about an important meeting taking place in the tavern that evening and they all entered to learn more.

Each group is sat at a separate table, but all more or less within earshot of one another. After placing orders with the waitress and some shenanigans pulled by Naïlo and Io about the waitress assuming all elves are the same, yet they both "went to kindergarten together" the group eventually settles down enough to hear Ms.Pinkerton begin her speech to the tavern. Ms.Pinkerton is visibly stressed by the current situation going on within Bethleham with the recent increased crime rate and the decreased quality of life for the inhabitants of the island. She requests the help of any adventurers or heroes who are willing to take on jobs around town to try and improve the current situation. There are murmurs around the tavern and it looks like there are some parties that are more interested than others. After some consideration from this campaign's heroes, the three tables eventually combine together, introduce themselves and get to know each other, and agree to form a party to take on some of the jobs offered by Ms.Pinkerton. However, in the middle of all the introductions Evander accidentally sneezed all over Jak, Dax, and all of their food and drinks.

Before the party agrees to retire for the night, slight conflict arises between the party and nearby adventurers and the waitress. After Evander came to Naïlo's defense about earlier comments, the waitress begins to recall how Evander appears familiar. Despite Evander's denial and disinterest in further conversation, the waitress persists, comments on how Evander looks different, and recalls a half-orc that had wandered into the woods long ago. Before departing, the waitress calls Evander by "Eve," as if to suggest that there might be more to the story than Evander is letting on.

Naïlo on the other hand has trouble from her past resurface in the form of a very professional looking adventuring party sitting across the table. Evander comments about how the party shouldn't mess with them after Io gets into a staring contest with the crazy looking woman in the party. Making up the party is a very serious looking elf, the crazy looking human woman, and a blind dragonborn. Eventually the two parties move towards each other and have a short, but intimidating conversation about taking on the new quests Ms.Pinkerton is giving out.

Temporarily referred to as "The Purple Party" by those playing, the official adventuring party leaves for the night having already signed up with Ms.Pinkerton to take on some of her quests. The party meets up with Ms.Pinkerton near the stage in the tavern and, to her excitement, accept a quest from her and agree to meet her in the town hall tomorrow morning.

With this agreement, the party goes to a local inn and pays to stay for the night. Before heading to sleep, Io sneaks out of his room with Naïlo and they head to the woods near the edge of town. Bringing the poundcake Io ordered at the tavern earlier, they pick off crumbs to try and convince a nearby animal to come out of the brush so Io can tame them. Soon, a very round looking raccoon stumbles out of the bushes and gets tamed by Io, becoming a part of the party and taking the name Raquille O'Neal. When the three sneak back into the tavern, the leftover pound cake is shared by those who are still up and Raquille. With the new addition to the party, and now Io's room, Tinkerball becomes a little grumpy because he has to share his space and food with a raccoon.

## Session 2 - March 26th, 2022 - NAME:

\*\*\*

Notes to remind future PJ (pls ignore):

Party wakes up and regroups, everyone begins to notice the raccoon, the party sees their rival party and has minor disagreements/shenanigans (Bimblefart vs Stanky Breath)/etc, party moves to the town hall (late), tabaxi "situation", rival party beat them to the town hall and now the party gets the last/worst job of investing a robbery, they speak with shop owner and think the rival party did it, speak with barber and husband across the street, speak to guard that was supposed to be watching, go back to town hall with some evidence but ultimately not enough, get to investigate the rival party's room, Io defecates all over the room, they find some melted gold from a uniform(?) in the fireplace, bring it to Pinkerton (Ask Becca if more stuff happened at the end?)
