## Adventures

### Prologue

The group of adventurers meet as they prepare to enter Amalgam. Neaqen, a firbolg and a long-time resident of Amalgam, is sponsoring the immigration of Millie, Wfits, and Reia into the city. During the ride, the group begin to interact with eachother. Wfits is noticeably cold toward the rest, which prompts Millie to cast *detect thoughts* on them. What the group does not know is that their particular skyrail car was chosen as the subject of random testing by the Amalgam government. The car stops midair when the captain disappears, and everyone in the car becomes suspicious of one another. Wfits is attacked by someone unknown, and when scanning for recent magic users, detects Millie's recent spell use. Wfits, suspicious of this, attacks Millie with a *firebolt* in retaliation, nearly knocking her out. Later, the passengers are informed that the entire situation was fabricated and meant to be a test of character for the new Amalgam immigrants. Regardless, the incident begins a hostility between Wfits and Millie that will continue to linger.

When the group arrives in Amalgam, they are given a free night's stay at a hotel as a courtesy for the random testing. Millie and Reia choose to room together, and Wfits and Neaqen are given their own separate rooms. Neaqen, worried about the events on the trip over, visits Wfits and encourages them to apologize to Millie. During the interaction, Wfits looks slightly different, although Neaqen cannot piece together why exactly. Wfits begrudgingly agrees to apologize to Millie, and when they approach the other hotel room both Millie and Reia open the door. Millie accepts Wfits' apology, but the two remain relatively cold.

### Arc 1: The Blob

The next day, the group passes through customs to obtain their official Amalgam IDs. As the city is divided into sectors, it is important that they have these on them at all times, especially as the borders of the sectors have become much more highly guarded in response to recent monster attacks. While being handed their IDs by the customs agent Delk, a mysterious figure swoops in and steals them. The group chases the figure through the streets of Amalgam, ultimately apprehending them and discovering that the figure was a non-sentient robot. By this point, Delk has managed to catch up with the group, and is about to tell them how to return to the customs center when she is attacked and dragged into the sewers by what appears to be a gelatinous cube. Neaqen implores the group not to follow and seeks the Amalgam authorities, while Wfits, Reia, and Millie venture into the sewers to rescue Delk. They manage to defeat the cube, and several slime minions, and rescue Delk. Delk offers to tell their story to the local paper, which multiple members decline, hinting at wanting anonymity for unspecified reasons.

### Arc 2:

Neaqen tells the group that they can stay with him while they remain in this sector of Amalgam. They follow him to his place of residence, which is in BeastBite Alley. Neaqen reveals that he lives in the back room of a silversmith shop run by his adoptive father figure, Gregor. Gregor, just as kind as Neaqen, is happy to let the group stay and only asks that they assist with a few chores. They spend the night, and the next day begin Gregor's tasks, with Neaqen and Wfits fixing a broken chicken coop and Millie and Reia testing magical ores. During his task, Neaqen stumbles upon the body of Mildred, one of the local chickens, dead on the roof. The body is strangely colorless and pristine except for two bloody puncture holes on the chicken's neck. Neaqen is distraught by the death of one of his and Gregor's oldest chickens, and plans a funeral for Mildred.

Reia decides to take the lead on finding the creature who killed Mildred, investigating the rumoured "Beast of BeastBite Alley." However, before this investigation can fully begin, Gregor's home is visited by Gallow Meridian, the owner of Meridian Railway and wealthy Village District board member. Gallow tells the group that he has heard how they defeated the Blob, and that he wishes to recruit them to fight another monster. He believes that, contrary to reports, the monster within the Garden District has not been defeated. In return, he offers the party one of his homes. The group accepts, although Wfits is reluctant. Gallow goes on to explain further that Amalgam is changing for the worse, with government officials capitalizing off fears for their own agendas.

**Arc 3: Bee Busters**

The group is sent to a nearby agrarian town in order to deal with a monster plaguing the town. When they get there, they meet a small family, with a young child named Flax who goes missing. The group goes off to find Flax, and enter the Fey realm and encounter a sentient bush named Jerry. After defeating Jerry, the group makes it to the inner commune, which resembles the inner workings of a beehive.

**Arc 4: ???**

After returning to their home, Wfits struggles with an breakdown and Reia sneaks out. Neaqen and Millie go after her, eventually joined by Wfits, who they do not recognize as Wfits has changed appearances, and each member encounters magical memories of their innermost traumas and the hands of some magical beings.
