Session 1 - Heart of Darkness

A Gang of Indifferent Travellers find themselves in the company of a Merchant’s Caravan, run by the uptight Merchant, Nigel passing through the Country of Panton on its course to Medil. The various travellers find themselves introducing one another, some more hostile than others…but we find ourselves meeting the namesake members…the Uncouth Daiyu, the Quiet Dariusz, the Go-Lucky Arcturus, the “Wizard” Tylenol…as well as the Hardy Partner and Mysterious Dumah.

The Gang is introduced to Danba, a Masked Creep, “The General”, as well as a Kobold Mercenary Band led by Roaschemadyn as the Gang of Four begins their journey into the Heart of Panton…

Session 2 - It's Never Simple

The caravan comes upon a lone mysterious monk, Alban, who briefly seeks respite with the Caravan. While some are distrustful, the monk confides that he’s there on a mission of immediate priority. The party debates whether or not to pursue due to a previous encounter with two lone “bandits”. Once the caravan stops for the night, their curiosity and boredom get the better of them as they soon encounter shocking peril in an abandoned mineshaft nearby, heralded by an echoing thunderclap and haunting death rattle of Alban.

Session 3 - Even Thunder Dulls

Having been ambushed by two remaining assilants of unknown origin, the makeshift party finds itself defeating a Lightning-Infused Recusant and spelunk into an Underground Cavern where they encounter a mortally wounded Legendary Beast, Tonitruam as well as Alban’s fried corpse floating within the nearby lake. Arcturus wades his way to the Beast, receiving a Thunderous Blessing upon his forehead, with the unsure party being tasked with tracking down the responsible party, Lotte. Upon returning to the Caravan, the previous traveller Dumah is missing, and the once Mysterious Hooded Figure reveals himself to be a Theloran Agent named Ei.
