Sildar Hallwinter: Human (alive?) rescued. is a kindhearted human male of nearly fifty years who holds a place of honor in the famous griffon cavalry of the great city of Waterdeep. He is an agent of the Harpers, a faction of adventurers concerned with mutual security and prosperity. Members of the order ensure the safety of cities and other settlements by proactively eliminating threats by any means, while bringing honor and glory to their leaders and homelands.

- Sildar met Gundren Rockseeker in Neverwinter and agreed to accompany him back to Phandalin. Sildar wants to investigate the fate of Iarno Albrek, a human wizard and fellow member of the Harpers who disappeared shortly after arriving in Phandalin. Sildar hopes to learn what happened to Iarno, assist Gundren in reopening the old mine, and help restore Phandalin to a civilized center of wealth and prosperity.

### **Sessions**

Jaxster having arrived in Neverwinter starts looking for work when he meets a elf named \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ who tells him about the Neverwinter's Rangers. Jaxster interested decides to join but as a test he directs Jaxster to Gundren to do a job.

#### **One to Five**

**1)** The Group Gets together and starts escorting the cart to Phandelver. on the way we see some dead horses. they stop to investigate and find some goblins but a good perception means they dont get ambushed. The party defeats the goblins who tell them Gundren has been captured and taken to a nearby cave. They head to the cave and fight through a bunch of goblins then meet up with a bugbear. Finnegan wrestles with the bugbear but neither seem to be getting the upper hand ( bad rolls on both player and dm side) untill Jaxster walks over and decapitates the bugbear. a few goblins run away

**2)** we walk through the cave and find about 6 goblins and Rasmus deceives them to release a new party member (Melvin) and Sildar. after we free them we decide to kill them as they will still terrorize travelers. Melvin walks up to them and scorches them with burning hands and we finish them off without to much trouble. I feed some of the dead goblins to the doggies. We arrive in town and head to the Stone Hill Inn and grab some food an sleep for the night.

*In middle of night has a dream of hunting a creature in a ruined city. i try to stealth in but have feeling im being watched. then a green flashes over me and I wake up in a cold sweat. (dragons and kobalds attacking the greenfields cult of the dragon)possibly?*

The next day we go to Barthaon's Provisions and deliver the good and buy some supplies. Melvin and Varzo decide to have a expedition match that night

**3)** we deliver the goods get some information from Lienne Greywind. go talk to the Mayor who is having a arguement with Sildor over a merc band called the redbrand.

orcs near wyvrntour -reward. the mayor offers 200g

we meet the red brand guys and they mouth off to us we start a fight. I crit the guy who mouth offs and kill him. one redbrand rolls 4 1's in a row to hit Rasmus, and his friends mock him. one gets incapacitated with hidious laughing. they double team Varzo and knock him unconscious, one tries to run and gets killed with eldritch blast by Rasmus. Melvin revives Varzo who catches another guy who tries to run but gets killed with opportunity attack. we interrogate the last and get info on the redbrand facility then let him run. *(he teams up with that goblin we let go earlier and they seek revenge)*

**4)** *we scout the building and see a kid running away towards a farm.* (the benny hill session)

Melvin decides to infiltrate with Varzo as captive. they successfully deceive the guard and get in. they put Varzo in jail and eventually meet a spellcaster who see through there deception and a fight ensues. they take out a bunch of guys with grease and a flaming hands spell. (finnigan has it out for a rat but misses his first attack). Melvin hurts the spellcaster severely with inflict wounds. but before they can knock him out he misty steps away (funny enough to a room right where Jaxster is). they get the group to surrender while Jaxster tries to get to the party but encounters a room full of traps. then suddenly glassstaff appears and so does Varzo, before anyone can act Varzo hits Glassstaff with a holy rock and takes him out. (we find a staff of defense)

**5)** we check the creature and find it as a Nothic. after some talking we fight it (it discovers a secret about both Varo and Me ). It hits Varzo with a slash, I get a decent arrow hit and Varzo gets a massive **crit (41 damage almost 1 shotting it).** before we can do much the goblins come running being followed by 2 bugbears. we succeed in stealth **(nat 20 for me).** Varzo finds a sword of soaring. we get ready and the bugbears come back. we kill him. we take Glassstaff to Sildor and find his true name. Sildor interrogates Glassstaff and we get a bunch of info. we decide to go after cragmaw castle but before we do we rest at the inn for the night.

#### **Six to ten**

**6)** we start out the session selling the redbrand stuff to pass the rest of the day. the fight Varzo gets 2 great rounds of attacks. Melven gets a hit or two in but Varzo dominates the match ends with Varzo throwing his net then grabbing Melvin and throwing him through a table. The next day Melvin tells us hes leaving the group but escorting Glassstaff back to Neverwinter we decide to head twords cragmaw. 2 days to cragmaw. 1st day fine, 2nd day we get to the castle and i scout out (find a bunch of goblins about 10 with a pudgy ones bullying/bossing them around). we enter and a bugbear takes us to a grick (im invisible). they take us in a room where we see a drow and Gundren tied up.

about 2 weeks from start to cragmaw

ghoul sighted at old owl well

**7)** we talk to a drow and Varzo deceives (he rolls a nat one but lucky we have advantage and get a 10) and talk them into taking us. i try to leave and after a few meh rolls manage to stealth out. we regroup. and go back to the road and camp for the night. while camping we notice something peering into our minds. during the third watch something impersonates me and takes Gundren and runs. i get a good hit on him and varzo gets a clutch command. we surround it and Varzo and I knock it unconscious it transforms back into a doppelganger. we try to interrogate it but it gives no info. the group is on the fence but i kill it. we decide to drop Gundren off back to Phandlen while we deal with the cave

**8)** We take Gundren back to town and meet an adventurer named Sen who is tending to an injured blacksmith. we talk then he decides to join us. we resume our travels and that night encounter some goblins we decide to take em out and do so easily enough. After 2 days travel we reach cornyberry ( Varzo and I fail campfire checks, Sen passes) we give the item to a banshee named Agatha who tells us general knowledge about the spider. that night we get a crazy good roll (dm rolls d% where we need 1-15 and we roll a 10) and find a mail carrier and I send letter back to Sildor.

**9)** we start combat i get a crit off the bat and heavily injure . and are slowed. he tries to run but Sen catches him and subdues him. the red mage misty steps and take away the axe. the zombie surround me and we start picking a few off when Zaxxax arrives. I get free of the zombies but they barace the enterance so I throw a moltov and set the tower on fire. the red mage escapes but we find some maps and some money.. Zaxxax tries to intimidate us and I shoot him. Rasmus casts darkness and we knock eachother out. we camp for the night and they tie us together.
