Season 1 - Episode 1 - I Crit Myself

Saphina Thornbyrne, in the quest to find her missing grandfather, finds herself on the streets of Illar's Berth. She is on the run from her father and considered a missing person. When a couple of Copper Mantles and mercenary, comprised of Scarlett, Aggamir, and their (kind of) boss Irzek Brightscale catch a glimpse of the fugitive, they take off after her, following her down into the catacombs.

Saphina accidentally runs into Drusilla's dwelling, where she gets taken in and given shelter. Saph and Dru become friendly pretty quickly as they chit chat and drink gross tea. Saphina starts opening up about her missing grandfather. The Copper's, having followed Saph into the catacombs but lost her, pick back up on their original quest to investigate recent talk of undead sighted in the catacombs. Aggamir and Scar converse about how they've never seen undead in their adventures. Irzek interjects that there are no such thing as undead, that they don't exist since there are no Gods.

Scar and Aggie are conversing when Irzek suddenly calls their attention to their surroundings. Upon a little investigation, they discover Dru's alcove. Drusilla frantically rushes Saph to a trapdoor hidden under a rug as she throws as much as she can carry into bags. Dru doesn't want anyone to find out she's been living down here. The two fugitives make their way down the trapdoor and through the tunnel, which circles back to the main corridor. They can see the Mantles and Mercenary bust down the curtain and head into the alcove. Dru grabs Saph's hand and the two of them take off in the opposite direction.

Drusilla leads Saph out of the catacombs and to her secondary hiding spot, in a park across the street from the entrance. It is sunset dusk time. There is a dilapidated building that Dru uses for emergency purposes. Scar, Aggie, and Irzek investigate Dru's home in the catacombs, eventually discovering that the two fugitives slipped around them using a trapdoor and tunnel. Their search leads them up and out of the catacombs and to this dilapidated building.

Thinking they have a bit of a reprieve, Dru and Saph are able to talk more. That's when Saph notices and brings up Dru's shining, golden skin. Drusilla explains that she is an Eladrin and Saphina shows off her Thunder Canon, Cricket.

Scar, Aggie, and Irzek stealthily make their approach to the hideout. They reach an entry/vantage point where they can see the two figures. Irzek recognizes the smaller figure as the Halfling they were chasing eariler, and at that moment, Dru pulls back her hood to reveal her golden skin. Irzek shouts:

"There's the Halfling we were looking for! And look, that's an Eladrin! That's her! She stole that child!"

Dru protectively runs in front of Saph, guarding her. As Scar and Aggie question Irzek's decisions, Saphina jumps out from behind Dru, aiming Cricket directly at the Dragonborn Copper Mantle. Seeing this escalating too quickly, Scar tries to ease tensions by establishing that Dru did not "steal" Saph. However, things get heated again when Scarlett asks Drusilla what/who she is. Dru covers up, trying to play it off, but Irzek doesn't back down. He instead begins approaching the two, preparing to apprehend them. Drusilla pulls her dagger on Irzek to try and get him to back off. When he refuses, she casts Inflict Wounds on him.

# Village Idiot

Looks like Nate forgot to name a Village Idiot during this episode, but makes up for it in episode 2 when he names himself the Village Idiot. Nate did the weird recording thing, so....
