Session 1 - Swallowtail Festival

Sunday Rova 1 4707 A.R. - First day of Fall

Budwar, Preacher, Phain, and Xantumal are all in Sandpoint for various reasons (All still unknown to anyone but themselves). Sandpoint is celebrating the first day of fall with the Swallowtail Festival that also has a second purpose in consecrating their new cathedral.

The festival went fine until Father Zantus began the ceremony at dusk with a thunderstone. Right after that the goblins appeared. A pack of three goblins killed a dog which got Xantumal's and his animal companion, Hogie's attention. They quickly disposed of the goblins with the aid of Preacher.

Soon all 4 of their attentions would be drawn to some new screams and a roaring fire. They appeared on the scene to see a number of goblins including one that seemed to be chanting a song inspiring the goblins. Xantumal and his wolf attacked that goblin, and Phain finished him off with a devasting blow.

After the rest of the goblins were dispatched, the group heard a cry for help nearby. Aldern Foxglove, who is a nobleman from Magnimar that had arrived with Budwar, was about to be killed by a large goblin on a wardog. The Druid charmed the wardog and commanding it to roll over, while the others began to attack the rider. Phain landed another strong blow after chanting something first.

Aldern was saved and the group became local heroes for their effort. The received a free room at the Rusty Dragon that night as well as a celebration feast made by Ameiko Kijitsu.

The next day the group found the whole town a buzz with their accomplishments. They attended the smaller ceremony to consecrate the cathedral. The group asked questions of the town's past.

The town was built a little over 40 years. Five years ago there was a string of murders done by a recluse on an island whose name was Stoot, but was called Chopper. Once all the clues led to him being responsible, he commited suicide. A few months later the town's cathedral burned down killing Father Tobyn and his daughter Nualia in their sleep. Since then the town has prospered and recovered leading up to the new cathedral that was built.

Budwar accepted Aldern's invitation to Boar hunt as a way to say thank you for the rescue. The rest of the group, feeling a little uncomfortable with Aldern's "mancrush" on the paladin, made up excuses on why they couldn't go. Aldern purchsed a light riding horse for Budwar for the hunt and also rewarded the group 50 gold. Preacher visited the boneyard in town to make sure nothing was disturbed in the attack. Xantumal stayed at the Rusty Dragon waiting for the ranger Shalelu to come with news. Phain ventured out and was approached by a young lady needing help killing rats in her father's basement. Sensing a trap he hesitantly went with her, and was pleasantly surprised as her bodice fell to the floor. But once in the throws of passion he did not hear her father come down the stairs. Panicking he assured the father that he was going to marry her so he was able to leave without a fight.
