Evolites - A Pathfinder Tale (2)

in #gaming6 years ago (edited)

We did it! Day one of my campaign completed. :)
So let's cut to it, here's what happened....

//Travelling to Ul'Roth

You make haste to the city, noticing a lot of traffic on the way.

It makes travel easy for the most part, obviously no bandits are going to attack a large parade of travelers like this.
And as you start getting closer to the city things start getting congested. As you finally get within a couple stones throw from the gates, you see lines begin forming. You just follow the crowd.

//Entering the city

After long waits in many lines, you seem to be in front. a man almost immediately flags you down to come talk to him.

"Greeting Festival Patron, I see you have received your Evolite. Lucky for you, that means you get in free. I'm sure you have many questions, but I will not be the one to answer them. Please enter the city, there are plenty of booths and vendors set up. Let them answer your curiosities."

Immediately after he finishes talking, a guard leads you in the direction to go, "And keep your weapons out of your hands in the city, we don't need blood in the streets...your blood i mean." He leads you passed the gates, you continue walking and making your way through many crowds. You finally make it to a crowded, but open road with many wooden booths and stands set up along the sides. There is music in the air, chattering of many festival patrons, and excitement everywhere.

While gazing your eyes over the crowd you see a few other people with evolites as plain as yours. They are all standing near a booth with a unique symbol. You quickly spot a few more booths just like it, each with a unique symbol. You decide to step closer considering it's probably your best chance to get some more information. Lucky for you, just as you step up, the others are walking away. The host greets you...

//My Players Choices.

I didn't want this to happen, but we had a full party split in guild choice.

  • Fox the Archer Fighter chose Maelstrom for unknown incentives
  • Tuna the Luckbringer chose Murua for her connections to artisans.
  • Jauntier the Theurge chose Fey for it was his twin siblings guild and for they are the keepers of knowledge.
  • NPC Domn the Shield Fighter got annoyed at the choices of the group and decided to spend 10,000 Gold and sanctify his own guild. He got the money from his rich adventurer parents.

The 4 went their separate ways and ate at the festival feast. Each returned after an easy night of various entertainment and free food, ready for tomorrow. In the morning, the party was each abruptly awoken by their respective quest handlers.

"Rise and shine newbies! It's time for your initiation quest! Proof yourselves truly worthy of our guilds hospitality."
