Session 1

In the town of Pondwallow, a small settlement at the edge of the Empire located on the Frogsborne swamp, a group of stangers have all accepted a job for "Pest Extermination" and were told to meet in the Soaking Frog to receive further instruction. The makeshift team consists of:


 * Enned "Enn" Chandar, a human farmer with some occasional arcane abilities, has taken the job to get coin, having traveled to the town initially over a rumor of a swamp wizard.


 * Leilani Aquino, a pre-teen centaur on a journey who wields a large sword.


 * Soli Auralia, a traveling merchant shifter with a collapsible cart, who has been venturing with:


 * Gespen, a strange humanoid figure with pale skin and black eyes.


 * Jasirus, a tall, elven figure with an icy demeanor and appearance.

While conversing at a large table in the corner, two cloaked figures arrive, revealing themselves to be Cathal and Oslow, members of the Royal Army and the posters of the job. Oslow explains that the extermination is for a group of rats in the local boardinghouse, but warns them that the creatures are not normal and are more dangerous than normal.

The group scouts the building, plugs a hole in the back, and cautiously enters inside. After a prolonged battle with a dozen large, twisted giant rats and a couple of close calls, the party angrily confronts the two. The group is paid a modest sum and asked to help collect the strange purple crystals remaining inside the rapidly dissolving corpses. The party returns to the tavern to drink and unwind after the harrowing encounter, and Oslow pulls Soli aside, offering the team work if they visit the Capital.
