May 19, the One Where You All Met

(Thanks to Jon) The group of six adventurers was accosted in the center of Wolfridge Crossing amidst, what seemed to be, an assault on the village by elemental creatures. During their dispatch of the nefarious elemental creatures, thunderous explosions erupted in town. After quelling the invasion, the party dispersed to their various places of familiarity in town to witness the extent of the destruction: Idilai and Vensil to the Free Temple and Vensil’s shop; Baiden to retrieve his clothes; Valandra and Anvar to the militia guard post; and Talon to Farmer’s Bahim’s farm.

Conveniently, all six characters ended up at Mayor Creen’s, and were interrupted during a conversation about Zorella being captured by messenger from Baldwin Lovell. Wervin, a conniving wretch who hung around Lovell’s vellum shop, was apparently up to no good and the root cause of the attack, at the suggestion of Baldwin. The group then set off to collect further clues and information to help them decide how to pursue Wervin.

These included:

1. Confronting Baldwin for more information and learning about Gifra;
2. Going to candlemaker Linette Holland’s shop, only to be redirected by her daughter;
3. Exploring the odd quarters of Wervin in one of the several boarding houses, wherein there were drawings of women and glorified depictions of the Feywild;
4. Checking in with Arthur Cassy at the Elven Halfpenny to see if he had any knowledge of Gifra or Wervin;
5. Seeing that congestion and damages were under control with Zedric of the town watch at the bridge; and
6. Discussing the capture of Zorella with Dromen at the Three Greased Pigs – here ale was drank, bread was eaten, and a peculiar leaf was found by Anvar near the site of Zorella’s abduction.

After relaying this information to Mayor Creen, it was decided that the group of adventurers would set off in pursuit of Wervin – the alleged culprit. The group would head to the Black River Vale at the suggestion of Baldwin Lovell, and possibly seek out Gifra for her wisdom on this peculiar leaf. Anvar, Baiden, Talon, Valandra, Idilai, and Vensil would spend the night in preparation for their trip in the morning.
