Lost Mine of Phandelver: Act 1
By: Maguuma Date: December 11, 2019, 7:23 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker
asked you to bring a wagonload of provisions to the
rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days'
travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly exited and
more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip,
saying only that him and his brothers had found "something big,"
and that he'd payed you ten (10) gold pieces each for escorting
his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in
Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a
warrior escort named Sildar Hallwinter, claiming he needed to
arrive early to "take care of business." You've spent the last
few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and
you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You've
Encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be
dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the
trail."

The Adventuring party is taking the wagon full of provisions
being pulled by 2 big ox towards Phandalin. The Fighter Bjorn
controls the reins while sitting in the front, and the rest of
the party sits in the back of the wagon. The Halfling Monk
Randy, the Wood Elf Nyx, The Warlock Persephone & Half Elf Bard
Mudita. Bjorn decides to make some conversation to get to know
his party better.
Bjorn: This looks like a fine group if i do say so my self, how
did all of you come to meet Gundren? I'm Bjorn and i owe him a
favor as he helped me search for some ancient giant runes in the
past, for a price. Hehe that crazy dwarf.
The bard Mudita players a soft merry tune while giving Bjorn an
answer.
Mudita: Oooo there once was a bard who got in some trouble, the
fruit of a lady he tasted so sweet, her father found out and
said "Off with his head" then along came a Dwarf with help on
the double. Mudita Bard extraordinaire at your service.
The rogue in the party claps with a smile as the bard gave his
answer in song form.
Nyx: Bravo haha you're good. The name is Nyx, lets just say me
and the dwarf have a mutual understanding.
Next the monk Randy would speak.
Randy: I'm the macho halfling, the toughest son of a gun this
plane has ever seen. Professional Brawler and entertainer, the
cream of the crop, the champion of the people oh yea. I helped
the dwarf in the past out of a jam and he presented me with a
business opportunity that has the possibility of spreading my
name far and wide if successful. The macho halfling does not let
such an opportunity go to waste.
Randy flexes his muscles although he dint have as much as Bjorn
as he sported a more lean build. Next up was the warlock.
Persephone: My name is Persephone and im a Warlock. Im on a
noble quest to remove an 'affliction' and help those in need
when ever i can. I've met Gundren a few years ago while in my
travels, we helped each other out of a precarious situation and
as fate would have it we are working together again.
Bjorn laughs heartily at the responses and introductions of his
companions
Bjorn: Hahaha i see we're all tied to him in one way of another,
most likely due to a favor or other unsavory tasks. Well it's
nice to meet you all, it wont be long now just need to make a
turn here.

You've been on the Triboar Trail for about half a day. As you
come around a bend, you spot two dead horses sprawled about
fifty feet ahead of you, blocking the path. Each has several
black-feathered arrows sticking out of it. The woods press close
to the trail here, with a steep embankment and a dense ticket on
each side.

Bjorn stops the wagon as they approach the blockade on the road,
he narrows his eyes while placing his hand on his weapons hilt.
Bjorn: That does not bode well stay alert, you never know what
might be lurking nearby.
Nyx: Looks like the perfect set up for an ambush if you ask me.
Randy: Bring it, il show them how a real man fights.
Mudita: Someone should go investigate those horses, any
volunteers?
Persephone: Il go, watch my back
Mudita: How brave of you m'lady, il be watching carefully from
the wagon, you can count on me.
Persephone steps out of the back of the wagon as she walks over
towards the dead horses, meanwhile Bjorn steps off the wagon and
stands next to the oxes with a weapon drawn as he looked around
the area. Nyx and Randy would both get of the wagon and stand
next to it as they look around at the road and forest, Nyx on
the left side and Randy on the right side of the wagon.
Bjorn: Find anything?
Persephone inspect the horses for anything that might stand out
Persephone: Not yet.

Upon closer investigation you can tell the horses belong to
Gundren & Sildar. They been dead about a day, the cause being
the arrows sticking out of them.

Persephone: These are Gundren and Sildar's horses, i remember
them. No dwarf corpse so that's a good sign, perhaps they
escaped.
Bjorn: Damm bandits, we should move on before we suffer the same
fate. I don't want to get ambush with this wagon full of goods.
Everyone nods as they get ready to continue their journey.

The goblings come out of hiding in pairs setting foot on the

Nyx managed to notice something deep in the bushes near the road
as she gives the party a yell.
Nyx: Ambush!!!
Sadly for Randy and Persephone they reacted to slow and got
caught off guard as they came in for their attack. Bjorn grabbed
his Handaxes in each hand while smiling as he stretched his arms
as they charged.
Bjorn: This ought to be fun, FOR THE ALL FATHER!!!
Mudita: Oh dear those are the ugliest goblins i've ever seen. Il
stay back and provide support from the relative safety of the
wagon.
Mudita grabbed his shawm and placed it to his mouth.
Randy: You think you can surprised the Macho Halfling and get
away with it, think again you ugly ball of hair, im bringing the
pain oh yea!
Persephone: Bastards! they will taste my blade.
Nyx using her quickness and agility as a rogue engages the
running gobling with the scimitar behind the wagon while taking
out her shortswords. She attempts to stab at the gobling with
one of her swords but the gobling sidesteps causing her to miss.
Next she attempts a slash at the goblings midsection but it
parries her blow.
Nyx: Looks like they are not with out some skill.
