Session 0: The Job Posting

General Summary

Summary:
Ash, Nikfon, and Azahel meet for the first time at the Adventurer’s Guild in Rivermark. They discover a vague job posting requesting discreet help regarding recent caravan attacks along the King’s Highway. The Guildmaster, when questioned, denies knowing anything about it.

Deciding to pursue the job, they join a caravan heading south through the Whispering Forest. After nearly two days of travel, they arrive at the Comfortable Wolf Inn, a modest outpost near the edge of the forest. There they spot a solitary woman, Elira Voss, seated at a quiet corner table.
