Adventure 1 Recap

"Midwife to a Stillborn Dream"
Adventure 1 Recap

Our three adventurers find themselves in the mountain city of Coventry, having never met one another.

Argon arrives as a garrison rotation in the Blood Legion, but as the frontier is quiet right now, he is at liberty to pursue his own interests.

Daltan also arrives at Coventry, posted there as a Rose Order representative. He will receive further instructions in time.

Reneth has been in the city for a few days, having decided it would be worth spending time in this unusual human habitation.

The three go to a wedding for some high status nobles; Daltan as a formal guest (his own high status made him a valuable addition to the guest list), Reneth as part of the multicultural entertainment troupe, and Argon as a simple gatecrasher.

At the reception, a Yow-Lao joydancer (also there as part of the multicultural entertainment) shocked the crowd with her desperate request for asylum among the humans. Her two slavemaster escorts attempted to restrain her, but their attempts were thwarted by Daltan and Argon. Reneth found the affair curious, but disagreed with the concept of slavery enough to attempt to convince the slavers to let the woman go.

The local law arrived soon after, and Daltan explained that she was under his protection from the slavers, as slavery was contrary to Imperial Law. The leader of the local law contingent listened to Daltan's speech, then asked Daltan if he would be willing to protect a murderess.
