Session Journal/session 1

DM summary:

As our heroes entered the old temple to the gods, rocks fell and all died.

But hope is not yet lost! Rumors of new temple inhabitants - a swarm of rats - spreads throughout the land. They are biding their time, awaiting the precise moment to strike.

Player (Andy) summary:

The 4 player characters found themselves caught in a terrible storm outside of a mysterious monastery. Eventually making their way inside, they found two ethereal beings fighting amongst one another. Joining the battle after supplying themselves, they proceeding to help Backwin defeat Lud. A short interrogation ensued whereupon the players learned that Blackwin had actually died but had been sent back for reasons unknown to him, also stating that he saw "endless hordes"... Creepy!

Blackwin and the druid then went out to grab an amulet from one of the charred remains of victim outside. Afterwards, Blackwin decided to spend the evening meditating in the main room of the monastery, but was unable to successfully finish his ritual and stated that he is unsure as to what significance that holds. The players, still confused as to the significance of everything happening, has seemed to figure out their next step - to find the remaining 3 amulets and place them in the monastery alter.
