Opening weekend
The first signs are always small – bandits on the roads, pirates on the Dessarin River, monster sightings in the Sumber Hills…
Our four adventurers meet for the first time in the small town of Red Larch, on the Long Road.
Right across the road from the Swinging Sword Inn stands a ramshackle two-story tavern: the Helm at Highsun. Rusty metal grills cover its small, dirty windows. The tavern’s name is very clearly printed in large, simple letters on both sides of a jutting wooden sign. Atop the sign is a rusting, oversized adornment: a warrior’s bucket helm with two eye slits (actually an upside-down washtub).
