Conscripted Episode 1

Episode 1 - The Goblins of Mukmak
Summary of the Session:

This episode started off by introducing the heroes to each other at the Arefore Militia base camp. We are introduced to Shaaxsaga Grimhilt; a Hobgoblin Magus, Arius Stormclaw; a Human Sorcerer; and Jack; a Human Ranger. After some brief introductions and some showing off, the party is assembled and met with less members than their peers. The group was met with a representative of the Militia, a Cleric, who offered the group magic necklaces (necklaces of cure light wounds) to make up for the group missing members. The Cleric gives the group their first task: collecting taxes from a new Goblin village named Mukmak.

After collecting supplies, the party heads out on the road. The party runs into their first encounter on the way to the village - a angry bison. After defeating the creature, Jack almost passes out but uses his necklace to recover from his wounds. There, the party meets Ozymandias "Ozy" Casimir; a Human monk. Ozy was badly wounded and was the only survivor of a previous group sent out on the same task but did not make the journey due to lions.

Upon reaching the town of Goblins, the party approached cautiously as they did not know how they would be received. After sending in Shaaxsaga to do some recon at the local tavern, the group learned that they needed to speak with the town leader, Muk. Shaaxsaga also encountered a strange liquid called "Boom-Boom Juice" but did not fill the party in on what this liquid does.

After speaking with Muk, the party negotiates the taxes to be paid in exchange for the party clearing out a human hound master harassing the village. The party decides to gather some more information that night before taking a rest to tackle the problem in the morning. The session ended on the cliffhanger of the coming encounter.
