Synopsis[]
The team introduces themselves and their characters, starting with Paul introducing Vyng Van Zoomba. Abdul then introduces Tachome Dhaume. Abdul also describes the fireworks festival and introduces the Fire Prophet that is important to Makal. Jessica introduces Fat Billie and his backstory, and Abdul chimes in with how Tuck and Fat Billie met. Tuck asked Fat Billie to join him on a quest, mistakenly thinking Billie was an adult Halfling due to all halfings looking small. After the character introduction, the adventure begins with our adventurers on the road to Mudlark. The area is boggy and muddy and they all find it disgusting. The area reminds Tuck of a woman he knew named Jeanine, who shoplifted a lot due to the emptiness inside of her. The group is escorting an elven schlass meat cart vendor named Colonel Dan Fossey. He is heading to Mudlark for the Hot Dog Festival. Vyng is annoyed by his connection to Colonel Dan as they are both elven but Tuck and Billie don’t understand since they are both sad orphans. They encounter a fallen tree on the path that blocks their way. Fat Billie notices that the tree was intentionally pushed over and he finds an unprofessionally hammered broken spear blade in the mud. They are able to get the horse and most of the cart through but they have to convince Colonel Dan to leave some product behind. Tuck makes a deal with Dan to leave behind his sweet schlass meet and if anyone asks for it, Dan can keep Tuck’s amulet with a picture of his mother and a horse. Colonel Dan holds onto Tuck’s amulet like a jerk to make sure the deal is kept.
