Adventurers needed immediately for a retrieval mission. Time is of the essence. Meet at the third warehouse on the left before nightfall.

Plot Synopsis

As the group arrives they are introduced to their employers Aris and Aaron. They find out that they are being hired to find some missing comrades that are lost on another world. After some negotiations and proving of themselves they prepare to leave. They are escorted to a portal where they proceed to another world.

Once there they have to make a choice on direction, the forest, the swamp, or the mountains. They choose the forest and proceed. The weather is rather unpleasant and after many hours of walking (some tirelessly) they decided to camp for the night outside the forest. Noises are heard from inside the forest, but the first two watches generally ignore them. When third watch comes on they decided the noises should be easy to reproduce which they attempt to do, causing much unhappiness to the sleeping mages. Paul does go in to the forest trying to follow some footsteps, but finds nothing,

That next morning the group decides to split up. Tyn, Paul, and Gideon head towards where they thought the sounds from last night were coming. They come across a river where Paul enters and gets pulled under by and unknown dark force. Much struggling ensues. When the other part of the party arrives, hearing the calls of Tyn. Tanis is able to pull Paul free of the waters grip easily. Mini-G and Tanis then chase the dark water, hitting it with lightening bolts until is disperses and they lose take of it.

While the group debates their next actions (such as finding food) Sotara feels this is a prudent time to take a nap. While sleeping she believes someone is trying to contact her. The rest of the party decides food is good so after much animal calling food comes to them and it is killed and cooked up. This lovely aroma attracts some local predators. These are rather easily vanquished. the group decides the people they are here to find are probably dead and that they should go home. On they way out the group splits again. Tyn and Gideon spot some holes in a tree and decided to investigate. Sotara and Tanner decided to take naps. Dom stays at the edge of the forest, and the rest head towards the portal (Enmassed for speed). Sotara and Tanner have visions while sleeping until Tyn and Gideon wake them up when they get a bad feeling about the area. The rest of the party then proceeds to the portal. They share what information they have gathered and go about their separate ways.
