The first session went well! We made characters for the first half of the session. One Boccord, two Muadras, and a Human. The guys seemed to like the more skill-based rules once we got into it. They were used to class based games. I only had to tweak a few things on the fly to my BRP D100 rules hack/hybrid.

While the characters were working on Tonista's (Bronth) Durlig/Hilc farm (outside of Joble in the Sobayid) they noticed that a bunch of Beagres had tore into the crops the night before so they were going to go after them... when a Warp (teleporting gateway) appeared, and a semi-frozen Thriddle exited it. Snow was pouring out of it from an icy Skyrealm and covering the crops. A monstrous Cleash followed after the Thriddle, and the party killed it swiftly (due to a lucky crit roll by my son). They looted the Cleash Capsules from it that had 3 effects (cold damage, light, and smoke). They burned its corpse quickly away from the fields.

They hunted and trapped the Beagres, and slaughtered them. Later they skinned them and made a lot of jerky from them with special directions from the Thriddle who was named Tonista also had a minor spat with her other worker Johan (Boccord) who tends to drink too much. 

 

After the human character intimidated the Thriddle it gave them a few Shanthic Artifacts, and later it tried to say those were thank you to the characters for saving its life. The Boccord got a Shanthic Blade with a powerful Shantha trapped inside of it, and the Muadras learned a few Dyshas from a Sarceen (teaching item carved from raw isho energy).

Tonista made a huge meal for everyone, and she gave them a lot of servings of Durlig and Hilc to take with them. She thought that her best workers were leaving for good, but they promised to return.

They plan to turn in Beagre skulls for a bounty in the nearby Thivin town of Joble. They might go back to the Skyrealm if they can reopen the Warp (both of the Muadras can), and they promised to eventually take the Thriddle to the northern city of Ardoth (his home).

We hope to play again next month in November. I can't wait. :)
