Pickax.

Welcome friends to Highrollers presents The Curse of Strad.

A Gothic horror adventure of chills, thrills, and many blood spills.

I am your dungeon master Mark Hume's and the players joining me are as follows.

Chris Trot as Yesper the Vistani Bard,

Kim Richards as Shadows Beyond the Vale,

a Tabaxi cleric,

Katie Morrison as Rose Vanendi the Human Ranger,

Tom Hazel as Xeros Mistan the Dragonborn fighter,

and Rianen Gawa as Sikhi Mistan, the Dragonborn sorcerer. So, It is raining in Baldur's Gate, a heavy wet, chilling rain that soaks all it touches in cold and misery. Your destination, however, is warm and dry, and despite the ominous bounces outside,

the suit of animated armour and a half-oger woman, you feel a sense of relief entering

through the worn doors of the Elf Song Tavern. It is full, rowdy, and an ever-present tension of a crowd on edge falls over you.

Sitting by the fire with a deck of cards in hand and four placed neatly in front of him is the man you have been searching for.

Jaspir is a bard. You can tell by the lute kind of hanging off his back, which he then carefully placed to the side of the table.

He's looking concerned.

He's got a youthful face, very tanned, very nice black hair, definitely conditions, you think.

And he's darting his eyes around the room until he locks with the rest of the party,

and he's very eager by his body language to bring you to him.

But as yesper looks out from the bar you see two pairs entering it slightly different times but very clearly they are

travelers they are not groups that would normally frequent this place and the

most noticeable are a pair of Dragonborn.

Similar in features but very different in coloration and attire.
