Concluded

Set in and around Phandalin, Dragons and Ice ran the Dragon of Icespire Peak module, a classic starter adventure with a distinctly non-starter problem at the center of it. A white dragon has decided the region is hers, and the town of Phandalin is inconveniently in the way.

Seven players. An unusual concentration of ex-mercenaries for one party. At least one person with a very unorthodox religious affiliation. They handled it.

The Party

Church of Shakira
D'vid Bow'ee

Devoted follower of a very specific deity. Nobody asks too many questions. He seems fine with that.

Sun Elf · Cleric of Oghma
Rhogar the Exiled

Called by the god of knowledge to reclaim a defiled shrine in Cragmaw Castle. Brother of Sorah. Has a mission and a very serious attitude about both.

Sun Elf · Noble
Sorah the Exiled

Rhogar's sister. Noble background. Handles the parts of adventuring that require someone who knows how to talk to powerful people without starting a fight.

Phandalin Local
Stella Mae Rivas

Lives in Phandalin. Mother of a necromancer. Handling that just fine, thank you for asking.

Ex-Mercenary · Mintarn
Stormothy Fairweather

Former Mintarn soldier who left over a matter of conscience. Now follows Marthammor Duin and keeps the group from doing anything too obviously wrong. Usually.

Ex-Mercenary · Mintarn
Tricksi Stardust

Another ex-Mintarn. Best friend of Stormothy. Same background, different name, equally questionable call sign.

Barbarian
Vigga Karlson

Was a shepherd. Stood up to a tyrant's agents. Turned out she was very good at the fighting part. Stormothy hired her. Blunt about everything, always.
