Session 1

Day 1

We (the Band of 8) low-class (none of us are elves) adventurers met up and were briefed by our Cleric on an urgent mission for the his Church. We are to follow a map to the suspected location of a very rare metal Holy Symbol lost for many years and supposed to have great associated powers. We'll earn the goodwill of the church by doing so and of course get a free map as well. It appears that the map is a copy of a copy that has been around a while and is always sold for a sizable sum of funds. We were told to be subtle so others didn't know what we were about and to beware of at least 2 other groups that are also currently looking for the treasure but involve the evil overlord elves as part of their groups.

We immediately leave grab our stuff and board a barge heading down river as our target is a town 200 miles south (the closest river point to where we are heading) some (approx) 5 days travel. We travel the night.

Day 2

We come to xxx and find a party we think might be the one we were warned about but can't find anymore information and flee before the bard gets us into trouble. Another night travelling on the barge

Day 3

Another small town come up but we're in a strong current and the captain decides to not stop and ride the faster pace towards our destination.

Day 4

We arrive at xxx.
We depart heading westwards after saying to everyone that we were heading north so as to lay a false trail - oh so cunning!
