Dm NotesAmy Farseer remembers the tavern's original name was 'A Place to Drink.' Timothy tells a story that Admond Gallund was secretly a demonic outsider. Williams' cache includes documents referencing coded criminal contacts in Trayalon — he destroyed most. Richie the Mouth is secretly a tiefling and double-agent connected to Solomon.
Detailed NarrativeThe session opens with a vignette: [Greg]'s character is enlisted by GRE forces defending Lightwatch farmland from Darkmoon warriors. Outnumbered, he is killed defending a refugee family and is called back by the goddess Rayne as a Brightborn paladin. The town of Lightwatch is introduced as a small fishing settlement around an old lighthouse, with the tavern (the Salty Mug, formerly A Place to Drink) as its center. Captain Mace Williams runs the town militia and tavern. Key NPCs introduced: Amy Farseer (widow fishery owner), Huntsman Seth (wandering ranger), Agatha the Crone (cleric outcast), Timothy Penep (fisherman-bard), and Richie the Mouth (local hustler with secret contacts). Jarstin, a formal envoy from Trayalon, approaches Williams about signing an allegiance treaty with the GRE. Later, Chase the Butcher and two Darkmoon rangers (Dillan and Brune) confront Williams and demand access to the town treasury. The party fights off Chase's invisible Eidolon and rangers. Afterward, Williams pays the party 500 gp each and discloses a secret underground cache he found under the tavern — originally part of a criminal network — which he has been using to trade with the GRE. The party faces a choice: side with the GRE, side with Darkmoon, or keep Lightwatch independent.
