Dm NotesThis session establishes the NorthFringe setting and its resident cast. Chuga and Lug are meant for comic relief and become village protectors. Safa's presence (pregnant with Finn's child) is a personal complication for that PC. The 'dead problem' is deliberately kept vague here — the party should be curious but not yet know about Niko. The Freespirit follower calming zombies with weed is a possible sight-gag encounter if time allows.
Detailed NarrativeMultiple portals opened simultaneously across the Trayalon Gate War battlefield. Among those flung through: Pat's character (expelled by Prison Plane instability and landed on another PC), Sean/Addot (drawn by a vision of undead-touched lands), a pregnant woman (Safa, Finn Gallund's former lover), and the full Escape from Trayalon roster of established party members. In the NorthFringe forest, Chuga announces he smells food; Lug follows; Lug eyes the pregnant Safa with unsettling food-interest. Chuga keeps Lug from causing trouble. The party reaches No Name Village — a newly formed, nameless settlement. Mayor Amos greets them warmly, explaining they don't get many visitors and that the village has 'a bit of a dead problem — well, the dead aren't really the problem but it's what happens after they die.' Village residents include Clifford, Felix, and Lara (farmers), Jabebs and Glatmuk (goblins), Feno (Suli), and others. The party encounters zombie sheep — Niko Northen's undead-managed flock — which sparks curiosity about what is going on nearby. Screams in the distance lead to a minor fight. The session ends with the party beginning to integrate with the locals and noticing the zombie farm beyond the village.
SummaryThe party is flung through portals opened during the Trayalon Gate War and lands in the NorthFringe wilderness. After a disorienting arrival — Pat's character dumped by Prison Plane instability, Sean's character drawn through by an undead-touched vision — the survivors make their way through a forest. They encounter Chuga and Lug, a pair of large, simple-minded creatures who become unlikely companions. The party then finds No Name Village, a tiny unnamed settlement run by the friendly but bumbling Mayor Amos. They meet zombie sheep, discover a 'dead problem' afflicting the village, and integrate with the locals. Rewards: basic equipment and potions looted from risen dead.
