I'm
using the pre-written adventure The Mines of Phandelver for introducing two of
my players to Dungeons and Dragons and to ease me into DMing for the first time.
The
setting is basically the dwarf Gundren Rockseeker, a friend and employer for
the players, has found a map leading to the long lost mine of Phandelver.
Wizards and sorcerors had worked together with dwarves to make a wellspring of
magic for making various enchanted weapons and objects, but war had buried the
entrance to the cave and the mine was lost. Brose, Laserie, and Torment have
been tasked to escort and deliver a supply wagon to Barthen’s Provisions in the
town of Phandalin. Gundren and Harriette Redskirt, a friend and bodyguard, ride
ahead of the party and the adventure begins with the Edgy BLT a day’s ride
behind.
As
the party is leading the ox carriage, they spy a pair of dead horses in the
middle of the road. After arguing who should go and investigate further,
Torment decides to guard the wagon while Brose and Laserie go to check out the
animals. Brose recognizes the horses as Gundren’s and Harri’s, but no one
recognizes the situation as a trap.
Four
goblins jump out of the bushes, two with shortswords and another two with short
bows, and attack the bard and sorcerer. Brose takes an arrow to the shoulder
and is dropped to 2 hit points and Laserie leaves Brose behind and she flees
back and casts Chill Touch. It misses. Torment charges forward, hoping to
rescue Brose, while Brose does what she does best: scream. Brose casts Vicious
Mockery to the goblin that shot her. It looks stunned as its ears bleed and
then it falls over dead. Laserie gets creative with the Dancing Lights cantrip
and managed to distract the goblins long enough for Torment to murder the
remaining two. The final goblin tries to make a run for it and Laserie somehow
manages to hit him with a Chill Touch. The party’s first encounter ended with a
victory.
