= The Harbringer - Prelude = <> == Session 1 == '''''29-7-16''''' ''Players: Halar, Bianfu, Mugen, Jon'' The prelude begins in [[GusTavernInn|Gus's Tavern and Inn]], a small tavern (and inn) located in the small town of [[Ravenhurst|Ravenhurst]]. Lieutenant [[HalarHighwind|Halar Highwind]] and two of his men walk in early afternoon, looking to purchase a few new rounds on their extended shore leave in the small hamlet. As usual, the tavern is sparsely populated for lunch time: the establishment's owner [[Gus|Gus]] stands behind the bar, cleaning glassware; a pair of foresters are enjoying their lunch at the dining table, while a drunkard leans back in a booth with his hat over his face. A stranger from out of town - [[BianfuKomori|Bianfu Komori]] - is stowed away in a corner table, nursing a drink while monitoring the room. Highwind walks up the bar with his men, while a new overnight guest makes his way down the stairs for food. His name is [[MugenRokuro|Mugen Rokuro]], and he is exhausted having traveled up the length of the river for nearly a week straight. Eventually, stuff happens, and there's a fight at the docks. There's a company of men, led by [[AlexanderGrau|Captain Alexander Grau]], surrounding [[IsoscelesSanchez|Sanchez]] for reasons we'll get into later. We're currently battling this now.
