Well I have now run two sessions introducing the group to each other. It's going to be a little weird as the group is now made up and the spell casters are all gnomes, a cleric, druid, and illusionist. the other PC's are human with the lone exception a half Ogre Barbarian. Since he is starting with more hit dice than the others he will have to get more experience points to compensate. I used the gnomes for the set up as they were hired to find and harvest some rare plants out in the swamp and this is where they met Humphrey the Barbarian in the swamp. He helped them defeat some bullywugs before returning to the city.
Next they met a local noble who hired the group to investigate a problem she had in dealing with the port authority. They had seized her ship for non payment of docking fees and she had paid someone to release the ship and he was refusing. The group managed to get on board the vessel and were attacked. They managed to kill the people on board and were now snooping through the ship.
We then have taken a break for our annual game convention Dak-kon 12, Badlands. The turnout for this con was slightly lower than last year but everyone had fun playing lots of different games. Now I can get back to running the Savage Tide for the next eight weeks or so before I lose half my players for the summer and we get back into playing Birthright again.
