Description: More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.
For centuries, rumors of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough-and-tumble frontier town.
The party is approximately halfway through the LMoP module. We have a half-elf cleric, human barbarian, aasimar warlock and a wood elf ranger. The schedule is somewhat loose in that we work around everyone's schedule as much as possible. The players have stepped up to run one off adventures from time to time. The major selling point I am trying to convey is we are a group of people that are coming together to have as much fun as possible playing a VTTRPG.
We don't want any power gamers or meta gamers. Having stated that, I have no issue if you have played or read the modules in the past, but I will not tolerate someone ruining the game by constantly using that information when the character wouldn't know about it.
Newbies are definitely welcome.
