Mike from WorD started up his Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign last night, and much fun was had by all. I'm playing Seamus Coffeepot, a lightfoot halfling barbarian and widower. Jamie rolled up Alphnia Teekla (sorry, honey, if I misspelled it), a gold halfling cleric and Seamus's sister-in-law. Pete (also from WorD) is playing a drow wizard named Suhl, and Steve (just met him) is playing Drake, a human ranger.
The four of us met up on a caravan heading to a holy site. We were promptly set upon by kobold slavers. (Hey, look! We're 1st level!) After dispatching the kobolds, we questioned two that had mysteriously fallen asleep at the beginning of the combat. (Kalamar is low magic, and Suhl has cunningly concealed his spellcasting from us by casting spells when nobody else is paying attention to him.) We eventually got information from them -- their clan was hired by humans to capture slaves for delivery.
Baylin, a cleric of the Guardian with the caravan, informed us that 18 people had been carried off during the raid and demanded that we go after them. It took some convincing to get me to go (I was taking my dead wife's ashes to the holy site for burial), but in the morning, we set out. We came across a few kobold patrols, and Suhl dropped a fleeing kobold at nearly max range with a natural 20. Eventually, we reached the slaver camp on the beach, and we adjorned the session plotting our ambush.
Overall, a lot of fun, and I look forward to the next session. It's going to be a bi-weekly game, so next session is after Gen Con.
