OOC Instruction:<br/><br/>1.  I am providing players a week to complete their character sheets.<br/>2.  As such, rolls are suspended until all sheets have been turned in or a week has passed.<br/>3.  So, play will commence in free-form.<br/>4.  Players who have not yet completed their sheets may play in freeform until such a character sheet has been created.<br/><br/>With that out of the way, allow me to introduce the game start:<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://www.wargamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/dnd-cities-neverwinter-map-900x506.jpg)</div><br/>This is what the text states:<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagon load of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Haliwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business."<br/><br/>You've spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail. You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The show is now on the road, specifically within two wagons pulled by a team of oxen.  The party is split in half.  All of you are now ten gold pieces richer.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>CAPTAIN WHITEBREAD</strong></span><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/99/de/80/99de80dd4fb18a5a2b5229f5fe73ae72.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">Twin Oxenbridge</span></strong></span><br/>Human Wizard 1<br/><hr/><br/>Some time ago, before the meeting ever commenced, a young wizard approached Collin Whoreson as he practiced with his crossbow in the guard's keep in Neverwinter.  As the young man had never laid eyes on him, Twin had to double check a description of some copper pin on the guardsman's cloak.<br/><br/>"Collin Whoreson, I presume?" Twin asked, giving him a brief grin.   "I've been sent to fetch you.  Does the name Sildar Haliwinter ring a bell?"<br/><br/>
