So anyways last night I started my new Eberron campaign. My old campaign (also set in Eberron) wrapped up the week before. The new campaing in set in Q'Bara and I am using Saltmarsh as the starting point of the new game. The town of Saltmarsh is located by the Busara swamp in Q'bara. As players I have Two Elven rangers (One melee one ranged.) Two Fighters, and one rouge. They entered Saltmarsh from the north and found the Wicker Goat. They went in and met each other and did a little role play and then the inevitable bar brawl broke out. It was alot of fun to run this low level brawl and everyone is just pushing shoving and puching till the distance ranger breaks out his bow and takes a shot. Luckily he missed. The watch showed up and arrested the NPC who started the brawl and chastised the player character for firing his bow. the watchman demanded a bribe and the PC paid him to avoid jail. The brawl started because of an old fued between the bar owner and someone else in town who owned the local distillery. The PCs investigated and found out the source of the fued and helped to aliviate some of the tensions there. When they met the owner of the distillery he offered them some gold to go out into the swamps and find some of the ingredients for his treasured Blue Frog Ale. They truged out ino the swamp and fought some lizardmen and a harpy while trying to collect the ingredients that they were after. they returned to town mission complete. They were paid well for their efforts. Next they found flyers for the towns freek show, They went there to find that the owner was in need of some help. It seems the owner had bought an ettercap egg and mis layed it and came across i weeks later hatched. This was weighing on the mans mind heavily as the town papers were reporint a difigured man accosting persosn in the south dock slums. the group went huning for the ettercap in three groups of two one group found it and went through a heroic battle with it ending with the melee ragner bullrushing it off a rooftop. Intstead of just pushing it off the side 5 feet the ranger breavely decided to push it another 5 feet by stepping off the side of the building and going down with it. (He figured if he just pushed it off the side of the building it could just grab hold of the side of the building on the way down.) the next round one of the fighters show up from another search party just in time to deal a few points subdual damage to render it into unconsiousness. Before the fight they had visited an alchemist to purchase some anti toxin. It seems that the Alchemist needed some root from out in the marshes and was willing to pay fairly well for them. Would the group be willing to venture as far out into the swamps as the man wanted though? Well that is a question for another day. If anyone was wondering Saltmarsh and Eberron mix perfectly.
