Dungeons and Dragons Campaign: Sessions 1 -5 (Before the Notes)

Campaign 1: Tropes Ahoy!

Intro: The 4 Orc generals have stormed Pythion's castle and burst into the room where he is.  Pythion is in the middle of casting a spell and HIS 4 generals (a Genasi, an Elf, a Warforged and a Shifter) fight with the Orcs.  In the middle of the battle one of the generals throws their battle axe at Pythion - disrupting the spell and making the world go funny before fading into black.

Sessions 1-5 (Before the Notes)

First session: Orc generals wake up in the bodies of Pythion's generals. (Ligeth as Genasi female, Roth as Elven female (the gender identification is an issue later), Clink as Warforged, Ry as Shifter male)  After taking stock the generals explore the ruined tower they are in.  Peeking out windows shows that it is in the middle of a wasteland on a cliff with only one bridge to the mainland and the bridge is guarded by a ginormous troll (? something big at least)  They meet 2 were-rats and steal a map off of them.  Then they find an Astral Traveller chained up in the tower.  they attempt to get around the troll without making a deal with the traveller (as that they are known to be shifty and this one wants an unknown favour for dealing with the troll) however there is no apparent way.  They make a deal and let the traveller free. It defeats the Troll and the generals fight the were-rats and they make it off the cliff and the Traveller disappears.  They travel along until they get to a town called Glern.  In the process of gaining info about the town and the Astral Traveller they make a ruckus and are kicked out of the town.  They are sent across the bridge to Glorn (town of only humans - bigots!) and fight their way into the town and also maybe burn the bridge down on their way in (thanks Ry, for the fire magic).  After being tricked by an Orc CLAIMING to be some famous Orc guy that I can't remember the name of (see this is why I started taking notes) they are trapped in a cavern.  (the famous Orc guy is the guy that first explored the rift and also might know a way into the Irradiated Dunes where the Orcs (used to?) live)  After exploring the cavern and collecting treasure the generals make their way to a hut at the bottom of the Rift.  And meet the actual Famous Orc Guy!  After explanations and a tip to look up a guy named Isaak zombies attack (coming from Glorn).  Beating the zombies and making it to Glorn (again) Famous Orc Guy uses his pull to get the generals back to Glern and on the road from there.  They travel.
