I've put that campaign on HOLD.
And have started a new one with less players, and ones that I know for sure will show up and if they are unavailable they contact me.
So on to "Haven".
We start with two characters Zach (Austin) and Neko (Nicky), both have just recently moved with their families into a new town. It's a large, circular, town surrounded almost completely by dense forests and at the rear of which has a large lake. This town has three major buildings, a town hall, a church, and a tavern. The town hall is at the northern most part of the town is the town hall, whilst the church and tavern are at the western and eastern points (respectively). There is one road in said town, it leads from the southern "entrance gate" straight to a gigantic tree (think the deku tree from Zelda) which is circles. The town is having some sort of festival in the lower right area, complete with a jousting ring, pony rides, food stalls, and even a "dunk tank". Zach and Neko decide to look around the festival and see what there is to see. As they make their way in an announcement has been made that the jousting competition will comence, so the majority of the towns people make their way over avoiding a specific area of the fair. Zach and Neko take notice of this odd behavior and decide to investigate. Upon reaching that spot they see an old maroon tent with gold trim, one entrance and at that entrance sits an old worn sigh that at one time was legable. They both enter the tent which was much larger then the outside portrayed. Inside is a large hallway like chamber, dimly lit by a single candle at the farthest end on a table. At that table sits an old lady. Curious the two walk towards her, as they walk it seems like the hallway itself grows longer and as they progress further and further along the path something changes. The ground itself seems to lose is solidarity, time and space seem distorted.
At last they reach their destination. Zach mumbles a witty comment about how the sign outside was very helpful, only to awaken the woman. She jolts up revealing her tangled jumble of white hair and milky blind eyes to which there are no lids. "at last our heroes have arrived" she says and opens her left palm a thin wisp of silver (smoke-like) appears and shoots into Neko's chest, the silvery substance surrounds his body and lifts him off the ground. but as quickly as it came it vanishes. Afterwords she opens her right and the same happens to Zach. During which the two men see in their mind's eye the old woman telling them of a quest they must preform, they must retrieve the "blood pearl of the lake" and "the heart of the forest". after their encounter the two are whisked back to the entrance of the tent and they exit.
The two agree to gather their gear and meet by the woods, but that plan quickly unfolds because the town is surrounded by a forest and they didn't agree to what specific spot. Luckily they meet up at the lake behind the town hall.
