Session 002: Warcrimes and Wit
🎙️ Session Recording
Recording will be added after session
📜 Session Overview
The Farm, The Goblins, and The Poison Chickens. Fresh from their training at Camp Sethreal, the party receives their first real mission: help the Duckbee family deal with goblin raiders threatening their farm. What begins as a straightforward escort mission quickly evolves into something... morally questionable.
⚠️ The Infamous Incident
Agelaius concocted a "creative solution" to the goblin problem: poison stew placed inside chickens to be fed to the goblins. The poisoned goblins would then be fed to their worgs, sending the beasts into a frenzy. While tactically effective, this strategy would earn the party a... complicated reputation in the region.
⚔️ Key Events
- Farm Arrival: Meeting the Duckbee family and assessing the goblin threat
- The Poison Plot: Agelaius proposes his unconventional solution
- Bait Preparation: The party prepares poisoned chickens as goblin bait
- Goblin Encounter: Raiders arrive and take the bait (literally)
- Worg Frenzy: The plan works... perhaps too well
- Aftermath: Dealing with the consequences and the Duckbees' reaction

✨ Character Moments
Agelaius the Tactician
This session established Agelaius as the party's "creative problem solver" - for better or worse. His poison chicken strategy would become legendary, though not necessarily in a way that's good for the party's reputation.

📝 DM Notes
Moral Ambiguity: This session introduces the theme that not all "solutions" are heroic. The party's willingness to use questionable tactics will have long-term consequences on their reputation.
Combat Creativity: Players are encouraged to think outside the box, but actions have consequences.
🎭 Looking Ahead
With the goblin threat neutralized (if messily), the party prepares to continue their journey. But word of their "methods" begins to spread...
