Over G+ and twitter a few more folks said they wanted to play, so we started up a group. Collin Madden and Mark miller are also in it, but they weren’t here for the first session. I didn’t know what dungeon they were going to crawl when we first started up, so I just called the invite Torchbearer – TBD. Once we started however I wasn’t ready with anything else, so I started them on Under the House of the Three Squires. The name has stuck however, and they are now my TBD group, which may or may not stand for “To Be Determined.” This short session was just character creation and a brief introduction to the Three Squires.

Once known by another name, Aranim in his youth befriended a young human girl of unsurpased beauty and uncommon intellect. They soon fell in love and he would visit her often until one day she bore him a child and he stayed with her at the edge of the forest ot raise the boy. On his 13th year Aranim took his son Hrafnir boar hunting and he was mortally wounded. Unable to save him, Aranim rushed his son to the Elflands to beseech the aid of his kin. They were able to save the boy but for revealing their lands to a non-fey he was stripped of his name and banished forever.
Upon returning to human lands more years had passed they he and his son had realized for Elf lands have a strange effect on time; his wife had faded away her life being artificially extended by the Elf’s grace and his abscence and the grief she felt from his parting were too much to bare. Hrafnir was angry over this and developed a terrible grudge against his father, due partly from his mother’s death but equally from also knowing the beauty of the elf lands and knowing that he too, like his father, would never see them again.
Now Aranim wanders the land, longing for a life he cannot live and praying for death that he cannot bring upon himself.
