May 5,  12:00

As your caravan rounds the top of a hill you see the main tower of Hyrule Castle that marks the end of your journey. The road winds lazily thru the plains passing small farms. The city’s walls slowly come into view and you can begin to make out the Hylian Guard patrolling its length. You approach the drawbridge that crosses the moat, and you’re met by a group of porters wearing the insignia of the Trader’s Guild. The caravan master passes your pay and visas over to your party, and he points you off toward the Sleepy Tavern where Jeff’s arranged accommodations for the week you’ll be in town.

  • The party gets to know each other over a few beers, and Sam Axe the Bartender, eventually clues them in on the missing Kokuri workers in the cellar. A tight hole is found, and the party worms in.
    • Armor and shields were left at the entrance (recovered After), and the party expended themselves fighting 4 Stalfos (CR ¼ 200 xp)
      • Paladin Victodome loses sword.
    • Knot informs Sam about the situation, and negotiates a 50 GP reward for the return of his Kokuri workers. And Sam will expand the hole so the party can enter unrestricted.
    • Victodome bought a short sword from Barracks Quartermaster, Sihnion Balmenor 15:30
