0. A new group

Mine travelling through and if it is better for story I can make my PC to wish stay in the Newville either for the festival or for the whole winder season - until mountain pass be passable. What he do? He just return home, but in case he is to stay for winter season he would be looking for a job or adventuring quest to be able to cover living costs

By the way, @YullyBear do you refer to a particular hazard ? Can't recall one mentioned before

Would love for this to be a campaign. This is going to be a lot of fun.

I think Raggedy Anne a.k a. "Anne" would be travelling through with her new companions Gimdrus , Wyce, and the others (who she had met on a Previous adventure where they were tasked with saving a group of children who were captured by Gnolls who were going to eat them and returned the children back to safely after taking the foul creatures out) through the region and because of the snowstorms and other hazardous winter weather would probably stay in Newville for the Winter festival and until the mountains are passable to continue travelling unless there is another route they are able to take since mountains can get icy and slick during winter weather. She's new to the area and she'll be there with her group to help the denizens of Newville out and to enjoy herself as this is the first ever festival she has ever been to. If she stayed, she would do whatever she could to help out. Even ask to help work at the local inn and Tavern for room and board too after helping the News out in their quest.

Raggedy Anne is actually not from Newville. she having lived in a druid Circle called the Circle of the Holly with her mentor Ivy and a small group of druids for a few years after being found by her mentor Ivy when she was only 13 when she found her outside of a destroyed and ruined Barbarian Village that Ivy adopted her and taught her how to be a druid. Anne is now 20 and is now old enough to travel and explore the world on her own so she wants to explore the world and make new friends and help out wherever she can.

So, is the main story that we're traveling to Newville together?

This could work well even gor those who wish to be residents of Newville as they could be traveling back to Newville, as Elias is a ranger I think it makes sense for him to have been wandering in the area when he was.hurt in some way making him indebted to the others which he accompanies to Newville.

Maybe some of have worked together previously and Bosko invited us for a reunion at the festival possibly to divy up a late payment/reward. Sounds like Anne would be new so maybe we worked with her mentor -- he can't make it to the festival so he sent Anne.

Ivy is a Druid Priestess. So she definitely had Anne represent them at the festival. And that sounds good.

Nog is a Half-Orc Cleric of the Life Domain and is a follower of Bahamut. Despite being a half-orc he is good natured and helps others when he can. Not the brightest cookie, but he knows his stuff when it comes to healing lol.

Seeing as it's a festival he could be going, due to the fact people tend to get hurt when drinking is involved.

He has no qualms about the reason he's going to Newville, so what the party decides is fine too.

I’m happy to invite everyone. Come join the party! As for the reason for the invitation, I’ll let the GM decide what is best suited for the sake of this scenario.

Awesome Albo Bosko!

I'm looking forward to eating, drinking and being merry. This is going to be a wonderful Newville Winter Festival once we officially start! 😁❄☃️🐧🎄🎁

"Dear Albo, I am delighted to receive an Invitation to this Festival to be perfectly honest im fact I had assumed that this Festival was for locals only and so had not bothered to visit during the time of the festival but the food in Newville is so good how could I refuse an Invitation to visit during the festival
