Chapter 1: Nightstone

"One time I cleaned an entire massive stable all by myself as payment for a debt to a king. Stank for weeks. But hopefully the lady of the manor has us do something fun, like slay a dire boar or hunt down harpies." Maru seems encouraged at the sound of more battle. "We should maybe get some shut eye first yes?"

As each of you drift off to sleep you rest peacefully for a time, until you begin dreaming of distant thunder. The thunder grows louder and accompanied by...screams? Suddenly you awake to find that it was not a dream. Huge booms rock the inn and you can hear distant screaming. You leap out of bed and fling open your doors, only to be thrown backward as a section of the roof of the inn collapses with a roar of shattered wood.

Qavez peers back out his door and sees that the damage has thankfully avoided the balcony and stairs, but there is a large boulder in the middle of the dining room of the inn below.

Xalvador looks out the window and sees three people pushing at a small stone obelisk in the middle of the town, while tiny figures run around in terror. He blinks and rubs the sleep from his eyes and his perspective returns...those three are not townsfolk, but giants! The tiny figures are the humans, halflings, and dwarves that inhabit the town, made small only in comparison.
