[Disclaimer: Certain parts are cut out or dramatized to both better explain what is going on and to remove unneccesary parts that wouldn't make this much of a summary if it was posted in its entirety. Much of what is cut out is talking or passive RP that isn't needed in a summary but is both interesting and needed for the character development of those who are actually part of the DnD game. Some characters are also cut out of the summary as they have not been there for most of the journey hence they have not contributed enough to be a part of the party full time.]

Session One:

The adventure of our heroes begins in an average sized tavern filled to the brim with its usual clients. The rowdy clients yell at the top of their lungs while clinking full mugs with ale in them. Some of the more drunken men get up on their tables and sing songs of cheer. While a guitar plays in the background a talented observer could see a peculiar round table filled with a interesting assortment of people.

The first person that can be spotted seating at the table is a long, silver haired elf. She has smooth looking gray skin with greyish dark eyes. She wears a long flowing blue cloak over a hidden dark green dress. The dress has special symbols with a language unknown to most inscribed onto it. This woman's name is Alortha, the nature loving gray elf druid of the party.

The second person that can be seen around the table is a large, hulking monstrosity of a man with bulging muscles that are as thick as logs. He sports a shaved gray head with a permanently fierce look on his face. He has a large hammer placed around his back along with secondary weapons near his belt. He wears a long coat suited for winter. He is Ragnar, the bloodthirsty yet capable warrior Uruk Hai of the party.

The third person that can be seen around the table is a metro-sexual pixies that is wearing enough makeup that he would look good as a female. He is rather small for his species and looks like his clothes were brutalized by a brute as it barely covers any of his little body. He has a twinkle in his eyes and speaks in a vibrant tone. His name is Morkas, known throughout the lands as the "best musician".

This rather queer assembly of people sit around and chat as they wait for a waiter to come around. Once one does they begin to sip on some of the ale provided after they pay the orcish waiter that came along. As Ragnar is joking about his meal choices (including that of a certain pixie) that very pixie gets up and begins to brag about his musical skills.

Right into his speech, he is splattered by a large, masculine hand. That same hand lets go of the now destroyed pixie, blood still dripping down its hand as it returns to its original owner. The owner of the hand takes a seat onto a chair near the table, a cheeky grin on his face proclaiming his hate for pixies.

This new member of the party has slick back hair and fierce, instinctive eyes that show a inner depth unknown to others. He has slick back blond hair that is spiky enough that it could gouge out someone's eyeballs. He wears a black gi with several sword cuts on it and a red belt strapped around his pelvis area. He is John, the long time roaming pugilist of the party.

As the party settles into place, the waitress ignores the murder as if it is an everyday encounter and begins describing the current situation going on in the city the party finds them in. As the waitress explains the Horde and Alliance relationship, three Horde orc warriors coincidentally walk into the bar. John shows his brash and chaotic side as he begins joking about incest with Ragnar. As the tavern goes begin to cheer for the Horde warriors, John ramps up his destructive tendencies and throws an ale glass at the orc warriors after expressing a subtle dislike for the Horde.

As John begins trying to downplay his actions to the crowd that looks about to erupt and attack him, another party member enters the fray. From the entrance, a man in a flowing robe with a hooded crying woman with golden tears coming out of her eyes embedded into the robe walks in. His own eyes flare golden for just a moment before he silently joins the party, as if he was always there. A golden statue near his chest glows golden slightly before subsiding as he observes the "fight".

John begins to excuse himself out of the incident by claiming his lack of Alliance ties but is saved by both his own training and Ragnar. Right after Ragnar convinces the orcs he will "rough up" John for his indiscretions and goes to "capture" him, John dodges and jumps out a window. The entire party realizes they have overstayed their welcome and leave the tavern.

The party, now without a place to stay, decides to go to the forest for both shelter, food, and exploration. Arcane casts his divine energies outwards and begins detecting any magic in the nearby area, which turns out to be concentrated in the forest but more so in the tree's. Alortha goes out by herself and comes back to the party with a "tame" wolf beside her while the rest of the party begins setting up camp.

While Ragnar picked out branches on the floor for kindling, John gathered grass, and Alortha ripped out wood right out of a tree, Arcane's cautious nature pays off and he understands that the tree's are Linker tree's that are connected to the very nature of the forest itself. He speaks for the first time, rebuking the party for their harmful ways as the tree's respond to one of their very own dying by startling the winds, as if in disapproval. Arcane manages to heal the dying tree but is noticeably pale as he uses a high level domain spell and huge amounts of divine energy to keep the tree alive. The party quarrels with each other before they sit around a circle and start a campfire.

As the party settles down after the minor event, another startles the party. As they lament their lack of deserts such as fruits, a pineapple shaped fruit with a dark hue to it falls off the branch of one of the tree's above them right into the lap of Arcane, suggesting that the tree's understood their laments. Arcane, who is meditating at this time and ignoring the party due to his anger for their lack of awareness, simply provides half of the holy energies he is gaining from his meditation into the "pineapple" while the rest stays in his holy statue. He then continues to ignore the party which proves disasterous as this small event begins to spark a larger incident due to a certain gray elves misconceptions.

Alortha, seeing this spectacle, instantly grows suspicious and begins to approach the cleric with her wolf following behind her. While most of the party seems more amused in their activities and simply tell Alortha to get away from him, she seems to be determined to approach. After a while of attempting to interrogate Arcane and getting nothing out of it due to him ignoring her she begins talking to her fellow party members.

Finally, Arcane opens his eyes and observes his party members, which Alortha believes is time to interrogate him some more. He ignores her questions and begins to inspect the "pineapple" that fell onto his lap, further angering Alortha which incites her to begin attacking the ground near Arcane, which gets no response from him. This incites the party as they begin truly paying attention to what Alortha is doing.

While Alortha begins accusing him of being a murderous druid, Arcane simply ignores her and moves onto more important things such as keeping the "pineapple" in his hands safe in order to not incite the tree's around them once more or risk their full on wrath. Like most woman, she goes full on bonkers when she gets ignored and begins yelling at his face as if it would get a proper response from him. She is so pre-occupied with harassing him that she ignores the two new adventurers coming from afar with torches to join their party.

John comes over to try and calm Alortha down by getting Arcane to pay attention but it fails as she finally blows her fuse and commands her wolf to charge at Arcane which further involves John himself as he is grabbing onto Arcane's shoulder in a friendly manner. A fight of dominance begins between Arcane and Alortha's wolf which ends up in it winning due to the combined mind link between the wolf and Alortha, ending with Arcane being pushed to the floor as the wolf pounces.

The entire party gets involved at this point, with Ragnar pulling his hammer out and getting between Arcane and John, yelling at Alortha. The adventurers from afar add to the confusion as they try to settle everyone down while being combat ready at the same time. The entire conflict ends up a yelling match as everyone tries to calm down everyone else and the victim himself is simply laying on the floor in disappointment.

Finally, Ragnar tries to mediate the conflict by asking Arcane who he is, which Arcane declares as a cleric, which further infuriates Alortha. Alortha, assuming that he is simply lying begins to accuse him once more which finally angers Arcane, who begins to let out huge amounts of divine energy out of his holy statue which is mixed with a chaotic aura that finally convinces Alortha of his legitimacy as a cleric.
