D&D character log - the adventures of Anders Awlwisehigh the Halfling Monk part 1

I haven't written anything in a long time. That's somewhat because my Eclipse Phase group stopped meeting and has been overtaken by a game of D&D 5E.

I've decided to update a log of events to help me keep track of happenings, and if others find this interesting then awesomeness. As always, the story I write is from my character's unreliable perspective.

I should also say that session zero was more than a year ago, so my memory is a little hazy on events. Where I am unsure of events, I have just made it up in the full confidence that it's just a game and doesn't matter anyway.

The story is set in Faerun and starts in the sleepy village of Winterhaven. A bounty by the local mayor has attracted the attention of our group of travelers.

The group is led by the intelligent, dashing and deeply religious halfling monk Anders. His companions include Saul, a sucker punching ranged rogue,  Tasmin the mysterious warlock Tiefling, Tannis the foul mouthed and gaseous ranger, and Darge the big talking bard.

The story so far...

The group take on the bounty from the Winterhaven mayor to retrieve a sacred relic whose presence prevented the now impending wave of undead inundating the land.

Anders immediately suspects a newcomer to the village, and worshiper of Shar, and confronts her in the local inn. Anders then leaves the inn and nothing bad happened to him and anyone who says otherwise is a liar (sub note: he actually fell over when trying to headbutt the cultists and was laughed out of the inn).

After wisely listening to his colleagues, Anders agrees that the group should make their way to the epicenter of the undead, which happens to be a cave system a few days from the village.

The group fight their way through a series of dungeons, until they come across a dark rift into a another plane of existence, spewing out undead. They then solve a strangely elaborate puzzle involving mirrors which casts light upon the rift, thereby destroying it.

Despite all that they find no relic...

For some reason, probably due to Ilmaters direct intervention, Anders then knows that the relic is in a city further south. We let the mayor know that we have killed a bunch of undead and closed a portal, then head on our merry way south.
