Thanks for the two solo adventures over separate threads!

Is it worth noting some of the mechanics/key rolls at the end? Avoid breaking up the narrative, but can help show others how mechanics have influenced the story.

The plan was for 1e, to create starter set with the Misty Mountains as main area.
