Prologue - Session 1 - The Torchbearer and the Temple

In this episode, we meet our four adventurers from the quiet farming town of Pathostone. There's Theo Rosefield, a farmer and fist-fighter with two younger siblings who carries the title of "Toughest Guy In Pathostone"; Finn Cromwell a woodcutter from a broken home whose father is the town constable, drunk, and bully all wrapped into one and whose mother is the town witch; Fayne Bowen, a shepherd of strange barksheep and huntress who lives with her father; and Warren Hendrickson, the boy genius, amateur chemist, and keeper of the ledger of his parents' inn.
A riderless cart arrives from the town south of Pathostone belonging to a Torchbearer, a mysterious order of masons who keep the road repaired and safe from monsters. The party heads south to Brambleweed to investigate. Along the way they stop at an ancient temple to the god of love and community, Lencellier. After passing the temple tests they meet an agent of Lencellier, a Cassian who gives them a gift.
