Episode notes
Under an ancient tree at the edge of Naath, four strangers agree to a job that should be simple: a gnome's stolen shipment, a bandit camp up the north road, a shipment to bring home. What could go wrong? Everything, obviously.
A naive bard tries diplomacy. A dwarf answers with a warhammer. A half-orc who plays cleric while picking pockets slips into the fog with his daggers. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a very reasonable negotiation turns into a very unreasonable amount of bloodshed — before an unexpected offer of a second chance changes the shape of the whole affair.
Told fireside, to two children who will not stop interrupting, this is the first disaster of Nex Nexus.
