At some point you will have to think about earning your living, but where? How? Work is in short supply on the Sword Coast these days.
Then in rolls an old friend of yours, Elendora. You have known her for as long as you can remember, played together as children in the grimy streets, grew up together, loved her like a sister. She is now a fully fledged druid of the lower circle, and as she's been gone for a couple of years, this calls for a celebration.
Things get said when people are a little innebriated, things which made perfect sense at the time, but later no-one can remember who said it. It was following this revelry, at a time when most people had gone home and the tavern belonged to you, Elendora and the innkeeper, that the idea to head out to Jaroc cropped up. Jaroc, a relatively new und unexplored pioneering colony. There must be work out there, surely! Taming wild lands, protecting simple folk from marauding beasts, it was ideal.
Elendora, ever the optimist, was convinced that this was the way forward. So, the two of you packed up your belongings, took that which you would need and booked passage to Pydor, the Gateway to Jaroc.
The sea journey is not particularly short, and for someone who had spent all thier life on land quite arduous, but you arrived without event at the docks of Pydor.
And this is where the module start finds you, standing on the deck of a weather beaten ship, surveying the depressing sight of the drizzle stained harbour walls. Curling your nose at the stench of rotting garbage and trying desperately to see through the fog, whether it gets any better than this. All the while, Elendora and her eternal good mood are calling to you to stop being such a stick in the mud and go ashore.
So you step onto the gang plank and head onto dry land. Welcome to Jaroc ......welcome, indeed!

Title
This screen shows the hard to find sewer door
Early morning sunshine in Ak Zarat.
What the..? Wierd stuff going down.
Come on you Reds!
Yeah, shake it baby!
Work you lazy varmints, or you'll feel the flat of my blade.
Probably not a good friend!
Every now and then, you have to give your henchman a hug, to let him know that you care.
Maybe I'm soft, but that injury would have stopped me.
Great, just in time for the barby.
It's all down hill from here, well, mostly!
Phew, that one came close!
Hey there, mister, your dog's bein' real friendly!
