The Magnifique Escape

A story by the fire

Two elven brothers were exiled due to the kidnapping of the son of their elven King. Their father failed at protecting with the sins of the fathers heaped upon their children. Such was the response in the face of the unthinkable and unpredicted. Evisar would find his end on the road, saving his brother's life Mestel, who would go on to become a Chosen for Mestaraine and join the Companions in the cataclysmic Elven Wars culminating in the heroic defense of Waterdeep. But ah...that, dear friends, is a story for another time.

This story begins in 1210 Realms, very nearly the same day that Evisar and Mestel left their home in disgrace.... In the town of Arabel, two drifters arrived together in the slums. The oft silent goblin Kraag and his loquacious changeling partner Martello were in search of...employment. They soon heard word of a merchant leaving town and somehow found themselves in his residence shortly after. They incapacitated the head of the guards and slipped into their familiar roles - Kraag overcame multiple traps and cleaned out the valuables while Martello misdirected the guards with panche by assuming the very identity of the captain of the guards. The duo slipped away in the ensuing chaos, undetected.
