More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver’s Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when ores swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.
For centuries, rumors of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough-and-tumble frontier town. More important, the Rockseeker brothers-a trio of dwarves-have discovered the entrance to Wave Echo Cave, and they intend to reopen the mines.
Unfortunately for the Rockseekers, they are not the only ones interested in Wave Echo Cave. A mysterious villain known as the Black Spider controls a network of bandit gangs and goblin tribes in the area, and his agents have followed the Rockseekers to their prize. Now the Black Spider wants Wave Echo Cave for himself, and he is taking steps to make sure no one else knows where it is.

Dumb question: what does the SXG in the title mean?

I played an adventurers league game last weekend. Can I use my character in this session? I can build him in fg and send you the XML if it helps. I don’t know much about the 5e organised play rules yet.
We are all starting out at level 1 with fresh characters. You can use any of the pre-gen characters if you sign up (the only one taken is the archer themed fighter) or you can make one using the Basic Rules of the Players handbook, array stat buy, human variant allowed.

I am signed up as Dave Lear. I should really change my ID.
That’s fair enough. I am happy to play a pregen. Are you running this as an adventurers league game?
I was not planning in it. Not sure how to do it if I wanted to. I have played home games only up until now.
no worries, that’s cool – looking forward to the session tonight
