Session 1 starts with players meeting eachother at the Overio Guild in Tia, Florana. They exchange awkard encounters before meeting Daisy, the head of the guild. She anxiously asks the characters for their assitence in exchange for silver and rocks(?). The players all agree and embark on their journey. They pick up some healer kits from Goldies General store and Berek and Claire purchase some Armor from Beleafia's Blacksmith. They leave the town by horse and carriage. They travel several hours and continue throughout the night not taking a break. Suddenly their horse stops dead in its tracks showing signs of fear as it stares into the dark forest ahead. Claire communicates with the animal asking what is going on and its only response is.. "trees". Shortly after their traveling companion/adventurer Dave- a 89 year old human who wished to go on one last adventure before he dies - gets snatched up by an Awakened tree. The group immediately attempts to rescue Dave and fight off this enemy. They succeed in killing the Tree; but not before Valieah knocks on deaths door. Luckily she passes her death saving throws and rejoins the living. However, Dave, passed on to the next life, passing away from his brutally cruel injuries. The group, sadded by the loss of their old friend bury him just off the path in a shallow grave. Marking it with carved sticks, 3 rocks and some flowers. Berek, reads out loud a poem he wrote in Daves memory and the session ends there. 

The players level up to Level 2.
