Only two of the three players, but we had the first tiny session tonight and we had a blast.
They got their mission (rescue farmers taken hostage by a tribe of warlike hillmen.. this is going to be the hook to draw them into something much larger along the way)
The woods are crawling with goblins (there's a war between hte goblins and the hillmen, but the nice, civilized folks dont know this yet) so they encountered a goblin ambush, which they defeated easily.
Second encounter was a hillman scouting party, which ended with the dwarf wounded but the characters victorious (high man paladin and dwarf fighter). They decided to fall back to the town, sell the gear they looted and get some healing before venturing out again, a little more cautiously this time.
Over all, we had an absolute blast with our first session, got to cast a few spells, use a few skills and fight a bit, and even used the book experience system, and it was allright, though it slowed us down a little.
Good times
