Summary of Event #1 - Introduction to Town of Sarim
On the evening of 19 Novtumber, the goblin menace struck and overran the Rusty Anchor before sacking parts of the northern end of the town, a raid which lasted long into the night, before receding to the pub building after fighting with the town guard for hours. The attack left many, travelers and citizens alike, dead, maimed, or missing. With orders from the captain, the guard enforced a curfew and declared martial law, ordering all surviving citizens to stay inside and seek shelter, and for those capable to report to the guardhouse to enlist with the militia.

By noon the next day, the guard was able to restore some semblance of order in the south of the town, leaving what's left between the south and north abandoned for now. Sarim's guardhouse fills to the brim with survivors of the attack, and citizens and travelers of all walks of life, seeking shelter inside.

Now, two days since the attack, Sarim's government calls for a town meeting in the common hall of the guardhouse. Hi, I'm Dan.

Summary of Event #2 - The Meeting
The grim news of how the Lord Mayor, and many of Sarim's aldermen, were killed, or captured, meeting with the goblin chieftain to try to persuade the goblin occupiers to withdraw. With the government crippled, the remaining aldermen elected to abandon the city, and take refuge somewhere else, bringing much of the Guard with them, in a desperate measure to conserve what resources they had left. Despite the vacuum of power, in which one might expect the goblin menace to come all at once and seize the rest of the town, the evening was rather surprisingly, perhaps unsettlingly, quiet.

With what little time they believe they have before the siege of the guardhouse, a small group of people holed up with the rest of the survivors, townsfolk and travelers alike, decided to begin searching the abandoned parts of town for food to store away, and runes their mages could use in the coming battle.

The haul for the first supply run would be meager, but it was a start. Hi, I'm Dan.

Summary of Event #3 - Supplying the Resistance
An ambitious plan improvised by leading members of the resistance falls apart when, in an attempt to bring in supplies necessary for the defense of the guardhouse from a warehouse on the northern side of Sarim, the ship was confronted by a small band of goblins that had taken notice of the vessel approaching the docks. After a devastating attack from the goblin battlemage, the ship was rendered useless by rocks raised from under the water, which raised it far above the waves and unable to escape.

The ship's captain, Edward Teague, is now presumed trapped in the ship held above the water, while the others returned to the guardhouse empty-handed. Hi, I'm Dan.

Summary of Event #4 - Besieged!
As the goblin horde begins to settle in around the guardhouse, intending to put what remains of the resistance under siege, the goblins began firing on the western side of the building with a cannon from somewhere in the goblins' numerous camps. Fed up with the cannonfire, Red Wizard Madeleine Lavelle, a recent arrival as part of the aid sent from the Tower to aid the resistance, the pirate Edward Teague, Windborn and Elena decided to seek out the cannon's nest and destroy it. After having Windborn scout the area that the cannonfire seemed to come from, they discovered that the goblins had taken over the old chapel on a hilltop west of town. Deciding on a daring frontal assault, relying on the element of surprise, the four managed to catch the five goblins inside the chapel during a meal. Several moments ensued in which the four of them seemed to simply take the whole goblin cannon crew captive without a fight.

They discovered that the goblins had desecrated the temple with symbols of Zamorak, the banner of the Huzamogaarb tribe as well as the presence of demonic influence in glyphs written on the walls. The parish priest, Father Hinckley, had been murdered, and left there on display like a trophy.

Edward suddenly decided to kill two of the goblins in rapid succession and a brief fight would leave all five goblins killed, but Elena was gravely injured. With the its nest captured, Madeleine sabotaged the cannon so that it blew apart. The old chapel burns down in the ensuing blaze. Hi, I'm Dan.

Port Sarim must be a good place to catch a breath of fresh Aeir.
We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.
