>>8568182The party left on their first mission to infiltrate the Malk ball
They stopped at a skeezy motel for the night and their van got stolen
They followed it into a junkyard that turned out to be a darkling's hunting grounds
They were pulled into the Hedge and were attacked by the darkling and some wargs
They manage to subdue their enemies and escape the Hedge by striking a deal with the darkling - in exchange for sparing his life, he leads them to the exit, promises not to harm them, and gives them a magical token that grants them passage back here
They also steal some of his equipment, including a sniper rifle and some magical bullets
They stay the night in the motel, and hitch a ride to town with a tow truck
