Don't panic, the game was already running anyways 
Our story begins:
No need to rush things.
Let's ask for rumors.
Even Bee's streetwise skills can't change the fact that there is really nothing going on at the moment.
We go straight to the Rathaus to see the important people and ask them for a job. It doesn't end well.
Let's try the marketplace as it was suggested at the start.
Is no one going to take us serious around here?
This does sound out of our league right now, so we do what every other band of adventurers would do, grind street thugs for ++levels! We'll have to wait for nightfall first.
Going to the docks, looking for trouble and soon finding it.
Battle is RtwP and quiet messy since the PC ai tends to block each other and the whole thing is rather hard to organize mid-fight. I'll elaborate when I find the time. For now: blue is stamina, green is strength, yellow divine favour. You get ko when stamina hits 0, dead when strength reaches 0. The thinner bars are the ones of the opponent a character is fighting at the moment.
A clear sweep.
We are rewarded with our very first fame point and some subpar gear. Ashe got a little beaten up but at least he and Theocrat receive their first amour set so they should take less damage from now on.
Thankfully, there’s no need to swim. After a rest at the inn, we sell the gathered loot and buy the ox a nice new shield, a torch and a rope (you always need those) which depletes all of our funds. A move I will soon regret. With that business done, we are ready to venture into the Darklands.
Travelling is not as involving like RoA since you don't need food or anything but different terrains equal different walking speed, so there is a little depth to it. It also has more random encounters.
What a waste of time but at least another fame point well earned.
Damn!
Shit!
Fuck!
We continue our journey anyways and soon arrive at the evil lord's castle.
Show me what you got, Bee.
There is sadly no point in venturing forth since all options except escape end in combat and the party is just too weak to face a Raubritter right now. We bravely retreat back to Frankfurt but I had forgotten that you have to pay a fee to get through the front gate and since I burned up all our cash, we have to find a more creative route.
I think the only thing that can help us right now is some serious divine intervention. Thus we examine our list of available saints.
Good thing we’ve got Bee around.
She does give Ashe streetwise alright but no Strength
Maybe we should look for a little less divine support.
Twats... Now, with no money and no shelter, there is only one place left we can go.
Oh c'mon! We survive this fight, mostly by throwing Holger right into the fray. Thanks to the little gold we get for looted equipment, we can now settle back in the inn for a hopefully quieter stay.
With our health back in the green, we are finally able to provide the Raubritter's goons with a good fight and they drop way better stuff than the street thugs.
Trying to sneak into the castle like last time doesn't go too well.
Second try is also a failure. Third time is the charm though.
His cohort is surprisingly clumsy except one dude with a club who gives the ox a hard time. The Raubritter uses that distraction to go after Theocrat and Ashe who start to run for their dear lives.
It all ends well, thankfully. Maybe not so much for Theocrat though.
This time we sneak back into Frankfurt just out of spite.
It’s time to collect our just reward.
Now I just need to sell all the loot and we're probably already filthy rich by our initial standards. And our reputation still continues to grow.
Just guessing here but I think we're off to a good start.
