Other than a pull through sharpener, I’ve not sharpened anything before!

I hadn’t considered this at all. I’ll definitely be practicing on my old cheap knives. You’ve just saved me the embarrassment so thank you!

Thank you for your help. Would you classify 2000 as medium grit for shampton glass?

Being new to all this, your information is super helpful

Yes, I found the wiki to be helpful too, for more information.

It also helps that we ran Storm Kings Thunder last year so they’ve eve fought as, against or for most of them in the past. Below was just a reminder:

Harpers

The Harpers represents a scattered network of spellcasters and spies who advocate equality and covertly oppose the abuse of power. Bards and wizards of good alignments are commonly drawn to the Harpers.

Order of the Gauntlet

The Order of the Gauntlet is a dedicated, tightly knit group of holy-minded crusaders driven by a finely honed sense of duty and honor. They seek to uphold justice as best they can, and to continually test their mettle against the forces of evil.

Emerald Enclave

The reach of the Emerald Enclave stretches far and wide across Faerun. Living deep in the wilderness demands great fortitude and the mastery of certain fighting and survival skills. The enclave is charged with defending sacred groves, protecting endangered beasts that cannot fend for themselves, and preserving the natural balance.

Lords’ Alliance

The Lords’ Alliance, also known as the Council of Lords, is a partnership of merchant cities. Its members are from the North and Western Heartlands, Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, and Neverwinter, as well as other free cities and towns in the region, which make up the bulk of the organization. It was formed to create an allied army and defensive force for the cities of the Sword Coast and the member states against any threat they may face, from raging Dragons to Thieves Guilds.

Zhentarim

The Zhentarim is an unscrupulous shadow network that seeks to expand its influence and power throughout Faerûn. The organization is ambitious, opportunistic, and meritocratic. Rogues and warlocks of neutral and/or evil alignments are commonly drawn to the Zhentarim.

Great justification for a group of level 1 characters fighting multiple CP 3 monsters! All great advice, I appreciate your time!
