Day
21
Purple magic suffuses every clearing in the board, and the Dragons
regenerat to prowl all day long. The Pilgrim seems to have misplaced
his bifocals and can't make out the runes on the Good Book. Compounding
his frustration, he fails to hide and is blocked by a Heavy Dragon
and a Tremendous Dragon that he has no trouble seeing. The Wizard
attempts to trade with the Soldiers and turns up the Flowers of
Rest that put his companions, the Dwarf and Captain, to sleep. With
his friends snoozing away in the corner, the Wizard plies the Soldiers
with liquor, but is unable to persuade them to part with any of
their treasures at an agreeable price. The Sorceror uses the free
Purple magic to apply a little redecorating to the center of the
board by enchanting two woods tiles to their gold side (in honor
of the approaching autumn?). In the High Pass caves the Berserker
is able to discover the Pool and show the location to the Swordsman.
The Swordsman finds the Remains of the Thief with the Living Sword
and the Sacred Grail (which activates and begins to radiate White
magic) but curses Tiago Espadafiada with an Ashes curse. In his
second attempt, the Swordsman discovers the Enchanted Meadow. The
Witch King, in the meantime, returns to where he dropped the Blasted
Jewel but fails to locate it with his magic sight, and is blocked
by two Flying Dragons.
In combat the characters seem to have mastered the monster problem.
The White Knight's Morning Star takes out the Tremendous Dragon,
the Pilgrim's hired hand handles the Heavy Dragon, and the Witch
King activates "Absorb Essence" and surprises the daylights
out of the two Flying Dragons by transmorphizing into a Tremendous
Demon and ripping them to pieces.
