Day
25
Bats are prowling, but none come to the board. The Witch King lands
next to the Crone and creates some color magic. But he has a little
problem with the Crone's Cloven Hoof which will convert him into
the Flying Demon if he enters the clearing. The Sorceror reenchants
Linden Woods and moves to Linden Woods 5. The Captain leads his
friends to the Chapel where he is unable to strike a bargain on
an item he fancies, but sells 93 gold worth of items to OHQ. The
Pilgrim and White Knight fail to find anything else at the Altar,
and the Berserker moves into Borderland.
In combat, the band of characters at the Chapel set upon the OHQ
as soon as the sun sets. In the melee that follows, OHQ kills one
of the Captain's hired Guardsman before he loses his mount and succumbs
to the flurry of assaults. The coup de grace is administered by
the Swordsman as his preternaturally speedy Living Sword finds a
vital chink in the OHQ's armor.
