DAY 10

The Swordsman expands his merry band of thugs and assassins by selling off his initial loots from the Campfire. Meanwhile the Elf continues despoiling the pile of goods left behind by the Dragon-Witch, who flies south in hopes of more abundant treasures. The Sorceror and Eduinae meet on the road and trade the finer points of magic. Wizard and Captain once again try the perilous crossing of the High Pass, only to be leapt upon by Dragons. The Magician and Witch-King rest and restore their magic, while the White Knight looks for a quiet place to do some pious reading and the Amazon heads toward greener pastures (or richer treasure sites).

The treacherous mountain paths prove too dangerous for the Wizard and Captain, as the Elder Dragon makes short work of the Captain's Guards and they are forced to flee back down the mountain's steep slopes. The Witch-King, showing greater wisdom if not courage, avoids his confrontation with a Dragon by melting into mist and slipping quietly away.

Sunset

Blazing Light expires once again at the Pool, but only a lone Rogue is there to see it and guard whatever is left of the Pool's riches.

The Magician and the Amazon enjoy a more comfortable camp in the Borderlands, while the White Knight camps out under the stars at the site of his first successful battle.

The Captain, Guards, and Wizard ready themselves for battle with the Dragons guarding the high mountain passes.

Eduinae plays with the Witch's kitty, Elven Scroll tucked at her side, while the Sorceror keeps a respectful distance.

Maleficent cackles as she sees the Dragon she called slither menacingly over to the Witch-King's clearing.

Swordsman and his recently enlarged army fill the Inn to capacity as they stay up late into the night mapping out strategies over endless mugs of ale.

Elf enjoys another quiet evening in the Great Forest, looking forward to rounding up more horses in the morning. He reminds Shrek to stay hidden, since he makes the horses nervous and hard to catch.
