DAY 12

Witch-King, like the Ghosts, cannot be truly killed. His spirit reforms at the Inn, rested and even more powerful than before... he starts with 4 spells, all four Type IV chits enchanted to purple, and both Magic V3*s and Magic V4* enchanted to black. He makes his way to the S. Campfire, there to share an uneasy truce with the Elf, who spent most of the day rounding up most of the rest of the horses. The Swordsman sends his army further south, while sprinting through the woods, barely making it to the Lair in time to spring a surprise ambush on the Witch. The Sorceror continues to rest and recuperate, also ending the day uneasily in the same clearing with the Swordsman's army.

Eduinae starts her travels over the High Pass, hoping to meet the Wizard and Captain, who for once have managed to avoid being waylaid by anything nasty (so far). The Amazon smiles as she passes them both up easily, traversing the mountain pass as if it were nothing more than a stroll on the plains. The Magician also succeeds in traveling stealthily past the goblins on his way to the Crag. The White Knight begins his travels back to the Cliff, waving around his new Bane Sword as if daring the Giants to come out and fight him now!

The Swordsman succeeds in catching the Witch and ending her notorious life with a Dagger, but not before she left him a little present... a winged Dragon to guard the clearing and its treasures. Hoping to keep his life a little longer, the Witch-King quietly casts spells on himself in as non-threatening a manner as possible, while the Elf watches warily.

Sunset

Elf and Witch-King watch each other over the flickering flames, each hoping that the other plans to stick to his end of the truce.

The Swordsman circles the Witch, making fancy moves with his dagger, leaving her in no doubt that no truce is planned for this evening.

Eduinae, the Amazon, Captain, and Wizard watch the sunset from their lofty perch, the Captain and Wizard trying to be very, very quiet so as not to attract the attention of the Dragon.

The Magician wipes sweat off his brow and congratulates himself on sneaking past the Goblins, having kept his Beast Pipes handy just in case.

White Knight looks around in disappointment at the quiet cliffs, wondering where all the giants are when you want them.

Sorceror pets the kitty to try to calm his nerves, wondering if he is going to be the other target of the Swordsman's nefarious plans.
