Day
2
Goblins arrive in abundance today, and the characters deal with
the natives to try to equip themselves to venture out into the dangerous
Realm. The Witch King's phantasm explores the Cliff while the Witch
King himself flies into Cavern, lands, and hears three troups of
Goblins arrives in different clearings. At the Chapel, the Order
seem about to let the Morning Star go, but finally refuse the White
Knight and Pilgrim's price. At the Guardhouse the Guard turn down
the Wizard and Dwarf, but agree to serve with the Captain for two
weeks. At the Inn, the Swordsman gets an investment from the Berserker
and hires one Great Axman, but the other turns down both the Swordsman
and the Berserker. The Sorceror hides and reveals nothing, while
the Black Knight arrives at the end of the day with his Mace at
the ready. In the evening, the Patrol ride up and steer clear of
the Black Knight, but they cause trouble with the Sorceror before
patching things up, insult the Berserker, and challenge the Swordsman.
It looks like an interesting evening is in store at the Inn!
In combat the four characters at the Inn, along with their six
hired Rogues, make quick work of the Patrol. Despite the odds in
their favor, they decline to challenge the watchful Rogue HQ and
Great Axman and fall to scrambling for the Patrol's abandoned goodies
instead. At the Chapel, the weaponless White Knight casts "Small
Blessing" and gains a "Wish for Strength" on his
dagger.
