Game 68

Episode List

Damian sends a message to Trelor asking for guidance in finding a trusted magic user within the city. Trelor, enigmatic as always, tells Damian to open up to the weave and let his resolve guide him. As the exchange concludes, Damian is pulled out of it by a tabby cat brushing up against him.

Away from prying eyes, Ereb instructs the group on the best method for concealing coins from pickpockets.

As we continue making our way through the city, a town cryer yells for the street to be cleared. A contingent of haggard soldiers dressed in red colors slowly winds its way through the crowd. Whatever conflict they have seen, they look spent. At the forefront of the group is a man riding a black horse. On his left breast is a golden crown with dragons encircling the crest itself.

Ereb nudges someone in the crowd and asks where they came from. He says they’re part of the Lord’s Alliance. The man also says that there have been rumours of towns and villages disappearing across the frontier.

Otto recognizes him to be Ruskar Eldwind. He is the person who gave him the mission to guard the caravan on the way to Greenest

Otto asks the man Ereb was talking to about the storms. Apparently, one has been occurring every 7 days, each one more violent than the last.

Once inside the map house we overhear a gentleman describing that there are ruins found under the castle. But that he has been unable to get to them because they are currently being guarded by a tribe of beastmen.

When Damian inquires about a mage, Talia of the map house says that the aurora group moved in after the red wizards left and took over a lot of their shops.

After settling on a place to stay, we start to make our way in that direction. We hear a woman scream and hear the drawing of a blade, and we see a man with a red moustache.

“I demand the right of duel! By the great house of Thassian, I demand a duel. You can not take me in.” The other man says nothing.

“Do you know who I am?”

“You have no right to take me in. I have declared the right of duel!”

The other man looks up. “As you wish.”

The crowd begins to whisper. It’s magister Oten? With that, the duel begins. The man with the red moustache moves sloppily and with anger, while Oten wastes no movement waiting for the other man to wear himself out. “Why won’t you attack!?” Red moustache declares. “Because I have already won.” Replies Oten, and in one fluid motion he draws his sword and disembowels red moustache. Then, he calls out to two women in the crowd. “You and you. You will be my witness to this duel, yes?” And they begrudgingly agree.

''“A man in a golden mask killed many of my men. We weren't prepared. There were more. We barely stood a chance.”''
