Turn 8: The Thrappled Lemmings in Search of the Unknown (Five Leagues from the Borderlands)

Halldor the Voluminous had seemed like a credible source, so Sir Thiebault decided to take this information back to Lysanthir and see what they could make of it.

Turn 8

Local Events

"Whaddya mean the market is out of weapons?" shrieked Sir Thiebault.

The trader responded sarcastically, "Whaddya think I mean? You cannot buy weapons here. The trade caravan got hit by Orcs and now there is a shortage.

Sir Thiebault stumped off despondently, his plans for some window shopping thwarted.

Hard Times

The party eats up 2 Marks' worth of food and beer.

Campaign Activities

Lysanthir visits the town healer and is very quickly healed. He and Drogo are now fit to to adventure again.

Despondent about the lack of weapons, Sir Thiebault heads to the nearest dive bar and enters a high stakes game of cards. He leaves the tavern later that night 3 Marks richer!

Trade

Having learnt from their recent experiences, Lysanthir heads to market and buys bandages for the party. He also buys torches and a bottle of tonic for himself, just in case he needs it again.

Research

Feeling much better, Lysanthir decides to spend some time researching the temple he came here to find. His research pays off, but only when the librarian shows him that he is looking at the map he is studying upside down (4 adventure points and 1 story point used to pass an adventure milestone). He locates a monster lair near Fikaby in this way. It is not the temple he was after, but it is definitely a chance for treasure.

Adventure

Sir Thiebault and the others return to Haitabu and impart the information they learned in Utstein Marknad to Lysanthir. On the way, they encounter a beggar called Sigrid, whom they feed and send on her way. She becomes their Friend.

News Travels

The local militia has been patrolling rigorously of late. Travel has temporarily become safer and there will be no need to roll for travel encounters next turn.
