Turn 21: The Thrappled Lemmings complete their maps (Five Leagues from the Borderlands)

 Waking in their beds in the local inn suited the Thrappled Lemmings very much. It had been a close thing after the fight last night, but Ketil son of Ketil had been in the hamlet and spoke up for them. He explained that the farmer the Lemmings had flattened had started the whole thing. As a result, he had got what he deserved.

Still, with the fight hanging over them, the Lemmings kept their heads down and expenses to a minimum, spending only 1 Gold Mark on food and not drinking as heavily as usual. Wido and Fulrad took the time to train while the group prepared for the return to Haitabu.

The Lemmings were able to sell the dog collars they had found and a few other things, and put 9 Gold Marks in their pouches. They then quickly hit the road to avoid confrontations with the farmer's extended family.

The mapping tour

Once more, their journey was utterly uneventful. It was as if the bad guys and trouble were avoiding the Lemmings for a change. Back at Haitabu, they delivered the maps to the town council and collected their reward. Then they headed to the Dagger and Dwarf for a pint or three of ale. There they learned that a mysterious stranger had been seen in Elsfjord Kloster. The local barflies speculated about who this person might be and what they wanted.

If the Lemmings go to Elsfjord Kloster on or before Turn 23, they get to roll a traveller encounter.
