The party moves out of the tavern and is about to go to the battlements when they see how an officer opens the door to the tavern and shouts inside: "Rest is over, we will leave soon so get ready. Hurry up!" The heroes look at Sir Leo to see what he has to say about this. "Oh right, I forgot to mention that Lord Kapriel and most of the knights will go and hunt down the mercenaries. We will be left behind and make sure the town is safe in case any of the enemies comes back. That was what I meant by saying that we should defend the town, sorry if I was unclear." The party continues up to the battlements where they find a ballista in the north tower and a catapult in the south tower. There are also some archers guarding the walls.

If you're lying on the ground having seizures I find it hard to get on with the quest. And now you are telling the rest that there is one cure to your problem that they have to come up with. I will proceed with the quest shortly but I want to make clear that character developments that requires other players isn't the best idea since they take lot of time and focus from the real quest.

No, not really. It's fine that you want to develop your character but that should be a personal objective, not something that blocks action in progress in the real quest. Don't force your quest mates to assist you in your character development. If you necessarily need other people interact with your role playing, make sure they agree to that before you set plans in action. And yes, the shield is yours to keep.

Not a set I will buy but I'm happy that we get Dark brown wedge plates.

Yeah, because fist fighting isn't fighting?

It's not easy being on the good side.

Results of Round Three of Bar Fight Tomas heals himself - Heal less Champion Knight - Free hit on Tomas Tomas heals himself with 14 health, but it's not enough to withstand the attack from the champion that knocks the cleric out. The champion goes victorious from the battle. "Ha, that was even easier then I thought! What cheap kind of reinforcement you turned out to be, good thing we got real knights in the Order." The champion knight finishes his drink and then leaves the tavern. Tomas is lying spread out on the floor and slowly comes back to his senses.

Tomas is unfortunately missing skills in diplomacy and the champion is already quite angry. "Don't try to talk your way out of this, I'm gonna teach you a lesson you will not soon forget!"

Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. "I think there are some relics of Miekahl Lightbringer in some of the villages, but I don't really know. But when I was on duty in Duplovia I visited their Hall of Curios which was fantastic. You should really go there if you are interested in those things."

"I don't hate all of them like our Lord Commander or the champion that your friend is fighting. I've met both kind and cruel orcs, your one doesn't seem very hostile so I'm fine with him."

"Yes, he is indeed the swordsman champion in the battalion. He got great strength in his hits, your friend better watch out. He's not always like this, but he really hates orcs, just like our Lord Commander." Please specify which knight, there are 3 of them available to talk to.

"I'll make you regret those words, cleric! I'm the champion swordsman in the battalion, and I don't take easy on insults!" The knight get up and grabs a huge scimitar, much nicked from long time use. Tomas, PREPARE FOR BATLLE! NOTE: This is a one vs. one fight between Tomas and the knight, the party can talk to the other people in the bar during the fight, or just cheer for their comrade, but they are not allowed to join the battle or pass items or similar that could help Tomas in the battle.

"I will fight, in the name of the Righteous Light, for justice and honesty, for Ennoc! With his help I will destroy this heretic mage!" Maurice attacks Pirate Seamage from the front row.

I was planning to let you back in after the party is done with the tavern, but since we had a break I might let you in earlier. I need to write that up first though so have patience.

"Well met, Sir Glorfindel! I am Sir Damiel, knight in the 1st Battalion of Light and Justice. I've been here with the battalion for about two months now, I wish we could leave soon. But that won't happen until we have killed all of our enemies, cursed be them! The mercenaries have good discipline, I got to admit. They always follows the orders given to them by their captain's horns. We in the Order use flags instead to give orders on the battle field. For example, a white flag means "attack", a black one "retreat" and a red flag means "need of assistance"." "Hey, Lord Kapriel might have spared you for now, but I swear I will punch out those stupid teeth of yours if you come near me again! Filthy greenskin!" "Lost it in a bar fight many years ago. Now, do you want a drink or just waste my time? 5 gold for a nice strong ale, then we can chat some more."

"Lets give the Peglegged Pirate a bottle of rum and fight the rest, I say." Maurice is prepared to give the Peglegged Pirate one of his bottles of rum if the party leader agrees with this. Otherwise he wishes to attack the Filthy Chimp from the front row.

Maurice felt proud to have landed the killing blow on that evil chef. The Light was with him and he felt its presence very clearly now. He saw how their Norseman leader cut of the head of the victim and tried not to show his disgust over the barbaric custom. "Yes, lets move to the next room. We might want to stay close to the fireplace and then take the left door, to avoid the enemies in the lower right part of the room. I think it's best to have a sneaky approach here inside the enemy's lair."

I love how you did the wall! Must be eating plates like crazy but it makes a really nice texture and pattern. Interesting houses as well, and the landscaping outside the wall is very good. Looks just so natural with that rocky hill and trees on it.

The heroes go to the house to the left. Its ground floor is built out of stone, with some good masonry showing, and on top of that a nice wooden second floor, painted light green. The heroes walk in and find it to be a tavern where some of the Paladin Order's knights and soldiers are taking a rest and a drink while waiting for orders. The men at the bar look up as the heroes walk in but then goes back to their drinks and conversations. Do the party wish to speak to any of the men?

It seems like we are quite a few who are going away this weekend, myself included. Lets prepare for some slow action the next two days and resume on Sunday evening/Monday morning (CET).

The heroes bend knees at the tomb and pray to Miekahl Lightbringer. Cronk - Blessed Sir Glorfindel - Blessed Elgar - Blessed Tomas - Blessed A light is seen inside the tomb and suddenly the heroes feel a warm and strengthening feeling inside, and when they look at each other they can see how they are really shining of the blessing they have received. *Blessed* - the target has 50% chance of being healed with 3 health in the end of every round. The effect will last over the next battle. Cronk *Blessed* (Played by CorneliusMurdock) Level 14.5 Knight Power: 25 Health: 23/23 Gold: 181 Inventory: Zoot's Bane (Long Sword) (WP: 11, Light Damage, suitable for Cronk), Sword of Bashing (WP: 5), Mockthrill Shield (SP: 4), Potion (2), Bedroll, Pointy Stick (WP:1), Fire bomb Sir Glorfindel *Blessed* (Played by soccerkid6) Level 8 Knight Power: 11 Health: 17/17 Gold: 91 Inventory: Ringil a sword (hollow blade [potion], Ice Elemental WP:3), Lion Shield (SP:2), Bedroll, Potion (3)(one in sword), Ice bomb, Fire bomb Elgar Gligin *Blessed* (Played by Jedi master Brick) Level 8 Ranger Power: 12 Health: 13/13 Gold: 109 Inventory: Mockthril crossbow (WP:4 Lightning elemental), Smoke bomb, Bedroll, Remedy (2), Orc venom, Potion (2), Ice bomb, Venom Tomas *Blessed* (Played by Captain Tamamoro) Level 14 Cleric Power: 20 Health: 23/23 Ether: 7/19 Gold: 200 Inventory:Shadeaux Staff (WP: 6), Gold Staff (WP: 4), Pongcanis Staff (WP: 5), 2 Potions, 3 Remedies, 2 Bedrolls, 1 Tonics, Bone, Grand Tonic, Fire Bomb, Shovel, Mead, Venom, Smoke Bomb, Topaz Elemental Gem, Smelling Salts, Common Axe (WP:5), Healing Staff (WP:5, healing effect) The priest's eyes widens as the heroes get up on their feet. "You are truly blessed by the Light! Everyone of you! I tell you, that is not common!" Feeling stronger then ever, the heroes leave the priest and the tomb. Where will they go next? The house to the left or the battlements? OoC: There was a 50/50 chance that you would be blessed, and all of you got good rolls! Sir Leo will join you after you have visited one more place, and don't worry, I got something for him too.

"The White Kitchen Rat will not escape me this time! Attack from the front row again!" The poison in Maurice's body was just a minor irritation to him at the moment, he was sure that the power of Ennoc would keep him alive until its effect faded away.

I think Sandy mentioned that Elphaba's wagon would be in the Marketplace from Samhaim to the beginning of Yuletide, can't find that post at the moment though. So that would be the equivalent to Christmas in Eubric I believe.

The Roman Soldier for me as well. It's a minifig fans have dreamed about for a long time. It's also the perfect army builder so I guess there will only be 3 of them in a box, just like the Spartan, the Elf and the Musketeer.

Great map! But I can't see my tower: At the Frozen River
