Turn 36: The Search Ends
~Tradebridge Castle~
After dismissing those unwilling to serve in his guard,
Rabble and his men returned to the castle. Everything seemed peaceful as he entered. The Baron was still under wraps, along with the too-loyal guard. The scullery maid was talking to some man next to the mill and sent him away when Rabble caught her eye. With a substantial blush. Other than that, all was well. His five new guardsmen would need some training, or at least orientation, but he was pleased to have more men to keep watch.

Lork was greeted with a far different sight than he expected. There were 15 bandits in the cave, all stripped to their small clothes, and all dead. As he looked at the mess before him,
Eliza bumped into him and, in her shock tripped over him and nearly landed in a pool of blood.
Jongo and
Xaver caught up with the pair, and while Jongo joined the others in staring in shock, Xaver began looking over the corpses more carefully. A full ten of them had been killed by a single wound, either to the neck or chest. The other five had more substantial wounds, one of them having had his head cut off. All looked to have been dead for a while, but none smelled.
Bomrek resumed punishing trees for crimes unknown, but his hammer was no less unwieldy.

Mood: Triumphant
Bandits: 13 Bandits (9 Unconscious, 1 Dead, 3 Surrendered), 2 Bandits (Armored) (1 Surrendered, 1 Unconscious)

Cortis made the blacksmith very happy. Two swords of little martial value would become two invaluable plows, plus metal to spare. The ring was of so little consequence, though, that Cortis was told to keep it. In exchange fifteen arrowheads were promised. The actual delivery would take some time, though not terribly much. He suggested talking to David to see if anything needed to be done.
Loyalty: Mayor David (NPC)
Food Stores: Nonexistent (decentralized)
Assets: Blacksmith, Timber
wipeout1024: I’ll set the cost for first level in a martial art to 7 valor (yes peradon, this can include Kung Fu, though I’m liable to rearrange the letters to meet my fancy). So you’re a little bit off, but you could get there after a little more fighting. Or failed practicing, as per my conversation w/ Nirur.
