17th Fourth Quarter 998 - Noon
Sapphire and Jack
Siblings were moving on with the Isethian army until they reached the spot where Wolf's Road split between Erdhen and New Larramsir. It was time to start working on another assignment - the silver stolen from royal treasury.
[3] Since there was no time to waste, Sapphire and Jack immediately followed the route to New Larramsir. They weren't in a hurry though, as it the city wasn't that far.
[6] On the way they as usual marked an interesting spot - from the trade route one could see a big lake, with giant lungfish roaming ashore. These aquatic predators can grow up to the size of a boar, and while they aren't overtly aggressive towards humans, children may still seem as a good snack for these beasts. There might be a reward for getting rid of these.
[2] Siblings were moving on slowly, taking their time on the road and wondering who could steal a few carriages of silver ingots guarded by royal guards.
Tyr Loknar
[3] Walking calmly and slowly from the small lane leading from Lounge's estate to the city, asking for direction on the way, Tyr reached the building of Erdhen Smithy - the best weapon and armor smiths in whole province. He entered the building and took a look at the wares.
[4] There was a good selection of fine quality steel weapons - from long and short blades through spears and mauls up to halberds and war hammers. He even noticed a decent shortsword with Isethian ornaments on it's hilt that he could put to good use. Tyr approached the apprentice that ran the shop, greeted and asked:
How much is that weapon? - pointing at the shortsword.
[1]
I'm sorry, but everything you see here was made on a contract with Iseth's army. There's nothing for sale right now. - the young, frail man replied.
[2] Tyr asked about other places where he could buy weapons, but the man said that he don't know about any other weaponsmiths in the city.
[5] Just when he was ready to leave, the apprentice said that there is a possibility of forging new weapon for him after signing a contract. The man took out some papers from a desk and showed it to Tyr.
[5] He read it all a few times just to be sure that there's nothing wrong with it, as it was an excellent bargain. Shortsword forged from steel of highest quality with Isethian ornaments and an ornamented scabbard for mere 175 Florins. He signed the contract and the apprentice said that in two days the weapon will be ready.
[4] Then Tyr decided to also check armors - there was a wide variety of them. From chainmails and scale armors through lamellar armors to full plate mails. These were for sale, however Tyr lacked the skill required to fight properly in any of these.
Lost: 175 Florins
Euzaroch
[5] Euzaroch and Kallun opened up some small vents that the sorcerer prepared when carving the hideout in case of emergency like this one. Cloud of toxins flewn out of it and dispersed in the air, droplets of firewater were still on the ground, it wasn't condensed enough for it to even ignite. They went inside and cleaned up the mess, then Euzaroch asked his companion:
Are you ready to travel?[2]
Not yet, but perhaps I may feel better tomorrow. - the sorcerer hastily replied.
[3] Then together they packed everything they'll need for the journey - food, water and some tools.
[5] Next they tried to brew those potions again, this time using components found in a hidden stash that survived Euzaroch's first flawed firewater and found during cleaning. This time he did excellent job, getting three vials of fleadust, two of rust-eater and one of firewater.
Received: 3x Fleadust, 2x Rust-Eater, 1x Firewater
Vrillith
[Vril: 4, Out-Realm Raider: 6] Vrillith regained his strenght and got up from the ground just when the armored figure was approaching the camp. He readied his dagger and charged with a few stabs, but out-realmer dodged them easily. Then he made a powerful swing against Vril, which would end fatally if not for the Blade of Blackwill - whirls of blue energies formed a shield that blocked the strike, some of it electrifying and slightly wounding the raider! Still, force of his attack was strong enough to slightly push Vril back!
[Out-Realm Raider: 1, Vril: 2, Sunrise Knights: 4] When both Vrillith and armored figure regained balance after both attack and shielding, the knights got up and ignited their swords again, then charged at the out-realm raider! While they blades couldn't cut through the armor, they manage to knock it to the ground and probably inflict some burns! Vril got slightly burnt by the flames too!
[Vril: 3, Sunrise Knights: 1, Out-Realm Raider: 3] The armored figure quickly got up from the ground and shouted out:
Ackh shaelador! - grabbing it's great sledge and pounding it into the ground with whole strenght. The strong shockwave pushed Vril back even further, while spikes of rocks that protruded from the ground impaled two of the knights and wounded the third one!
[Sunrise Knight: 3, Out-Realm Raider: 2, Vril: 2] The only knight that survived charged at the figure while it was regaining it's strenght and managed to land a few hits on it. Vrillith was regaining balance after the shockwave pushed him back.
Discovered effect of Blackwill's Bless - Energy Shield
Energy Shield - a shield composed of blue whirls of energies, forming around when an extremely strong attack is made against protected one. It can work twice during whole battle, and is able to backfire some damage against the attacker.
