B We don't have to pay, we go where we want.

You approach the mounted Grothii. On their horses they were able to look you straight in the eyes. To their credit they showed little fear. You slowly draw your sword.
“I claimed this sword from a Demon Prince of Hell. I have bested the champions of the Black Scar. I have no wealth to offer. I am Rogg the Paladin, I go where I want. If you seek to claim tribute from me you may try. You would regret it though.”
The riders shift nervously, and the old man speaks.
“We will grant you neither blessing or cursing then. We do not count those who fight the Abyss as foes.”
Without another word they ride away.
You continue on to Lorchus, passing through a wild wood, with trees that shake and shiver even in the absence of wind. Your men grow nervous, and even the orcs show a little concern. A bestial howl echos through the woods every now and then, freezing the water in men’s veins.
A day and a half through the forest, a white stag appears before you and stares. As your party begins to move on, the stag leads, darting away and coming back when no one follows it.
What do you do?A. Follow it.
B.Don’t follow it
C. Throw a spear at it.
First off, who the hell are the Grothii?
Just a “barbarian” Kingdom in the North
Posting to Watch. Also, what happened to Alina? She's probably pretty shell shocked over everything, but the last two survivors of a village looking after each other has a good story to it.
Hmm I didn’t address that did I? She hid from the fleeing demons and joined your party, and became one of your champions.
