Dragon mighty beast, make good rug for whole temple. Meat is okay too.
Naturally we shall brave the fires of our foe. To slay a dragon!
While bandits are certainly a nuisance, and rebellious vassals can cause problems, dragons have a terrible habit of destroying all those nice buildings and roads (and the people that use them, too, of course). Clearly, the damned lizard is of the highest priority.
Three of the Errant Knights set off to the north, to slay the rumored Dragon!
[6]None are foolish enough to dare stop the convoy of three knights on their journey, making record time! In fact, our party of heroes make in time to meet face to face with not just one Dragon, but two! Apparently this wasn't a mindless rampage, but a mating related migration! Neither Dragon looks particularly happy with this party of challengers, but that's just more glory for our brave Knights!
[-1 Rolls for the party of three in their upcoming individual battle rolls, to represent the increase in challenge.]
Sir Wisenwald thought himself very clever as he walked to the east. He in his wisdom knew that the dragon was far too dangerous a foe for but a few knights. So, he set off on his own to investigate the vassals. What was their reason for rebellion? How would they fight? Would they heed his reasoned arguments, or fall to his reasoned sword? He knew not, but would soon learn.
Wise as ever, Wisenwald heads off alone to investigate the rebellion.
[6]Sir Wisenwald, using his bountiful wisdom, decides to tackle the challenge of the unruly Eastern Vassals! He sets off to the East, using his great knowledge to deduce taking the main road would be the most efficient route. Of course he's right and makes it to eastern region without much difficulty!... unfortunately it seems that the Eastern Lords had similar thoughts! Sir Wisenwald finds himself caught in an ambush! Set up in advance when one of the lords had heard a Royal Knight was on his way to the Eastern Border.
[Phew, wasn't expecting 2 6s, heh. Anyway, I had a travel roll to see how your travel went, was going to give you a chance to do some preparations, talking with local villagers about the Dragon to potentially set a trap, getting a chance to snoop on the Eastern Vassal's domain before confronting anything, but the dice seem to want some action. Well, at least you made it to your destinations in a quick, safe manner.
