Had a pretty neat adventure - I hired a quilboar swordswoman named Krara, who I noticed talked a lot about 3 wild beasts that set up lairs around my starting civ. All of them she seemed to have a grudge against for killing her cousins - figured I'd help her get revenge.
We travelled for a bit, killing bandits and some wild predatory animals that ambushed us in order to train - I had to replace my other companion, a quilboar spearman whose name I forget, as his foot got severed - hired a mogu swordsman named Guilen to replace him.
We reached the lair of the first target, a
minion of gluttony named Lorah - the
lair was quite ghastly, there were many blood spatters over the floor and walls, each of which seemingly had a different name tied to it, and there was a cauldron filled with bug paste, blood, sentient meat, bones, hair and other organic tissue. Piles of armor, trinkets, remains and other junk littered the place.
Lorah wasn't alone - another minion of gluttony, this one stricken with leprosy, appeared out of another room in the lair. While at first the fight seemed to go smoothly, eventually the leper
broke Guilen's neck with a punch - the two gluttony minions then essentially ate him alive - he died when a bite collapsed his skull.
Krara fought on before her neck was also broken - she
suffocated shortly after I finished off both of the minions. I took both Krara's and Guilen's corpses and burned them - feeling obliged to finish her revenge, I went off to the lair of the next target, hiring a sand troll axeman and a dagger-thrower in the meantime.
The next one wasn't anything to note - another gluttony minion, this one
armed with a fork - it barely grazed me before
dying from blood loss - its body collapsed into the cauldron it used to cook the remains of its victims.
The last target was far more dangerous -
a gronn named Aetos Rightcave the Esteemed Earthen Gold - its "lair" wasn't actually much of a lair, merely a small area in the open desert where it kept various loot. He was armed with a steel knuckleduster and used it rather effectively -
my dagger-thrower companion immediately pelted Aetos with his daggers, whereas the axeman companion charged into melee, but was blown away by a cloud of dust from a ground pound. He eventually managed to
completely mangle both of my arms and scratch off my leg - nonetheless, Aetos gave into pain after repeated attacks from my axeman's hatchet. I used the opportunity to strangle him to death, which actually worked.
Krara's revenge fulfilled, I returned to my hometown and retired, figuring this was the best spot to end this adventurer's story - probably the best ending I could have hoped for as well.
