Thine Challenge phase is over!
Here art the results:
Sirs Elensar, Victicus, and Sane each step forth to address the rebel. He mainly shouts at them to get back, but eventually starts to listen to reason. However, it is at this point that the sandstorm suddenly stops blowing and several panicked rebels appear on the hillside. Then one of them shouts that ‘Gerald is dead!’ and all hell breaks loose. The rebels start shooting arrows all over the place, hitting Sirs Sane and Adrian.
Fortunately, the rebels were not prepared for a fair fight, and you manage to subdue them without killing any of them. Once beaten, they are far more inclined to listen to reasoned arguments and you explain that you are not the Dragon’s agents, but that you are in fact on an important quest to sabotage the Dragon’s rule. The rebels had heard rumours of the Square Table’s survival, and are deeply apologetic about the whole ambush thing.
“Alas”, speaks one, “That Gerald had to lose his life in such an unfortunate misunderstanding”. You decide to help bury their fallen comrade, solving the mystery of his death at the same time. You climb out of the gully to where a robed man lies dead beside his staff; the mage responsible for the storm. A knife protrudes from his chest, and he no longer possesses a head. Remains of a head are splattered about the area, however, thus precluding any accusations of head-thievery.
You bury the body and say a short prayer over the grave, then bid the rebels farewell. You ride for several more hours before setting up camp and reflecting on the days occurrences.
