Castle Aeravir

In which...

1. I win a purse from Huldra

2. I am given the favor of Lady Aeravir

3. And then I rob her blind

Week 7 Day 2

On the road through the farmlands of Tulith.

Week 7 Day 3

Easy day on the road. It's kind of nice to be on my own again and not have to worry about feeding so many mouths.

Though I do miss my dwarf companions.

Week 7 Day 4

Castle Huldra is ahead.

Week 7 Day 5

Make it to the castle. I ask to have an audience with the Baron but am refused. I will try again tomorrow.

Week 7 Day 6

I encounter the Master of the Household and am put in a position where I must buy his favor or never meet the Baron. 10 gold is not too much to pay. I hope.

Week 7 Day 7

Finally meet with the Baron!

Don't get any men, but he gives me 50 gold, which more than pays for what I had to pay to bribe the master of the household.

I think Huldra has given me what it can. Tomorrow I will continue south.

Week 8 Day 1 - 4

On the road

Week 8 Day 5

Outside Tulith I meet six mounted warrior monks who charge me 10 gold to pass.

Seems most of the Baron's gold may go to bribes.

Week 8 Day 6

On the road

Week 8 Day 7

Heavy rains. I catch another cold and am running a fever.

Week 9 Day 1

Rains clear. Continue on my way.

I miss my horse.

Week 9 Day 2

I should make it to Lullwyn in a couple days. I don't know if I'll make it to Aeravir in time though.

Week 9 Day 3 - 4

On the road

Week 9 Day 5

Arrive in Lullwyn. Not even going to stay here the night if I can help it. I must continue straight to Aeravir for help.

Week 9 Day 6 - Week 10 Day 2

On the road. Crossing the farmlands of Aeravir.

Week 10 Day 3

Aeravir. This is likely the end of my journey one way or the other. I have mere days before the usurper's army arrives in the north and my kingdom is lost forever.

I pay the seneschal a bribe of 30 gold. The last of the Baron's gold. And am told to come back tomorrow.

Week 10 Day 4

The seneschal escorts me to see Lady Aeravir. She favors me and gives me 80 gold pieces and a nerve gas bomb.

This brings me to 300 of the 500 gold I need to raise an army, and only three days to find the remaining 200. I fear I have already failed.

Week 10 Day 5

Desperate I try to seek out any news or information. I attract the attention of the castle guard. Seven of them to be exact. They give me a look but allow me to pass since I carry the Lady's favor.

Week 10 Day 6

Taking the Lady's offer to heard, I find another comfier room in the castle.

Week 10 Day 7

I steal 200 gold from the castle and run away in the night, fleeing into the surrounding farmland.

I hate to break Aeravir's trust like this, after she was so kind to me. I will pay her back tenfold once I have reclaimed my throne.

Now I will go raise my army and take back my kingdom.
