In which our heroes ...

Tomorrow we die...
Orhan 5 Day 22 TE 6061
Except we don't die. We take the town, slaying the priest, and killing
the soldiers. We rescue Mikail, a fellow sailor from Oathar's fleet. Lord
Admiral Oathar sent this guy to track them down to their lair, but he
got caught in this town just before the Lankani took over and locked it
down. So he's been hiding out here.
After our freeing of the town, we find that about fifty old women and
children are left with no protection. One of the old women claims that
the book of To-Tonor indicates that all this horrible stuff was fated
to happen and they would have to be lead to safety by the mystic protectors.
Luckily, they think that's us, so we seem to be recruited to lead the
poor defenseless women and children to safety.
We march out and after a couple of hours, one of the kids runs off. We
search. Eventually we find him, sitting in a little clearing playing with
a little bear cub. When we approach, the mother bear attacks! 2nd lt.
Luarto get's attacked first, but this gives Abby time to steal away the
kid. This, of course, causes the bear to drop Luarto and attacks Abby.
In the end we kill the mother bear, and the little kids all adopt the
baby bear. Oh dear.
We march on. Later that day, we come across bandits who demand gold to
let us pass. We haggle a bit, and pay the toll. (3.5gold).
We travel on more and camp for the night.
Haeraan has a dream. It's pretty pesky. There are footraces and chariot
races. It's pretty bad.
We wake up and get everyone moving before the ravening hordes arrive.
Well, at least most of us wake up. The Sarge, er.. the first lieutenant
stays asleep. The rest of us manage to escort the mobs off the map. Thunderbrow
wakes up at the last moment and holds the ravening hordes back for the
final round of escaping. Yay!!!
