Modifying scene set-up : (6) -> interrupted scene (96) NPC positive 12 Lady Ivy (45) celebrate (25) friendship
Interpretation : Lady Ivy comes to wake up Bartons with a present before the expedition take off.
The night is short and the sleep light. Barton wakes up with the weird feeling, he didn’t notice the expected noise of people preparing to leave. He turns and sees Lady Ivy sitting on a straw bale smiling at him.
- “My lady … morning , what happen ?
- “Nothing be reassured, I like to be prepared before everybody.
- “Why are you here ? In such a moment I am maybe not the best adviser.
- “He he, I am not here for military tactics and sure you are surely not the first I would asked for this, no offense. But I like you and remember me, myself few years ago following a brave paladin in path to glory.
- “And what happens ?
Lady turns her head looking at the closest fire : - “I get the glory...
- “Sorry I didn’t want to say something wrong…
They talked during one hour about the country, Lavina and Lady Ivy open also a bit about her past flirt.
- “Now I need to go, in 1 hour I am leaving with 50 men. You can follow us until Chilton. From there I will give you the location of Lavina.
Barton fainting the surprise since he already knows the location : - “Oh my Lady , thank you
- “You can call me Aldora when we are only together. One more thing, I asked for a horse for you and this.
She gives to Barton a piece of nice fabric. He opens it and saw a pair of bracers.
- “I think they can be useful for someone like you.
- “Thank you Aldora, what can I do to…
- ”Tst, tst, talking is enough and we should do it again. I really to go now, see you in one hour Barton.
- “See you, Aldora
Bracers of Archery (proficiency with the Longbow and Shortbow, +2 bonus to Damage Rolls on Ranged Attacks)
Barton equips the bracers and he can feel the addition in strength they can give when using his bow. He gathers all his equipment and goes to the kitchen. Twyla is here and give him a big breakfast with a smile.
One hour later the column is ready, a stable boy give to Barton a medium grey horse. More used to walk than riding, he goes on top of the animal who feels his nervousness. Apparently it’s an easy mount. As soon as the other horses move in front, it follows.
Barton can see Willibert in the front close to Aldora Ivy.
Is the 2 days journey to Chilton goes without trouble ? (cf7 - likely - 54 - Y)
On the first night, a camp is established on a big grass field closed to the bridge. Barton spends the night talking with Willibert and Lady Ivy without mentioning her first name. At the end of the second day they reach Chilton. Since Master Hayden left, they took the guild hall as head quarter and fill the Inns around. They are happy to receive customers. Before going to bed, Eldora asks to meet Barton at the stable at the first light.
Any trouble during the night at Chilton ? (cf7 - very unlikely - 18- Y)
Is a group of mercenaries put the village on fire ? (cf7 - likely - 09 - EY)
In the middle of the night, a bell starts to ring. Lots of movement and shouting breaks the silence of the night. The little town is mostly made of wood and thatch. Barton emerges on the central place to see mostly the south of the village on fire. Since there is no river close by and only few dwell it’s going to be almost impossible to stop the blaze. Paladins and squires are saving the horses and ready to charge. In less than 10 minutes they open the East gate and 30 of them ride south by the little secondary road. Barton is following at the tail.
A group of 12 archers and 24 mercenaries are waiting. A rain of arrows welcomes the riders.
Is the first wave is going to kill the mercenaries ? (cf7 - 50/50 - 60 - Y)
- Note : the NO threshold was at 75 and Extremely Yes at 15, based on this I decided d12 dead and d12 injured, and I rolled badly. -
Is Barton Injured ? (cf7 - Unlikely - 61 - N)
The battle rages in the dark. After 15 mins, no more sound breaks the night. But when the group comes back, we can see sad face all around. 10 peoples died and 10 are injured. Barton uses his power and medicine skills all the night to help the survivor. He can see the sadness on Lady Ivy face.
- "I should have plan and stop them rushing...
The next morning half of the town is burned and still smoking.
Lady Ivy decides to make a base here before going further south. She sends messages to the queen herself and Elkington but any help will come in 2 weeks at least.
Barton proposes to Aldora to stay and help to hold the town.
- “We will save Lane later, we cannot push south now, too many unknown. We can defend our position easily here. Go find her...
She gives Levina’s location : In 2 miles on the west road he needs to turn south on a small single track, continues during 2 days to the waterfall at the foot of the mountain and turns west to climb during 2 days to the cabin. He takes a breakfast and put 5 days of provision in his bag and leaves the town by the west gates after a last thank-you and good-bye to Aldora
