(G64 - BG 25/09/09 sans Olaf)
Meanwhile back at Seawall Pass...
(day 8 cont.)
The fellows made their way back to the town and were greeted with a heroes welcome. Or rather they were
once it was explained to the mayor why a dwarf had turned up at his door in the middle of the night
with a severed orcs head (a dwarf in fact that was suspect of already trying to kill the mayor
it may be added).
After that was dealt with everyone else went to join the party while Banjax went directly to bed.
However as the pub was soon filled with revelers he was soon awake again.
Deciding that while the town were all getting drunk that this was a perfect night for robbery he
set off to see what he could find.
His initial illegal entry was done simply by bringing some drinks to a house party and sneaking
upstairs. Finding nothing of interest he put on one of the dresses he found in the wardrobe and
left.
A little disappointed with his limited success however he soon turned up again at the mayors house,
dressed as a brewers assistant and offering the guards a free barrel of beer (spiked with spirits!).
He persevered even past the changing of the guards and once he had drank them into a stupor he
lurked into the darkness to clear the drink out of him so he would be slightly more compos mentis
for the robbery ahead.
Unluckily though, the mayor chose that time to return and much to his surprise saw Banjax heaving
up his guts not far from two unconscious guards. Banjax fled, but was followed to the tavern and
marched off.
The mayor decided to throw the miscreant in jail pending a trail.
(day 9)
Dana, Bokk, Wulfgar and Fredorick having already been rewarded by the mayor discussed further
options for adventure and it was suggested that they could go across the marshes to a lighthouse
which had not been heard of for a while and investigate.
Before leaving Dana and Fredorick looked in on Banjax and the wily bard persuaded the cleric
to persuade the mayor to let him come along. The bard did have to post 300 gold in bail though
and accept a 'Mark of Justice'.
So, the happy friends, all together again set off for the lighthouse across the marshes. They
were unmolested until the made camp.
(day 10)
During the night the camp was attacked by two hungry panthers who mauled to death every the
mule and two donkeys. The only donkey left at the end was the one belonging to Fredorick.
The heroes fought them off though, killing one and scaring off the other.
Wulfgar and Bokk went to roll the corpses into the swamp but were chased off by a,
presumably very lost, alligator.
Despite the loss of the baggage animals everyone felt somewhat better, somewhat more heroic
on waking up in the morning and with uplifted spirits they continued on their way.
Banjax realised that he had better prove himself a mighty hero at the lighthouse or things
would not go well for him back at Seawall and resolved to behave himself, for the time
being at least.
