We are going to Cornumbria to do a vital job for the Duchess of Caith, Mother in Law of the Duke of Brandenberg. The guild security tell us: The independent clans of Brandenberg have annoyed the Countess… . & they don't pay taxes! (Well that is hardly a crime –a cover story no doubt for something far more important and Bard -wourthy !!!) The area we are going to is unmapped but full of dragons. A foul Villian called Count Azure dwells there. There is an Orc necromancer living in Castle Erwhon. Causa & Erewhon are rivals. Our employer's representative is a factor from Caith, a middle aged sold looking matron, serious of manner with (surprisingly) barely an admiring glance my way, called Elspeth Summers, twice removed from the noble Lady Lizette. The information is very secret (so I instantly try to forget it) & mostly I ponder the great conundrum of which is more fearsome & would best match my new set of armour - a large axe or a large sword ? Anyway, the jist of what she says is this: Our cause shall be just & wourthy. We need to “discourage†an evil & foul band of merchants & traders by “taxing them†of all of their possessions – which we may lawfully retain by way of legitimate & necessary disbursements. We need to beware the black fleet of Count Azul. Clan Flint, a gang of fearsome foes dwell somewhere there. We must be discrete! ( Aha – no flags or trumpets during battle) but should they believe we are Conumbrians, an equally evil clan but fine singers and prone to wielding the vegetable known as the leek, then so much the better. Our adventures, if if they weren't so secret would have be material for bards for generations.
We hold a mighty feast the night before our departure to prepare ourselves properly for this adventure. Lady Nicola - a serious lass spends her time praying (no doubt to conduct herself properly in battle - some folk are like that - they need ) & does not attend. Anyway, the ale flows freely & as does the roast meat, telling of tales & camaraderie. I know we have now properly bonded into a fearless band of warriors who would fight back- to-back a top of a mound of our stricken enemies - to the last man against the most insurmountable of foes…. I "decide" to sleep in the tavern at the table that night.
We are going to travel by sea with Captain Dylan who is half elf half selkie - (i.e. he is bit fey so keep that iron well hidden) but commands a swift & well armed corvette crewed by 10 sailors of mixed race. He will convey us across the bay to the Freetown Mages guild. I practice Navigating for the two days it takes to travel there
