Episode 3

Ganeus is alive! Awakened to the joy of Rotex, and overwhelming joy of Hubert as he shoves Rotex out of the way to hug him, Ganeus is at last safe again. However, not the same was to be said about the party as a knight, his squire, and a guard were in town to keep the Duke’s peace – having heard about a vicious assault in The Flopping Donkey.

Not wanting to go into custody, Rotex volunteered to duel the knight’s squire – for either freedom or death. Although he came very close to winning the duel, the squire scored a massive hit at the last moment that brought Rotex to unconscious. Charging in to save his new friend, Krosh was quickly subdued by the knight. As the squire was about to kill Rotex, Ganeus, knowing the knight, came out of the medic tent leaning on Hubert to stop the execution.

Ganeus promised the knight a feast in celebration of the party saving his life and in honor of the knight’s mercy. So the party set off to hunt for the feast! The decided to head into the woods to catch some boar. Rotex leading the tracking party, the followed some tracks through the jungle. Coming across a few bear traps that almost caught Irdlemurdle, as well as giant elk tracks that you chose to ignore, you came to a cave where the boar seemed to live. Rotex cautiously moving in first, the boar charged. Rotex swiftly ended that charge by smashing the boars face into oblivion. Having caught their meal, they proceeded to head back to town.

Along the way they came across a poacher resetting his bear traps, and after what seemed like hours of awkward small talk, continued along their way. As soon as they exited the forest, the druid from before showed up again. She was angry that they had not dealt with the poacher, and warned them that because they didn’t, nature would not help them against the heinas.

Now afraid of heinas eating their boar, the party proceeded back to town in diamond formation with the boar in the middle. Reaching town safely, Irdlemurdle expertly carved the boar and the feast commenced. There was much ale, singing, and storytelling.
