Lorkon and his Meledorian troops are overjoyed to have witnessed the spectacular defeat of the Chaos-master, for your victory has rid them of their greatest enemy. They call to you to come down from the roof and, when you appear at the doorway, they shower you with praise.
'We owe you more than our lives, Aonian,' says Lorkon, his strange blue eyes aglow with admiration. 'Your great deed has saved our realm and put an end to the plague of chaos that would have corrupted us all. We are forever in your debt.'
As he shakes your hand he notices the blade with which you dispatched the Chaos-master. 'It is a good omen for my clan that the sword you used to banish the evil one was forged by my ancestors. I am doubly proud that it served you well. But now it must return to the Grand Sepulchre, for such is our law.'
It is with some reluctance that you return the Ironheart Broadsword to its rightful steward (delete this Special Item from your Action Chart), for never before have you wielded as fine a sword as this.
Lorkon orders that word of the victory be sent immediately to his people, and commands that a celebration be held in your honour. But the urgency of your quest prompts you to forego the festivities and begin your journey to Haagadar at once. Lorkon understands your need to make haste and offers to help you by assigning another scout to guide you through the Nahgoth to the Plain of Guakor.
I accept. It takes us 5 days to travel through the Nahgoth Forest. He leaves me at the Plain of Guakor. I am asked to roll a number, and it’s an 8.
I continue on, and while I rest after a while, an emaciated serpent writhes towards me. I use Animal Control. I have to roll a die since it is so close to death, but I manage to send it off.
