The Royal Ministry of Trade is setting out to survey and build roads linking some of the new settlements in the lowlands. Due to political scandal and maneuvering, they don't yet have the support of the army, and request Adepts to protect their crews while they work. Several of us responded to their ads, and met with Sundora Velm and her assistant, Pillian Morningdew at the Ministry offices, not the main offices but a very cramped overflow set of offices. We agreed to spend several weeks guarding a work crew laying out a trail from Foggy Glenn to Bards Bottom.
We traveled to Foggy Glenn and met the forman Theni Lliclo and his crew of very mixed workers. We organized our guard watches 24/7. We saw much amazing wildlife, but none of it disturbed the work until we noticed some Greater Termites making off with some construction tools, There were about 4 each of two different castes. We slew all except one, and then followed that back to it's mound, which turned out to be well over a mile away from the road. We posted two (stone) signs warning not to camp or rest in that area.
A few days later, at the end of the day, one of the road workers,N'Hato, a T'Skrang, was noticed missing, We found signs of a struggle and a kidnapping. We followed the signs and found that he had been kidnapped by some bandits who were questioning him what sort of protections the road crew had. There was a Troll with two war dogs, and 3 people with bows (one quite good). In the resulting fight we slew the troll, and captured two of the other bandits. We kept them captive and turned them over to the city watch of Throal. Statistics:Posted by ChrisDDickey — Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:08 am
