A Simple Bet.
Ah, winter trips gone wrong... Those nice heartwarming stories told in the flickering light of campfires, infusing you with that warm fuzzy feeling... especially if you did not take part in it... In this one, the brave Warlord Taurth decided to brave the perils of Evermore with only two trusty companions: the ex-justice Nikola and Ledrick of Knights. We all know that treading through Evermore is done ever so carefully, even with parties bigger than this one. Seeing this party marching towards the elder thief Yorick, an idle immortal offered a bet to Taurth. He and his comrades must come out of Evermore alive. The stake: ten thousand gold. The adventurers managed to reach Yorick and slay him in fierce battle, but there was little time for celebration. They had to make their way back through the heavily guarded paths of Evermore. As they slowly hewed their way through throngs of thieves, someone uttered that classic line: "Let us do one more before we rest!" The outcome? Ledrick woke up at the Temple of Light only to find Nikola a hair's breadth from final death at his side. Yes, the simple math tells us that this left the Warlord alone within Evermore. They quickly formed a rescue party with Urthaelm and hastened towards the Wintery plains. They reached Evermore's entrance just in time to hear the Warlord's death scream. Needless to say they were but mere few steps away from exiting Yorick's domain before the fatal battle. That's one bet you would hate losing. Istina |
