Nancy's Journey to the West

Nurse Nancy, a new recruit to St. Florence's Monastery of Karst, is travelling westward in search of her original goal of finding Burt Bell - an elderly bard with a knack for stirring songs and cheers - and bring him back to the nursing home.   The caravan hosts anyone who wishes to go with the nun, as well as migrants seeking the warmer coast and mercenaries paid to stave off raiders and goblins.   The journey will pass small settlements and huge plains, known for the roving bands of cavalry. The local riders are usually in an uneasy truce with their neighbours. But many have taken up banditry and raiding in the current famine.
