Epic V - Chapter 5: The Dukes are Dead
General Summary
Needfest 3 - Needfest 10, 1217
The next day, the party arrives in Ican City as the first snow falls, along with the researchers and conducts a Scry with Pottafer. However, the spell seems to only reveal a Wind Gate in a hilly area. This stumps Gerald and the mage who then see what they may have to do. They give the party a week to think over if they are willing to risk their lives and delve into the elemental planes.
Using this week, Burlone takes his time in searching for a bandit hideout while the rest go to the King’s castle, where Lovi in particular meets with the King himself and Haki meets with Captain Burge of the Royal Guard, Head Commander of the Ican Army. The King reveals to Lovi a confusing story on what happened to the Dukes and himself. During their moot, a dark shadow had swiftly dealt with three out of the four Dukes, leaving only him and Constantine Blackwater alive. The thing about this story though is that it took place only three days after the moot was officially held, which was 4 years ago.
In the middle of their story, a warrior named Manta crashes down through the window of King Mark’s throne room, leaving a huge gap in the stained glass. The two are dismissed and the rest of the party decide to try and lure bandits out. By an interesting fate, the whole party meet up with each other within Fort Vazicasa, where the guards offer them a stay in the barracks before they head off back to Weals. Upon entering however, they are ambushed by the guards, revealing their crooked nature as bandits.
How will the party fair against a whole fort filled with sly and sneaky bandits?
