Problems in Darveshnagar are mounting as gnolls and bandits threaten the roads. Food is growing scarce in town and the merchants are looking for more.
The one military unit in town, volunteer spearmen keeps the road open, but the Knights of St Edras will have much to do. Too much to do for their own goods. The knights opted to track down a massive devil boar that attacked hunters and gnolls alike.
Tracking the large boar to its lair uncovered that it had taken over a bandit lair and killed several of the bandits, partially devouring them.
The "boar" turned out to be an ogre infected with lycanthropy, leading to a hard battle in the cave.
Let's just say the scene ended on a war crime as the prisoners (future meal) of the ogre met a sudden fiery end...
When the knights returned to the Tower, they found the skulls of six of the spearmen on pikes forming a welcoming committee of sorts...
Another development is that Fatima found a charming girl for Vulcanus. Marya is a pious orphan she believes would make a great match. She even sent him a portrait of the girl.
