Far too many ruffians offering to “escort” travelers in these parts.Ĭount Gutlans, Lord of Yalen, is eager to pass of the responsibility of protecting his lands to me. And maybe somebody there may be interested in taking out this obnoxious bandit hideout. We head to Yalen, an ideal place to load up on produce, cheese, fish, and butter. We start in the Rhodok highlands, with an intent to join the Khergits soon, but in need of cheap supplies that may not be available on the road for some time.
Sieges, battles in the field, protecting allied caravans, even a good old fashioned raid! This will be a rather extended episode, covering what ended up being a rather extended campaign under Khergit command against two enemy factions.
