Lonesome Wanderings, Session 24

 In which Badger...

  • Decides to put a hold on the tapestry and join the Ruby Phoenix Tournament being held.
  • Fails to recruit a retainer in Threshold even offering numerous perks.
  • Hires 3 orc mercenary siblings - Tom the spearman, Bom the swordsman, and Lilom the archer.
  • Sails to tropical Danger Island off the coast, where the qualification round for the tournament takes place.
  • Runs into his ex-retainer Spindle, who's formed his own team with the Top Shots, with Sebastian a glum journeyman, Lord Barkley a habitual statesman, and Alana a miserly swordswoman - competing for the prize as well! Things just got personal.
  • Tours the rest of Danger Island with the tour guide Ingdani, including the nearest fighting arena, the store market (where challenges often occur), and the Temple of Irohi where his team is to stay - once they clear it out.
  • Bumps into Tino's Toughest who give him a friendly good luck and pat on the back, not seeing him as much of a threat.
  • Avoids some spiders outside the entrance to the Temple of Irohi.
  • Explores the entrance to the temple and meets Ahmitar, a priest boy who's been caring for it.
  • Befriends Ahmitar, who offers to show them around the temple, fill them in on the dangers, and bless his allies weapons so they can kill the ghosts haunting the temple.
  • Clears out the courtyard with his hired orcs by killing some ghosts haunting it. 
  • Sells off some loot found in the temple courtyard, avoiding other challenging teams and getting some gold in the process, and taking a few minutes to rest before continuing to explore.
Current Level: Badger 7
