In which Badger...
- Is requested by one disheveled noble to investigate the mysterious goings on in their keep.
- Gets paid handsomely to take the job and investigate the keep and the strange "beast" that seems to haunt it.
- Travels through hills and mountains from Best Tea 852 to Teramon's Keep in the village of Verge.
- Encounters his former rivals from the Ruby Phoenix tournament Tino's Toughest, the four of whom agree to join him on his quest for a share of the loot.
- Flees from Mindblade Order agents who attack him in retribution.
- Runs into Loshad the Chevall, who in discovering Joe the Free Horse's conspicuous absence assumes the worst and attacks.
- Manages to convince Loshad Joe's death, while unfortunate, was natural, enough that Loshad tells him to get lost and that he shouldn't expect any more help from the Chevall.
- Encounters Ms. Fyoderall the trader elf, with whom he has a friendly chat in which he introduces Tino's Toughest.
- Encounters a strange set of Preta spirits eating refuse from the shell of a decaying tortoise, before slaying the mad spirits with the help of Tino's Toughest.
- Has a vision of Ngaire, the Poppy Lord, decimating the remaining dozen or so agents of the Iron Ring who remember Badger's face as a boon for Badger acquiring the sacrifice from the Naga, eliminating the faction as a direct threat to Badger at the least.
- Arrives at Verge town, which is dour and tense given the beast's incursion.
- Meets one Sergeant Alkin, whose armor and weapons has been destroyed by the beast inside the keep after trying to explore it, camped outside the keep.
- Is forced to kill Alkin when he sees through Badger's trick of buying him platemail as a false gesture of goodwill to be a sacrificial pawn in exploring the tower and resultantly attacks Badger.
- Sets up camp outside the keep with Tino's Toughest and keeps watch as they all rest for a month, celebrate Badger's 26th birthday, and come up with a plan.
Current Level: Badger 8, Tino's Toughest 4
