Darklands: Providence

This is part of The Darklands story.

Bhagpuss insisted on travelling North East as that's where he felt the town of Goslar was. It was surprisingly difficult to find a map or reliable directions Ravanel realised and now more than ever she missed Syl, her gypsy friend. Fortunately the bishop had taught her well in talking her way out of tolls so entering other towns and random road tax enforcers (other than those employed by the church) were easily convinced to let them by.

There were much fewer bandits while following the road, and those that did show up were easily dispatched of by the soldiers Lyle, Jeromai and Bhagpuss. There was even a wandering merchant caravan they managed to sell some loot to. Eventually they reached the northern sea, and entered a friendly little hamlet called Kolberg.

The Schulz of the town, who acts as their leader, informed them they were headed the wrong way. Pointing out where Goslar was on the map (I seriously only found it then). However since they had already come this far he asked if he could use their help in solving a problem they were having. A problem by the name of Lothar of Bar, the robber knight. In addition he offered to come along to assist the team in putting an end to this evil sinner.

Sounds like a bad guy.

They agreed without hesitation.

    I'll bet she'll be back - stronger than ever! YES

    1. If I run out of people on my blogroll, probably! I am also realizing now I could have created your character to be tougher, so... ^_~

    2. Oh Syl, what do I do without your sense of direction? *'sniff*

      I'll have to read the rest of this comedy gold tomorrow during the next wipefest.

      P.S. I'm not familiar with this game, but if those green bars represent health, the future for poor Ravanel looks gloomy...

  2. "That's the last time we let you hold the map!" said Jeromai to Bhagpuss.

    1. Haha! Man you should have seen the look on my face when I actually found Goslar in comparison to where Kolberg was. Totally face palmed. :P
