Continuing from Starting Scenes.
The viewpoint character is Ser Litwitte.
Scene 4 - Minstrel and Banner
The soldiers here call their simple compound 'Chider's Bastion'. They didn't say why they were here, out in the meadows. And Chider wouldn't say. Maybe they protect sacred cows or guard against raiders.
(Oracles indicate they meet someone, a Pristine Raider planning on killing someone)
The Company (of knights) leave Chider's Bastion and head south east to the banner (12H). Kerensa, a travelling minstrel, greets them there.
She is interested in them and asks many questions. Tells them a story of a carpenter to the west, who had signs of great destiny about him.
The banner is old and hangs from an ancient tree. The Harvest Banner has a scene of crops and livestock, that changes every harvest.
Kerensa accompanies the Company to Chider's Bastion, where she entertains the soldiers.
Scene 5 - Into the Hills
Kerensa is one of the most travelled folk I've met, if her stories are true. For a minstrel I'm surprised she doesn't dress better. Once I'd have offered advice, but my time as a tailor is behind me.
Chider accompanies the knights, inspired by one of Kerensa's tales the night before. Kerensa stays at Chider's Bastion.
The Company look at swaying bridge of vines, wood and rope (12J) and seek another way around. Go up into the hills (13J) and spot a flock of red crows, making the soldiers nervous.
Camp peacefully in the hills, Ser Litwitte talking long into the night with her. Next morning she returns to the Bastion, leaving four soldiers with the Company.
Scene 6 - Bones Down Deep
I talked long into the night with Chider, and she told me of her brother, the ruler of this realm. She does not seek glory, and expects to marry a powerful knight or ruler of another realm. I told her of my lost home, a castle lost to fire.
Press on into the crags, (into the hex of the Catacomb. 13K) and find a waterfall of bones, falling into a ravine to the south.
The soldiers are spooked, but the Company investigates the hills around. They find something, or something finds them. The ground opens up and bony hands pull them down into a cavern, leaving their steeds above.
Here they face three waves of figures made of bone, similar to those they encountered under the tree. It's a desperate fight, but Ser Floria and Ser Litwitte battle free in the end. They drag out an unconscious Dorsell and the corpse of Ursell. The corpses of the soldiers, they are forced to leave behind. Both knights are bloodied, and Ser Floria has lost an ear.
(Ser Litwitte survives only by using his one-ever ability of Youthful Energy)
Scene 7 - Warleader
We had no time to bury Ursell well. A makeshift cairn of grey stones and no more. Ursell was a serious squire, sure and true, dying in service to his Knight. But we left his body in the hills, as we fled that night through the hills. Chased by mist and maybe other things, I remember nothing more than blood and darkness and the faces of the dead.
