Serpentis Family/Erik Eyolf/Requesting the Spoils of a Fallen Hero - Part II
Meanwhile
Zartos bought his freedom for 92 gold. Your dungeon wardens convert the ransom into bonds and send it to you.
You send someone into the dungeons, where prisoners of the realm are held.
The gaolers take 169 gold from your prisoner Akron (Fontan), bring it to the bank and convert it into bonds that are then sent to you.
You send someone into the dungeons, where prisoners of the realm are held.
You have put Akron (Fontan) on a ship to Colonies, hopefully never to see him again.
While the Judge was marching to the south, an experienced man acted in the best interests of Sirion. Gormok Auserwählt, the Judge's Right Hand made a visit in the dungeons to get the latest reports. Sir Zartos had bought his freedom, but the poor Akron was not so lucky. First, his gold was confiscated to pay the damage he caused against an Ambassador of Sirion in enemy lands. And after two reprimands with kicks and punches (nothing considered as torture) when he tried to escape, Gormok finally negotiated the deportation of the poor miserable one with a good ship's captain that would take him to the Colonies. A good work as always.
Negev
The battle does 41% damage to the fortifications.
The first travel into enemy territory had been extremely successfully . And the great war machines had proved it's worth. As he passed through the walls, Erik knew he would bring down it as he did in Al Amarah in a not so distant past. The target was now the heart of Fontan.
Fontan City - First Day
Your men take 311 in gold and valuables from the people of Fontan.
They also trash 38 units of food.
6 local peasants were killed by your men.
Erik knew too well the cities of Sirion. He had won a duel in Slimbar at the home of a great merchant and he knew how to seek the best targets. And this knowledge was essential to find the richest merchant in Fontan City.
When the night darkened the sky, the Stormwalkers raided the property. With the same orders to save women and children, the soldiers took the little square and started to burn what they found, spreading terror and death. The last guard fell under the sword of the Judge of Sirion, which provided a mercifully and quick death almost painless. That night, while the women and their children cried in silence, the soldiers drank the best Fontanese wine and celebrated the biggest looting that Sirion had succeeded for a long time.
Fontan City - Second Day
Your men take 132 in gold and valuables from the people of Fontan.
They also trash 7 units of food.
5 local peasants were killed by your men.
5 of your men were killed by farmers defending their valuables. Their death has been avenged.
Drunks, the soldiers marched under the leadership of their captain to a farm near the trading posts of the Fontanese city. The Judge had been in the merchant property looted in the last night, maybe to celebrate with the local women and permeate the enemy territories with a few more bastard children. Unlike some unscrupulous thieves and bandits, the good Judge never had to appeal to rape. The justice he spread, even in enemy territory, always yielded unexpected fruits. Women loved him like Elune loved him as well. And he loved them too. And the consolation was a feverish and passionate embrace.
While the Judge was took care of women, the soldiers took care of the treasures. And the looting started well. A good amount of value had been confiscated. But the future is always uncertain.
After five guards were killed, five drunk soldiers marched confident enough to continue the attack. Alone, they marched through the small farm in search of more resources. They would be an advise for the soldiers of Duke Alexander, who suffered the same fate that afternoon. Isolated and alone they were surrounded by an angry mob. And the farmers had no pity. With shouts, uncoordinated attacks and a protective rage, they beat inexperienced swords. They filled the afternoon with blood. The sweet taste of revenge.
Captain Andre has denied that those farmers were killed. In the distance, along with another fifty and three soldiers ready to attack, he made the decision that the Judge would have approved. Honor and courage should be considered. And the dead soldiers would be there for the satisfaction of the honorable protectors of these lands.
It was time to leave the city and return to Avamar.
But not before new acts of bravery and victory.
