Session Report #2: SWORDS AGAINST THE SIN TAX!

HUZZAH! Once again, the COMPANY OF HEROES has returned from STONEHELL victorious against FIENDISH FOEMEN!

Firstly, BUENDAR would not allow a challenge to go unheeded, so sought SATISFACTION at the DUELLIST'S DOLMEN.

CLEMENT-1, BUENDAR-0

SADLY, our Fighting-Man soon discovered—much to his chagrin—that CLEMENT THE CALLOUS was no mere pup to be easily bested, but a HARD MAN indeed, leaving our greenhorn reeling and forced to undergo a painful PUBLIC APOLOGY.

SWEET VENGEANCE, it seems, will have to be sought on the JOUSTING FIELD come OCTOBER!

Too dumb to be distressed  

Despite this setback, the Company rallied valiantly, taking on several new recruits: DEGORE THE DISORIENTED, REMI THE ROTUND, the time-lost MILO THE MEASURE, and BLAWYNDIE THE DOG, even as they buried GUILLAUME and TRAYVON outside GREYSTONE CHAPEL. May the FALLEN rest in peace!

Before setting out for STONEHELL, the band joined a BLOOD-PACT with ANGUS THE ANALYTIC to exterminate those CHAOTIC CANNIBALS who slew his sword-brother. In gratitude, the cold-blooded mercenary provided a map to the BANDIT CAVES of the ALMSMEN—his former compatriots—along with a rough description of their numbers and routine.

Ill-fit for a longship

A matter, it turned out, to be of immediate interest when LARRY THE FRIEND spied upon the Almsmen's forward camp in the ILLUSIVE WOOD. Inside, he found nearly a half-dozen ROUGH MEN lying in wait, eager to relieve the party of any TREASURES won from the UNDEREARTH.

Affronted by the LAWLESS TAXATION planned by the BRIGANDS, the Heroes set a snare of their own, drawing the thieves into a WEB OF THEIR OWN DECEIT!

Hie me back to 1974

Soon, planning and coordination would easily win the day for our Heroes, who suffered NARY A SCRATCH for their efforts while the brigands would be forced to lay down their arms after three of their number were quickly dispatched. The pair of survivors were captured, BAPTISED in the RIVER SHRILL and SAVED by the LORD OF LAW, to serve HIM against the CAUSE OF CHAOS!

PRAISE BE!
