| You confront the Chaos invaders at Birchcross. They have the numbers, but you are seasoned Chaos-slayers and even the nastiest of them have difficulty facing you (they were all ~85% or less in best skills; or often less). On the north side of town Fraud and Shrett face a larger group consisting of a naked, horse-headed broo with thick scabrous skin, wielding a glowing sickle; and a slavering, pus-sore-covered goat-broo with sickle; and a foul-smelling disease spirit; and a crazed, scarred woman with glowing sword and dagger; and a typical goat-broo with mace and shield. On the south side, a scorpion man in heavy armour and wielding a glowing shortspear; its left hand ending in a scorpion-pincer; | You confront the Chaos invaders at Birchcross.

| - | Shrett soon is surrounded, by the spirit and two broo. But Fraud comes in to help, and drives off the spirit before it can do harm. Shrett holds his own desperately against the broo, and soon the pus-broo is downed with a single sword-slash to the head, then the woman too, who has closed in a bit late; her left leg rendered a bloody mess. Meanwhile Bog makes short work of the scorpion man, crunching his thorax and then smashing his face. The archer is firing Multimissile arrows at Bog and Boamund but they all bounce harmlessly off their armour. Bog hurries over to help Fraud and Shrett, and together they wear down the tough horsehead-broo; | + | Shrett soon is surrounded, by the spirit and two broo.

| Renuvela confesses to Fraud in private, within a temporarily abandoned farmhouse, that she seeks Arkati, not the Sun Temple; that she has seen how you have faced Chaos down, and also how you are diplomatic; and that she has indeed withheld information and lied. She hopes he will come to understand she did this out of love for Nemiast; all that she has left; in desperation. Indeed, he is not Sun-blessed but much worse. Since birth he was strange – indeed, very curious and showing promise for a future philosopher or priest -- but at his adulthood initiation ritual in Orlanth’s hall Karulinoran he met one of the Storm God’s brothers, who took him outside where a wounded man lay. The man died as Nemiast inquired if he could be saved, and the brother said that Nemiast had seen a great secret whose answer most people do not want to know, and he can show Nemiast more where the wind does not blow. They wandered and saw a ram that caught fire, and Nemiast tripped then fell into a cave, where he met a headless man who asked for the head of the ram from its burning carcass. The headless man put the ram’s head on his shoulders and told Nemiast to seek him again to gain more knowledge. Nemiast returned from his ritual and the adults knew that evil things had happened to him: he had become tainted by Chaos. They sought to sacrifice him to the flames but Renuvela fled with Nemiast, and thus you met her. Perhaps those boars did not like Nemiast for what he was… | Renuvela confesses to Fraud in private, within a temporarily abandoned farmhouse, that she seeks Arkati, not the Sun Temple; that she has seen how you have faced Chaos down, and also how you are diplomatic; and that she has indeed withheld information and lied.

| Your imminent goals are to: inspect the temples (Bog and Shrett to Great Green Lady; Boamund to Ehilm; Fraud to Lhankor Mhy) then find a good tavern (Hunla knows many), then maybe go to Tiskos and/or Gamol, depending on what you learn next. | Your imminent goals are to: inspect the temples (Bog and Shrett to Great Green Lady; Boamund to Ehilm; Fraud to Lhankor Mhy) then find a good tavern (Hunla knows many), then maybe go to Tiskos and/or Gamol, depending on what you learn next. | ||

| + | There was also something funny that Bog witnessed, as he tried chasing after Rolthor and Nemiast: the priest shouted back at him, “So cometh Urcheth!”. Bog didn’t know this name. Surely nothing important. Not ominous at all. Nothing could come of it. | ||
