52. Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king

I’ve been back in Daggerfall just a few days and yet I’ve managed to get myself mixed up in plot and conspiracy aplenty.  From dead bodies in side-streets, to monsters in waterways, caballers in taverns, to assassins in castles; Daggerfall is making Stros M’Kai look like the garden of the Divines.

Oh, but I did get the honour of meeting King Casimir III who for the record, dresses like a peacock.

49. Face to face with savagery.

49. Face to face with savagery

We all like to dream ourselves the hero.  When the monster attacks our egos would have us believe that we’d be the one to pick up the weapons, so as to defend the weak, to shield the innocent, and to slay the beast.  But in truth, we can never quite know how we will react until that moment comes when we are face to face with savagery.

For the record… I froze in fear, my breath faltered, I felt faint of heart, and I prayed that a hero might come and save me… and only then did I cleave the beasts head from atop its shoulders.

48. Two Moons over the Fighters Guild

Just a few days back in Daggerfall and I find myself visiting the local guildhalls looking for work once more.  A purse of gold doesn’t seem to last as long as it once did, especially once I had replaced armour, sharpened my sword, bought myself a horse, and spent… wasted… enjoyed a few lively evenings at the overpriced Rosy Lion inn; it is almost alchemy how these Breton innkeepers can turn ale that tastes like gnats piss into gold.

Thankfully between the local guilds, and listening to plenty of tavern gossip, work is not in short supply for a man who keeps his blades sharp.
