Attempted Murder: Merchants in Lugard Beware!

Post by Shiver » Wed Aug 19, 2020 9:24 pm

I, Shivver, was accosted on the road near Lugard. Those travelling to market should be aware that SUERN ATAR, a known attacker of Warders and Aes Sedai, has attacked this humble traveler on the 19th day of the month of Saban, year 1356. Below is the specific account of his treachery and haplessness.

Stairwell
At the end of the hall sits a set of very narrow, winding stairs. The
wooden planks that make up the steps look motheaten and not very steady.
There is no handrail and the tops of the stairs are practically invisible
in the darkness. No one has been here for a long, long time.

Suern clumsily approaches you with a pair of moonstone hilted dirks, but you fend off the attack.

You try to pierce Suern, but he parries successfully.
You panic and attempt to flee!


You flee head over heels.
Before a Stone Tower
The Lugard Road continues to the north and south. Looming to the west,
standing strangely close to the road, is a massive stone building with
an impossibly tall tower reaching up to the sky. The impressive gates
of Lugard itself stand directly south.

A warhorse is here, stamping his feet impatiently.
