Onward To Oraskat

Our Heroes, the nine brave adventurers of Anasdiazi's Raft, have returned to Garakt and received a hero's welcome. They have fought the invaders to a standstill, they have driven the outlaws from the land, and they purge the insidious Chaos cult that has been plaguing the townsfolk. The blacksmith was so relieved, he gifted them with a fine sword. Of course, Our Heroes are no slackers and so they still spent their coin where it was needed for their upkeep. A few went foraging for herbs, but nothing was found. Oasasya became annoyed at this, and went to the local herbalist to study about foraging better. Puddles went fishing again, and found a sweet spot. He caught two fish worth three gold crowns in total. Anasdiazi was offered a suit of full armor made just for ducks by the blacksmith, for 15 gold crowns. Anasdiazi quickly bought it, as the blacksmith had clearly been working on it for quite some time. Quackmore tried it on, and it fit well.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, Anasdiazi decided it was time to move on. Oraskat, a nearby village, had been heard to have some problems that needed addressing in much the same as those of Garakt. And so the Raft packed their belongings and began their journey.

On their trip, they met an entertainer, a jovial and friendly girl from Oraskat. They stayed by the roadside and chatted for quite a while before going their separate ways. A day later, as they approached the gates of Oraskat, they came up behind a Humble Priest returning to the village. He had heard of the great service they had rendered to Garakt, and said he would put in a good word for them in town.

Observant readers may notice there are no pictures in this post. Because of the random nature of encounters in Five Leagues From The Borderlands, there was no combat encounter this game turn, only the roadside encounter. When travelling from one village to the next, there is an additional roadside encounter as you arrive at the new town. So, there were two roadside encounters and no combat encounters.

I am also going to be taking a bit of a break from playing "Five Leagues In Glorantha" to get some more opposition miniatures painted, I feel like I am using the same three groups of models as the bad guys over and over again, and I would like to see more variety. I have two more groups of bad guys ready to paint, I just need to take the time to do it. A;so, some of my scenery is in dire need of repair as well. Trees keep falling out of the bases! Mayhap some new scenery as well? But I do plan to play a game or three of "Gangs Of Tatooine" in the meantime, as well as post more Old Lead, musings, and perhaps some other Five Leagues or Five Parsecs related content.
