It was worth a shot.<p>The barbarians were currently holding their Festival of Life. As a Regna native, Bidley could never really understand the celebration. Duke Boragus was dead, and the even crueler and shrewder young barbarian lord Kilgor was taking his place. Krewlod was always on the edge of anarchy, but right now it was closer than usual. Bidley's fleet was far away, but he didn't have much need of it. Instead, he would gather some bold local fellows, capture one of the closest Krewlod forts, and assault Zargand from there. The motley tribes were busy cutting each other down for no reason at all; for a few coins, they'd be happy to attack whoever he told them to.<p>Bidley stopped a passerby, clearly not a local.<p>“Hey fella, where's the closest Krewlod army fort?”<p>“Straight north by the road,” answered the stranger laconically as he continued his journey.</p>}} | ||
{{TErow| 4 | Day 4| All in all, Bidley thought, he needed to hurry up. Sooner or later the news of their actions would reach the earwax-clogged heads of the local lords, and they would attempt to roust their unwelcome guests out of the area. But swift and determined actions would force those lords to surrender and to assist him in besieging Zargand. Of course, once Kilgor's henchmen arrive, anyone who had helped him would be executed--but these barbarians are so unprincipled, they're bound to pay for it sooner or later anyways.}} | {{TErow| 4 | Day 4| All in all, Bidley thought, he needed to hurry up.

{{TErow| 8 | Day 8| Scouts report that Krewlod's army holds multiple forts. One is located to the southwest, and the other to the northeast. The magical prison is in the northwest, but it would be foolish to approach it without a powerful army.
