Chapter 2 – Big trouble in White Town

The dino-riders were particularly interested in knowing more about some of the things happening in an area which seems to be controlled by a powerful sorcerer. They didn’t know much though, so we thought we could help and check out what's going on around the caves where the sorcerer lives. Any excuses to get in the mix and kill some people/beasts/infants/ladies/zombies work for us. We are very democratic in choosing our victims, everyone has a chance: no discrimination whatsoever. We then travelled north (I believe?! Matt scan the map for me please) and got to White Town, a town with only white people.Those guys confirmed that the sorcerer lived in the caves; also every now and then that guys sends some weird beasts to kidnap people in their town. That’s not good, is it?!

The white people don’t have much to offer, they seem to be a relatively poor community of peasants and hunters, nothing more. The only interesting figure in their community is a healer, who is very worried the citizens of White Town are starting hating him a bit. Some of them seem to be mistakenly suspicious about his role in the community. That’s what we gathered from him thanks to Rozilla’s (Ben’s) psychic powers. Stalking level: 30.

We decided to help out the white people, even though White Town is not a rich place and those white chaps have no significant rewards to offer. The white people told us also about a fortified town relatively nearby inhabited by a community of red people.

---digression 4/Red Town

The red people are mercenaries and offer their services around the area. They are also very interested in trade and commerce, their specialisation being poisons and lotus flowers. And where do they get their lotus from? From the sorcerer!! They are not particularly friendly and don’t let anyone enter their community.

---

So we decided to find and (maybe) kill the sorcerer. We travelled to the caves and in the very first corridor found a bunch of weird people harvesting for lotus. We probably could have walked past them, but somehow we decided to engage combat. What we didn’t know was that this fight could have potentially ended in a total party kill! In fact after a few rounds we were all dead or unconscious, with the exception of Simon’s character (name?!), who managed to kill the last one of the lotus farmers and dragged our bodies to the dinosaurs. But we could have never made it if Simon didn’t feed a massive slug (is that what it was?) with Malte’s dead body…but Simon, in a moment of true loyalty and friendship, beheaded Malte. Now that head is in a jar that we proudly carry with us wherever we go.
