Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); The fireplace is relit, but the dishes are still boiled beans. The pockmarked man told the guests very apologetically that if the smell of meat wafted out, it might attract people from the castle.

"What kind of knights were they, nothing better than robbers. They closed the barns, looted food, looted every penny. I heard they went to villages far away to loot, and God knows what they did. Bad thing. Although there is no lord and no one to be loyal to, as a knight, you should still protect the weak, right?"

Siegel sat close to the fireplace, sipping the cloudy ale, a dry bitterness filling his mouth. "Everyone in Anpa's family didn't come back?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen anyone with the surname Anpa. They should all have died on the battlefield of the squid family." The owner said: "It was really scary, there were fires everywhere, and there were fangs and hellhounds. Killing, no one knows what they are doing, they just run in a random direction, all obstacles are stabbed with a sword, and it is not easy to find a way to survive. Hey, in fact, it is the same now, there are wars everywhere, good people Bad guys, bad guys and bad guys, even the good guys and the good guys started to fight. I heard that the road sucks, robbers, wild beasts, not only hordes of crows and lynx, but even rabbits started biting."

"Rabbit? The Ule family of Fanghelin?"

"It's them," the man said. "You came here from Heimland. You must be heading east. Now you can't get through. The Ull family has closed the border, and only those who put down their weapons can enter. But after entering. It’s hard to say, maybe it will be robbed. The two adults will definitely not put down their swords and let others be slaughtered, so if I were you, I would avoid the current path.”

"It's all scum," Siegel replied lightly. "Let them try."

"It's better to have fewer incidents." The pock-faced man sighed: "I am also a person who has fought in wars, and I survived the battlefield where Mr. Anpa was not spared, but I know why, or just four words, stay away. Trouble. These days, life is more important than anything else. Why use your neck to test the sharpness of a sword? Besides, Baron Tremond Uller is immortal and has a sword made of lightning."

Siegel knew this Rabbit Baron, one of the few Southern nobles who did not join the Union army. It is said that this man has a wide range of hobbies. But never sword riding. There are the best chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep on his territory, and the sweetest honey in the south is also a specialty of his territory. Janet once mentioned that this is a mysterious lord who rarely shows up, and has now actually become a farmer, and even her contractors are planting crops.

It's hard to imagine such a person robbing passing travelers. But if the border is really closed, they don't want to detour. A few ordinary levels can't stop the mage, and he has a way to pass.

However, Siegel was still very grateful for the reminder from the store owner, so he also gave his own advice: "Although many places are still fighting, I brought it from Heim and I know it is safe. There are no robbers in the squid lord's control area. All knights look like knights, why don't you go there?"

The man frowned, then shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether I can take my daughter there safely, what will I do with my life when I get there? It's autumn now, and winter is coming soon. What will I eat? There is new food at the end of summer, but at that time our father and daughter would have starved to death. Now there is an inn here, and we can still eat stewed beans without fear of the sun, wind and rain.”

"If it's as good as you said, why do you have to face us with a machete when we appear?"

The question silenced the scene, and even Moore put down his spoon and bread, waiting for the owner's answer.

"You're not mercenaries, right? Mercenaries are misers, and they won't take out gold coins to pay the bill." The man replied: "You're not nobles, after all, you don't even have a family badge. Bandits are not as good as you. equipment. And they are very poor at raising horses, and their mounts are not like yours. Tell me, who are you?"

From the wristband of his left hand, Siegel pulled out a silver medal bearing the holy symbol of the warrior god: a longsword and a longbow crossed before the shield. An ellipse is surrounded by arrows. The Brown family gave Siegel the gift in the hope that the two would share a common belief. Although it is very funny to make a mage believe in the **** of warriors, it is a custom of the Brown family after all, and Siegel still has to show respect.

Now that this holy emblem is useful, the shop owner said in surprise: "You really are Paladins!"

Moore felt very ashamed, and immediately lowered his head and continued to eat. Avoid others seeing his expression.

Siegel's smile made the man put his guard down, and he told the truth: "The day before yesterday, Dick Knight and his companions who lived in the castle came here to drink, and they just cleared a thief camp outside - at least they That's what it's been claimed - the fight was so intense that my mouth was dry. I've fought and know there's a beast in a man's heart, and it's unleashed when he tastes blood. Dick Knight stared at me with a disturbing look Look at my daughter, I guess he didn't have a good idea. Just yesterday, he sent someone to deliver a gold coin, saying that it was a deposit, so I must accept it. I asked what the deposit was, and the stable boy smiled. lol, it means that knight **** will come and propose to me tomorrow morning, if you want to escape, you can try to escape the four-legged hound and the four-legged horse. I can't help it, so when you came, I was down there sharpening my knives I didn't hear your horse's voice at that time, otherwise my daughter wouldn't show up."

"Actually, I won't tell you, are you going to leave here too?"

"Yes. I couldn't believe you just now, so it was a lie. The gods won't blame you."

"There is no blame, only self-blame." Siegel said: "As the paladin of the warrior god, if he can't bring safety and happiness to the weak, how can he be blessed in the kingdom of gods? My shield is exactly the same. To shield the good from the wind and rain.”

That's the benefit of a lot of reading, and can even say the pastor's prayer when necessary.

The man put his hands together and said excitedly, "Where should we go?"

"Don't go anywhere, go get me some meat and get a good night's sleep. We'll see what the **** knight really is in the morning."

The owner was very excited at first. He went to the cellar with his daughter to take out a large piece of horse meat and cooked it in a pot, but then he became worried again. Dick Knight still has many friends, can the two of them do it?

Although Siegel closed his eyes and rested on the side, he was not idle. He directed the raven to fly into the castle and began to investigate. It wasn't his style to wait for a Dick knight to come, and he didn't have so much time to delay. He cast an invisible spell, so no one could see the black body of the raven.

The castle smelled of rotting red wine mixed with food scraps. After the knights occupied the castle, they lived a luxurious life, holding banquets all day long, eating meat and drinking, and enjoying themselves. They seized their servants and forced them to reveal where the treasure was hidden. In the chaos, most people fled, and the rest who were forced to stay were unable to clean up the mess.

Without supervision, so-called knights quickly become robbers. Siegel saw the unbearable scenes in the castle through the eyes of the raven.

The knights were drunk in the hall. A pig was being turned over on the oven. It was slaughtered on the spot. . They held their wine glasses and shouted the names of the lords of the South, with the words "Fuck it" in front of them.

The raven stopped on the beam of the hall, watching everything coldly.

"You should wish me a happy wedding and give me ten gold coins each." A knight with a big waist stood up and spoke, waving his arms spilling out the ale in the cup.

"Ten gold coins, are you crazy?" Another "Knight" reclined on the chair, stretched out his big hairy feet, and said rudely, "I heard you spent one gold coin. , how dare you give us ten?"

Another burst out laughing: "You're a good deal! But is it too easy to try to make our money with that firewood girl?"

Dick Knight spit on the ground, took a swig of wine, and said, "There are still a few villages that have not been visited in this radius of 100 miles, but you can tell me. You are there every night. Happy, do you remember me? Ten gold coins are still cheaper for you!"

"Fuck you, you are a coward." A man wearing a black iron half helmet stepped forward, using the chicken leg in his hand as a dagger, waving it and saying, "What we said at the beginning, no matter what Well, don't move the people around the castle. Do you want everyone to join forces and drive us out? Where is the castle safe outside? You say we're having fun, that's because you're always at the back, coward! "

Dick snorted, didn't dare to refute, sat down angrily, and said unconvincingly, "Don't even think of lining up if you give me ten gold coins!"

They burst into laughter and a bearded man in a yellow cloak began to sing a mocking song, but Dick just gritted his teeth. He is determined to vent all the ridicule he has received on his "new wife", and it is best not to leave them any scum.

Siegel withdrew his vision and had a plan in his mind.

He gave Moore a wink, UU reading www.uukanshu. com then went back to the room by himself. The inn was completely empty, so he chose the largest one.

He needs a killer to complete his mission and kill those robbers. As a fighter, he is confident in his martial arts, but as a mage he has a better way.

A hybrid magic circle that combines elemental summoning and alien creature restraint was drawn in the center of the room, and many of the complex symbols showed cloud-like patterns. Siegel sprinkled silver dust on the floor and paid for it with a sapphire, and began to chant the incantation.

The sound of chanting incantations is so weak that it cannot even be heard next door, but it can reach other planes. It is a world of endless sky, all kinds of clouds intertwined with each other, and wind and lightning fill every corner. A whirling cloud of steam heard the call and responded. It was attracted by the blue gemstone, allowing it to be brought into the material world by spells.

Siegel looked at his summons with a smile, knowing that his plan would be fulfilled. (To be continued.)

PS: Guess what spell Siegel used? What monster was summoned? Don't think too much, it's in the core monster manual of the dnd3r rules.
