Chapter 17x:
We made our way to Port Badon, in hopes of trying to find a ship that'd take us to Valor. Unfortunately, being known as the Dread Isle, no one was willing to take us. Much to Lyn's chagrin, one person suggested that pirates might be willing, and that we should go to the local bar to find them. A captain named Fargus was indeed willing...at the insane price of 100,000 gold. Hector suggested that perhaps he could go back to Ostia and sell some of his noble items, and use that money to wager in the arena to win the gold. As a side note, I notice that Hector seems to be doing all of the talking in this adventure, despite it being about Eliwood. Perhaps it's just another way of him supporting his ailing friend. A messenger came up to us later, telling us that if we fought through his troops, he'd let us ride on his ship.
We began to make our way around the town walls to get to the port. Along the way, a scholar named Canas asked if he could tag along, as he also hopes to go to Valor. Our group could always use a librarian to manage the history and magic tomes, so we agreed.
As we reached the alleyway, we heard some hooves beating in the distance. Apparently there were even more people trying to kill us...WAIT WHY ARE THEY CHASING US?! Why couldn't they be nice and wait around by the port? Jeez...well at least their leader, Damien
, doesn't have a Killing Edge. I had Hector and Oswin Make a u-turn to protect the rear, while Kent
and Lucius
led the others through the alley.
Hector took out Damien in a quick fashion. I don't think I see him getting stronger anytime soon now
, so hopefully he'll get a bit of a break in the fighting. Meanwhile, we made it through the alley and were attacked by the formation near the port. Fargus called me a mooncalf too, whatever that means.
I was hoping to get some shopping done, but Kent got hit pretty hard by a mage, and I didn't risk him getting hurt. Since the only way into the shop was by having Kent fight for awhile longer, I decided to call off the shopping trip and talk to Fargus.
With that, Fargus has agreed to take us to Valor. It'll take us awhile to get ready for the trip, so I think I'm going to take the time to go back to that pub, and get a drink...or two. I definitely need to unwind.
