The team met five goblins on the way back to Cece’s. They managed to catch up and kill three of them, but lost the other two. After killing the three on the street, Milda was shot by arrows from a rooftop. Bill and Regulus entered the building, made their way to the roof, and killed the two goblin snipers, hurling them to the street below.
Starflower and Bill were feeling too tired to attack Antigonus, so the team decided to make their way back to Cece’s and get some sleep.
Early the next morning, Kilmah the astronomer knocked on the door. They invited him in, and were able to explain the gospel to him. After he accepted the great rescue, there was loud shouting heard outside. Cenbald and Philip peeked out the window and saw that they were surrounded by dragon soldiers, and Lexcom the Sorcerer was with them! Philip and Shaundra led the teams in prayer. Milda’s battle prayer managed to put all the dragon soldiers to sleep.
They left the masonry, pausing to check out Lexcom. He had a staff with some prongs on the top in an odd pattern. He also had a dagger and some pouches with various powders and substances. They decided to leave him alone, and hurried off to Gerey’s safe house with their horses, while Shaundra’s team left with Cece and Kilmah to head to Hawold. The team spoke with Gerey briefly, telling him about all that had happened. He advised them to finish dealing with Antigonus and to leave town quickly.
The team encountered a drunk beggar. Philip brought him to a shop to buy some breakfast for him.
The team gave Bill the Bear an invisibility pill and a silence pill. They then set out for the Exalted Stables. Bill managed to sneak past the guard. The square was quiet. They sent Cyna the badger into the stables, with Milda using her new Converse with Animals ability to explain the plan to Cyna. Cyna got in, and managed to make her way to the door and open it from the inside. They opened the door, and Bill slipped in. Bill explored and found Antigonus’ chamber almost right away. The golden calf looked up, as if smelling Bill, and tried to speak to him. Bill charged right away, and killed the golden calf without much of a fight. Bill then slipped back out and the team quietly made their way out of the square.
They made their way to the West Gate, supervised by Sir Gifue, who seemed fixated on clothing. Sir Gifue advised them to keep their boots polished and their capes clean. The team thanked him politely, and continued on their way.
The team encountered a person walking along the road. They struck up some conversation with him, and learned he was wanting to visit the guru by the river. Regulus suspected it might be the Selfoe they had met a few days ago, who was now attracting followers. The team prayed about the situation, but felt they should continue with their quest.
They came to a bridge to cross the river. Farmers were grumbling about a Water Troll who was taking tolls for them to cross the bridge. Sure enough, a water troll was blocking their way. They waited until there was no one else around, then attacked the water troll, primarily with Philip and invisible Bill. Philip was injured, and backed off, pulling out his long bow, just as Bill crippled the water troll with a critical hit, preventing it from chasing them. Philip used an arrow, and along with Bill and some slings from the others, the water troll was defeated. Cenbald and Philip took the troll’s claws as souvenirs. They found his money box, and spotted a cave under the bridge. As they were debating what to do with the money, and whether or not they might get the money love enchantment from taking the money, a woman came to the bridge. She seemed surprised that the troll was gone. Cenbald showed her the claws, and announced they had defeated the water troll. The woman was thrilled and asked if they could deal with the Water Troll problem at the lake, just to the south of them. The team prayed about it, and felt that the Overlord agreed that this was within His Will. They offered the troll’s money to the woman, who gladly accepted.
A unicorn appeared among their horses, and offered them congratulations and rewards for their good work in Othrond.
