Some changes have been made to the combat system. You don't really need to read them to be able to participate in the quest, but here's a summary:

Most hostile spells now have a "saving throw" related to a primary attribute that negates or reduces the spell effect.
Standard Attack now has a +10% chance to hit
Power Attack and Flurry Attack: hit chance penalty removed; both attacks are less powerful; the associated feats now make the attacks more powerful instead of

reducing the hit chance penalty
New combat option: Jab - low damage high accuracy attack
New combat option: Defend - increase armour class
New combat option: Aim - increase accuracy with ranged weapon

Last night you and your party decided your next order of business is to travel to the town of Oakheart. Everyone is ready to depart and waiting by the fountain outside the inn.

(Kinda, the orcs are on the agenda but you're going the to Oakheart to get better spells/equipment and see if you can gather more support against the green menace)

>Onwards, compatriots! For king and country

Ulric: "Tally ho!"

You head off on your way to Oakheart, following the long road. For the first hour the trip is uneventful but eventually you meet a throng of vagrants.
They quickly start to crowd around you.
"Spare some talons mi'lord?"
"Alms for the poor?"
"Got any items you don't need?"
"Can I have that?"

Also ask what's up with that suspiciously shady looking character in the back.

Salaman: "I sense he is a magic user"

>Dispel Magic (Abjuration III) 150 Talons
>You have 78 Talons Remaining

Salaman: "Good choice, Dispel Magic is an excellent spell"

You quickly read the spell scroll, the letters disappear from the scroll as you read it and a personalized formula for Dispel Magic appears in your spell book.

>"Do you know anything about the wish granter?"

"Yes, it's in Malgrave Castle"

Alina: "What? You're seriously saying you know where a wish granter is?"

"My mentors said so, they rarely make such statements without confidence."

You find he is unable to share any further information on the subject and unwilling to talk about his "mentors"

You thank him for the information and leave.

Later, as you contemplate this new information. Alina walks up to you.

Alina: "So what now? Are we going to go to this Malgrave place next?"

Also, he said it. He said the spell granter was an it.

>>2207678

No rush to seek the wish granter, we also should not pass directly through any place called the swamp of death.

>>2207705
>"My old mentor Cassia Moriarty told me that the Aflor royal family of old owned multiple wish granters of varying powers. She said the best wish granter lies in the palace in the deadly undead-infested city of Tywardreath"
>Cassia Moriarty lives in Grath Mire, more commonly known as the Swamp Of Death due to its populations of Hydra, flesh eating mutants, and loony demon cultists. Grath has really high quality potion ingredients, including the body parts of dead hydra.

We should head there eventually, but probably when we're stronger and not almost solo'd by an orc.

>"Let's just get to Oakheart first. I need to think about this"
Alina: "I guess you're right, no need to rush things"
>"Kalim said the wish granter was an it..."
Alina: "What do you mean? That robes guy implied there's only one but that crone said there are multiple wish granters? It's possible one of multiple wish granters exist in that castle. Or maybe the witch was just wrong"

Later on...

Ulric: "Hey Christof, so I was wondering, are there many orcs in Ukraine?"

>"Its UTHAIN Ulric, UTHAIN"

Ulric: "huh, not even goblins. That's so weird. They're everywhere"

The journey continues as you encounter non-descript travelers and make small talk with your party.
Upon a heath you spot Oakheart and can quickly guess how the town got its name. A monolithic oak tree towers over the town.
Alina: "I heard Oakheart had a giant tree but this is really something else. I can't believe I didn't leave Appleby for most of my life."

The roots of the giant tree form a public park, lots of peasants are hanging around the area. Several important buildings are located around the tree, including the temple and town garrison.

Your group agrees and Salaman and Alina walk off.

Ulric: "Are you going to the fighting arena too? I didn't know they were even allowed"
>"Yes, I was actually thinking of fighting there"
Ulric: "Ooooh okay, let's go"

You go descend into the area. The place seems to have a dungeon motif. A man spots you coming in and bustles up to you.

"Well well, two men walking in to the arena fully armed and armoured. Could it be you're looking to fight in the arena? Because if you are I'm your guy. I've been looking for new fighters"

>"In most places gladiator combat is illegal, why is it allowed here?
"Combat tournaments have always been an important part of Oakheart's culture. The Great Oak's healing waves make it difficult to accidentally kill someone making it much safer than normal. The people have been very adamant about keeping this historical sport alive."

>"So the fights here aren't to the death?"
"Not anymore, combat arenas are still legal but death matches are not."

>"What's the pay?"
"I'm assuming you don't want a contract so you'll be paid on a fight by fight basis, the amount you earn will depend on who you're fighting and whether you win. I've got an opening with your name on it that gives 100 Talons to the winner!"

>"If I fight can I use my own equipment or do I get equipment from the arena?"
"You get your own weapons and combat tools, but you wear the armour we tell you to wear, don't worry, it will always be the same grade as your opponents armour"

>"How many fighters can be on a team? We've got two others joining us later."
"Sorry but we're not doing group battles this season. All your friends can apply but you wont be on a team"

Also add that as the coliseum master said, there's zero chances of anyone ending injured, and this would make for a great chance to train and test his skills with other warriors. That and to fight REAL EVIL they need money

He surprises you with a flurry, you block the first but the second catches you for 3 damage

You jab him for 3 hitpoins
He jabs back for 1 damage

You flurry but he retreats while parrying you blows
"Your bumlbing blows are no match for the impenetrable chitin on THE BLACK BEETLE"
He jabs you for a pathetic 1 damage

"HAMMER CARNAGE SMASH BEETLE"
You smash him with the hammer and an audible CLANG resonates through the arena the crowd starts to get riled up. The Beetle takes 14 damage
He tries to hit back but you easily avoid it

You flurry him, he deflects the first light blow but the second catches him for 7 damage
"This fight isn't over yet!"
He attacks but his sword is blocked by your spiky pauldron

"PUNY SWORD NO MATCH FOR HAMMER CARNAGE"
You power attack once again, he defends against it better this time (you feel like he's a bit of a beginner) but he was clearly on his last legs and the 9 damage makes him drop to the ground.

The crowd starts clapping cheering as Beetle hits the floor
"LADIES AND GENTS! THE BLACK BEETLE IS DOWN! HE WONT BE BUGGING HAMMER CARNAGE ANYMORE! SOMEBODY GET HIM OUT OF THERE BEFORE CARNAGE TURNS HIM INTO MINCEMEAT"

You wait for Alina and Salaman to show up at the roots of the Great Oak. They arrive after a whole hour of waiting. The people have mostly gone home but there are some guards patrolling around. Many establishments have closed.

Ulric: "Hey guys, what have you been doing? We went to the Arena and Christof defeated a beetle"
Alina: "Salaman took me to a nice restaurant we had a great time, didn't we Sally?"
Salaman: "Alina ordered the most expensive thing on the menu and didn't even finish half of it..."

You find a nice tavern and rent 4 beds.
The tavern keeper gives you a warning:
"Be sure to stay inside at night, there have been some pretty brazen kidnapping over the last few weeks, a huge amount of people have gone missing"
You try to press him for more details but he tells you to ask a guard.

You're sitting on your bed, you probably have enough time to talk to someone before bed.

Don't want to interrogate the guy though.

>"Keep 'em coming barkeep"
"You're the boss"

>"Have you heard the news about Clarcton?"
"Yeah, poor folks got wiped out by the orcs, tragic really"
>"Actually Clarcton wasn't sacked, it was occupied by the orcs"
"That's good! uh, sort of. At least many of the people will still be alive"

>"How do you know the missing people were kidnapped?"
"The kidnappers have been spotted multiple times. They've even engaged the guards a few times while escaping, unfortunately it's hard to take them down thanks to the tree's healing aura. Also makes it easy for them to brutalize people and still capture them alive"

>"What do you know about the wish granter?"
"Oh it's real, if that's what you're wondering, but I think it's dangerous. I think it sort of takes a path of least resistance when granting wishes and 100 years ago someone wished for some sort of army and the wish granter found the easiest way to accomplish this was to turn all the corpses in Tywardreath into undead. The undead were out of control, or somehow fell out of control and the rest is history..."
>"Well, that's better than the wish granter being inherently malicious"

>"Hey, do you know anything about a gladiator named "Bingle"?"
"I've been going to the Arena since I was a little boy, his portrait has been in the hall of fame as long as I can remember but I've never seen 'Bingle' fight. I guess he's retired now. The hall of fame portraits don't come down until the fighter dies.

You decide to walk to the temple first.

The priestess on call is lounging around but quickly gets up on her feet when she realizes you're there.
"Oh, pardon me sir. We don't normally get visitors outside of sermons since the Great Oak usually does our job for us. Is there anything the temple can help you with?"

>"Wow the tree makes you pretty much useless huh?"

"Of course right this way sir, here he is. Lord Edis with his big ol' shield"

>"Who is your patron deity?"
"Epohr, God Of Shadows. His guidance made me a hide and go seek champion when I was little"

>"Do you know anything about the kidnappers?"
"They're humans, they got iron armour and they all enter the town invisible, they lose their invisibility when they attack and seem to be unable to turn invisible again on their way out"

>"Got any work for a team of adventurers?
"Huh? You could give me a massage and do my laundry for 10 Talons"
Alina: "Haha, what!?"
Salaman: "I'm not doing either of those things"

>"I was thinking more like, is there a monster you want us to assasinate or a friend you want us to escort through monster infested territory, you know, adventurer stuff"
>"Well, I mean, 10 Talons is 10 Talons..."
>"Deal! Ulric; go fetch the ladies laundry. Salaman and Alina: take 5"

Priests not tending to a shrine is a big nono and kinda sucpisius especially in fantasy where the gods interact with mortals

>>2211494
I guess the garrison makes things really safe around here? Anyways, we can know when the kidnappings happen with an alarm spell or something. Maybe we can coordinate with the guards at the garrison.

>>2211494
Sorry, that's not the type of work we're looking for.

Pray to Edis for a sign on how our quest should proceed.
