Loot Gathered: 50,000 gold pieces, all donated to the Covian coffers.
Having recently been recalled from my well-deserved retirement and tasked with restoring discipline, I saw fit this evening to call together members of the night-watch for a surprise refresher course. I ran the troops who responded to the call to arms through a number of minor exercises, quizzed them on the basics, and drilled them on such vitally important practices as:
- Standing in the correct order when we line up.
- How to sound off properly when ordered to do so.
- What a parade arm looks like, and when to have it out.
As this exercise was wrapping up, a small contingent of Yewish militiamen arrived at the barracks, claiming to be on a diplomatic mission. As we were planning to go for a walk anyway, I invited them to accompany us, and we set out on a march through the northern portion of Ilshenar. Starting at the Shrine of Compassion, we marched north to the Pass of Karnaugh, where we slaughtered dozens of liches, zombies, dread spiders, and the like. Finding no real challenge to be had in that once-dreaded ruin, we continued our expedition into the lands beyond the pass. There we encountered cyclopses and titans, who likewise scattered before us. Still, we were unchallenged, and still we pressed on.
At long last, we came to a crater near the Shrine of Valor, where swarms of imps and mongbats darkened the sky, parting only to permit the occasional dragon to swoop down upon us. These, too, were vanquished. Only the largest of the dragons withstood our onslaught, but in the end even these were isolated and cut down. We took the scales of two greater dragons before returning home to divide the spoils.
