Hello good sirs and fair ladies, cut the ropes, cry for battle because the Local Lord is back in his keep. Let us rejoice and prepare a feast while servants take care of his horse.
Let us continue this, good sirs, let us continue with joy, but first let us remember where we left. Yes, we left after a young lady, who appeared to be a trained killer, tried to poison you ! What a shame ! After arresting her and interrogating her with the help of a rat (not your brave servant Ancel, he might look like one but he brought a true rat to help him) she told that she was paid and formed by the vile Lord Creepy Bitchson, an upjumped commoner who was given lands by your liege lord and ennemy, the baron Crook Wickedson to form murderers ! This is what happens when good feudal law is forgotten and commoners are given responsibilities beyond trying to not put a barn on fire.
You were about to execute the lady when she claimed that she was forced to serve lord Creepy because he "owns her soul" by some foul magic, despite laughing at such peasants superstitions (How could a person without a soul be simply alive ?) but your councillors convinced you that it was possible. You then decided to see if she was telling the truth with a trial by fire. But your councillors suggested other methods and you decided to try them both. Let us see if they work as well.

If you have questions do not hesitate to ask good sirs, I hope the continuation of our adventure will be as enjoyable as it's beginnings.

As per tradition, and tradition is everything in our right and proper feudal society, we will begin with a short prologue, this time we will follow the perfidious witches and guildsmen of the mage's guild of Pleasantville who dared to imprison us and who now have to deal with our escape and that we were found innocent by the Count.
