A couple of hunters haul in an eladrin wearing, unusually, camouflage rather than her kind's usual crimson red.  They have bound her hands and gagged her, but she stares at you with hate in her eyes.  "Found this one, we did," says one of the hunters.  "And get this: she was lookin' for us.  Knew we were here."

Your Visibility is getting dangerously high.

Put her to death

She has seen Adastra.  She's too dangerous to leave alive.

Blindfold her, disorient her, and release her

If she ever finds her way back to her people, hopefully she won't be able to say much of use.  Hopefully.

Keep her in prison

Provisioning a prisoner is something you'd rather not have to do, but at least it wouldn't be an act of war.

"Fights usually last under five seconds, so if you've listened to this whole sentence, you've already lost."

Aspic used to move in shady circles, and it shows.  His fighting style is dirty and practical, and that's how he teaches you to fight, too.  Amazingly, you keep up with him, and you leave with your head spinning -- and not only because it got boxed one too many times.

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Invite Bratha to write

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Get the whole town involved

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.

A straightforward challenge

Attack: A River-Demon!

A hideous man-sized demon has emerged from the River!  It took those on the shore by surprise, and there are a few light casualties.  Those remaining await your order to deploy.

Demons are magic, right?  Amos and his wizards would seem the most obvious lot to send against this demon.

You send Amos's squad and a few of the more reliable militiamen to ply their trade on the demon.  Magic missiles and a few more exotic projectiles buzz, hiss, and sing while the swordsmen occupy the demon's attention.  It's impossible to say who landed the last blow, but the demon ultimately expires without inflicting any further casualties.  Score one for magic!

The token swordsmen protecting the wizards are not prepared for the demon's tongue attack, which lashes them all to the ground at a stroke.  The demon advances on the wizards, who scatter instead of concentrating on their spells.  In the end you wind up sending the militia in anyway, and even then all they can do is drive the demon back to the River.  Amos may still have some work to do.  Once he's out of the infirmary, that is.

Detail orientation

Invite Bratha to write

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 21)

            1
            Unlocked with Food 1 - you have 21

Bratha's fluency in composing her message is mind-boggling; it's as though she's been planning it for weeks.  Her writing is precise -- not only does she know the exact number of days of rations Adastra has left, she can even lay out the vitamin deficiencies likely to be faced by the settlement if new food sources are not found.  Seth could hardly ask for more detail, though you suppose he might ask for more warmth.

You now have 1 x Favor: Bratha.

Dagger dodging

It happens again: you're walking through the Tomb when you hear footsteps behind you.  By now you know those footsteps well.

Fortunately, you and your bodyguard have already devised a plan.  You're to duck down and around your assailant, forcing them to spin around so that your bodyguard can see their face.  You have only moments.

All together, now!

Deploy the militia

A chancy challenge

Everyone who can hold a weapon pitches in to defend Adastra.  With so many targets rotating in and out of range, the demon can't stay on anyone long enough to inflict more than superficial wounds, while the militia surrounds and gradually eliminates the invader.  The militia is stronger for having been put to the test, and afterwards the town throws a party.  You'd think they were glad a demon attacked!

 About all I can tell you is that I've never seen clothes like those before."  He shares what he saw, and you take mental notes.  Once you have enough information, you're determined to find someone who can help make sense of it.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Share the message with everyone

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Write an entry yourself

You wouldn't mind the opportunity to reflect on recent events.

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

Get the whole town involved

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.


"at wich tim i felld a larj bor"

A little surprisingly, Rhody is literate, though her spelling and punctuation are atrocious.

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Invite Bratha to write

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

Invite Amos to write

You understand that Amos met Seth only for long enough to relearn magic from him.  But technically, doesn't that make Seth the founder of his tradition?

Get the whole town involved

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.

Attack: A River-Demon!

A hideous man-sized demon has emerged from the River!  It took those on the shore by surprise, and there are a few light casualties.  Those remaining await your order to deploy.

Deploy the militia

A high-risk challenge

This seems like a great opportunity to put Adastra's militia to the test.  Just pretend it's an angel, everyone...

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 18)

            1
            Unlocked with Food 1 - you have 18

Fight the creature yourself

A modest challenge

With the militia behind you, of course.  You're not a fool.  But if you can strike a few good blows, it should be great for morale.

Deploy the hedge mages

Amos's Level

A wizard relearning his craft.

A chancy challenge

Demons are magic, right?  Amos and his wizards would seem the most obvious lot to send against this demon.

            1
            You need Amos's Level 1 (you have 2)

            0
            You need Amos Is Wounded 0 and Amos Is Wounded no more than 0 (you have 1)

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 18)

            1
            Unlocked with Amos's Level 1 - you have 2

            0
            Unlocked with Amos Is Wounded 0 - you have 1

            1
            Unlocked with Food 1 - you have 18


Target-rich environment

Deploy the militia

A very chancy challenge

The demon goes into a frenzy at the sight of so many warm bodies rushing to meet it in battle, and a pair of fighters are unconscious before anyone lands a hit.  The conclusion is foregone -- there are too many Adastrans for the demon to win -- but the battle is grueling and costly.  In the end, all the town can do is force the demon into retreat.  At least they know what mistakes not to make again.

Adastra's Might 2 failed in a challenge! Try again and you may have better luck...
