Fight the creature yourself

A very chancy 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.

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.

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 10)

            1
            Unlocked with Food 1 - you have 10

Pride goeth before getting beaten down by a river-demon

You lead the charge, leaping heroically at the demon, and... that's about all you remember.  Later, in the infirmary, you learn from a sympathetic Aspic that the demon walloped you to the ground with its tongue, of all things, and you landed badly.  Still, the militia evidently forced the demon to retreat, and when you return to your duties you think you see a few citizens looking at you with a certain respect.

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.

Your predecessor, Lord Hristol, was overthrown after it was discovered that he colluded with foreign powers.  To the best of your knowledge, you were the first democratically elected mayor in Abanasinia.  Why did the people choose you?

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.

Everyone likes parties.  No one with a full stomach is likely to get up in arms about Seth's absence.

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.

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?

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.

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.

A chancy challenge

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.

Still, the militia evidently forced the demon to retreat, and when you return to your duties you think you see a few citizens looking at you with a certain respect.
