The Empire is dying. Over 600 years of dominance over half of Lumea slowly coming to an end. The Empire of The Golden Rose has overextended itself, civil unrest and revolts close to the heartland have stifled imperial reach to the marches and barbarians raid and pillage almost unhindered. Bloated Aristocracy and corrupt Bureaucrats have made reforms almost impossible and central government is non existent because of a young, weak emperor. Emperor Alphonsus II inherited the throne three years ago, after the untimely death of his father. His father had suffered a wound and contracted an infection on the front, but he continued back to the capital after his doctors treated him and diagnosed him healthy enough. It flared up when he got back and he died two days later. Alphonsus II was only 15 at the time and inexperienced, totally not ready to lead the empire through the crisis. It's been three years since and things have only gotten worse. Alphonsus II rule is dominated by councilors and court officials who line their own pockets and effectively rule the country, Alphonsus II himself shielded from outside news and not fully aware of the dire straits his empire is going through.To make matters worse, he is not married, adding fuel to the talk that he is not fit to rule. Many of the Provinces and Kingdoms operate effectively autonomously, the Imperial armies loyal to their generals and divided, unable to reliably support the Emperor's vassals. The condition of the Empire has reach the ears of the eastern barbarians and typically divided tribes and clans have united into warbands that raid deep into imperial territory, past the marches and even into coastal core imperial lands. To the far east, there are talks of rival empires in the making, eager to tame the savage wildlands and lead the barbarians in dismantling the Empire.

This is a Herobuilder with Nationbuilding elements. You may play as a commoner, a barbarian, a noble, even a member of the Imperial family. You may not play as a full blooded Elf, but you may play as a half elf, pm me if you intend to, however. Playable races are Humans, Orcs(Known for their denser muscle mass on average, lesser intelligence on average, sharper teeth with pronounced, tusk like lower canines, pointer ears, larger heads, and dusky olive skin tone), and Half Elves. Orcs typically have Finngolish and Germanic culture, but they are spread throughout Lumea and don't carry much stigma besides typically being barbarians.
The Empire was ruled by the original dynasty for 400 years and things were getting a bit rough near the end, so a house of Italian origin, known as the Orseolo's, that had married a daughter of the original dynasty usurped the throne. They ruled for almost 40 years and they failed spectacularly, so another house of Visigothic/Spanish origin that had married a daughter of the original house as well usurped the throne. They still rule now and their house is known as the Dorosii. The original dynasty is known as the House of Caelusii.

Name: Otto
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Race: Half-elf
Culture: Finnish
Fluff: Otto lived in a small village with his parents and siblings, as he grew older however, he found his growth stunted where even his younger siblings looked more mature then him. Of course, due to his strength he was able to silence the jeers directed towards him from other children, but it still did not answer why he was different. When he went to his mother he found out that he was found on their doorstep and they had adopted him as their child, but despite this revelation it still did not explain who he was. Eventually this led him to take an interest in the outside world. Reasoning that if he could not find out the truth in his static village, he believed that traveling to the Khanate of The Wusun would reveal something as it was the only place he truly knew of, but it still being far away. Managing the make it to the capital without incident, Otto was able to join the khan's army and had learned their ways. Eventually his great skill and strength gained him a place of honor and was accepted as one of their own and was adopted into one of the prominent families in the khanate, but even after such success Otto never felt content with his station and soon left west, any pretense of trying to find out about his heritage gone. During his travel west he had joined a group of adventurers and ended up spending several years traveling around the empire exploring ancient ruins, chartering lands, claiming bounties, and hunting monsters. It ended when Otto's group had taken an assignment to clear out a drake den and when they confronted the monster all his companions ended up torn apart or burned alive. By the end of it Otto was the sole survivor and was able to claim the wealth of his companions, the drake's den, and the drake itself which amounted a small fortune. Always ambitious, Otto used this fortune to outfit a mercenary group called the Reaping Dragons and hired himself out to one of the most influential of the emperor's councilors. Now he consorts with the most powerful people in the world and has the experience, wealth, and influence needed to attain real power.

Name:Sir Lambrett Krämer
Sex:Male
Age:43
Race:Human
Culture: Germanic
Fluff:Sir Lambrett Krämer was the son of a minor noble, and grew up as a squire to a Knight of the Temple. An aged veteran of many wars and many battles, he proved his skill exceptionally when it came to organization and logistics, managing supply trains, food and water rations, siege defense, and maintenance of the various forts and castles. Having served for many decades, he has since taken a less combat role within the Order as most knights of advanced age do.
Of recent he has become something of a Merchant, as the skill of finances and wealth management is encouraged by the Order of the Temple which invests in its own bank. Investing in several different businesses he accumulated sizable sum of wealth and influence, not merely for himself but for the Order,
To help protect these finances, he joined up with a secret group of individuals within the Order, known as the Stonemasons of the Temple. These men of intellect, bankers, merchants, scholars, mages, engineers, guildmasters, and government officials gather together to protect their collective interests. Many of them are not just Lumeans, but merchants from across the continent with businesses in Sarir, Tigran, Taurica, and even the Core.
Krämer has become disillusioned with the Imperial system, which reliant on one man is vulnerable to the weakness of that man. He see's how the organizations not based on a single man but on the mutual pursuits of wealth and prosperty are strong. But, just as if a single stone in a temple is cracked, it is removed and replaced and the structure stands. If a man is weak, or if there is a source of loss, a Guild cuts its losses, and profit and prosperity for all become driving force.
Krämer seeks to work his influence through the Order and in the Stonemasons to unite the world not behind any single Empire or King, but under a continental corporation of sorts, dedicated to prosperity among all men, whose allegiance is not to any single hereditary leader but to a an ideal.

Born to a father he never knew and a whore it is safe to say that Bryn is not a man of noble heritage. Before a wandering knight happened to make a stop at their tavern, Bryn spent his life cleaning and cooking for their guests, while his mother took them upstairs to serve them in other ways. She would tell him that he was the son of a great hero and that he was born with heros blood. This caused the young boy to believe that he was destined for greatness.
Bryn did not want to spend his entire life within the tavern, however he also did not want to leave his mother. But when the wandering knight came he saw something in the boy, and his mother urged him to go with him. And so Bryn said farewell to his old life, to become the squire of this wandering knight. The two of them traveled the empire, and along the way the knight not only trained Bryn how to fight. He also trained him in how a knight should act, what it meant to be a knight.
Now a knight himself Bryn sets out alone on his own adventure, he hopes to one day be the greatest knight in the empire.

Otto of The Reaping Dragons, a name both feared and respected amongst the Pyreneesii, especially since your benefactor and contract holder is the Emperor's Spymaster, Varfolomey Imperiose. His dynasty started only 80 years ago when his merchant father bought a marriage contract with the last dynast of a failing house. His wife's last estates were in the capital, so he made up a name related to the city as his house and got to work establishing himself. His skills were very impressive, becoming the Emperor's Finance Magister and keeping the Empire afloat for awhile. He soon fell to greed and started stealing money and keeping estates for himself, becoming a key player in the Capital. Varfolomey became Spymaster right before his father died of natural causes, and he was even more corrupt and expanded his control over the capital. Nothing goes on within the capital without his knowing, and nobody crosses him and gets away with it. A small noble house of several generation have been making moves in the capital and the Spymaster wants to send them a message. They have an estate just outside the capital territory and he wants you to raid and pillage it, making sure nobody escapes and finds out it was linked to him. You are currently at an abandoned fort just north of the Capital City, the structure no longer deemed strategical. You have 60 Finngol Horse Archers, 40 Light Cavalry, and 50 Light Infantry

Being stationed at the Castle of Saint Aleksandra is tough, especially if you're Knight Commander-in-charge. You've always been a scrapper though, living day by day, not knowing if that day will be your last, and you thrive in your position. At the age of 15, you were already an officer when the major port city of Doros Regio came under siege by barbarian raiders. Your actions during the siege were exemplary, saving the Patriarch and Cathedral, as well as then rallying the soldiers and keeping the city fighting for another few days, enough for reinforcements to come and rout the barbarians. Not only were you lauded as a hero, you were awarded the title "The Hammer" by the Taurican Prince of Princes, as well as an imperial title of nobility. The Lumean Orthodox Pope named you "Defender of The Faith", which is required to be promoted to Knight Commander and is why you were put in command of Saint Aleksandra. Under your command, not a single raiding party has made it past the narrowed bit of Rasha Inferior which your castle guards, even leading your army north to relieve pressure in the March a few times. All has been quiet in your area for a month now and your intuition is triggering like crazy. Perhaps you should send a scouting force east to investigate?
You command 3000 Light Infantry, 1000 Heavy Infantry, 500 Archers, 200 Crossbowmen, 300 Light Cavalry, 5 Trebuchet and accompanied engineers. You also have 50 Heavy Mounted Knights in your personal Retinue.

Your family moved from Taurica to Kassak several hundred years ago under incentives from the Emperor to uplift the economy there and also as a form of safeguard for the Barbarians that were recently settled there at the time. Though your family hasn't become a great house, you have progressively increased your power there and rule a decent sized city near the Bastionian border that stands along the Imperial Road. Your family's southern Magic styles synchronized perfectly with the northern schools, culminating in your library full of magical theory and recorded experiments. Several of your ancestors practiced Magic and collaborated with each other, creating a discipline that's basically a school of its own which you have put to great use. You are the greatest Magician of your family, your grandmother living to 100 and you seem to have half a century left, at least. Your family tends to have longer lives, your Magic technique influencing a form of eugenics, as well as just using the Blood Magic itself. Currently, your nephew is head of the family and lord, having inherited 10 years ago. He's 46 and already has several children, his only daughter seeming to have a high magical potential, her sensitivity emerging at a young age. You've decided recently to find a bride for your Emperor, in an attempt to increase your family's standing and bring some stability to the Empire. The only question now is, where do you go first? The Emperor's family is from Taurica, so you could go back to the land of your forebears and find a bride from there. You could also head for the capital and find out the situation with the Emperor and potentially what he likes before deciding where to look. You could also groom your grand-niece a bit and try to offer her, she is of age, after all. She is fetching and well-mannered, and you have been teaching her some magic throughout the years, surely she would be a suitable bride?

The chaos within The Empire has increased since the rise of the new Emperor and this has both positive and negative consequences. A noble of loose relations to your order has purchased several properties within the capital region and you've just received word that the Spymaster plans to bully him into selling. Some of your fellows have maneuvered themselves into buying these lands without suspicion from the Spymaster, but there's been a hiccup. The Spymaster plans to hire some mercs to pillage his largest property, the one he had been staying at before your order tipped him of the attack; the one he left all his documented dealings with your order in when he left in a hurry. Your primary holdings where you rest are the closest to his and so it falls on you to decide what to do. You could rustle up some men to defend the holding, but they'd have to hurry and might be of lesser quality and tired by the time they get there. You could hire a rider to get there quick, but he might be followed or captured. You must make sure the Spymaster doesn't catch whiff of your schemes or he'll surely crack down. You have 100 Light Infantry, 50 Heavy Infantry, 50 Crossbowmen, 5 Sappers

The last of a dynasty, similar to the Trolls who made you such, and intolerant towards them as they are towards you. Your family had benefited from the fertile lands of your ancestral home since before The Empire began, when the land was still divided into petty kingdoms, but that all came crumbling down. The dire straits of The Empire has affected all its citizens and when your family failed to pay tribute to the Trolls, they showed no mercy, desolating your home and people. On that day, you vowed revenge, swearing not to rest until all Trolls know the pain that you've felt and have been wiped off the face of Lumea. You've decided to start with the Trolls that killed your family and so you've traveled south to the medium sized Coastal City of Generosità, in hopes of… you're not sure yet. You could use the last of your wealth to hire an Adventuring Party, with the promise of more treasure from the Trolls stash, or, you could buy magic items and simply try and catch them off guard, though you know that will be rather difficult given their nature.

Siegfried was not born to be a Hero. Despite what his Mother told him, it was Fate that drove the Knight to Siegfried and made him what he is today. His upbringing would lead you to believe that his character would be lacking, but his Mother's great love for him made him Humble, and this helped him become a Good Knight. Your Mentor brought you to his Tower Fort in the North West part of Rasha Superior and trained you there for many years, his position on the Imperial Roads allowing you experience in real combat against Bandits and other threats, mundane and fantastical alike. By 17, you had shed more blood than most people alive and it's because of this that your Mentor granted you Knighthood early. He left you his old equipment his Mentor gave him when he graduated and sent you on your way, unfortunately, it was raining. It seems you're at a cross roads now. You could go north and charter a ferry to take you to the Capital Region of Bastion, where your mothers works in a small port town, or you could venture out to make a name for yourself.

The Persians' excellence in mounted combat, and their similar tactics, allowed your family to maintain dominance over their region of the March. This dominance and affinity with cavalry also gave your family an edge over the other nobles and your lands thrived from friendly barbarians looking to settle your lands and live in peace. One of these families practiced an ancient form of Necromancy and during a routine patrol through your Family's lands, you came upon them. You found them raising their ancestors to help work their fields and you were so fascinated by how reverent they were towards them that you immediately asked if they could teach you. Being their liege-lord's son, they agreed readily and taught you what they knew. You used this skill to great effect during your campaigns in the Imperial Army, even fighting in the last battle with the previous Emperor. Now, the Emperor is dead, and his whelp son hides in his Gilded Cage while his councilors drain the country dry of all its wealth before it all comes crumbling down. Times like these is when a man can make something of himself. What kind of man will you become?

3. A hero should always keep up his training, they say I am a fine knight for my age but I shall grow only stronger. My determination must not falter, I shall train until my body requires me to stop.

2. The Estate is mostly isolated and self contained with a few farms in its vicinity, making it ideal for our cavalry to ride through. With the scum and light infantry leading the frontal attack the light cavalry will be leading a purge of the peasants living in the vicinity.
3. While the Finngol horse archers may provide some support their primary job is to ensure that none escape or interfere with the attack. In the event of a counter-attack they shall use the terrain to their advantage and I will start rallying the other groups to prepare a defense.

1. It was time for Esmeralda to learn how to appropriately use the Dagger she carried. While her knowledge of anatomy was considerable, so would her skills with the blade be.
2. Esmeralda would petition her nephew to allow her to educate this promising young grand niece of hers. As a girl with great magic potential she would surely prove a formidable student and a worthy bride, if not a worthy ruler once she inherited her father's holdings.
3. Finally the Kassakan Witch would venture into the forest to continue her habit of hunting. Killing god's little creatures brought her joy in life and also provided her with opportunities to practice her blood magic. If able to she would take her grand niece along, the girl could learn a thing or two.

A wandering priest took pity on him and put him in the St. Godric Orphanage, where he studied under the Lumean Orthodox Church.

1. It has indeed been too quiet around here, so I shall do as my intuition suggests and send a small scouting party to the treacherous eastern lands.
2. While the force is out we should continue to prepare ourselves. Go out and get a lay of the land around us, look for chokepoints, ideal invasion points, and the like. Perhaps we can set up some traps and ambushes if we're running ahead of schedule, and do not forget to pray for the Lord's blessing to grant us the strength to defend His people from harm…
3. I should do my part personally as well to help out by ensuring that I remain fit and in peak performance for the battles ahead, meaning plenty of spars, sprinting, lifting and perhaps even some archery are in the near future, all part of a well-rounded training program to keep me prepared for anything.

1; The nearest settlement is a town not far to the south under protection of your mentor, along the Imperial Road. It only took about 20 minutes by Horse before you come upon your destination. The Town, named Omenan kaupunki for the unique strain of apples that grow in the region, is of modest size, around 500 people. You've been here a few times before so you quickly find an Inn to rest your horse and put your supplies in.
2; You decide it's best to hear about the going on's in the region so you head downstairs and order some food and drink at the bar before scanning the room. This is a mistake. As you start to look around for any hints of quests, you notice a woman with a low cut dress beside you. You are Inexperienced with women, your mentor keeping you focused on sharpening your skills, and so you become transfixed on them. Her Husband that she was talking with eventually notices and although you win the fight, everybody knows why it started. Some rumors have spread about you being a pervert.
3; After a night's rest, you realize your anxiety of finally being a full fledged knight clouded your judgement, so you head out the local barracks and train for most of the morning and afternoon.

1; You find suspiciously amiable Bandit Groups and other ruffians on your way to the target, making you wonder if the Spymaster anticipated your actions. He probably has been setting this up for months, though, so it's only logical you would take advantage. It seems your suspicions are proven true because as you are approaching the Villa, a group of well armed troops meet up with you. You're quick to rally your army into formation, but it seems for naught as they approach in line. They're support from the Spymaster to make sure the job is done quickly. He is a dangerous man, for sure.
2; The Villa Estate is a small place, perhaps only 100 men could fit in it, so you quickly line your infantry up and march them upon the walls. The reinforcements from the Spymaster allows you to focus your cavalry solely upon the fleeing peasants and you manage to slay all of them just in time to provide support for your men at the wall.
3; The Villa falls after only a couple hours. There was a small contingent of expertly trained men that fought to the last man, which prolonged the siege more than you expected. You spend a few more hours looting and pillaging the estate before heading back to the abandoned fort. Many of the new troops returned back to their own homes, including the reinforcements, but some decided to join you. As such, they had to give you part of their spoils.

1; Perhaps, learning how to use a Dagger on your own without an instructor was a mistake. You were slashing and stabbing in front of you, making fighting sounds when you pulled the blade up for a strong slash. The Dagger slipped from your hand and in your panic, you cast magic and blew out all the candles. Next thing you know, there's a Dagger in your Eye. It'll take a few days to heal, but nothing will fix that Dagger you obliterated into a million pieces…
2; Your Nephew agrees but wonders what you mean by his daughter inheriting his holdings. You attribute your mix up to your newly gained wound and after some talk about it, you leave to the forest with your Niece.
3; The Hunt did not go very well. There were hardly any animals, and with your wound and Niece with you, you only got a couple of squirrels and a basket of berries. You did show her the basics on how to drain a dead body of blood, though.

Name: Ibrahim of Sahrir
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Race: Human
Culture: Persian
Fluff: The great house of Sahrir has laid a watchful eye over the Kingdom for centuries, with a close relation to the rulers of the empire, even converting to the Lumean Orthodox Church. This changed, however, when the Great Turmoil commenced, with the house siding against the Empire due to the ambitious Shah Ifraym desiring far greater power. He lost, however, and he was deposed in favor of his brother Sulayman. Ibrahim was his fourth son, and sent to the Lumean capital to serve as a hostage at age 6. Now, as he ends his time as hostage, he is a young man, and he itches for the chance to make a name for himself.
House: of Sahrir
Flaws:
-Shortsighted (doesn't plan ahead at times)
-Blunt (may say things he will regret)
HP: 20/20
HF: 7/7 (The way Magic works in this world is that anybody can technically cast magic, as long as they are connected to this world. In order to cast magic, you must waste two rolls, one to gather the mana, and the second to cast the spell. Every successful spell cast adds a bonus to the success of your next roll to gather mana that stacks until you fail. Holy Favour can be used to harness power from your God to get a bonus to your mana gathering and spell casting rolls. If you lose all of your favor, however, you will be cursed and severed from the world. This means you won't be able to cast magic until you do something to appease your God.)

1; You gather up 10 of your fastest [Light Infantry] and send them east to determine whether the barbarians are planning to invade or not. They will return next turn and you will roll to determine their success.
2; While the party is out, you decide to call your counsel and prepare just in case. They make many good suggestions, though your oldest officer suggests mapping the land for tactical chokeholds and such, which you've done quite awhile ago, maps already made before you were stationed here. In his rambling, he does suggest something interesting that could be implemented. The barbarians will often send several smaller raiding parties for honor and to probe for weaknesses before sending the main body. He suggested placing symbols of antagonistic Gods of theirs and signs they consider unlucky in order to direct most of them down paths more easily defendable. You decide at the end of the meeting to do it along with agreed ambush points and other tactics.
3; You work out your body and keep your skills sharp during off time, as well as work your soldiers harder during training, training with them as inspiration.
Bonus:
+[Bad Omens] You've placed objects and structures considered "evil" by the barbarians along the paths to the castle. +5 to combat rolls against all barbarians

1; You decide to head towards the town in hopes of salvation and a new life, but trip over a rock and fall into a ditch. You lay there for a day or two as your leg heals its break, before continuing on.
2;Eventually, you find a road made of some hard stone and travel along it until you come across another person. You follow your instincts and launch yourself at them quickly, incapacitating them with a blow to the chin. His clothes are too big for you, but he has a fine coat you can use to cover your whole body. You also find a rather large pouch of coin that you fasten to your newly acquired belt, along with a fancy dagger and sheathe. You rationalize it'd be best if he wasn't found, so you drag him behind a bush and continue on your way.
3; You make it to the town by nighttime, though it seems abandoned because there's nobody around. You were wrong as you come across a building well lit with some people hanging outside and speaking loudly, cups full of liquid emptying and refilling constantly as a woman comes in and out with a large pitcher. You're unsure of whether it's okay for you to go in there, so you roam around for a bit, finding an empty house to sleep in. You usually don't need much sleep, but the new experience and all the emotions bubbling up have made you exhausted. You find a large fancy bed and fall asleep in it.

Name: Garolad
Sex: Male
Age: 25
Race: Half-elf
Culture: Latin/Germanic
Fluff: Adopted, he was found in the deep forest of Lumea Inlaudatus. Raised sincerely in a rural aristocrat warrior house descended from those Latins who conquered, settled, and married the locale. It was a strict and efficient household, but what affection there was between the family and the servants and slaves was pure and good. Their land was deep in the woods with a few other villages nearby. Their land had been cleared of trees and excess waters years ago when authority was strong and labor plentiful and so did not have trouble being productive. Protecting the fruits of that labor was a different matter. Barbarian raiders were growing more frequent these days, which also drove other families into hard times, destitution, and further banditry just to survive. It was a vicious cycle that could only be avoided with strength and vigilance.
Garolad is a beautiful and genuine young man of these times. He speaks a pure Latin unaffiliated with any accent that might mar it and this has endeared him classical imperialists. His ambition is to end the threats against his house and home. The only tangible inheritance of his elven lineage is his two handed-sword and circlet that have been with him since his mysterious arrival, though they have grown to fit his form as he grew, denoting a sure sign of magic. He retains a number of chosen warriors, scouts, and hunter archers to repel any invaders. His magic forte is circle magic which allows him to produce magic shields around the circle, or pushing force or disrupting the environment.
House: Bassille
Flaws: Wrathful, Closefisted, Insubordinate

1; You've stayed in good shape all your life, but after what you've gone through, and the near mindless trek south to the city, you're exhausted. You roam around for a bit, looking for magic shops, but all you can find is an adventurers shop, which you resupply from after your journey. They do sell [Minor Health Potions], which you buy a few of. These are used mostly by beginner adventurers and by armies for their rookies.
2-3; Using some Paper and Ink you purchased, you wrote out requests for a guide to help you hunt Trolls and placed them in many taverns, as well as the City Hall Request Board. You have a hearty meal at the Tavern you predetermined to meet prospective guides, and fall asleep immediately upon falling on the bed in your room. After putting your equipment back on, you're in the middle of eating breakfast when a contingent of soldiers led by a fancy dressed man enters and interrupts you. They tell you they've been sent by the Lord of Generosità to request an audience in his Hall. You decide this coincides perfectly with your plans and come with them, taking only a few minutes from your well picked location to get to the Central Hold. You're quickly led past the reception area you were in before and through the large, wooden double doors on the other side, where, a man you could only describe as rich and old, sits atop a modest throne of wood. There are Seven Columns on each side of the Throne Room leading up to the Throne itself, and there are heavily armored men standing at attention in front of each column. Walking up to the old Lord, you take stock of the man standing next to him that you hadn't even noticed till then. He looked similar to the Lord, perhaps related, but was much younger, and equipped with gear you'd see on a Ranger, than a Noble. After performing the standard bow to a peer(though not really anymore) and acknowledging his titles and rule of the city, he introduces himself and the man beside him. He tells you his name is Lorenzo De Lorenzo IX of House Ferraffetto and the man next to him is Giovanni De Lorenzo, his grandson. Lorenzo goes on to explain that word had reached him that your Castle was destroyed and that, being a friend of your Father, he wondered if your family had made it out. After telling him what happened and the fate of your family, he lets out a sign and leans his head against his hand. After hearing the scattered reports of some of your former peasants, he had put together everything you told him before he summoned you, but had hoped it was not true. He sighs again and tells you he has been concerned with the increased activity by the Trolls for awhile now, but didn't know what to do about it. With a flick of his hand, the armored soldiers in front of the columns marched up to the Throne and knelt before you in unison. Lorenzo explains that these were Elite Knights of his personal guard and that he was putting them under your command, along with his grandson, who's an accomplished woodsman, to put down the Trolls who killed your family. You quickly denied the assistance of the soldiers, stating how this was something you must do alone, but you accepted the help of his grandson, Giovanni, to lead you to where they dwell and any other basic help he could provide. Lorenzo narrowed his eyes at you, affixing a stare that you refused to break, until he closed his eyes and sighed again. You really are your Father's son, he said with a smile. He couldn't let you fight them with no help at all, he finally declared, and told his grandson to get the Trollsbane for you. After waiting for him to return with it, and handing it to you, you thanked him for his help, bowing again, and left with Giovanni.
+[3 Minor Health Potions] These heal you for 2 hp each
