What happened
Rise Lightstar arrives with armored clerics and heals the caravan survivors, including Jeremy. Lucien gives a terrified merchant a meaningless protection ring while quietly relieving him of valuables. At the next blockade, Lucien paralyzes the defenders and the Kingsguard annihilates them.
Lucien places Jeremy before two helpless prisoners. Elric lends the boy his warhammer. Jeremy kills both men and kneels proudly afterward. Near Breecaster, Prince Halric challenges the Kingsguard to single combat for his people. Stormurinn accepts, defeats him, and leaves him alive long enough to submit to Maltraxis.
