What happened
Lucien begins the journey with too much luggage and a peasant carrying it. He charms merchant Gozbert Bophin into donating furs, ale, tobacco, and supplies in exchange for the possibility of royal favor, then neutralizes Hamdik’s criticism by sharing the goods.
At Breecaster, Alaryn wins the archery tournament after Lucien and Rish Rash quietly interfere with the competition. During the team exhibition, Lucien opens with Synaptic Static and ends by leaving an enemy polymorphed into a sheep long after victory. Beyond the festival, the party finds neglected temples and empty roadside shrines in lands supposedly blessed beyond measure.
