"What the hell? Who are you? The white armor... Are you with the Order?"

"Even if he isn't, we can't allow witnesses to live. Kill him too!"

Meanwhile, Hix received no answer. After a knocking a bit, the door fell down. It seemed the cottage had been abandoned a long time ago. However, after looking for a while for something useful, Hix accidentally dropped an old figurine of Saint Helena. On the floor laid the broken figurine and a small purse that was hidden inside it. After counting the money (which was a lot. It was weird someone had forgotten all of that money), Hix took the purse.

The party has acquired 500 Gold Crowns!

From the ruins of the castle, an armored figure appears. It moves as if it was disoriented, but as he appears, the storm stops. The mercenaries around him are frightened.

It seems I forgot to clarify the river thing. See the narrow section of the river in 5,11? That section of the river only costs 4 Movement to step onto it.

I'm editing the post so that it is clear.

"A Frey, huh? It seems the nepotism and incompetence of the Child Empress knows no limits. Well, it will work on our favor. Why don't we see how much that spoiled child values her own kin?"

His comments about the Empress where met with laughs by the mercenaries, who continued to joke about that with several remarks, mainly about the Empress probably being too busy playing with dolls to care about that.

"Gentlemen, take the young lady, she will be useful. Kill the others. Let's give them a taste of what their beloved Empire will suffer."

Meanwhile, not too far, a young woman walked through the woods. She had been following the tracks of the mercenary group that killed her comrades for almost a week. She had finally found them, and it seemed she had arrived just in time, as they had ambushed a group of travellers. Only after a while did she realized the travellers were Knights of the Order of Heavens, the Empress' personal army. It seemed like none of the groups had noticed her yet.
