Lord Beamish's men-at-arms wish you well and you see them marching off towards Beamish Hall whistling and carrying the boar on the stout pole. The inside of Aethlewine's long house is tidy. A small fire is set in the fireplace and a kettle hangs over it. Turnip stew smells pretty good after your lon...

Aethelwine interrupts the conversation with a loud clearing of his throat, "Come inside, all of you...well, except for the bird, the spider, and the horse. We'll need to get you fed and on your way.

To think that I would eat this cantankerous old boar, you are wrong. Take him away with you when you leave, but you shall not roast him in my gl...

Very good! Since your character is a knight, I shall allow him a suit of chainmail, shield, and a melee weapon. Also, a horse fitting a delusional knight... there are plenty of knight's travelling about in the Forest of Nye. You may opt to be from Nye or from another county within the kingdom of Eyr...

Certainly!
