As the swordsman caught one of Sir Dupre’s strikes on his shield, Sir Dupre lashed out with his own shield and struck him hard in the face, feeling the mans nose break before the impact. Helmets are worn for a reason, novice… he thought to himself as he disengaged his blade, stamped on the man’s foot, and ran him through. With a sudden jerking back of his sword he let him fall, staining the dusty […]

I could only get anything useful out of a few…and even that wasn’t too much since most weren’t interested in talking at all. It seems that no boats departed from Papua at all, and nobody should’ve been able to utilize the Serpent’s Pillar at the time we came across the wreck. I’ve also heard […]
