Spoils of War

The aftermath of the battle against Baron Illus was as follows…

300 Guards were now held captive by the Stonefall Village.

Kobolds made sure to keep an eye on them, which wasn't a lot of work since the Guards seemed too exhausted from dealing with the traps and Joan.

Steward Lewis, the former steward of Baron Illus, served as their administrator.

At the moment, the Guards were all rounded up at the village square. They discreetly talked to each other, avoiding the attention of the Kobolds that encircled them.

“Did we really get abandoned by Baron Illus?”

“Now that doesn’t make sense. How’d he leave?”

“A Teleportation Scroll.”

“Wait, he has funds for a Teleportation Scroll?”

“He promised 100 Gold to capture the Prince alive. Why wouldn’t he be able to afford it?”

“He left, but wouldn’t that just mean that he’ll come back again?”

“He might bring a bigger and better army, then. He can levy so much more.”

“I’m tired. I wanna go home.”
