Norland continues and the Unholy Horde make their first move by attacking the Kingdom of Greenspire to our West. It looks like there might be quite a lot of them but some other Kings have sent troops to help so Betty bravely marches off with our warriors to see if she can help turn the tide of the battle, because if it Greenspire does fall it looks like we might be next in line...

Back in Cupboardia we find ourselves struggling for the basics, such as food, beer and gold. We don't seem to have a good enough economy to produce much money so we can't buy in anything, including the holy rings that all the Noble characters seem totally obsessed with!

Bernard has to turn on the charm again, this time to both impress the people of Brightvale to get them to join our alliance and also to impress Orsa and Nika to try to convince them to stay on as Lords rather than quit and take all of their expertise with them.

Also we start growing hops, young Geek learns how to read and one of our Nobles is injured by a surprise wolf attack...
