I could practically imagine Oreyn jumping up and down, saying “Guess what, guess what?” when I picked up my next mission. Maglir defaulted on a contract again. The damned loser. . . and he’s none to kind to us when we pay him a visit in the Lonely Suitor Lodge.

Maglir tells us off, and says he’s with the Blackwood Company now. Alright, now I can see where the guild storyline is going. None the less, Oreyn acts surprised when we tell him the news.

Any way you cut it, we have to go clean up Maglir’s mess again. This time, it’s fetching Imp Gall for the Bravil Mage’s Guild. I’m noticing a trend, that the Fighter’s Guild is a friend for lazy alchemists. The cave our contact recommends to us is rather unexciting, but the extra reward she gives us is not:

Well, I suppose I did pick this up as well:

Oreyn, my dear dark elf “friend,” is severely ticked off this point, and thinks that the Blackwood Company set them up in a previous mission. Of course they did, they’re stinking mercenaries, Oreyn. We head off with Oreyn to one set of ruins, and then another, in track of the truth. Along the way, Oreyn gets shot in the arm by an arrow, and just walks it off, even as it protrudes through his arm as a clean shot. No blood!

We find the truth we’re seeking. As a result, we’ve been promoted twice, first to Defender, and now to Warder. Huzzah.

But where’s the twist? Oh, please tell me there is one.
