Pilgrimage (Anheim's Tale).

I met someone with symbols of Tempus, Lord of Battle.

After short talk (i mentioned that some call me witcher) we decided to go on pilgrimage to local temple of his god, that for this moment i also follow.

We were escorted by crying god's servant, who also gave us healing potions. They all were used in following battle. I told him about Shroud of Ilmater, that can cure any illness... for he mentioned that his abbey in scardale suffers from afflictions.

We passed Legion Tower, military organization of that fights for Freedom. I mentioned that i am legion recruit.

At temple we offered weapons, wine and food. I prayed to Tempus and red knight under His guidance.

He called me 'Black Cloak', just like i was called in temple when i served there as grave guard. He didn't answer if it was just a guess.

Then we decided and went to fight goblins for the glory of Tempus, Lord of Battle.

On our way we met gnolls, too strong for us to kill, so we ran past (to return later).

During our way to Rawlinswood, we had to stop.. for he had visions. After guarding him for a while i decided to leave him and continue. I killed alpha wolf. Then he appeared and forced me to aid him in Tempus's name. We fought goblins and wolves, discussing tactics, speaking Mantras and prayers as neccessary (speech is more than words, and prayer is speech with God), until i sensed an ambush. We retreated (fought our way to safety). Crows and ravens will feast on them.

(next day) I met Mars, follower of Tempus from last day again.

We exchanged greetings, then we shot at archery targets for warmup, he seemed really good with weapons.

Then mentioned that we should kill goblins.. and corpse beetles in Tempus's name (but not neccessarily at once).

We went where corpse beetles and wolves feast. I used Armor signs on us in Tempus name. First failed, two next succeed. I was bitten by snake (hopefully not lethal poison), he fell in battle but was tough enough when i outran them and shot with bow. He managed to rise and aid me to kill last. It was disorienting, we went in wrong direction, risking our sorry asses...

Then we returned... On way back he asked me if he can heal me, but i sensed we had to leave quick, so said 'later' to him. On way back there was one more beetle to kill, then we saw Norwick town gate.

I did not need his healing, in Tempus name. I prefer inn.

(another day) I met Mars, follower of Tempus again. Is it destiny?

He was sitting in zazen, or perhaps kneeling, at random shrine, praying, perhaps transforming energies.

I went to kill few goblins and wolves, he followed then suddenly had to go.

I fought for a while then returned. Is he okay?

(another day) Another adventurers i've met.

This time it was wizard, woman who spoke a little too quick.

After short talk group of four of us went to patrol Nars Pass, infested by Gnolls, large dog men with axes.

One of us was experienced warrior, perhaps knight... but all of us managed to add something and aid. He would not live without us, or it seemed so. At some point i had to run away to return later, with dancing knife on, after gnoll was stuck in a shrub.
