Ok, so this turn was fairly eventful.
Firstly, our warrior standing guard at potential city 4, Terence, attacked and killed a Barbarian warrior putting him up to 10xp. He's currently combat 1 and shock, so combat 2 seems logical to me.
Secondly, we found ourselves a lion at last! This is likely the lion we spotted ages ago when we first stepped onto the mirror. He was promptly tamed, although our lion was positioned a bit strangely, next to the goblin fort! Fortunately, the goblins were too scared to come out and play so we can now escort him home. That lizardman got 2 xp for attacking and is now at 11/9 so im guessing combat 2 next here also?
Last thing left to do this turn was to explore the shipwreck with our griffon. We got a 'big bad' result... Or did we?
Strength 9 named Pirate ship, hereby dubbed Guybrush. However, his entourage was
three griffons. Since the only scary unit there can't go onto land, i'm not too worried. Fingers crossed that those griffons head our way (Hippus are about as close). Our other, fully healed, lizardman is heading that direction to try and grab as many as possible.
Education comes in next turn!
