Events
Bretonnian Knight

Peter Haresnape

The Bretonnian Knight is often ill at ease in settlements, surrounded by debauchery and wantonness. He has his heart set on greater things. This means that there is always a chance that he might get in situations that others would not.

The Knight's rulebook detailed changes to the events caused by his presence. What follows is a table that the Bretonnian Knight can roll on if the Roleplay book claims that he has an Uneventful Day. The Bretonnian Knight is too busy rescuing damsels in distress to take a day off!

 

Roll 1D6    

Event

1

 Something more than the price of bread is troubling the settlement, but none of the other Warriors perceive it. The Knight discovers rumours of dark forces at work, and resolves to seek them out. Roll 1D6+ Initiative. If he fails he must try again anytime he rolls an Unexpected Event on the main table (ignoring this table) or doesn't visit a trader or location. When he succeeds, he has stumbled upon a lair of monsters that have been at work in the city. Roll 1D6, adding +1 if he has Widespread Renown or higher.

 The Knight is approached by a delegation of weeping damsels, and asked to rescue their lady from the foul beast that has taken her. Roll on the appropriate table in the rulebook. To help you, they will take your blade and bless it in a nearby sacred lake. This will take them 1D3 days, and if you accept you may not leave the settlement before this time.

 An ancient Hermit Knight rides over to you, still proud and strong. He challenges you to beat him in a game of riddles. Roll 1D6 x Initiative, to beat 8. If you succeed he hands you one piece of treasure that you were questing for, and congratulates you. If you don't have a Relic Errand, he gives you a Dungeon Treasure. If you fail, he gives you a piece of advice, and rides off, saddened. Roll on the Advice Table. Gain or lose 1D6x10 Honour Points respectively.
