Hardcore Heroes: Episode 41

Recap
1510-03-21 It is 2 months since Malakai & Van-Healsing arrived in Bon' Theris. They purchased the old Dudley estate and had their 2 wing mansion built. Malakai has the East Wing, Van has the West Wing. Jeeves has a small cottage on the grounds. Construction on it all has just been completed. The cost was said to be one of the two treasuries they plundered. Jeeves is now the butler for the new estate.

Malakai seeks out the Captain of the Guard, Kel Deluney. Kel Deluney is playing cards with some solders in the barracks. Malakai says he is willing to help with some local monster problems for free. Kel Deluney says that the road to Gumpbrun is being hassled by Hill Giants.

Malakai goes to the town's Magic Shop for supplies. The magic shop is run by Brudella the Invoker. After buying supplies the two talk about the Arc Mage of town, Arc Mage Lydia the Diviner, and reveals that the walls of the shop are lined with silver and lead to stop Lydia from spying on her. Malakai thinks that is a good idea, so asks Lydia to arrange it to be installed in his workshop basement in the mansion.

Malakai also asks Brudella about the Hill Giants on the road. 8 miles from Bon' Theris is the last village before the Hill Giant problem.

Malakai heads to the keep and asks to meet with Arc Lydia. The guard at the gate explaisn that Lydia will only meet wih Malakai if he changes into a Guard Uniform and leaves all his belonging behind.. Malakai instead decides to send a message to invite Lydia to meet in the the tavern instead.

Malakai returns to the estate and informs Jeeves that some workers will be coming to install some silver and lead in his workshop. Then six dwarves arrive, infuriating Malakai. The dwarves, lead by a dwarf named Carl, end up being the work crew. Malakai leaves Jeeves to supervise the dwarves.

Malakai then waits in the tavern, "Bog Standard" for Lydia.
