marche is burning.
If the characters succeed in slaying or driv-
ing off all the attackers, read the following par-
agraph:
A great shout of triumph echoes from the
battlefield. In the distance, you see Captain
Renulf s forces advancing, the banners of
Ulek waving proudly. Panic seizes the Po-
marj forces as their center collapses, and
Horaz’s army dissolves into chaos.
A cavalryman gallops into the clearing,
brandishing a fallen Pomarj banner. “We
conquer!” he shouts. “The enemy is rout-
ed!”
You join him in a ragged cheer, then let
the weariness of the past few days wash
over you. The next day, you accompany the
victorious militia south to join Prince Olin-
staad’s army, now under the command of
Marshal Augustos Clinkerfire.
Rewards and Conclusion.
If the characters were defeated in the final bat.
tle with Horaz. read the following section:
You flee south, shepherding the refugees
as best you can. You join the prince’s army
under Marshal Augustos Clinkerfire and aid
in his skillful fighting withdrawal in the face
of overwhelming odds. You fall back on the
Lortmils, leaving half the principality con-
quered.
As you prepare for the final conflict with
nrrosh Mak, you and the principality are
given an unexpected reprieve. Preferring to
plunder the riches of Celene, the Pomarj
horde has turned north, leaving what is left
of Ulek in peace. Wearily, you realize that
despite the fact that Prinzfeld was con-
quered, you (and at least part of the princi-
pality) have survived.
If the characters defeated Horaz, read them
the following entry:
29
By the time you arrive, the initial battles
have already taken place, and Marshal
Clinkerfire has been forced back into the
lower Lortmils. Ttxrrosh Mak’s army is clos-
ing in for the final kill. The arrival of your
troops heartens the demoralized Ulek army.
Realizing that he cannot easily win in the
hills, lbrosh Mak breaks off the campaign
and marches north. Half the principality
has fallen, but at least Prinzfeld remains
free. Ulek will survive, to someday fight
again.
The overall outcome of the war-half of the
principality in enemy hands-is the same
whether the characters defeated Horaz or not.
The main difference between the outcomes is
the status of the principality of Prinzfeld. If the
characters were defeated, Prinzfeld is conquered
and becomes a part of lbrrosh Mak’s
“Kingdom Where None Has Stood.” If the party
was victorious, Prinzfeld remains free, but
its days of peace are over. The tiny province
now exists on the border of the evil Pomarj
empire.
Regardless of their success or failure, if the
characters played well and fought bravely in
his service, Prince Olinstaad will award each
of them with a knighthood (an essentially
meaningless title which nonetheless signifies
his gratitude). Future missions against Ttxrrosh
Mak’s new kingdom are a distinct possibility,
as is a campaign to free Prinzfeld if the
province was conquered.
Additionally, characters will be given 500 gp
each above any rewards previously agreed-
upon, and will, of course, be allowed to keep
any plunder which they obtained during the
adventure.
