Day Three: More Happened

So day three. I allied myself with the Sarranid Sultanate, who is currently at war with the Kingdom of Rhodoks. I was asked to follow the marshall (general) of the Sarranid armies around and help him with stuff, so I did. As they usually do, the general thought it would be a good idea to stay still for about 3 hours (game time) so I set up camp and waited for him to move his dumb ass. We finally departed towards Rhodok lands with a bunch of the Emirs behind us, ready to pwn. (which we did, but we lost lots of men so we went back home to recover)

I then followed the Marshall around for a while, until he went back to his castle that is. He expected me to just hang out around his castle? Screw that noise. If he calls me back I'll come, but I'm not waiting for him to make sweet love to his ugly wife (or daughter, who knows how this society works :S ) I went around to some towns, recruiting people to join my army, seeing as it had been beaten up pretty badly and needed BOLT-ster-ing. The marshall was on the move again (like a retard, again) so I had to follow him around some more, which was boring. He finally went to lay siege to some castle and it let me off the hook, said I didn't need to follow him anymore. I went to find more lame people to join my army, killed another murderer, helped some village by bringing them cattle, etc. Boring stuff for the most part. I did, however, find another party member of mine in a tavern at Shariz, so I took her on.

After a while I found some caravan that wanted to be escorted to a far away city, so, after agreeing upon a price, we started the trip. WORST. ROUTE. EVER. This stupid caravan decided to go through woods, around a mountain, etc. By far this is the worst way I've ever taken to get to this city from the Sarranid lands. If I wasn't working for the Sultanate, and had been paid already, I'd raid them myself, just out of spite. When we had almost arrived, I discovered a HUGE glitch in the game. The caravan master said "NO STRING!" whatever that means, and I couldn't exit the screen. Soooo I had to shut the game down. Hope a lot of this got saved. I'll write more later, I've been disheartened by NO STRING! I've included a picture of the dumbass caravan master up top there. He has no string.

Caravan fail.
