Back on subject

Ok, so my last few posts strayed from the LawCon topic so I will try to get back to that.

I gave a bit of info about Barrow's Edge because I thought the party may return there every now and again. This may be a surprise to them. The main reason is that one of the characters, Lita is from here and has family here still. Another, is that the party failed to defeat the final villian of Scourge of the Howling Horde. This villian may return later so I need all the facts about the town availible to everyone.

Now on to the characters:
Amareth went to Archenbridge to find a paladin to train him. He managed to find one after visiting with his family for a few days. Lord Keldorn was the paladin that trained Gilthias (Amareth's mentor). As a matter of fact, Gilthias was like a son to Keldorn until Gilthias became aware of the prophesy that lead him to Amareth. Keldorn was never interested in prophesies and so he didn't approve of his student's wish to train the boy.
Keldorn and Victor Rathos (an uncle of Amareth) once adventured together before falling out and breaking up the party, the Company of Sword and Shield. Because of Victor's experiences with Keldorn, most of the Rathos family dislike him.
Keldorn agrees to train Amareth because he is curious if this boy is worthy of Gilthias' sacrifice.
Also, while in the city, Amareth hires a scribe to read aloud the paladin journal so that he can figure out the location of a lost holy avenger blade.

For the player of Amareth to adjust on his character:
The training takes two tenday and costs 750 gp. At the conclusion of this, Amareth must roll an Int. or Wis. check, whichever is higher. Success indicates the level has been achieved. Failure results in another tenday of training, 115 more gp spent and another roll with a +1 bonus (culmative). Continue until a check is passed and the level is gained. Living expense will be low since Amareth can stay at his family's estate. The scribe will charge 3 sp/day (minimum time will be 25 days).

More to come...
