The Keepers of Fire - TaCo - Game #1

by Aryn Kelpeth

I was patrolling the area in Krazax when I overheard that a small town nearby called Guard Hold was calling out for aid. The city was built around a big fire that never stopped burning, it kept the area warm from the otherwise cold and icy landscape around it. I stumbled upon another Wanderer who had also heard the call for help named Shai Sora, we were also aided by a peculiar gnome named Lewis and a Tabaxi from the shackled legion calling himself “Smokey” (who despite being from the legion seemed like an alright guy).
 
Our job was to protect the fire from the nightly raids made by the White Ranger and her wolf pack, we searched a bit of clues during the day but found nothing of importance. So we waited until the night, we were stationed at the north-eastern wall because it was the wall that had been hit the most. About 2 hours after midnight an alarm was raised, the south-western wall was under attack. We hurried over there but only managed to defeat some of her wolves before the White Ranger fled. Lewis sent his owl out to track the Ranger as she ran away and we were dismissed for the night.
 
Come morning the owl returned and we followed it too the snowy stone field where she had made rested for the night, we searched around the area and eventually confronted her. We learned that this was all part of her revenge against the town guards who had murdered her parents, two wolves. I understood her action and was wondering if I would maybe have done it myself where I her shoes, but in the end I decided to fulfil my duty as a World Wanderer to take her down.
 
When she was defeated the guard captain wanted to execute her, I let him do it since he had every right too exact revenge for all the fallen guards. Lewis however intervened, he tried desperately to spare the Dragonborn Ranger. It was fine until he started threatening the Captain, in which case I had to point my blade towards him. After a lot of arguing and threats he backed down.
