“The Copper Kettle”
Continuing Game 121

Winter is coming to an end across the Duchy of Alsoria. The crusader armies have been camped here for the winter, waiting until the spring thaws will let them advance back into the cursed land of Bilgosh, where the unholy Dark Lords await their return. The war has not gone well. The armies have needed the winter to rebuild, and to reconsider.

As April grows near, soldiers, knights and clergy await the call for the southward march. Until that moment comes, they pass the time in local taverns and inns such as this one, the Copper Kettle. Located on the trade road, it is a convenient place to stop in, to get a drink or a meal or a room. Soldiers from across the continent mingle here with the Steinlander locals, drinking, gambling… and planning.

Most years, the Copper Kettle is merely a quiet local watering hole. But now, with so many foreigners around, it is unlikely to be an uneventful night.
