Two - and a Dog - Against Three

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 20547

It seems that the men must have already broken into the shop from the back, relying on the shopkeeper to have gone out the front to try to help those trapped in the inn. Then you hear a volley of barks, intermingled with alarmed shouts. The soldiers had probably not expected to encounter a dog.

You and the shopkeeper dash into the shop, which is only dimly illuminated by the light from his lantern. He heads through the door that leads into the storeroom at the back. You draw the sword [20529] that you were given when you joined Elinor's group, and follow him.

There are three men in the storeroom. One is nursing a badly bitten hand, and the other two are making not very effective swings of their swords in an attempt to keep off the dog, a large, heavy-set beast that looks as though it may have a little wolf in its ancestry. No doubt they have little fencing experience, especially when a dog is the opponent, and if they were sampling the inn's brew earlier on that won't be helping them.

  1. Distracted by your entrance, one of the men takes his eyes off the dog for a moment. The beast leaps and sinks its teeth into his sword-arm.
  2. Just as you enter, one of the men manages to sink his sword into the dog's chest.
  3. At that moment, the reassuring form of Aoron appears behind you. He and Sarah have seen the flames and he's come to investigate.
