Our first job from the guild takes us to another frontier village. This one seems to be pretty far from the wilderness to be considered a frontier village. I guess it is just a matter of time before it becomes a town with a minor lord to oversee it. There are a few hundred people living in the town, but no guild branch yet. As we approach the centre of the village the usual small hill of the original settlement appears. The old farmhold buildings have been cleared away and replaced by a new town hall.


    As the swarm gets within striking distance I switch from my bow to a polearm I cobbled together last minute before we left. Hardly my best work but after hearing about the bee mission I wanted to try to get longer reach than a longword. The polearm is no more than a spear with a blade attached to the end, a glaive. Crippling bees with a glaive prove far easier than hitting them with arrows.

    As we enter Kira is holding my glaive. Having seen me use it, she wanted to give it a try, but she is clearly finding the head of the glaive to be a bit too heavy to wield. Still she manages to cripple a couple of bees at the nest while Nadi and me take care of the rest with swords. Using fire magic inside the nest is clearly not a good idea as the canopy is very flammable.
