We appeared on a well
defended green highlands with one entrance. A fresh river was forming
second defense line around the base. There were two old bridges over it.
After the north bridge, there was a Quest Giver and another one in the
north-west corner. A Goblin Lair to the west was surrounded by newly
founded enemy base. There were 2 more lairs on the map. A rival hero was
advancing from the north and third one defending to the north-west. It
was enemies everywhere, probably every one of them searching for the
treasure. We could either wait them to eliminate each other, or take
action and advance. In the end, including that from heroes, there were 6
treasure chest with artifacts. One of them held the Armor of
Brilliance(+5 Resistance, +5 Armor, +5% Spellcasting).
We took a small rest and
continued Deeper in the Old City in hunt of more treasure chest guarded
by Ogres and Orcs. When we were done, there were Doomwood, home of Dark
Elves and Drak Dum, home of Dwarfs. We could ally with either of them if
we visit their lands and do some errands against the other race. Then we
continued east to Colis Tarn.
