The Pack is underway and the game approaches with what seems like ever increasing speed. In the meantime, for your hype and planning purposes, we present the Thane’s Schedule:
Rider Gannclann, and their child Tuathal, have set 5 bounties they wish us to complete for them over the course of this mission, each of which will earn 600p upon achievement:
- Hunt a particularly large and violent Ollocras that has been sighted near Daracaoi
- Cull 50 Coedainséairí, a tree-like Gwyllt that has been seen in the area of late
- Find the vartach calling themself “The Harbinger of the Fire’s Return” and ensure they do not follow through with their plans to burn down the forest.
- Root out and kill the leader of a pack of Wenigadai causing trouble nearby
- Find and rescue a local herbalist named “Marigold”, who has not been seen in days
Over the course of the mission, a number of the militia will be looking to learn specialised skills. They are command, quartermastery, reconnaissance, and medicine. Gallóglaigh who are interested in teaching or learning those skills should look out for these militia members. I have flagged the times they are all coming in the schedule below.
Please note they will also be accompanied by their fellows who will be seeking to learn the more basic skills I presume you can all teach.
Further, I have been contacted by a number of other locals who intended to either visit the camp or engage our services. These are outlined below, along with a number of scheduled items from within the band.
