DSA - Behind the Throne - The Road So Far

ayascytheAfter we won back Castello Lumian, our next goal was to find Darian (one of Geron's enemies who's also in possession of one of the keys to the treasury). He fled to Bomit which is another strategically important point in the barony.
So we made plans to storm Bomit, but it wouldn't be as easy as before, because Bomit has a lot more men and it would need a lot more planning. While we were exploring the forests around Bomit, we met a female ranger and her band. As it turned out she's the daughter of an influental banker family and in possession of the third key to the treasury. Also, her mother is held prisoner by Darian's uncle, who lives in a mansion in Bomit. She agreed to help if we brought her back her mother.
Afterwards, we freed Teukras, Geron's best friend, thus saving him from getting executed and brought him back to Geron. There was only little time for preparations and a couple of days later, we went to Bomit, closely followed by our troops.
Eilin snuck into the city, only to find out that Darian's uncle and his "witch" hold a reign of terror over the citizens, threatening them, keeping them inside their houses after nightfall. When the local priests wouldn't stand for it anymore they were thrown into prison (! priests! thrown into prison! you Don't Do That in the world of DSA). Rumour has it, that the "witch" is working together with demons.
Our troops arrived and as of now, we're getting ready to storm the city, e.g. our group will storm the mansion of Darian's uncle to free the prisoners and defeat the "witch".
Also: Raoul went betting and drinking among the mercenaries and since I botched a roll really spectacularly, he had a full-blown Hangover experience. He woke up outside the castle next to a pig, completely naked and without any memories. Only bit by bit he found his clothes and armour again and found out what happened. Apparently he was so drunk that he started flirting with a female mercenary - despite being gay - and then incurred her wrath, was chasen out of the castle, where he tilled a field all night long (in the middle of the winter) and did some other shit until he blacked out. Dirty, hungover and beaten up, he returned to the castle.
Comments of the others in our group: "That's pathetic." and "You're a disgrace."
Raoul, dryly: "I feel like I'm back home."
[insert Tumblr-esque gifset of present-day scene versus past-day scenes in black and white with oddly similar quotes of his father and siblings, only much more disdainful and a lot more serious - because yeah, I can turn any hilarious scene tragic in my mind]

I bet he did. ;) Gah, I can't wait to play again.
(Also re: your question in the last entry: I'm halfway through your scans and they were really interesting! There weren't any specific rules in it, but it gave a good general overview. Thank you again! :D)
