42

Walking up to a one of the Drakkarim Junior Officers, you order the warrior to give you his horse. Instead he stares up at you malevolently. In the Drakkarim, war is honor, and avoiding combat is considered cowardice, yet you need a mount if you are to join in the cavalry. For him, though, it is a matter of honor, honor you have sullied, and instead of allowing you to join in the charge, as would be sensible considering your experience and rank, he instead whips out his weapon, threatening to fight you if you so much as dare to try to prevent him from going. You could ask another, but as he is the most junior of all those included in this regiment, it would be of little use, you would only get the same response from any other.

If you still wish to join this charge, turn to 23.

If you now wish to wait instead, turn to 48.
