Where: The Old Capital
When: GHB 16 & 17
What: As foretold when the Kingdom was in deepest peril, the mythic sword of Rubilacxe has once again appeared in the Old Capital! Embedded deeply in a large stone set in the middle of the fountain in the town square, the mythical sword waits for the bravest of heroes to pull it free!




... well. Not just heroes. Looks like everyone's having a go trying to pull that thing out! It seems the locals of the Old Capital are making a tourist's spectacle of the whole deal. While there was a debate if they should charge people to try, it seems instead they've raised the prices on meals and rooms, and children (and some adults) can be found all over selling small cheep wooden carvings that may or may not look like the sword in the stone and other cheep souvenirs.

Well. That's the old capital for you! Lucky that you've gotten to use the king's fastest horses to get there unnaturally swiftly so you won't have to stay the night.

So, what'll it be, hero?

Ryo seemed a bit surprised to find himself standing right back there in front of the sword. He was quite careful not to examine that coin he was holding in front of the crowd--he could feel it in his hand, and that was enough until he could get himself a bit more privacy. Privacy wasn't a thing when you were standing in front of a bunch of adoring idiot townspeople who seemed disappointed you hadn't pulled the worthless sword from the stone, after all.

Only one thing left to do now--get out of there. He started walking away from the sword, hoping the townspeople would just accept his "failure" and let him go with minimal punching of annoying people in the face.
