The New Recruits

event Crossroad · Events (all zones)

You have reached a crossroads: to the north the path leads to an old watchtower, to the south the path leads you to the bridges that cross the river. The northern path appears to be blocked by a pigman with a brand on his arm who is trying to recruit others for what appears to be a cult. If you want to go north, you will have to deal with them. How would you like to proceed?
