Samuel Broulder - The Heir

The Heir Samuel Broulder is the newly arrived owner of The Estate which he inherited from his ancestor Andross Broulder. The hstate and the surrounding areas are overrun by several factions of dubious nature ranging from bandits to nightmarish abominations due to the actions of Andross.

Samuel had his work cut out for him and had thus hired two mercenaries, Murduins the Crusader and Seph the Highwayman to accompany him to The Hamlet near to the hstate.The Heir had also sent out several messengers to all manner of establishments to get the attention of anyone that would come and help him for whatever reason be it monetary, holy or sinister.

Journey to the Hamlet
To get to the hamlet Samuel and his entourage had to travel on The Old Road. The forest got thicker the closer to the estate they came while the sun grew dimmer and dimmer even though the day had just passed noon.

When they were but a few moments away from the hamlet with carriage a giant tree fell down on the road. The horses had no time to halt thus crashing into the fallen tree wrecking the carriage. One of horses did not survive the crash while the other was to injured to stand up by itself so they had no choice but to continue on foot for the last path to the hamlet.

Suspecting that the tree had not fell down by itself, Murduins and Seph readied themselves for whatever might lurk in the thick forest with Samuel following close behind them. Their intuition proved correct when they after a while were ambushed by a group of bandits at the end of the forest right before the hamlet. The two mercenaries made quick work of the amateurish gang and the trio could enter the hamlet and rest after their troublesome journey.
