Dicing with Death: Episode 046

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
As we rejoin Fenric, he is at the height of his popularity, having exterminated a whole nest of yetis, and having earned the gratitude of the town. Eager to go and collect trophies from his conquest, and maybe make a little gold on the side, he once again acquired the local lads and heads out to the yeti lair, but once they get there they find all the Yeti corpses mysteriously vanished.
Annoyed and mystified, Fenric and the boys head back to town, but encounter a snow shard. In the bedlam that follows, Fenric loses consciousness. He wakens in an inn to find his flaming sword missing. 
He meets up with Rockbreaker, and together they go question the locals, trying to find the thief. They learn the sword is in the possession of a mage, who they track to Ansdreth.
They find the mage in an inn, and Fenric confronts him, which leads to a short but chaotic fight, during which Fenric is once again knocked out.
Fenric wakes up in a cold hard prison cell, and learns his antics caused the burning down of the inn. He is to stand trial for his actions. Fortunately he is able to call on Newt to stand witness, and get the murder charges dismissed, but he is to help rebuild the inn, at the cost of 200 gold, and is forbidden to leave town until he does so.
Short on money, Fenric starts by helping the innkeeper redesign the imn making some revolutionary change along the way.
With not much to do while the rubble is cleared from the inn, Fenric visits the witch, hoping she can increase his knowledge of the magical arts. She is happy to oblige, but at a cost five years of his life. He agrees to the terms, and after some mildly disturbing coitus, Fenric leaves wiser but aged five years.
He rests up in an inn, and puts his new skill to use studying magical texts which he is collected on his journey, and learning new spells. After spending many days studying, he finally heads out to speak to the innkeeper, to resume his duties, only to learn aging five years had an unexpected boon he was not recognizable.
He decides it would be prudent to continue north, and complete his quest in the moor, but the journey is arduous. He almost doesn't make it, and has to spend some time recovering from a nasty illness.
Hale but broke, Fenric attempts to join a caravan to travel to the moor.
During the journey he fights off some lizard-men. He impresses the mercenary captain enough to be allowed to join the caravan for free.
