Change of Plans

*"Perhaps you are regretting your choices. Now is a moment to change them."*

## Event

*By way of letter, hearsay and shouting you manage to arrange an impromptu meeting with all your companions.*

* *Estrella, Ariadne and Colbjorn are huddled around a table comparing daggers.
Malaclypse seems to want to join in on the conversation, but having no weapons of his own, merely wanders around the group, occasionally shouting: "Why, what I wouldn't kill for a game of dice! Who's in?"*
* *Valenos surveys Malaclypse from across the tavern with a curious look in his eyes.*
* *"I'm surprised you didn't shoot our lovely leader in the foot!" Malaclypse notes with a wink, before stage-whispering, "...there's still time you know. Why not do it here?"*
* *Drunk upon something floral, Veles stumbles towards you. "I don't appreciate you enough, larger Grobblem..." he whispers, aggressively.*
* *Valenos watches your companions partake in the tavern's various activities. "It is a shame that one will come to betray you."*
* *Hubie hands Keturah a wilted flower that you're certain he stole from the tavern's garden. The old bounty hunter is taken aback. She stares at the delicate bloom.*
* *You catch a rare smile from Colbjorn as Hubie runs past carrying a heavy coin purse that most certainly does not belong to him.*
* *"What say I play you a song, my solid Northerner friend?" Malaclypse pulls out his lute with a flourish. Colbjorn whittles a wooden bird, pointedly ignoring him.*
* *Colbjorn and Keturah have a table to themselves - the Northerner is carving something bird-shaped, while Keturah peruses her spread of bounties. They seem completely comfortable ignoring each other.*
* *Hubie sniffs the air near Valenos to his alarm, but the goblin merely returns to snacking on stale bread.*
* *"Now, I know we had a deal," Veles appears silently beside you, "but the blood of this Cruel Keturah would be a rare delicacy indeed..."
You frown, and Veles skulks off, disappointed.*
* *Hubie sits eating a heaping pile of a thick, grey porridge. Despite his sizeable mouth, he spoons it everywhere, spilling it down his vest.
Veles, beside him, frowns at the display.*
* *Estrella and Colbjorn appear to be in a deep discussion in a quiet corner of the tavern.
A map of the land is spread in front of them, Estrella points at the mountains in the North tracing a line towards the marshes, whilst asking something. Colbjorn, statuesque as always, gives a slow nod.*
* *With their drinks of preference spread upon the table (blood wine, sweet ale, fern mead and Aramoor spirits) Malaclypse, Ariadne, Estrella and Colbjorn join in the raucous singing that has suddenly filled the tavern.
That is to say, Malaclypse is shouting at the top of his lungs while Ariadne laughs uproariously, Estrella hides a smile and Colbjorn sits amongst them in his usual mournful state.*
* *"Ariadne," a well dressed man, with a simply luxurious moustache approaches. "You cannot run from your duties forever."
"I don't know who this man is!" Ariadne shouts, a slight blush tinging her face as she flings a chair at the polite assailant, who dodges it with practice.*
* *"You leave this poor man alone!" You hear Ariadne shout from across the way. "He's a good man, he doesn't have your dog!"
The blacksmith is standing between a drunken peasant brandishing a rusted knife and Malaclypse who is peeking out from behind her, looking to be having the time of his life.*
* *The glow of the tavern's hearth calls any and all in from the night.*

1) Swap companion.

Malaclypse
* *Malaclypse uncorks another bottle of wine. "Of course you'd choose me, I'm the best."*
* *"You'll be sorry for abandoning me!" Malaclypse shouts.*
* *"Take your time!" Malaclypse yells from across the tavern. He seems preoccupied with the pretty barmaid.*

Colbjorn
* *Colbjorn is as emotionless as always.*
* *Colbjorn immediately leaves to roast a fish upon the tavern fire.*
* *Colbjorn stares forlornly at the fire.*

Estrella
* *Estrella nods.*
* *Estrella nods. "I have business to attend to in the Capital."*
* *Estrella raises an eyebrow.*

Ariadne
* *Ariadne grins. "Make up your mind! You should probably get Malaclypse out of this tavern though, he'll lose all our money."*
* *Ariadne swings her hammer into the air with a shout. "Where are we off to?"*
* *Ariadne gives you a hug. "Goodbye!"*

Valenos
* *Valenos scoffs. "If only were that easy."*
* *Valenos shakes his head. "Doubt riddles your mind it seems."*

Hubie
* *Hubie's wrinkled face falls at your decision.*
* *Hubie is relieved.*

Veles
Keturah
* *Keturah grunts in understanding.*

2) Leave.

**Encounter ends.**
(If this card is added in the Devil challenge):

*You fall into step with Ariadne who drops a cheerful hand onto your shoulder. "Don't worry, sausage, we'll get the whole troop back together again."*
**Encounter ends.**
