So in the tavern, they asked about Seers.Given the game is meant to be procedural, at least to a significant degree, I decided to deploy some procedure: I rolled on both columns of the Appearance, Voice, Desire and Task tables, and got:Short physique, drab dress; mumbled tone, rambling manner; ambition mastery, motivated by legacy; task to break a SeerA roll showed that this was a man, with Vig 11, Cla 11, Sp 5; and I decided that his legacy pertained to The Mountain (that being the nearest Myth) and the Seer was the Enthroned Seer (I can't remember how I decided this - maybe I rolled?).I told the players that, at their mention of Seers, a short man wearing a drab cloak with his hood on indoors approached them, and started talking: but he was mumbling, and rambling, so only those who could pass a Clarity save could work out what he was talking about. The Free Knight and Mirror Knight both failed, and suffered d4 loss of SPI, being disheartened by their inability to converse with this man and learn about the Seers, and so instead having to chat to one another and drink.The Lance Knight also failed, but he then used his Mystic Sight, and saw that this strange man regretted never having climbed The Mountain. So he didn't suffer any SPI loss.The Hive Knight and the Chain Knight listened to the man, and learned that he wanted to climb The Mountain, and blamed the Enthroned Seer for his failure to have done so - and so wanted to break the Enthroned Seer. They learned that The Mountain is to the east. I think there was another roll here, for some reason I now can't remember - but the upshot of someone's failure was that the Enthroned Seer would know that the Hive Knight and Chain Knight had spoken with this man, and would be hostile to them as a result.When the strange man was leaving, the Free Knight showed him his shield - with its pattern that pains Seers - and the man was very excited by it. But the Free Knight wouldn't give it to him.The Knights slept the night in the tavern. For reasons that weren't clear to me even at the time, and are completely unclear to me now (it might have somehow been an attempt to indulge his passion, and so recover SPI?), the Mirror Knight tried to persuade the hosteller to provide drinks to everyone. But he failed, and so only ended up getting drunk with the hosteller, costing him 2 CLA loss.The next morning, down some SPI and CLA, the Company set out. They looked at the mountains on their map, and decided to head along the eastern bank of the south-east flowing river.</blockquote>
