Moor-Rescue- Mundane- Shepherdess-(Faery-Giant)
When setting out on Adventure Sir Blaewen sets his horse to the South towards the Moors. After 3 days of riding through the wilderness (with no random encounters) he hears the screams of a damosel in distress and rides to a vantage point. There he spies a Giant (I rolled STR x5 and got = MR 75, 8d+38 ) pursuing a shepherdess with bad intent. A giant of this size is clearly beyond Sir Blaewen's ability to kill in a straightforward fight, so he decides that he will attempt to surprise the Giant and land a free attack. I make a 2nd level SR vs DEX and succeed. He also attempts to hamstring the brute, thus settling the matter. His SR vs Swordsmanship fails and so Sir Blaewen sneaks up on the Giant from behind and drives his sword deep into his torso (reducing the Giants MR to 40 something ) . Blood flows in buckets from the giant who turns, swinging a club wildly and knocks Sir Blaewen back. The Knight takes 4 points of damage, after armor. He stands and dodges the giant's next swing (SR3 vs DEX due to armor), and then strikes another hard blow against his enemy (reducing the Giant another 20 some points). Failing his next attempt to dodge, Sir Blaewen stands back and calls to the suffering Giant. He offers his mercy if the giant will leave the shepherdess alone. A 2nd Level SR vs the Persuasion Trait was made and succeeds. The giant grunts his assent and limps off into the depths of the Moor.
Notes: I gave Blaewen many opportunities to utilize his Traits since that was the only way he would have a chance to defeat it.

III. The Castle of the Lady
Sir Blaewen was taken by the Lady and her company to her castle, several miles to the East. There he was healed after a long rest... She asked of him a boon, to defeat the Lord of the XX, at his domicile some miles from there.
Before the next adventure I will roll on the (soon to be created) Romance table.
