The (Solo) Adventures of Solomon Kane

This is another Story chapter where the objective is to “Light Solomon’s path”. We are fortunate in that due to the major success in the previous chapter we start with two light tokens already. So with luck this should be fairly easy. BUT of course it depends on what Darkness throws at us with the random cards.

Solomon Kane finds himself back in the office of Magistrate Lowes, along with Thomas Downes.  It is a stark contrast to the filthy, bloodstained cells that lie below. The magistrate sets his quill in the inkwell and regards the pair expectantly.

“Well, Master Puritan, have you any new proof to challenge the conclusions of the Witchfinder General?”

“Aye, sir, we do,” says Kane confidently. “And the proofs lie herein, in your very office, upon yon bookshelf.”  Kane steps across the room to a shelf and selects a volume, opening it, “See here.”

Kane proceeds to relate the details of his interviews in the cells and how the passages in the books prove the women’s innocence. Downes stands nearby, beaming with admiration at Kane’s sharp intelligence.

At last the magistrate sits back and heaves a sigh. 

“Aye sir, ‘twould seem a great injustice has been done here.”

He picks up his quill and a fresh sheet of parchment and quickly pens a pardon for the people held in the cells, then drips wax on the page and impresses it with his seal. 

“Now, what say we pay this Witchfinder General a visit and see what he has to say for himself?”

The chapter process well and I fully complete Solomon’s path, thus giving three stat changes. I increase Strength by 2 and decrease Danger by 1.
