War in the south puts Prince Charlemagne (and our humble squires) on the march across the Alps. What deadly hazards will they encounter in those snow-capped peaks, and what opportunities for heroism await them on the blood-soaked fields beyond?
The Battle of the Humble Squires continues, and there is much peril still to face. Later, the survivors of the battle learn a little more about their foes, and even find some common ground…before everything is swept out from under their feet.
The party has been split! Some of the knights have been taken captive by the Saracens, while others languish back at camp. How will they get out of this sticky situation?

Things take a turn for the strange this session as the player-knights wrap up their delicate negotiations with the Clermonts, get lost in an enchanted forest, and attend the most uncomfortable wedding ever…hosted by one of them!
In the wake of Pippin’s disastrous wedding feast, the group embarks (along with Charlemagne and his Paladins) on a pilgrimage to the east.
