That quest, when it was finally evaluated by the magistrates, gave them points enough to wash away all thoughts of complaint from the stench of the bog. What would have ordinarily given them twenty instead gave them thirty-five.
Penelope had told them all that result proudly, with her chest puffed out. "I apologize for the inconvenience of the quest," she said. "But would you look at what Ser Grakus managed to fetch us, once he forced the magistrates to look at the quest properly? Those are almost the point rewards of a silver-quest!"
Even Vol had given a deep nod, pleased with the result. "We will have a silver-card soon enough," he declared. "We only need 200 points for it, do we not? We're close enough already. By the end of the week, when our quest with Thornhand is concluded, we should have it. And then it will be time again to increase the number of men that we have."
