Medieval Fort

The Medieval Fort is located in Transylvania. Charlemagne's Hand is hidden here.

The event starts with the crew being ambushed by the local militia after locating the surprisingly intact fort. The player may choose to skip the encounter, but this ends the event.

The Encounter consists of 2 Transylvanian Villagers, 3 Villagers, and 1 Justice Villager. The Encounter ends when all opponents are defeated, and has a different result based on the overall Mood the player ends the Encounter in: A failed skill check or an Aggressive result will end the event. Supportive and helpful crew members (such as Kwame and Pedrinho) will have a strong opinion on this. They gain a speech penalty for the rest of the expedition if the encounter is resolved aggressively, a speech bonus for a friendly result, and a penalty on the above Beguiler check. (but no further negative consequences for being Devious)
 * Friendly: the crew must pass a Diplomat:Negotiations check to gain access to the fort and 3 Campaign tokens.
 * Devious: the crew must pass a Beguiler:Astonishing check to gain access to the fort and 3 Campaign tokens.
 * Aggressive: the crew is denied access to the fort.

If the crew is granted access to the Fort, they will find Charlemagne's Hand there, and will gain 2 Study tokens as well.
