After killing off Ellingsen a few times, the group decided to sneak around a corner. All classes have the stealth ability and became shadows of their former selves. But only the assassin is skilled so one of the less skilled alerts the monsters to their presence and they're off at a brisk pace. Ellingsen has had enough of death and wants to show off the mounts anyways.
War mammoths, war rhinos and horses. Ok, so currently you can only get the mammoth and rhino by pre-ordering but it is an interesting choice. The mass of your mount affects the velocity and impact of the hits you make when on your mount. One may be great for long distance travel; another allows for unique moves while mounted; and still another gives an advantage when sieging a battle keep.
The keeps - these are impressive, like a war rhino is impressive only times ten. Gaute has us warped to a rather sizeable piece of land where a "crafting village" can be built. The area will have resources, provide abilities to characters, and allow high-end equipment to be made; it will enable smithing, alchemy and the creation of temples. But first, it has to be built.
