Sir Olbram of Losiny isn't exactly the best knight, but his mother told him to go out and duel maidens and save bandits (or something), so that's what he's going to do.

The Riddler[]
The Riddler (no, not that one) bets that Henry will not solve his riddles, and is willing to bet 5 that you'll get the answer wrong.
Trader[]
A trader approaches Henry and offers him a treasure map for 80 , non-negotiable. If Henry asks where he got the map and why he doesn't get the treasure himself, he will reply that he looted the map from a dead trader's wagon and is too afraid to wander the wilderness for the treasure given the current state of the realm. Buying the map gives a reputation boost.
Wayfaring Knight[]
Usually found at a crossroad or along the length of any main road you can take between large settlements, the Wayfaring Knight is a honourable man who will gladly duel you for honor. This man is the very opposite of Olbram, the Fainted-hearted Knight, in that he actually knows how to fight well, and is indeed just as well, if not better, armoured than him. He will fight with a Merchant's sword (longsword).
