Nice adventure. I liked the open nature of encounters like the Champion, who wants to duel but not necessarily kill anyone.
I'm not sure if it is the font you used or everything being in bold. But I would reserve bolded text for specific things that I want to draw attention to.
One cool trick I found with drawing maps. If you put it in Paint.net or a similar program and crank up the contrast, it can create a cleaner picture. Might not work with graph paper though.
Good job though, looks fun to run!
