Legend
Location: The Watchtower, 10 minutes to Nightfall
In the failing light, Corbo could barely see it as a wagon rolled to a stop across the bridge. Why didn't they use a lantern? Then he remembered - the driver could see in the dark with his orcish eyes.
"They're here, Tregg!" he nudged his companion, hunkered down behind the crenelation of the old stone tower. "No more half-rations on the grog!"
The night was going to be a cold one, as a wind had picked up, blowing from the south; funneled in along the winding river valley. Tregg shuffled his cloak tighter around his neck and glanced over his shoulder, "Signal 'em, then."
Corbo grabbed the large black-and-red flag from the stand, careful not to swing it through the torches, burning high on their poles. He waved it, slowly, back and forth. Far down below him, the wagon produced a flag of it's own and repeated the signal, a shout barely audible through the roar of the rapids flowing under the bridge came with it, "Feed the Beast!"
"Yep, that's them." said Tregg, who slumped back down behind the crenelation and closed his eyes, as if he would sleep.
Corbo put the flag back, raised no signal to the other guards and watched as the wagon, slowly at first but then more bodly, rolled toward him as the last of the day's light faded behind the peak accross from him.

"So far, so good!" smiled Lorenn, knowing his voice could not be heard over that distance, with the sound of the river. He skipped along on foot, on the driver's side of the wagon, unitil the driver, SnorLoska, gave him a no-nonsense look. Then he adjusted his helmet from where it rubbed at his half-elven ears, gripped his spear, and marched in the fashion of his "guard" disguise.
