"We seem to have two options at this point: Pull in the outriders and just head on to Rosedown, or pull in the outriders and put together an elite expedition to try to track the attackers and avenge our men.

In my opinion, we should do the latter. If the enemy had overwhelming force, I think they would have attacked the caravan already. For all that we know, this could be the work of a lone orc. If we find no tracks, we shouldn't waste time away from the caravan, so we'll just move on with the caravan.

I'll grant that it has risks: the possibility of blindly walking into an ambush, and leaving the caravan less well guarded. So I won't press the point if few here agree.

The final decision rests with you, Captain Sky, of course" Heinz says.

" Theoretically we could also backtrack to Riverton, cross the river there, and then head North to Rosedown. But I imagine our pursuers will continue to harry us, and if they understand our purpose, attack in force, " says Tetke.

"I agree with you Heinz. If we leave them behind, that's one more group who could attack Rosedale." says Catylina.

Burning Homestead

As the party discusses its next move, a young rider hits the camp on a heavily leathered farm horse . Help Help, he cries, they are attacking our homestead. they hit before we could light the beacon. Glancing up and backward from whence the young rider came you do indeed seem grey smoke beginning to form a plum in the air

 

[Kaodi]

Turning his horse in the direction of the smoke, Tetke asks hurriedly, " What are the ' they ' ? What is attacking your farmstead? "

"It could be a rouse to leave the caravan undefended." says Catylina "If it is a rouse then their leaders will hit the caravan, so we should stay here. If its a genuine attack, the leaders will be with them, so the stewards should go. What to do, what to do. I hate strategy." The latter was more muttering aloud than addressing anyone.

Edoryan whistles and makes a quick gesture with his hand, and Nonios takes to the air, flying off in the direction of the homestead. The ranger turns and calls out to his sergeant. "Kolthar, keep careful watch. There are enemies close." He then turns to the Captain. "Captain Skye, with your permission I request to depart immediately to investigate this attack. I will go alone, if need be."

 

[kinem]

"With your permission, Captain, I'll go too" Heinz says.

 

[Rhun]

Edoryan nods, and claps Heinz on the shoulder.
