A hail from the darkness and the sound of horses is heard from the south , an army patrol from Faule has arrived, hours late for their escort duty. An enraged merchant stands on top of his wagon as people gather around...“Oh look! Our saviors have arrived!! Once again our ever reliable escorts from that sewer of Faule has arrived to protect us from the raiders!” the merchant yells.“Silence you!!, or I’ll arrest you for treason!” says a heavily armored soldier on horseback. “TREASON! If any should be arrested and hanged for treason, it should be you and your worthless men!” ( the crowd cheers, and faces off with the nervous soldiers.) “Every year the orks attack, and every year your cowardly men have managed to avoid the onslaught...we’ve had enough!" as the merchant yells this, the crowd begins to throw rocks, and mud at the soldiers....”Cease this or we will be forced to engage!” yells the armored soldier. The crowd continues it’s assault, and it looks as if the soldiers are readying to use lethal force to subdue the crowd....Once the crowd begins to raise their shovels, axes, and clubs in the air menacingly, the soldiers decide to leave the angry mob and head back to Faule....with the armored soldier saying this before he takes his men west.. "So be it, continue your journey to Faule without escort, and may Pelor & St. Cuthbert have mercy on all of you bastards!” With the soldiers gone, the merchant on top of the wagon announces this: “We have lost our wives, daughters, sisters, and goods to the raiders...the army won’t help us..I Heinrich Maler will see to it that any that are brave enough to get back our women and goods will be rewarded. I will pay 100 gold marcs in coin, goods, and services  to each man that tracks down the raiders, kills them, and returns our women and goods!” other men climb upon the wagon and add to his offer, making the total 400 gold marcs! Several men answer the call. The wagon train has also turned around and looks like it will head back to Vormarsch rather than continue on to Faule.</blockquote>
