It turns out to be Hans Baumer returning from the forest followed by a ragtag band of people, with fear in their eyes and their meager possessions on their backs.(OOC: From your short time spent in the small village, you all know that Hans is a local Woodsman who has been gone for a time and was feared dead.)Many of the townsfolk, including town leaders Captain Schiller, Father Dietrich, and the local midwife Granny Moescher, have gather to meet Hans just inside the town gate.The barrage of questions from the gathered townsfolk subsides when Hans makes a gesture for the crowd to quite down and begins his tale. “I’ve been scouting the surrounding countryside and picking up stragglers. These folk with me”—he motions to the refugees he’s brought to Untergard—“are survivors I found wandering in the woods. They came from villages all over Middenland.“As I was bringing them back, I found fresh Beastman tracks south of here. It looks like a warherd of over 200 strong is headed towards Untergard. I rushed back here to warn you.“I will of course defer to Captain Schiller but it is my feeling that we should leave Untergard before the Beastmen arrive. I don’t know if we could withstand them and there is no help to be had in time. I visited Grimminhagen six days ago and it’s a wreck. We can’t expect help from there. What else is new, eh? I must also report that while Grimminhagen was sacked, Graf Elster Sternhauer survived by hiding out in his keep.”At the mention of the Graf, many in the crowd boo. Even kindly Granny Moescher has a scowl cross her face.When the Woodsman is finished, Father Dietrich expresses his interests. “And where would we go? You cannot expect these people to make a nearly week long trek through the Drakwald to Middenheim. I say we build up our defenses, send for aid from Altdorf or Middenheim, and weather the coming storm.”</blockquote>
