[Western] Captain's Report

[muirghein]

Unto Baron Gavin, Seneschal of Trelac, does Lady Muirghein MacKiernan,
Captain of the Civic Guard of Trelac send greetings from the field.

 

As you know, the Guard was dispatched to investigate reports of an
encroaching wall on our new lands of Crossroad Keep, the gentle ladies of
this fair land being afraid for their safety, with so few warriors to
protect them. It is my unfortunate duty to relate what we found. 

 

Upon our arrival, it became obvious that reports were grossly
underestimated. A large wall was even then being constructed of stone and
mortar by men claiming to be surveyors and engineers, though they wore large
swords on their belts. We, of course, immediately questioned the purpose of
the wall and upon whose order it was being built into our lands. Rather than
answer our just questions, these brigands attacked! It was a fierce fight,
one that traveled, unfortunately onto the lands of our good friend Centurion
Gerold. I am sad to say that the enemy was using flaming arrows for their
archers and it appears that the good Centurion's home was caught in their
sights. Though, I must confess, if confuses me as to how stone caught fire
so quickly. During this fight, we saw that the brigands had stolen a large
herd of donkeys that are so important to our people. It seemed the good
Gerold had very few men nearby to either help put out the flames of his home
or help us round up what was left of the herd, though he wasn't clear where
his men were. 

 

It is my intention to remain for a time, to assist the good Centurion until
his men return, though I am not sure how long we will be welcome. Somehow
your colors were painted on his walls and there is some argument over who
the donkeys belong to, now. I believe, my lord, that Trelac is being set up!

 

I send this missive by my most trusted aid-de-camp, Seoras. I have cautioned
him to take care in reaching you safely, as I believe there may be enemies
still in our lands who may try to do him harm. I pray this reaches you
before the foul rumors that I am sure will abound.

 

In service to Trelac,

Lady Muirghein MacKiernan, Captain
