Completed First Tilt [05/04/2024] 3:00pm EST

Rhombus Army by Dominik Mayer

Advance scouts have been spotted within the Hinterlands, hunting hunters in the area in a vindictive detour. A party is being sent to meet them on the field and put the hunt to an end.

First event--tentatively dated for Saturday at 3:00pm EST. If not enough people can make it, we can reschedule! Let me know in the comments.

Primarily martial, but stealthy hijinks and traps are welcome.​

I am gone until 6, good luck soldiers.

I don’t think I’ve got anything going on tomorrow, I’ll show up!

 

[TheDeester]

One hour!

 

[TheDeester]

15 minutes!

The raid upon the raiders led to a litany of spared foes and two rescued hostages.

Captured foes:

• Sir Percival the Pale/Perce the Impaler: A former tourney jouster, unhorsed by Halvar following Halvar's own unhorsing. His right leg is left crippled following their encounter. Anhalder, a lesser knight turned cultist in pursuit of glory.
• Denwic: A man with a severe headwound, left by Andrew's throwing dagger. Once a brigand from Storm's Landing, he turned to the cult when he was no longer in need of coin and sooner longed for the thrill of battle.
• Peonya: A woman marred by mending wounds; injured by Marley, kept alive by Marley. Ties to Aori, left during the surge of undead. Her brush with death has awakened some virtuous turn to Shalherana--or perhaps she merely says as much.
• Wiress: A woman shot by an arrow, knocked unconscious by Gunter. A former smuggler from the Ashlands, helping shepherd resources to either side of the blockade at Linlea. She craves a return to the sea, dissatisfied with the "grass ocean" of the Hinterlands.
• Maulen: A patrol, initially intent on killing or torturing Andrew until the tables were turned. Surrendered to Sir Gunter. Ka'ar, with a common lilt in his accent. Left his Ordon in his youth in search of an outlet for violence.

Rescued hostages:

• Timour: A younger man, fearful and meek. He is excessively flighty, having witnessed the torture and death of every other hostage.
• Turlan: An older man, beaten severely. According to Timour, he would deliberately mouth off to divert the raiders' harsh torture.

Maulen, Timour and Turlan all trace from the Snow-Deer Horde, with the raider Maulen and hostage Turlan remembering one-another.
