Kelthorn, surviving the encounter, arrives back at the groups base. He sees an active infirmary, where commander Keith is talking with a staff nurse
Keith— ?
“Hey, you’re from the Mabel securement team.”
“Forget something?”
Kelthorn-
“We encountered…hah….”
“Group of Dragonborn…a warrior named Jagan…and a strange woman. They’ve been captured”
Keith— “Damn.”
narratorBOT — 03/22/2024 12:40 AMKeith’s eyes remain as glazed as ever
Keith—
“Looks like our progress has been halted on both ends.”
“I’m guessing you’re the only survivor.”
Kelthorn—
“I am, everyone else was captured. We have to mount a rescue operation, something to free the agents of our lord”
Keith—
“You’re exactly right.”
“Only issue is…We’re a little short-staffed at the moment” “Those reports about abnormal dragonborn ended up being factual.”
“Alot of my men have been injured from them having some sort death trigger that causes them to explode into acid, or other such elements”
Kelthorn—
“So, we do not have many to spare. Is there anything we can do?”
-Keith rubs his chin
-At the same time, a commotion can be heard, along with a neighing of horses
“Enemies are breaching the camp!!!”
Keith-
“Say, Kelthorn… Were you followed back to base?”
Kelthorn-
“It’s entirely possible. But last I saw them, they were all taking the others back to the main camp. The Dragonborn we encountered…they knew that we were sending a force to the city, it’s more likely that we have a spy…or a traitor, something”
-Kelthorn can eye a small force of dragonborn at the base perimeter
–
” All Elmwood forces, lay down your arms!”
“I am Lander, personal attendant of Mevora. I come bearing a message from my lady”
Lander-
” Kneel and be vanquished”

Kelthorn-
“He isn’t making demands, it’s surrender and die. Not surrender or die!!”
-Kelthorn goes higher up, to see what forces they brought as he proclaims
“We are a fortress, what army do you have?”
-Kelthorn sees the man upon a horse, along with 5 dragonborn similar to the ones encountered on the road
– “Mmm, is that an elf?”
-He also notices from those words, a woman amongst them, with her own horse, soot black in color.
– ” I want that one as a new servant!”
Lander- “…That’s not what our orders are.”
– ” Pah, speak for yourself boy”
–
“Noone commands Shandri of the murderlance!’
