The day after Cove's initial visit, and the brave men rallied once more to visit the unwelcoming lands of Vesper to offer aid and support to the people where needed. Knowing their reception would likely not be a kind one, as the confused fragments of the militia, and lunatic fringe anarchist groups roamed the streets, the men were carried weapons, ready to restore peace, but travelled under strict instruction to suppress, not kill, any attackers. Upon arrival, we visited the Swaggers, previously barricaded and overflowing with paranoid horsemen, now seemingly open for business. There were still paranoid horsemen. We offered aid, but were met only with the stern face of the remaining militiamen, confused as to what had actually happened in the last few days. "We have everything under control" was their only answer.

Leaving on our way, escorted by a representative from what stands as the Vesperian leadership, we were taken on a guided tour by Mister Lucas Drachen. More receptive to our desire to enforce law and order, he assisted in the safe demolition of a carefully located boatbomb, and designated an area of Vesper that we could temporarily claim, accidentally set fire to fortify, and dispense aid from.

A surprising thing we did see, however. Trinsician guardsmen, under the guise of a helping hand, had fortified the island responsible for providing food to the Vesperian citizens and military. The barricades, stretching across the road, were there for their own protection, they claimed. Not much protection needed, I think, from the poor and hungry.
