A detachment of Covian guardsmen headed to Stonekeep this eve upon hearing that the Yewish had taken several Vesperian prisoners and that the Republic had declared war on Yew. One of the prisoners in question was wanted in Cove on charges of spying and the guardsmen went to secure her into custody.
However as the band of Covians, led by a single Waywatcher entered Stonekeep the prisoner they had come to secure had escaped Yewish bonds and was legging it up the road. As Cove's guardsmen ventured further into the 'Keep a large Vesperian force was smashing into the Yewish militia.
Covian forces save Stonekeep from the Vesperian hordes.The Covians formed and armed up under orders from Commander Morana but did not engage. The Commander tried to reason with the overwhelming Vesperian force but the attack did not abate and thus, the guardsman of Cove were ordered to engage the rampant Vesperians.
One by one the red garbed warriors fell or fled until the Commander Morana and his men secured Stonekeep with the help of the few Yewish who were not bloodied and cleaved. As always the Covians did what was right. Defending the weak against the bully, even if it did mean helping the Yewish into the bargain.
Another Covian victory!
