[Report] Close Threats

[Warren Marshall]

Guardsmen,

Under the cover of darkness, the following men didst follow me into the orcish fortress to the south:

• Friar Marshall - Leading

• Friar Dagorian

• Friar Vandrik

• Sergeant Grayner

• Recruit Jaekel

• Recruit Darkeyes - Dismissed & Sought for disciplinary action

By order to recover coins and scrap metal, we didst tether our pack mule to the trees north of the fortress, and ventured forth cutting through the orcish hordes, taking what coin and scrap metal we couldst find, and any herbs for Sister Edith. 'Pon reaching the docks we didst venture back and seek to escort the mule within the fort to collect what metal we coulst not carry, only to find the foolish Recruit Darkeyes hath lured a number of orcs upon it in his cowardly retreat. He is sought by the Church to answer for this mistake and shalt pay the price of ten lashes and 300 coins, as such a beast of burdon didst not come cheap! Perhaps marks 'pon his back shalt make him less careless in future, for it couldst be a fellow man who falls due to his incompetence...

The men fight through the orc fortress and return unscathed

From what we couldst salvage, the following was retrieved:

A number of ingots were salvaged, amongst other resources and herbs

As thou canst see, this is no small catch and I doth request guardsmen art more mindful of salvaging scrap metal 'pon patrol; infact, I doth suggest thou all purchase a bag and hand it to a smith, or Squire when thou canst. These ingots shalt prove invaluable in forging the new weapons of war.

14,148 gold coins were removed from the corpses, 4,148 for the army and 10,000 for the Church.

Brother,

As thou hast doubtless learned, 'tis one thing to face the spawn of the Guardian in battle, and another to lead men in such a battle.  As a soldier of the Lord, thou wilt find thyself often leading the Guardsmen against all manner of creature.  Thy leadership was most satisfactory. 

As thou hast learned, victory comes through discipline in battle.  The Recruit's actions were reckless and foolhardy.  The penances suggested by thyself and Friar Vandrik were most apt.
