Attended by:Hoagie, Sergeant.
(leading)JT - Jon Trent, Junior Guardsman.
Ludwik Bloodaxe, Guardsman Recruit.
The sarge sent Ludwik and me to fetch some food from the forests while he set up camp at the forward outpost outside the gates of Cove. I returned with a skinned deer and sheep while the recruit brought back a skinned rat and more deer. Hoagie and i eyed the ratmeat dubiously but it all went into the pot while we kept watch over the gates.
Nothing much happened, just the drumming and yelling of the orcs drifting over the walls as we kept our spirits up by chatting and eating the "stew". We got ourselves accustomed to the new outpost and grabbed a little rest then they attacked.
A lone undead lured Ludwik away and two others attacked Hoagie who managed to bash one before being knocked off his feet. I fired from my vantage point at the remaining undead and battled him all around the outpost with axe and bow but eventually I too was knocked to the dirt.
More patrols and sentries are needed I think or we'll be overrun.
