a short patrol to the north
guard leading patrol :
guardsman recruit Yenril Darkeye
attending :
Guardsman recruit Taybard Jaekel
Guardsman recruit Jane
After the training Yenril told us about the scorpions who lived in the desert north and suggested we took a patrol there to thin out their numbers. These creatures can do a lot of damage with theur poisoned tail and already many travellers were killed by them . So we prepared ourselves and headed north over the road , where we dealt swiftly with the monsters trying to stop us. After a few miles we suddenly were ambushed by a great gang of bandits , who had been hiding there to rob anyone passing. But this time they made a huge mistake , as it were no innocent and defenseless travellers passing by but a group of welltrained Covian soldiers. We quickly made them see the error of their way and wiped out the whole group , leaving their bodies on the road as a warning to all others trying to pull misschief on Cove's soil. We then continued our way to the desert , where we started to kill as many scorpions as we could find. Our metal armour protected us well against their tails , making them fall with the dozen. Soon the sand was covered with their corpses. Seeing that there was no danger anymore i asked to be dismissed and left the other two behind to deal with the remaining scorpions.
