While everyone is a lazy bugger, I am certainly not. I head off to the Altmere Outpost and saw it fit to strengthen it once more. All by myself, I built up the sentry. It took me a while and I had to be super careful! Like, did I ever tell you how I lost my fingers?! I was minding my own business, hammering together some crates, then all of a sudden BOOM! The nails exploded and ripped them of. True story!
After I finished building, two figures stepped on me from south. One of them was a known Watchman, the other was apparently his son. I didn't know there were other families in the army. Other than the Kereseseses. And Easons. And Shadowhands. And Meliors...
In any way, they arrived just in time for the second part of my plan...
We ventured to Destard, the cave filled with big dragons with even bigger teeth! Slowly and cautious we entered their Den and valiantly fought our way through their fire and flames.
Needless to say, the recruit had some trouble fighting them off, but we succeeded until...
Until we got surrounded! Countless fire breathing lizards around us, even some of those ancient big ones. A grave mistake on my account for loosing track of my surroundings. After things seemed a bit harsh for us, I ordered a tactical retreat with all the gold and leather in our pockets.
We head home to Cove where we counted our collected leather and coins. Needless to say, we did gather more than enough for re-equipping the Scouts. And enough gold to buy loads of milk. More than we could ever imagine!
A fine Covian display of skill, all done in a fine afternoon.
