Additional information on Miss Masteen: [Heavily redacted] the drunken.

I used my arcane powers to lift her body from the intoxication a bit and protect her from organic damage.

It seems she had been given either high percentage beverages or poisoned ones out of malice by a third person. Be very careful! We don't know what or who distributes these kind of drinks.

Forgive me, Ilyana. What I meant to write was.. OH! LET'S TELL EVERYONE WHO THE DRUNKEN BUT STILL ATTRACTIVE CITIZEN IS..!
Gah.

Anyway, thank you for taking care of her.
It concerns me that she was drinking with someone else. This now makes the lady in question a victim. We may have someone in the vicinity of Cove that gets women drunk and then perhaps attempts to have his (or her) way with them. Commander Hoagie is out of town, so I'm all out of suspects!

Perhaps we need a line up.
Hmmmm.

Patrol of Compassion Desert - 8pm, Saturday 10th November 2018

Third patrol complete!

In Attendance
Serj Eason, Watchman (Squad Leader)
Raiden Morana, Captain
Ilyana Drachen, Senior Arcanist
Tyrael Styx, Junior Grenadier

Patrol Notes
* Prior to entering the desert we briefly discussed the whereabouts of Commander Hoagie Grayner. We came to the conclusion he has fallen victim to an under-cooked pie!
* The heat was unbearable!
* We dispatched countless numbers of scorpions and elementals.
* We happened upon some sort of 'sphinx' creature who gave out riddles.. As we didn't have enough of those at Sergeant Sanderson's Riddle Run!
* Made it to the Compassion Shrine and was assaulted by a band of orcs!
* On our return journey, Senior Drachen dropped us into a room with no doors..

Patrol of the Graveyard - 7.30pm, Sunday 11th November 2018

Fourth patrol complete!

In Attendance
Serj Eason, Watchman (Squad Leader)
Ilyana Drachen, Senior Arcanist
Carolin Kazami, Commoner

Patrol Notes
* We had reduced numbers this eve (and for the hardest patrol). So few we were that Carolin Kazami, an innkeeper by trade but keen with the bow, stepped in to represent a Covian militia of sorts..!
* We could not take back the Graveyard. The Bone Knights were out in force and we used some Covian engineering to make a dent in the Undead forces.
* Both the Citizen and Senior Arcanist Drachen performed well from this vantage point dubbed.. 'The Assault Post'!
* The Graveyard is OUT OF CONTROL. It is my recommendation to Command that further patrols are dispatched there, and in greater force.

Patrol of the Orc Fort - 9.30pm, Monday 12th November 2018

Fifth patrol complete!

In Attendance
Serj Eason, Watchman (Squad Leader)
Leanne Martin-Melior, Regular Scout
Carolin Kazami, Commoner
Rimeny De Blaze, Redguard Captain
Reg, Firebrand
Garrofi, Firebrand
Another.. mysterious Vesperian dressed in blue and black

Patrol Notes
* After an exhausting training session led by Redguard Commander Esca Flowne, the Vesperians were kind enough to accompany us Covians on a patrol to the Orc Fort as scheduled in the rota. We completed a forced march from the Vesperian border.
* A sea of Red and Tan assaulted, with the Orcs struck by the swiftness and severity of the attack.
* Before they knew what was happening it had already happened. FOR THE NORTH!
* On returning to Swaggers Inn to thank the Vesperians for their aid, it was revealed that one of them was a former Kaldorian soldier. I could not contain my outrage.. A murdering bastard is allowed to walk freely. I took my leave. This will not stand.

Serj packed his combat gear away in the Barracks. It had been a hard week. Five patrols completed; two more to go to complete Captain Morana's gruelling challenge of tightening security around Cove.
What Serj had seen on these patrols had weakened his resolve somewhat. Sometimes there were too few guardsmen on duty to make the country safe. Other times, the Covian soldiers were bested by a stronger enemy. However, on his way from the Barracks to Cove he happened upon a deer.
The deer looked calmly at Serj. It had not been caught and eaten by an orc or another wandering monster. It did not seem startled or flustered. Serj walked up to the deer, which still did not move. A fine meal, he thought. But, instead, he smiled at the deer - and he let it live.


Cove was becoming safer.

Patrol of the Covian Shire - 8pm, Tuesday 13th November 2018

Sixth patrol complete!

In Attendance
Serj Eason, Watchman (Squad Leader)
Sheriam Palmer, Junior Guardsman
Tyrael Styx, Junior Grenadier

Patrol Notes
* Junior Palmer and I constructed a sentry post to the south of the Graveyard, prior to the patrol, to increase Covian presence in the area and as part of the Building Base Watchman's Duty.
* We made some attacks on the Graveyard, engaging the Bone Knights. On one particular wave of attacks we came close to being overrun but OUT OF NOWHERE Junior Grenadier Styx appeared!
* After a few more waves, we patrolled the rest of the Shire - checking in on the Lakes and the Ruins. All was well.

Patrol of Covetowne - 8pm, Wednesday 14th November 2018

Seventh and final patrol complete!

In Attendance
Serj Eason, Watchman (Squad Leader)
Ilyana Drachen, Senior Arcanist
Sheriam Palmer, Junior Guardsman
Tyrael Styx, Junior Grenadier
Axiana Masteen, Patrician
Carolin Kazami, Commoner

Patrol Notes
* Turned up late to patrol dressed in my 'bard uniform'; had come from a gig in Minoc.
* We navigated Covetowne with the mantra, "Hearts and Minds". We engaged the citizenry with high spirits to boost local morale.
* Local citizenry had various errands that needed helping with. Some of them we saw to (Senior Drachen escorted a noble to Moonglow), others we couldn't assist too greatly (a bride that was left at the altar, terrible..!).
* Carolin had concerns over the Covian Bank and it's loan interest rates.
* Junior Palmer and I were perplexed by oddly stacked haybales.
* We finished the patrol atop the Covian Wall. Whilst it has been beaten up over the years, we stood watch.

All was well.
