Shadwell sent the word round that tonight we were to expand our Covian borders by building a blockade at the Vesper Crossroads.
We assembled outside and Shadwell gave to order to march. We head through the thick forest East and finally came to the familiar dirt path.
We assembled on the road and waited for the stragglers. All together we moved of down the road following it in a South Easterly Direction. After just a few minutes of walking we came to the Covian borders and the crossroads. The pack horse was tied to the tree and started to be unloaded. We paired off to do a patrol of the immediate area. All groups came back and gave the all clear and building the Blockade commenced.
Shadwell split the remaining soldiers not building into groups to scout a wider area to secure our Blockade. Shadwell lead a group to the North and North East.
All was clear apart from the odd Mongbat. So we headed back to base to help.
Shortly after our return the other scout groups came back giving the all clear also. A group of Soldiers were sent to find raw hides to seal the walls of the Blockade.
The Structure was getting stronger as the hides started coming in.
Finally after what seemed like hours of building the Blockade was finished and the finishing touches added.
I sat in with Arc and Shadwell and took down some notes of the evening so far. As everything was basically finished Arc pulled out two bottles of Ale for himself and Shadwell. Sentries were stood protecting our entrances.
Suddenly there was a disturbance outside and alot of shouting. We were under attack!
But swiftly Archers took down a familiar figure. Eben Roichar of House Falconberg. When he was shot down his friend retreated and we lost track of him.
I led him back to the cells with a group of soldiers and slung him into prison.
He wouldnt bother us further. We stood guard of him for a while, while the others came back from taking down our Blockade.
This expedition to expand had been a sucess.
Well fought by all.
Signed
Arkonios. Watchman.
