What:We all met up at the barracks on Vinces orders. Once all assembled he ordered us to Force march to the moongate.
Assembling up outside the moongateWe then moved on to Ilshenar or more closely, to the lands of compassion, the virtue of Cove. We marched south of the moongate, but where immediately attacked by some crazy golden Ratman. Silly thing died quickly.
The dead rat regrets its actionWe marched through the lands of Ilshenar suffering attacks from both savages, demons and madmen. Another golden one attacked us and we got to discover the truth about Yewish women.
The womenof yew show their true face (aspect of ugliness rather) to us, and we get attacked by yet another golden devil.crushing all opposition with ease the guardmen advanced into a jungle where the sounds of wild animals and strange bird was hear...We ran across the path of some Juaks, who where duly terminated by the men. Then the buzzing of the jungle suddenly went quiet and we ran out into a fort...Was this what we had marched for, but we soon discovered that the entire fort was infested with ratmen, a whole tribe of them. Fighting close in formation the Covians took on many times their numbers without casualties too. Again we see the superiority of the Covian Forces.
The jungle and the ratmen fortAfter cleaning out the fort we were told by Vince to move on as this wasn't the outpost we where looking for. We moved more cautiously this time, and suddenly the jungle sounds disappeared around us.
We only heard a roar before a strange knight mounted on a sort of huge reptilian charged out of the foilage and into the stunned guardsmen. We summoned quickly though and struck the rider out of his saddle, killing him when he touched the ground. The mount however fought on but was quickly beaten down.
The dragoon attacksThen finally, we reached our objective. we spread out and began searching the outpost, finding it in surprisingly good condition.
At last!
The ground floor
The first floor
The roofBeneath the quiet surface, we discovered some rather disturbing caverns, inhabited by mad mages and ratmen. We discovered two unnerving things. Firstly a stable which could easily accommodate the dragoon that attacked us earlier, and their water source which we duly poisoned. Judging that an outpost on top of all this would be clearly too dangerous we returned to Cove with a only partially completed mission.
The truth beneat the surface...FOR COVE!
