An with the party swarming on the last hoghoblin, using their superior weapon skill he stood no chance as he falls quite dead.
End of combat.
As the party takes a minute to catch their breath a lound and loud Horn is sounded. The signal that is Given by the Captain to signal the retreat.
As the part starts falling back to the first rally point they can see in the distance a flying Wave of wyverns accompanying the first wave of foot soldiers.
The town of Drelin's ferry is empty. Houses stare vacantly out at silent Roads. Town speaker Wiston takes a deep breath and wipes tears from his eyes It seems we are about out of time he says We'd best be going now if we want to keep ahead of the worg riders as the last of the militia enters the first rally point
Captain Soranna nods to you You've already done us good, heroes You have saved many lived. For that you have my thanks. But i am afraid your work may not be done yet. there is nothing to stop the Red hand before they reach the walls of Brindol
The speaker continues We will head east untill we reach Terrelton. In the worst case we move to Nimo Gap and then Talar. We will run all the way to Brindol if we have to and that hoard sin't stopped before.
As the speaker move away the captain takes you all on the side:
What worries me most right now is the report from that lion's guard that the Old North Road and the Rhest Trail are blocked. If we are going to get reinforcements from outside of the vale, they will have to come in from that direction: North. Could you ride up there and find out what is going on. You could travel the old road north i can give you horses if you head east toward brindol and cross the Elsir River at Talar.
