Session II: Meeting Captain Hosni & Scoping the Town

General Summary

49 Flirel 429 PE

After defeating the "ununiformed brigands", the Mysterian Crew decided to use the Sorenian they captured as bait for any future Sorenian raids between their current position and the Western Encampment. Gash grabs the Sorenian by the collar and singes their eyebrows a little, his brief incredulous response withering into submission. Their position made clear, he rides out ahead. Within 3 hours, they've made it to the encampment. Riven and Hesior briefly investigate where Riven thought she saw something, but they're unable to catch up with whatever it was - Riven suspects a scout.   The guard at the entrance notices their approach, and Gash explains who they are, and the guard switches to Common. After giving custody of the Sorenian to the company, the party is introduced to Captain Hosni, of similar stature to Captain Bassam but far more outgoing. Resting up in the tent for the company's "sleepers", the encampment is briefly roused a few minutes later when Hesior's avatar shows up and dissipates as soon as it's attacked.   During the briefing, Captain Hosni brings up this occurence before explaining that his company has been unable to capture the town due to unexpected resistance in the form of a company of Sacred Knights of the Sovereign Temple. Faolan then suggests Hesior scout out the town with one of his avatars. Finding a ridge overlooking the southeast of the town, he hides just behind it and sends his avatar out. He finds the town abandoned, and partly defended by a roughly 10-ft moat. He returns, and reports back to the camp that it seemed as if their daily business was hastily abandoned, and there upturned hoes and still-warm mugs of tea. The Captain, his searjants, and the party then resume planning.
