After an evening of enjoying some downtime, the Protectors of the Pass returned to Gallo's Fend to prepare. Lord Gallo had some options for the party. While the bulk of the allied forces converged with Steppengard's army, the Protectors could act as a strike force and aid the effort in other ways.
The first option was to sabotage the siege weapons near the enemy camp. The second option was to take the fight a bit more directly. Joining Steppengard's forces was the court mage Thravanvost and his sphinx mount. His tent was set further from Steppengard's camp, affording the Protectors an opportunity to put the mage and his sphinx out of commission.
Breaking to discuss, the Protectors of the Pass prepared for what would most certainly be a dangerous and bloody dawn.
