Sanguine Sunrise #1: The Blockade

General Summary

Those who remain sit at a table in a tavern, waiting upon The Hunter to meet them. They sit in silence, Kiwi and Luthrin contemplating Luthrin's letter, but eventually Guy interrupts them and informs them of their task. He tells them to return to the keep and meet there employer there.
The group head off to the stables and speak to a stablemaster about acquiring three horses. They manage this and start to head off on their trek.
In their journey, the group comes across a blockade consisting of a clockwork ballista and clockwork soldiers. As the group runs at the ballista, it fires at them, killing Luthrin and Kiwi's shared horse, and Skek and Alex's shared horse. Skek creates spike around the ballista, attempting to trap it within them. However, the ballista moves through the spikes and, after harpooning Grimace, it drags him through the spikes with a rope attached to the harpoon, knocking him unconscious.
The group manage to slay the three clockworks and save Grimace in the end.
