Answering the Call

21:15 Preparations
 
After the fire incident, I’ve been asked to join Radmac Snowson, Hadollof Obici, Taranis Skoll, Boaz Hamison and Neris on a patrol.
 
I can’t deny there is a fear inside me. The stories of the danger these men have faced are legendary and the evils out there seem so overwhelming. I must do my best to put on a brave face. Our citizens need me but this darkness threatens my spirits. Perhaps I can borrow money for a few supplies to ease my concerns...
 
There are shouts for help coming from the Tillerman farm. There is no more time for decisions, we must rush to their aid.
 
21:30 Arrival at the Tillerman Farm
 
The farm is scattered with chaos and the the farmers told us a terrifying story of walking skeletons. They can’t be telling the truth...can they? Some of them do have pretty serious injuries...
 
Taranis and Handollaf went inside the house to heal some wounded farmers while the rest of us work on fortifying the defenses around the farm. I’m ashamed to admit I am having some difficulty creating a barricade. It has been a while since I last used my carpentry tools, so I guess I am a little rusty.
 
Boaz rode off on his horse to scout the area until he realized he wasn’t able to see anything. Before he came back to help with the barricades, he left a torch out in the trees as a distraction...I fear that it will not work.
 
The barricades are heavy and don’t want to move. It seems like it will take a great deal of time to get them into a defensive position. I hope it will not be too late...
 
We finished setting the barricades in place and it is beginning to get dark. While the others are setting up torches, Radmac is setting up some traps. I plan to light up my shield as a beacon of hope. Then there will be nothing left to do but wait.
