Alric flees Madrigal

Military action

Shiver attacks Madrigal. Alric sends the Legion north to Tandem, then flees to the ship Vigilance as Myrkridia overrun the city.

Today [Alric] sent what is left of our army north to the city of Tandem. Their instructions were to gather as many able bodied men as they could along the way and wait for him in Tandem. King Alric is staying in Madrigal with a mere handful of men in order to make sure that no one is left behind. Only then will he withdraw from the city.   Our deepest fears have been realized. Soulblighter has found The Summoner and through him has unleashed the Myrkridia on the world. They are nightmare made flesh. Even men hardened by combat cowered in miserable terror at first sight of them. We suffered appalling losses getting his majesty safely onboard the Vigilance. Not a single man from the outer guard made it to the ship.
