Chapter 1, Day 5: The Council at Drellin's Ferry

Xara dashes forward and tosses two daggers at the lone worg. The first of the two hits the worg clean between the eyes and the creature falls to the ground. Twitches, and then lays still. The second dagger hits the dirt beside the now-corpse... Anyone that runs around the corner pursuing the hobgoblin riders finds they have fled a further 80 feet down the main road, heading towards the woods.

Pawetha finds a low shed that she is able to climb atop to gain access to the roof of a nearby building. From there she can see a good portion of the buildings on this side of the bank are alight, although the fires are being subdued and the air is filled with black smoke. She can make out several groups of riders and hobgoblins fleeing towards the woods from various parts of the city. Their and Sorana's teams resistance appears to have been sufficient to break the attack. She counts maybe two dozen foes in total fleeing.

Pawetha scans the area but does not see Sorana's forces. As she climbs down from the rooftop, however, she finds that Sorana and her soldiers - some of whom look noticeably injured but all are accounted for - have already met up with her allies, "Seems to have been a small force, although it is a worrying event. This is the first time they've been so brave as to attack the village directly. When you returned I had assumed it was because you dealt with the hobgoblin threat. I take it, this event means you have not."

Sorana sheathes her blade, "The council will meet at daybreak, you'll probably want a few hours to eat and clean up." She turns to one of the men at her side, "Rally the soldiers, and double the watch on this side of the bank. If you see a hobgoblin or a worg, shoot it."
