A boy from one of the farms furthest north came riding into the village square. He was covered in dried blood and had ridden his pony nearly to death. The village elder, Jonas, helped catch the boy as he collapsed out of his saddle. When asked what had happened they were able to get out of him that an orc raiding party had come from the north and was attacking the farmsteads and heading in this direction.

Urick gets there first and kneels down to help tend the boy with Jonas.
"Elder Jonas, what did the boy say? He looks like he's seen his own death"
"Forgive my disent elder Jonas but the boy has nearly killed himself getting here to warn us. If we are not in a position to deal with this raiding party we would serve time better trying to prepare to evacuate here rather than trying to figure out where this raiding party is"

"We might be able to set some traps to slow them down but we should work on evacuating those who cannot defend themselves now"
Wendall and Kincade start leaving town, with Brook following along.
"I can do more productive things in this town than chase a suicide mission" he claims as he goes to see how the boy is
Jack and Book realize that it may be in best intrests to keep good numbers and jog along behind kincade and wendall
