AMBUSHED

Galion The Blue Barons scribe

With the fall of central powers nothing is safe these

days, the neighboring Barons who once sat at your
feasting table’s, are now greedy to take whatever
lands they feel they have the power to seize. Your
cherished plans of building a peaceful fruitful bar-
ony must now turn to battle strategies and war
preparations. So you and a contingent of rein-
forcements are going to fortify an outpost on the
borders of your northern lands. For the Red
Baron whom you fear the most, borders that region
of your land, knowing invariably that outpost will be
the first staging point for his future attacks ,he has
already tried to take it five years ago, with numer-
ous siege engines and was able to tear down sev-
eral wall sections, but your men won that day(with
some help from the King) and drove him back
across the river. Work in these hard times goes
slowly to rebuild it, thus you want to see the pro-
gress as you have heard mixed reports, so you are
going to accompany the reinforcements in person,
As you climb over the hills down into the valley en-
joying the beauty of the two white capped towering
peaks along either side of the valley, You were
born and raised in the North in a village not far
from here. So this part of your kingdom is precious
to you, precious with memories, such beauty such
Sir Hargel Historian of the Red baron
Long have you sat in your dark halls lusting for
the lands across the river that foolish Baron
wasting all his treasure on making the life of mere
commoners easy! what perversion!! He lowers
taxes and builds schools, how sick is that!! Now
with the fall of central powers your neighbor lands
is ripe for the taking, No arrogant king with his big
army to stop your plans now.
Your spy’s tell you that the nice little Baron is
sending reinforcements to the outpost nearest
your borders. You had already been making bat-
tle plans to take His fortress, this time , its yours
as you need it as mustering point on his side of
the river. So you decide to set up an ambush on
his side of the border where he would least expect
it,
