| Dae listens carefully to Gia and Tazeed bartering back and forth, while she issues orders to her surviving army. When she has had enough she tells Gia she will give her a one hour start to seek the safety of the city walls before her forces move on the city. After she leaves to organize the attack Gia and Tazeed can speak for the last time. For all of the information he has freely given he asks that she speak his name before death. He will come to her and fulfill his promise to kill her. | Dae listens carefully to Gia and Tazeed bartering back and forth, while she issues orders to her surviving army.

| - | As Gia heads back to [[atlas:Bornheim]] she sees the [[orgs:Reavers]] break into two groups. The largest group continues on towards the city while a smaller and faster group heads up to the [[atlas:Fuldelf Ridge]]. She manages to reach the rivergate before the bulk of the Reavers arrive. Her warning about the danger to the south is not believed until a Captain Leonard of the River Guard arrives on the scene. He believes her story and asks her to accompany him to speak with his superiors. | + | As Gia heads back to [[atlas:Bornheim]] she sees the [[orgs:Reavers]] break into two groups.

| + | Nigel, pushed to his limits by what has transpired over the last few days, leaves the city to help save his sister. Traveling with him is Larthian, and elven hunter. Near a destroyed smithy outside of the city the two of them spot a small outpost. Three [[orgs:Bloodletters]] relaxing when they should be on watch. He slips up to one of them and kills him before he can even wake. Larthian takes the other with a well-placed arrow, but the third shouts a warning before he is killed as well. From out of a small building comes a man dressed in white robes stained with blood. Some force turns both Larthian's arrows and Nigel's blade when they try to kill him. | ||
| + | The priest gestures and the living dead come shambling outside of the buildings and swarm over the elf before he can react. Nigel presses the attack and eventually overwhelms the priest. The undead collapse and although Larthian is saved he has been grievously wounded. After binding the elf's wounds Nigel turns and tortures the priest for information. It took him several hours, but he eventually got what he needed. | ||
| - | <- campaigns:Is All Hope Lost|Previous^ campaigns:Revolution|Master Page^ campaigns:Placeholder4|Next -> | + | The large force of Reavers heading north are a feint. They intend to turn around and fall upon the ship-builders. A much smaller force lead by their new [[lore:Danshi#Blood Priest]] intents to scale the ridgeline and fall upon the city from the south. That passage is believed to be too dangerous to move any sufficient number, but such fanatical warriors will try anything for [[lore:Danshi]]. While Larthian returns to the city to rely the message, Nigel runs towards the Reaver encampment. |

| + | Newfound power courses through his body as the miles fall away. He overtakes the smaller force heading south and stands atop the remaining wall of a burned out farmstead as Dae's horse passes by. She invites her brother to join her - to undo all of the harm that he has done for her - allow her vision to finally be wrought - the vision of their parents. In a whisper she tells him that she is shedding as much blood as she can in the hopes of summoning Danshi herself. She has a weapon that can kill even a god - a knife of shadow and lies. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He pleads with his sister to turn aside from this path. The blade cannot save her - it cannot kill a god. Set down the ruinous lives of their parents. To forgive the pain and suffering he has caused. When Tazeed pulls up on his horse Dae replaces the mask on her face. She thanks her brother for letting her see the truth of the world. Nigel watches as her sister and those Reavers most loyal to her head towards the mountains. | ||
