Morien scowls at the news of the Lady's death. "At least we can do some good by saving her daughter." In private, out of the earshot of the prisoners, he would...

Cadfannon is dispatched, with escort, carrying a message for the Earl on his person. Cynwall goes out to rally the folk to your aid. Trusting that the...
... "Have a safe and swift journey squire!" calls Gwair as Cadfannon departs, "Go in the speed and strength of the Risen Son to the Earl. Send him our regards...
