Alyssa looked up at Jemali, and after a moment consideration replied "No. Infact, you're quite early. I trust you already know Erenos?" she pointed to an elf standing beside her, holding a map unfolded on the table. Erenos was the archer captain, although his troop numbered only 9 men, it was the only professional military force in the group, and Erenos was the closest thing to a military tactitian, next to Alyssa. "Yes, offcourse. I bid you a good morning, Jemali. We were examining the map of the town and the surrounding area. Care to see? the good-mannered elf moved a step, allowing Jemali a place at the table. Alyssa proceeded to explain things on the map "I have sent scouts last night to inform us of any change since this map was made. This is the direction we are coming from, and this here is the town of Giller's Port, the river Fidre flows on the far side of town. The town is the only bridge over the river for more than a week riding in both directions..." As she was explaining, sounds of horses and commotion could be heard from outside, as well as shouts calling for Alyssa. Alyssa moved over to the tent entrance, saying "The scouts? They're due to come back around now, but..." and she froze. Looking at the scouts, she realised they were in a battle, and she quickly rushed out of the tent. "What happened!? You were attacked? By who?" Men gathered around to help the three scouts get off their mounts. One had an arrow in his shoulder, but was otherwise alright. One, however, didn't seem to have any physical injury, but was as pale as milk, and incredibly cold to the touch. He was shudering as tho he was in the coldest mountain in the north. The uninjured scout started explaining "We came close to the town at night, and we saw lights around it, and tents. It looked as if it were under siege. We tried to get closer, to try and recognise the banners or markings, but several men attacked us, and we never even saw them coming... We rushed out of there, and only when we were several hundred feet did we notice that Will was not with us... we must have left him, or he might have escaped the other way.." visibly shaken, tears welled up in his eyes.
OOC: the group lacks any trained medical help, so whoever feels able might try and help the injured scouts.
