Episode Five: The Wolf Among Us
The following 24 hours pass by without major incident. Lyle manages to transport all interested in Oro's former home to the manor, and a list of requests is drafted. At the mention of Darius Grintome and the Badger, Lyle is overly excited to help. He sets out from the manor home with the promise of returning. The manor itself is set on the outskirts of the second ring of Fildegarne, nestled against the thick brick and mortar walls of the place with no back alley. The inside is dry and musty, with years of dust layering what would have been a moderately lavish home years ago. Nine rooms, four lavatories, a parlor, large kitchen, massive basement, and a grand dining room are all discovered and rummaged through. It will take some time, but the place has massive potential for providing a base of operations for the core groups missions.
Sypher and Beloc make their way through the city towards the front lines. Much of the guard within the walls has already moved forward, as the order to attack spread through the ranks quickly.
Upon exiting the front of the city, the grounds ahead are still very much ablaze. the charred corpses of mostly undead litter the ground in all directions. Those who were exceptionally strong still twitch and squirm, trying to regain some sense of mobility. The paladin and elf course their way through the carnage, providing the finishing touches on those who would still try to stand in defiance of the might of Fildegarne.
The scores of bodies are near impossible to number at a glance. Further ahead, over the trenches, the wreckage of PCA airships smolders with the occasional small explosion as unspent munitions cook off. One Fildegarian Marine stumbles past the pair in a daze of disbelief at the destruction.
Four hours into surveying the battlefield, a cheer begins to erupt from the main group of soldiers spanning the grounds. The realization that the worst seems to be over is setting in to the young and old alike.
As the sun begins to rise, the pair decide the heavy lifting is done enough, and head back for the manor.
Rest is had by all who need it. The past few day's events have been taxing on even the most stalwart of minds and bodies. What could pass for cozy spots are found within the manor, and the early morning wanes into noon before most are refreshed. Those slow to get moving are awakened by the smells of delicious foods.
