The Fiefdom of Southmoor
The Captain holds up his hand slowing the questions coming in, although obviously not a lot. He smiles, looks to the elf and then back at the group.
"I apologize, I had not thought to introduce myself, I am Captain Randall Nocus Knight of the Wolf.
The reports are no doubt connected to why you are here, at best it seems enemy forces are probing some of the out of the way homesteads. By the gods no fatalities as of yet just very spooked people who are in my care. Also none of the reports are in the area where you will be going, so it should not be a problem.
As for our smithy Master Dwarf, if you would like to use it I will have one of my men introduce you to the garrison smith. I can't say you will be allowed to use it as it is his and he is a cantankerous person. He may welcome the help though as I have had him and his lads working some extra time to make sure weapons and armor are in good shape should things come to pass.
In regards to the strength of the forces here, I cannot give that exact information but you are free to walk around the garrison and ascertain for yourself. My reason being should you be caught I cannot have specific information of that nature falling into their hands. Suffice to say you will be safe if you can make it back to our border. There will be scouts and scout riders every day patrolling, looking for you return.
Potions of healing I am not sure if any of the men might have those, but I can have word put out and pigeon sent to my Lord, they may have some there. Is there any other questions if not I will get you situated for this evening and have you Master Dwarf brought to the smithy."
Captain Randall waits for anything else to be said if nothing he sends you on your way.
