You wake with a start, the metallic taste of blood and salt still in your mouth. Looking down the line of troops, their exhausted faces beg for reprieve, but a few blessed hours of sleep is all you can afford for now. You are only half way to Raven's Reach and there are still miles and miles of deadly, unrelenting Deepwood to traverse. Your presence here will only attract more beasts and nightmares to your caravan the longer you tarry. Another attack like the one suffered by the Wyrm could sap whatever courage and hope remains of the army. You need to get back on the march.

Your numbers have dwindled since leaving Verum, the Deepwood claiming lives with every mile you cover in this hellish domain. You can only hope there will be enough of you left at the journey's end. As the soldiers gather to your muster call, they bring forward a stash of weapons and gear that had been found hidden in the rubble. Despite untold years of exposure to rain and rot, the equipment is in excellent condition. You could take the items for yourself, or distribute them among the army, no doubt increasing their morale.
