Chapter 2: Signs of a Deeper Evil




After finding out about the Radlaw Bandits, Barkindor and Carmiriel made swift preparations. They didn’t waste any time.
They climbed the hill to get a clear look at the camp. Barkindor studied the camp silently while Carmiriel pointed out the lookout for him to take a quick shot.

They decided to strike from the north. Barkindor silently shot the lookout with one clean arrow.

As soon as the path was clear, Carmiriel rushed in without fear. She moved like a flash through the camp and facing two of the captain’s guards.
Carmiriel struck them down almost instantly, the guard captain shared the same fate, falling before he even had a chance to turn back.

When it was over, they started searching the leader’s tent and found a bloodstained note.

The note was clear.

It showed that the bandits had ties to the Uruks at the Old South Road Camp.

This bandit camp was part of something darker, something reaching deeper than they had expected.

Without delay, they decided to ride for the Uruk camp, hoping to find out the truth and to put an end to it once and for all.
