We've got a problem.

A problem?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Oh yeah. Big problem.

[Filter: Landis Thorne]

[snowlilies]

That's not very specific.

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Yeah, I know. Short version of the story is that we were ambushed by our own people. Be careful; they may be going after you three next.

[Filter: Landis Thorne]

[snowlilies]

What?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Yeah, that's what I said when I realized who they were. Near as I can figure, a bunch of them didn't make it out of the city quick enough and sold out to Loputous to save their necks.

[pause]

How quickly have you been traveling?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

I thought we were moving pretty damn fast, to be honest, but we've picked up the pace some. Honestly, if I were you, I'd get out of wherever the hell you are now. We'll meet up somewhere else.

[snowlilies]

How did they get there before you?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Did you know we had a little fort out here?

[Filter: Landis Thorne]

[snowlilies]

Where, exactly? There are many small fortresses along the borders of Grandbell...

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Yeah, but I'm talking one for us specifically. Was right about over where the "x" is.

Are you sure it isn't just a regular fort?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

Probably was for all I know, but it had backstabbing rebels practically crawling all over it.

[Filter: Landis Thorne]

[snowlilies]

Do you think they were already at the fort?

[Filter: Valerie Winter]

[lost_thorne]

They might have been. I didn't get to see too much of it; second they got hold of us, we were thrown in a nice little cell. I have no idea how long they might have been there for.
