On December 8th, two men wandered into the outer defenses of Fort Bramble.
One, Ulic, was not long for this world, but his companion, Prnicip, shared their story. They had left their homes in the south with many in search of rumors of safety to the north. They did not travel alone, it seems a small group of the common folk from his area had attempted to reach the lands to the north.
They managed to evade rotlings and brigands only to be set upon by a single wold which almost spelled their doom. It killed many of them before they could bring it down, and they eventually took refuge in a narrow ravine.
They were found there by some Forest Runners who told them where to find Fort Bramble, but before the group could gather themselves and be on their way, they were attacked.
Orcs poured into the dead end ravine and the slaughter began. Princip was knocked unconscious and woke with Ulic on top of him. He left before the battle was over, dragging Ulic with him. He reported the ravine to be less than a days hard march from the fort.
After talking briefly with the others manning the fort, Veros, Chan and I left to check on the possibility of survivors.
