Close enough to benefit from easily hearing Rafael call out the cavern further up the beach, Selzurius and Stannig were among the early arrivals just behind the man with the dog. As others straggled towards the mouth of the cave, the old man saw another of the mercenaries, Garik, cutting down...
Even the old sorcerer had to admit, he'd not expected fucking trebuchets getting the drop on their small section of the Tychen fleet. With a little warning he might have done something to deflect or defuse the urns of zealous fire that fell upon the three scout ships, or perhaps he lacked such...
