Black Robe and Talking Bird have been taking action against the land-grab plaguing the Flan lands to the north of Iuz, the Horned Society, and the Bandit Kingdoms. While the followers of Angellus, Heironius, and Saint Cuthbert try to carve out bastions of law, order, and civilization while slaughtering orcs and their allies, those same followers are effectively co-opting the futures of Flan nomads in the area. The First Peoples of the Flanese have nowhere else to live and no place to call home. Reaching out to the elves of the Vesve, particularly Hannok's followers in Fangoria and King Tolliver's folk in Myrendelle, the Flan have formed a partnership with the elves to drive out the invading humans AND orcs.
Black Robe gathers the shaman, Lohaheel, and totemic warrior, Redfeather to join a group of elves including Merya, Queen of Myrendelle, Draegar, Fleet Wildstorm, and the drow, Kennibrae Zajalyra of Eilistraee, with her tiger companion, Stripey. Their mission is to invade a human settlement, dismantle it while avoiding loss of life, and leave so as to force the humans to abandon their string of forts.
The heroes attacked just before dawn, using the cover of darkness to approach on of the castle walls. Draegar and Kennibrae climb the curtain wall and throw ropes to their allies below. Unfortunately, the group is spied by a sentry, beginning an intense battle across the battlements as the elves and Flan move from tower to tower, knocking out dozens of guardsmen. Unfortunately, Kennibrae's tiger turned out to NOT be animal friendshipped and didn't quite understand the non-lethal aspects of the mission, forcing Lohaheel to tend to each of the fallen. The heroes are quite careful, however, and ultimately defeat more than 90 defenders while killing less than ten. The party battles all the way to the main keep, but decide to fall back rather than risk defeat. En route, they use the various ballistae and catapults on other battlements. Together with the defenders, the party inflicts noteworthy damage to the keep's walls. Using a stone shape, the group not only escapes, but leaves a permanent hole in the keep's defenses...
