Summary:
At 2000 hours the company was assembled to respond to a recon report that the Westfall banditry was attempting to salvage and scavenge the previous battle site Redridge
- Investigate and neutralize any threat of bandit forces associating with the Westfall Confederates
- Marching Formation
- Don't die.
The march through Elwynn was noticeably peaceful and the soldiers maintained double columns to my satisfaction. Many chose to speak at my discretion and it was generally good for morale.
Upon arrival into Redridge PFC Mawi spotted a group of bandits retrieving fallen bodies and weapons. Our group immediately was called to double time pursuit. Thanks to Sergeant Gromley's quick shot one was able to be hobble and immediately captured after being run down by Sir Julian. Of note here is Recruit Krueger managed to stabilize the gun shot wound on the field enabling the prisoner to be transported off site.
PFC Brooks also managed to capture and knock off a bridge a second bandit who was pulled from the drink by Sir Julian. A blank parchment alongside a key was recovered. Both are being investigated by myself in Sarceline.
Three bandits escaped across the bridge into a deep haze in Duskwood, when one was killed it exploded into the same spore substance as seen in the Duskwood action...we are dealing with a severe outbreak here and with the Westfall Confederates traveling through Duskwood...it may spread.
The Inquisitors are still pulling information but for now the bandits keep mentioning hulking shadows in the mists and withering apples lining the path. I worry for Darkshire.
