### Current Status

Active

Hayward's Hellions, a group of volunteer soldiers led by Lieutenant Hayward, was a military company who served King Beon in the Kez Civil War.

## First Assignment

Hayward's Hellions were first mustered in the town of Dimhorn where they were assigned to work for the quartermaster and guard the stores of powder. In the course of their duties they helped fight off a Loyalist group that attempted to burn down the warehouse, defeating several soldiers and running off an unidentified Privileged that was leading them.

## Second Assignment

Shortly after their first assignment they marched to the city of Antienne to undergo training and take on new volunteers. Between training they were assigned to keep the peace in the city, which was becoming prone to brawls and looting due to the civil war and increasingly scarce resources.

Intelligence provided to Hayward by a local contact, a tailor/spy named Elphed, revealed that the Kez Loyalists and Longdogs in the city were bringing "weapons" into Antienne to assist them in the war.

Lt. Hayward managed to secure the mission to investigate, and the Hellions staked out a warehouse on the docks. After scouting the area, they decided to split up and hit both entrances to the warehouse. Lavinia, Val, Turnbull and Len struck the front door, quickly overwhelming the two sentries posted there.

The rear door, where ships would unload into the warehouse, proved much more strongly fortified and and Acel, Roland, Harrison and Lt. Hayward found much stiffer resistance there from a half a dozen Longdogs, as well as what appeared to be two officers.

The fight was hard pressed, with Acel, Harrison and Hayward being wounded, but once the rest of the Hellions joined from the front, the battle turned sharply in their favor. They managed to capture one of the men, who appeared to be one of the two officers, alive for interrogation.

Lt. Hayward ordered Turnbull, Val and Len to accompany him in the initial interrogation. They searched the man, finding a letter from Theopholis ja Krin, the commander of the Long Dogs, that indicated the "weapons" were being delivered on a ship called the Ceres in two days. They interrogated the man, learning that the weapons were in fact 5 wardens (beasts created by the Kez cabal specifically to hung Powder Mages.) Turnbull interrogated the man further, cutting off his lips when the man proved recalcitrant, but Lt. Hayward ordered him to cease, feeling they'd gotten all the information they were going to get from him.

Hayward reported his units findings immediately, recommending that the navy be brought in to sink the Ceres immediately.
