The Council of Combe



And so it begins. I can already feel a chill on my stomach, the air gets tense and hard to breathe. I've always heard the few very moment before a battle is always a mystical one that will stay in the memory of men for the rest of their lives. And it is indeed true. Even after so many battles fought, I still feel it... I still change...

 

A meeting was arranged, after so many days waiting, between the Council of the Red Dragon and The Combe Town Watch . Kamoba came as their officer. We went through a hard discussion. Every man involved tried to give their ideas on how should we assault Ost Alagos. A complete confusion. I managed to convince them to follow my plan.

 

We'll be spliting the men in three groups. One will strike from the west, a group of watchman and volunteer people from Combe. They will be hitting the enemy from their side.

The second group, will be lead by my companion knight, Alestair Wolfe. He will lead a group and attack from the South, luring the enemy to them. They will be the strong and main force of this attack.

 

Finally, I'll lead a smaller group of rangers. We'll strike the enemy from North, slaying them swiftly. Hopefully, it will be too late for them to do anything when they find us.

 

I pray for tomorrow. For my men, for the people of Combe. This... must be done. May the Valar protect us.
