Scouting the Western Marches



Éodral​​​​​​​ had mustered in the horsefields with a company of riders of the Mark. Their names were; Edorath, Theodmund and some other new recruits. There they trained for some time while the rays of the sun were shining over their helms.

Up on the faint horizon, a grizzled horseman galloped his horse towards the Éored camp of Elite Riders. The rider was Lieutenant Ceorlbrand of an another Éored. He had come with ill news that a small party of orcs had been spotted on the western marches.

- "Éodral​​​​​​​​​​​​​​?! I saw some tracks of goblins, while riding to here. I think, we need to check this immediately, there should be trouble for us!.." said Ceorlbrand.

Éodral​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ glanced at the others and waited for a reinforcement from them. Theodmund said; "Our swords and shields are ready for your lead, Éodral​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!.." Yet, others just had given their nods on this young rider's words.

And by the order of Éodral​​​​​​​​​​​​​​, a small scouting unit was gathered with maercwardas and there they rode to western marches through to Marton region which has fallen before. There was a tent on their path and they thought that the storm was coming up! 


They have heard a sound.. It was so hoarse, something like snore. Éodral​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ noticed, there was a goblin eating in the tent, and requested from Edorath to assassinate him. Edorath went inside of the tent quitely, then he came back with the goblin's head after a couple seconds.

After all, through these expeditions, the Ceorlbrand's word was confirmed when a small orc camp was found close to fordside. They needed to kill the watchers to spy inside of this camp. Every rider had to only one, clean shot to kill before the watchers give an alert..

And yet, they were great on this mission. As a Rohirrim, they're also good on using bows as much as their spears. 

Before long, the riders ambushed the camp, clearing off the enemy presence in the area under the yelling, such as; "Rohirrimmmm!.."

And also, upon this ambush, they secured the safety of an Éorling family in need of rescue, so the mission was done without any lost as expected.

At the end, Lieutenant Ceorlbrand got the head of goblin leader on his spearpoint, while returning to the basement town.
