Wake the rest of the camp
From Create Your Own Story
"Wake up! Wake up!" you call to the night watchman.
Soon, the camp is stirring. However, when you turn your attention to where the apparition hovered, there is nothing.
The watchman is severely chastised by the remaining guard, who are somewhat unnerved by your story. They decide to double to watch, in case there really is anything out there. The vision was so real you can describe it down to the minutest detail, but even Betty, who is normally your advocate, shakes her head and mutters something about dreams before weddings.
In the morning, Duran returns with the rest of the scouting party.
"There is a lair not far up the foothills" he reports grimly, "it is abandoned. Whether or not the kobolds made it their base of operations, it's hard to say. Further up the trail, a morose tower has sprouted at the top of the nearest peak." Duran utters these words as though he can hardly believe them himself.
"I am sending two of the guard home to report on our findings. Towers do not spring up overnight. Some dark force has made its home within our borders."
Grim news, but your carriage has no choice but to continue on toward your promised wedding.
By midday, your company has reached the border between your father's kingdom and Syalolloru; a tall bridge spanning a vast ravine. However, the guard towers on your home side are abandoned, and there is no sign of the Syalolloruan army on the other side.
"What's this, no welcoming party?" Duran remarks.
"There is an unsettling presence here" Betty says nervously, "we should not linger."
"Not before I find out what happened to the soldiers stationed to watch our borders" Duran replies, drawing his sword.
You have in your party:
17 healthy guards, 1 injured
26 healthy servants, 4 injured
10 maids
Cross the bridge into the kingdom of Syalolloru
Investigate the guard towers on your father's side
