LCC - Charred Ruins
Smoke lingered in the air, stinging the eyes and burning the lungs of the three hooded figures making their way through the burned wreckage. Three days earlier, Sir Glennian and his companions had seen a column of smoke rising from the distant forest. Upon reaching the source, the foresters found an abandoned village, looted and razed to the ground…
A harsh cough escaped from Glennian’s throat. “Be careful there!” he shouted to one of his companions. “The roof on that house appears to be mightily unstable!”
Glancing up, the forester quickly vacated the burned house. Advancing toward Sir Glennian, the man scratched his head, “Who in Roawia would have done this?!?!”
“I haven’t the slightest idea…unless….” Glennian trailed off. A sudden flash of color in one of the buildings caught his eye. With a flourish of his emerald cloak, Glennian began to sprint toward the burned home. The dwelling’s door had previously been reduced to ashes, and the rickety, charred roof allowed a great deal of light to reach the soot-covered floor. As Glennian reached the house’s doorway, he saw, protruding from the floor, an Outlaw spear draped with a waving flag of the Queen’s colors.
“No! It cannot be!” Glennian and his men stood aghast. A deep, boiling anger churned within their chests.
“But…why?” There seemed no plausible reason for the senseless burning and looting of a harmless Lenfel village. Thus far, the Queen’s takeover had been primarily political. Certainly, her troops had confiscated many of the populace’s weapons and tools, and they had forced many to flee from their homes, but their takeover had been mostly bloodless and met with little resistance. Glennian could see little reason for the destruction of an innocent village…Glennian blinked. A bright light seemed to be shining out of the building’s crumbled chimney. Stepping around burnt furniture, he reached over and pulled some of the bricks loose from the fireplace. Concealed within Glennian found a torn sack, spilling over with several dozen pounds of gold!
“Aha!” Glennian shouted. “This explains it! Word must have gotten out about this stash of gold, which, I’m sure, would draw all the Queen’s soldiers stationed anywhere in Lenfald!”
Splitting it between them, Glennian and his companions stuffed the gold beneath their cloaks. “Well, we certainly won’t let them get any of it.”
Something else had been bothering him. In all their searching around the village, none of the foresters had come across any dead bodies. Which must mean…that they had all been taken prisoner.
