Andra: Ah, there you are. My four little merchants. We've got it on good authority that spiders are coming our way, and they're coming fast.

Serna: How... how many?

Andra: Hmm. A lot more than you can handle.

Wit: My... my lady... we're but humble merchants, not fighters...

Andra: That you are handsome. Maybe you should keep it in mind going forward. Word on the street is you're plotting amongst yourselves. Maybe you've had enough of Mages, uh? I bet you're all thinking you could do a better job?

[ts2cambremon]

Sosina: *awkwardly* So... You're here too.

Wit: *shrugs* Between bowing to the Cambremons and getting torn apart by spiders, the choice is an easy one.

[ts2cambremon]

Kadja: *shivering and walking mechanically, as if in a daze*

Ren: Make way! The lady of Cambremon is eager to return to the fire of her hearth!

[ts2cambremon]

Sosina: WHAT? But what about the sick-?

Ivan: I hear praying to the spirits helps.

Sosina: And what about us merchants!? The monastery was solid business, we're going to take a big hit!

Ivan: *still smiling but speaking in a lower voice* Don't you play with me. You're not making any business here. I know you've been donating goods to the Monastery this past month.

Sosina: *struggling to keep her face neutral* Hmm, no, doesn't sound like me. You know us merchants. Profits come first.

Ivan: I hope so. I don't need to tell you lord Cambremon is a little... touchy about this whole business. I would hate to see your head on a spike. Avoid the Monastery from now on.

[ts2cambremon]

Sosina: *very aware of Serna's presence and hurriedly changing the topic* So I hear you're an important person now! Just back from an expedition and everything!

Kadja: That's nothing really, I hardly ever left the camp! But what about you? What have you been up to these past ten years?

Sosina: Well, I've joined the merchants' guild, traveled around, made a small fortune, lost it, made a bigger one. I settled in the Dantuzine hub for a while.

Kadja: The Dantuzine! Aren't they terrible?

Sosina: They were. But when Andra killed Surnon Dantuzine, his half-sister inherited the hub. She's got not magic, and she was raised in secret so Surnon wouldn't kill her, so this whole 'ruling a hub' thing was quite a shock for her. Then she married an Aramia boy, who's as powerless as she is. They mean well, but they have no clue how to rule their hub. It was a perfect time for vultures like yours truly. That's when I made the 'bigger fortune'.

[ts2cambremon]

Wit: Unless you're Serna that is. She decided to stay in her holding. I tried to convince her to come but she wouldn't budge.

Sosina: But... what about her kid? Her dad? Her employees? Katrina?

Wit: Serna armed the lot of them with bows and posted them at every window. I suppose they're planning on turning the spiders into hedgehogs...

Sosina: *whistles between her teeth* What is she thinking? Even if they survive the attack, she's making herself a target for Andra.

Wit: I've said it before, her pride will be the death of her. And probably of all those close to her.

Dormund: Now remember, you're to remain with the Free-Folk. Spiders are unlikely to come this far, so you're here more as reassurance than anything. Still, I want you on alert. I'm trusting you with the safety of my wife after all, she's upstairs with Intendants and the other Mage-Linked.

Guard: Yes Starschin.

Dormund: Your biggest task is going to be to keep them calm. The Intendants are in charge of supplies and rations in case the fighting lasts for more than a day. If anything happens, send me an alert with a message mirror.
