Baratuo outpost was extremely busy today. They had received a communique from the Adept camp near the target area that they would be attacking in full force.
The majority of the leaders of the notable factions had engaged in the battle, with a few exceptions. Some non-combatant faction leaders like merchants and Union groups had vacated the camp to arrive at the outpost, leaving the capable fighters among their men to handle the deed.
Surprisingly, two unexpected faction leaders had passed through here just a few hours earlier. The Thieves Guild's Vice-Guildmaster and the Assassin's Guildmaster had been deeply arguing as they had entered the camp.
The female thief had been talking nonstop about how she had had a terrible feeling and how it had been the wise choice to avoid the battlefield while the male half-elf assassin had expressed great dissatisfaction at leaving his other subordinates in charge of the assault.
