-The Scorned Blockade-

A scouting report written by Rha’kir

 

It is to this one’s dismay that he will have to deliver mostly bad news in regards to the Inferi.  Two Elven days ago, this one organized a scout team to enter the Korvassa. We were with a total of  5 members, whom this one will list. Brave warriors, each one of them.

 

-Lorelei Miravaris

-Lenora jusmia

-Qudlia Jusmia

-Twilight Qua’Req

-Rha’kir Therkul-Morthawl

 

Our group  gathered at the gates of Sutica, where we discussed tactics and the plan. The plan was simple, at first. We would cross the bridge connecting Korvassa and the mainland. We would move over to set up camp and scout whatever was left of the old city of Thyra. We assumed the rubble and ruins would be perfect to take cover at. We expected to find information within the rubble. We  speculated that the ground could be perfect for certain defenses to secure the bridge, considering it is a direct but fragile line that connects both us and the Inferi.

 

“We were wrong”

 

As we traveled onward and crossed the bridge to Korvassa, we quickly found what this one has decided to call The Scorned Blockade. When we arrived, we quickly found a large wall complete with working gate to be set up, blocking entrance from the bridge. The wall did not stretch much in length but trying to jump in the water and walk around it would not have been an option. There were  A few dozen Inferi Troops  lined up behind the wall. If we had attempted to walk around, they would have just impaled us the second we tried to climb upon the  shore.

 

Upon arrival, we also encountered a large Olog who tagged along for the ride.  There was no way around and we did not give up. Our shaman, Qudlia Jusmia protectetd by Lenora, proceeded to summon a large Earth Elemental to aid us with lifting the gate. Unfortunately, this one never got the Olog’s name but he helped us try and lift the gate.  In the end,  The Inferi themselves lifted the gate to challenge us head on. We were exposed like this and their archers took the opportunity to shoot us down, yet we were lucky with the Earth Elemental ‘s arms around us. Though, that was not the largest problem. These Winged Inferi flew above our heads. They continued to lay a barrage of fallen debris over us. This one does not know where they got those pieces of rock precisely but the debris could have come from Thyra.

 

Unfortunately, we never made it to the ruins of Thyra. The many Inferi guarding The Scorned Blockade proved too much for our scouting team, even with an Olog and the Earth Elemental.  We had to retreat after having fought only a fraction of the troops present. Even with Lorelei and Twilight fighting the troops left and right to keep them at bay.  However, we did not leave empty handed.  The Inferi were commanded by what we assumed to be their Captain. We took his life and his head before the Earth Elemental gave in and exploded, clearing a way for us to depart quickly.

Now, this is what this report will conclude to.

 

The Inferi are aware of the bridge connecting us with them and have blocked it off accordingly. This is a dire problem and most will not see why. The option of taking a ship to cross the waters is risk on itself due to these Winged Inferi and the rumors of the Naval Inferi.  The Winged Inferi on their own could  make a ship sink if they do enough damage. The rumors of Naval Inferi have yet to be confirmed by this one, though it would not be a surprise if it turns out true. Our only somewhat safe passage to Korvassa has been blocked off by  the heavily guarded Scorned Blockade.

 

There is no  secure direct line of connection to Korvassa as of now.

[!] The Kha would then proceed to make many copies of this document with the help of his fellow Kharajyr. The group of Kha would then freely distribute the documents through every city on Arcas, either by giving it out by hand or by bird to keep the population of Arcas updated in a transparent way.
