Raifer arrived at his outpost to find that he was the senior ranking official. He assumed command, arriving with the support of Purity Damage, Nord, George Lett, Brother John and Raj. The support seemed to be good, but lacking a ranger. Fortunately, there was already one on the post, Harry Albright. Raifer set out and established a search patrol for the North west corner of the Al-Alin mountains. A seemingly tame route than guards the northern flank of the kingdom and keeps a path open to the kingdom of the Elven Hills.
On their first patrol, the group noticed that they were being followed or watched. They moved quickly to intercept and surround their shadow. The quickness of the barbarians overtook and outflanked the creature as they cornered him against a rock incline. They found it to be a Xvart. They group attempted to question the spy but got nowhere. Purity Damage offered to extract the information they desired by means of torture, Christian torture. She then set down and began reading scripture, the really dry and boring stuff. After an hour of this, the weary Xvart was more than willing to discuss anything.
His name was Gliksnar and he was a solo patrol for the Xvart peoples in the area. They had set up some sort of village and were looking out for their own interests. He informed them that they were no longer allied with the evil peoples having severed their ties with the lich of the Castle of Darkness years before. He was able to inform the group of Drow patrols and war parties that were clandestinely using this path for scouting and troop transfer. He was able to recount seeing about 2 or 3 groups each week going out. The number coming back was lower.
Feeling that they had been honestly communicated with, Raifer thought that there could be a deal set up whereby they can share intelligence and watch each others back. The offer was extended and further talks will take place after Gliksnar returned to his people to discuss it. They then let him go.
Knowing that there would likely be some Drow presence moving through soon, the patrol set up shop for an ambush. The next day, they were not disappointed. A drow male with about a half dozen war wolves came into the area on an obvious patrol search and destroy mission. The group set them up and sprung the trap, attacking fervently. The barbarians, seeing their first action in quite some time, were sluggish at first, but come on strong. Raj and Raifer were dispatching wolves in turn. Purity went for the drow. She kept him occupied and traded shots with him. Eventually, more of the group came to assist. Raifer took the drow down in to hand to hand, and was later joined by George. They managed to subdue it and took him prisoner. They packed up their stuff and headed back to camp, sending word ahead of what they had.
