You awaken to feel the cold wind of the Wastelands bite. It has been several months since The Collective rose in secret from it's underground lairs and breached the surface world. You have never felt wind in the tunnels of your home and it is still a marvel to you. Regardless of the marvels of the surface there is a task that remains to be accomplished. Your company has been ordered to ransack a small Human outpost. First you must find your Company leader. What do you do?
Too long have your people been shunned to the fringes of civilization. When The Collective of Demons rose in the Northern Wastes your tribe was one of the first to pledge an alliance with them. However, there are many tribes that need convincing. Your Chief has ordered a small band of soldiers to help convince another neighbouring tribe. You are on the outskirts of their winter village. You must devise tactics for this brief battle, and knowing your capability as a leader you have been left in charge of the company. What do you do?
With the tunnels and underground labrynths of your home left behind you find yourself a soldier in the great Demon army. You are known leader among your fellow soldiers and one of great intelligence and cunning. Your compnay has found themselves on the northern fring of the Werelite Mountains, home of the Dwarves. Your objective is to raid unprotected Dwarven villages, but there is a feeling of unease among the others and your Captain. You and three others have been sent ahead to scout a possible pass into the mountains. You eventually arive on a bluff overlooking a valley. What do you see and do?
I believe he is to weak to give me orders, so I sneak up to the human outpost and start scouting the place.
Your Captain catches you on your attempt to scout the Human outpost. He is outraged that you would consider such insolence so early in the war when there has yet to be a major battle to test the mettle of the troops and their commanders. He orders you to be flogged. You receive 40 lashes and are confined to a healers tent for a week. Upon recovery you are assigned to a well respected and veteran Sergant. His company detatches from the main army with a batalion of other soldiers to take advatage of the Elven Dwarven war. He orders you to be the sole scout of the batallion, what do you do.

At first your tactic seems to be successful as your teams divide and start to raid the village with minimal losses. Unfortunatly they expected something like this and prepared an ambush. You lose half of your company, but you rush to aid your fellows with a few reserves that you kept with you just in case. You have been injured though (lose 20 health). Thankfully you captured the tribes Chief. Now what do you do?
I Tell him to join us or they'll face the terriable consequences because im already mad at him for trying to stop us in the first place and if he dosnt answer right... well he dosnt want to know
