Walkthrough

1. Speak to the quartermaster at Highroot Bank
   The quartermaster shows you an empty ledger. 'Three caravans missed. No survivors back. The town has four days of bread left. Find the warband and cut the road open.'
2. Track the warband through the grove
   The trail runs through churned bracken and a felled cart. Lizardmen don't bother with cover. They expected to win every fight on this road and so far they have.
3. Clear the ambush at the mine cut
   They've made a kill point at the mine cut where the road narrows. You go in from above and they don't see you until the third one is already down. The rest break and run for the camp.
4. Cut down a Fell Lizardman
   Their pack leader stood and fought instead of running. You cut him down at the cut mouth. The road past the mine is open.
5. Burn the cached supplies in the grove
   Their cache is half the missing caravans, packed and ready to move deeper. You burn what you can't carry. Smoke goes up over the canopy for an hour.
6. Put down the second pack
   The smoke pulled the second pack in fast. The fight is short and ugly. The leader of this one ran. You don't chase him.
7. Check the coast road for the runaway
   Tracks in the wet sand cut north. He won't be back this season. The coast road is clear all the way to the next caravan stop.
8. Recover what the warband took
   What survived the cache fire is loaded onto a salvaged cart. Bread, salt, iron, a sealed crate the quartermaster will want. You wheel it back yourself.
9. Set the road wards in the grove
   You drive the ward stakes at three points along the grove. They won't stop another warband but they'll buy the caravan guards a warning. That's enough for now.
10. Report the road clear to the quartermaster
    He counts the recovered crates onto the dock and exhales. 'Four days of bread became a season. Take what you need from the long stores. You earned it twice over.'
