The Scalebound Covenants Operation In Lusaka Zambia 240410
In the Mopani Forests near Lusaka, Zambia, a group of conservationists under the name of The Scalebound Covenant embarked on a chilling night mission to counteract poaching activities amidst the shadows of waxing crescent moonlight. Among them, characters like Carmine, Silas, Selina, and Magnus, alongside others, coordinated their assault against poachers, utilizing a variety of tactics from charging towards strategic points like logs and depressions to engaging in fierce exchanges of gunfire and magical assaults. Carmine, in a daring solo move, engaged poachers at a depression, narrowly escaping harm, while Selina and Magnus took command of the brush area, setting the stage for a gritty confrontation.
As the battle raged, personal feats of bravery and close calls with the enemy drew lines of alliance and showcased the participants' determination. Carmine parried attacks with a discreet switchblade, Magnus bellowed challenges while fiercely protecting his comrades, and Meridith focused on sabotaging the poachers' operations with her supernatural abilities. The climax saw Silas unleashing powerful magic, Carmine narrowly surviving a series of engagements, and Autumn strategically firing arrows. Through coordinated efforts, including freeing caged animals and repelling their aggressors, they managed to disperse the poachers. Their success was celebrated with camaraderie and reflections on their actions, as they safeguarded the area, dedicating their victory to the dragons of Lusaka and proving the might of The Balanced & Corrupt Alliance.

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue disperse or embolden poachers until the process is complete.
The Scalebound Covenant's conservation efforts continue in the Mopani Forests of Zambia. The group seeks to assist in the crack down on poachers which has recently started another uptick in the region. This time though, they specifically seem intent on protecting the forested area and planting a watcher over the region to assist in blocking some of the lesser environmental issues that might come up.
