The Destined Hosts Operation In Rhagost 240326
In the treacherous terrains of Balquest Pass, a group of daring adventurers—Harriet, Viktorin, Peyton, Annie, and Jodie—embarked on a covert mission to intercept the deed to Horcroft Manor, thereby determining the fate of a significant estate and potentially shifting power dynamics in their favor. The operation was a high-stakes game, with the team needing to wrestle the deed from a merchant caravan's courier amidst a challenging mountainous backdrop. The weather was cold, with the temperature hovering around 43°F, and grey clouds partly covering the sky—a grim omen for the battle that lay ahead.
The ambush was sudden and strategic, with the team taking positions and launching their assault on the unwitting caravan. Harriet, with her precision and agility, took the lead, setting the tone of the battle by taking aim and firing at opponents, creating disarray among the caravan’s guards. Viktorin, ever the bold warrior, did not hesitate to charge towards the enemy, inspiring others to follow suit. Peyton, with her supernatural agility, leapt towards strategic positions, providing cover fire, while Annie's sharpshooting skills aimed to disable the courier from completing his delivery. Jodie, adorned in her wolf form, displayed fierce loyalty and protection, especially when the tide of battle shifted towards their favor. The deed to Horcroft Manor was briefly in the grasp of Peyton, symbolizing a near victory for the team.
As the battle raged on, the group faced formidable resistance from the Destined Host soldiers, who were determined to protect the deed. Harriet and Viktorin worked in harmony, combining brute force with strategic precision, while Annie played a crucial role in turning the tide by securing the deed after a tense series of exchanges. Their victory was hard-won, with the deed finally in their possession, they made a strategic withdrawal to their extraction point—a testament to their resilience, strategic acumen, and unbreakable camaraderie. The operation not only signified a win against their adversaries but also emphasized the dynamic power shifts that could happen as a result of their bold actions. Their success was a reminder of the volatile nature of power and influence, and how it could be swayed by those daring enough to challenge the status quo.

Mission: Intercept deed to Horcroft Manor and bring it back to the extraction point.
Renquest Horcroft's eldest daughter, Proxima, is set to inherit his estate - the Horcroft Manor. However, the deed's journey towards her via a merchant caravan's courier, currently crossing the mountainous Balquest Pass, presents an opportunity. This operation aims to intercept this caravan, take possession of the deed, and shape the fate of the Horcroft Manor in the process. A successful operation could drastically shift the power dynamics, giving the victors a valuable piece in the larger game of power and control.

Harriet chuckles softly. "Well... Where are the soliders who are carrying the loot?" she asks as she peers about.
"My eyesight is so shit," Annie complains as she tries to peer through the darkness that shrouds Rhagost. Her suppressing fire so far seems to have been beneficial at least.
Viktorin says "Uh. Somewhere?"
"Indeed," Harriet says to Viktorin after she, who has pretty good eyesight, can probably see not much more than Annie at the moment. "Jodie is at the rock way out there. We can head towards it and shoot for a bit. Wolves cannot use firearms, after all."
Viktorin flicks the light amount of blood from his bayonet, affixing it to his rifle again. "Yeah. Could do that. I'm so confused about where are target is, though?"
Harriet warns, "Okay, hold off. Here comes a soldier. Let's see what he does."
"Very true." Some doubt lingers after that suggestion to harry the wolf though. "Do we wanna wait if any more of those guys come out first?" For Viktorin's sake Annie points to the south where she can just make out the wolf.
Peyton runs towards the extraction point.
Harriet gazes eastward. "Perhaps he will go after Jodie." She nods to Annie. "Or... no... I think he is coming out way."

Peyton fires off a shot at a Destined Host soldier with sigil-etched weaponry which sends up a spray of soil near her feet.
Annie says "Wait. That's the same one."
"Wait... we need to be hunting for the Destined Host dorks, right? Maybe heading that way, we'll find them?" Viktorin proposes, glancing towards the south-east. "My shadows are returning, so I can definitely take a few hits, if necessary. And my bone armor is ready to be summoned too, for the casualties."

Annie motions towards her green eyes. "I might have been seeing double. Does the Order have health benefits? I might need to get my eyes checked," she reckons, sniffing loudly. "Wha- who is that, Annie balks as the Destined Host soldier fires at someone in a catsuit."

Viktorin says "Also, the only issue with that plan, is- Oh. Jodie's moving."
Viktorin says "The only issue with that plan, is if the dorks move north, and then veer north-west. Then we might not be able to see them until it's too late. And we have nothing to halt their progress."
Jodie charges toward rock.
"Other than kind of getting beset on two sides we got into a decent spot with the cover," Annie comments idly, looking over the rise they're using for a decent vantage point of their surroundings. She bobs her head agreeably with everything else being said of their situation.
Harriet admits, "Without being able to see where everyone is out there, it's a rough plan. I think I have the best eyesight, so I'll sprint eastward and see if there is anything more out there."
Peyton makes a supernatural leap to rock.
Harriet calls out, "Catsuit has the loot. And is at the rock with Jodie."

Harriet claims, "It would be a dangerous attempt," to Viktorin and Annie. "but if you are antsy and want to risk your life and have some fun, then you can. If it is Kylia, she is pretty strong."
Viktorin says "Hot. "
"I'm fine with whatever, we can try to retreat back here if things get a little too dicey, but we might have the advantage with some range compared to her and that wolf," Annie deliberates from the rise.
Harriet calls out, "There is also a another extraction point down near them, according to the map."
Instead of charging, Viktorin simply reloads his rifle, racking the bolt to the rear to eject a round from his prior magazine. "Whelp. Guess we're sticking here. I don't fancy to be Kylia fodder right- Eh. Rock-time."
Viktorin charges toward Harriet.
Annie says "We'll probably need to try to chip down their cover then."
Harriet nods to Annie, laughing a bit over Viktorin's constant flip-flopping.
Harriet charges toward rock.
Peyton growls back, though it comes off a little more kittenish. She does not seem to speak the same language. She reloads her FN-SCAR, grunting as she slams home a fresh clip. "Are they still out there somewhere?" She wonders, searching through her scope.
Peyton says "Ah, there they are."
Viktorin charges toward Harriet.
Viktorin says "About thirty minutes to destroy a rock? We can do that."

Continues to dart forward, after Harriet, swinging his rifle to and fro as he jogs. Carefully, he eyes the environs around himself, viridian being the greeting from his gaze.

The Virtuous Extremists Alliance has proved victorious.
The ambush was sudden and strategic, with the team taking positions and launching their assault on the unwitting caravan. Harriet, with her precision and agility, took the lead, setting the tone of the battle by taking aim and firing at opponents, creating disarray among the caravan’s guards. Viktorin, ever the bold warrior, did not hesitate to charge towards the enemy, inspiring others to follow suit. Peyton, with her supernatural agility, leapt towards strategic positions, providing cover fire, while Annie's sharpshooting skills aimed to disable the courier from completing his delivery. Jodie, adorned in her wolf form, displayed fierce loyalty and protection, especially when the tide of battle shifted towards their favor. The deed to Horcroft Manor was briefly in the grasp of Peyton, symbolizing a near victory for the team.
As the battle raged on, the group faced formidable resistance from the Destined Host soldiers, who were determined to protect the deed. Harriet and Viktorin worked in harmony, combining brute force with strategic precision, while Annie played a crucial role in turning the tide by securing the deed after a tense series of exchanges. Their victory was hard-won, with the deed finally in their possession, they made a strategic withdrawal to their extraction point—a testament to their resilience, strategic acumen, and unbreakable camaraderie. The operation not only signified a win against their adversaries but also emphasized the dynamic power shifts that could happen as a result of their bold actions. Their success was a reminder of the volatile nature of power and influence, and how it could be swayed by those daring enough to challenge the status quo.

Mission: Intercept deed to Horcroft Manor and bring it back to the extraction point.
Renquest Horcroft's eldest daughter, Proxima, is set to inherit his estate - the Horcroft Manor. However, the deed's journey towards her via a merchant caravan's courier, currently crossing the mountainous Balquest Pass, presents an opportunity. This operation aims to intercept this caravan, take possession of the deed, and shape the fate of the Horcroft Manor in the process. A successful operation could drastically shift the power dynamics, giving the victors a valuable piece in the larger game of power and control.

"My eyesight is so shit," Annie complains as she tries to peer through the darkness that shrouds Rhagost. Her suppressing fire so far seems to have been beneficial at least.
Viktorin says "Uh. Somewhere?"
"Indeed," Harriet says to Viktorin after she, who has pretty good eyesight, can probably see not much more than Annie at the moment. "Jodie is at the rock way out there. We can head towards it and shoot for a bit. Wolves cannot use firearms, after all."
Viktorin flicks the light amount of blood from his bayonet, affixing it to his rifle again. "Yeah. Could do that. I'm so confused about where are target is, though?"
Harriet warns, "Okay, hold off. Here comes a soldier. Let's see what he does."
"Very true." Some doubt lingers after that suggestion to harry the wolf though. "Do we wanna wait if any more of those guys come out first?" For Viktorin's sake Annie points to the south where she can just make out the wolf.
Peyton runs towards the extraction point.
Harriet gazes eastward. "Perhaps he will go after Jodie." She nods to Annie. "Or... no... I think he is coming out way."

Annie says "Wait. That's the same one."
"Wait... we need to be hunting for the Destined Host dorks, right? Maybe heading that way, we'll find them?" Viktorin proposes, glancing towards the south-east.

Viktorin says "Also, the only issue with that plan, is- Oh. Jodie's moving."
Viktorin says "The only issue with that plan, is if the dorks move north, and then veer north-west. Then we might not be able to see them until it's too late. And we have nothing to halt their progress."
Jodie charges toward rock.
"Other than kind of getting beset on two sides we got into a decent spot with the cover," Annie comments idly, looking over the rise they're using for a decent vantage point of their surroundings. She bobs her head agreeably with everything else being said of their situation.
Harriet admits, "Without being able to see where everyone is out there, it's a rough plan. I think I have the best eyesight, so I'll sprint eastward and see if there is anything more out there."

Harriet claims, "It would be a dangerous attempt," to Viktorin and Annie. "but if you are antsy and want to risk your life and have some fun, then you can. If it is Kylia, she is pretty strong."
Viktorin says "Hot. "
"I'm fine with whatever, we can try to retreat back here if things get a little too dicey, but we might have the advantage with some range compared to her and that wolf," Annie deliberates from the rise.
Harriet calls out, "There is also a another extraction point down near them, according to the map."
Instead of charging, Viktorin simply reloads his rifle, racking the bolt to the rear to eject a round from his prior magazine. "Whelp. Guess we're sticking here. I don't fancy to be Kylia fodder right- Eh. Rock-time."
Viktorin charges toward Harriet.
Annie says "We'll probably need to try to chip down their cover then."
Harriet nods to Annie, laughing a bit over Viktorin's constant flip-flopping.
