The Knights Of The Silver Dragons Operation In Rhagost 240807
In an intense clash just outside Depot 37, amidst the shadows and the dim glow of a waxing crescent moon, members of the Knights, led by Selina Brightwood, fought valiantly against the defenders of the depot, the black-visored enforcers, and soldiers donned in urban combat gear. The battlefield was fraught with confusion, misfires, and the cacophony of battle cries and clashing weaponry. Cara Brooksgate, acting commander of the Temple and a strategic asset to the Knights, issued commands, directing her forces toward the sapling and the log, aiming to capture points and secure a strategic advantage. Amidst this, a ritual, pivotal for the Knights' victory, was an ongoing concern for Selina, who focused on completing it to set off alchemical components strategically placed around the depot.
The melee saw notable engagements from individuals on both sides. Ash and Isabelle provided cover fire and attempted to disrupt the enemies with their precise, if sometimes missed, shots. Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Trevor navigated the chaos, taking and giving orders, their contributions underscored by the ferocity of their actions. Jodie, in her wolf form, played a crucial role, charging at enemies and creating opportunities for the Knights to advance. Despite the surges of aggression from the depot's defenders, the Knights pressed on, their resolve as sturdy as steel. Selina, amidst the turmoil, remained steadfast, her focus unwavering on completing the ritual which promised devastation upon their foes and victory for her allies. As the battle reached its crescendo, the Knights emerged victorious, a testament to their strategy, bravery, and camaraderie. In the aftermath, propositions of drinks and diplomacy were exchanged, marking the end of the skirmish not with continued hostility, but with an offer of peace and mutual respect.

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue to complete or disrupt the ritual until the process is complete.
While the Hand was waiting to take over Rhagost territory in the wake of the Knights' victory over the Spears, the Knights were making their own plans. Plans which involve a lot of alchemical components smuggled into the region and placed, strategically around the compound as it was being developed. As soon as the Hand finished and declared their dominion over Rhagost, the Knights moved to enact a ritual to set off the alchemical bombs littering the newly built and christened compound of Depot 37. All the Knights have to do is complete the ritual and make a large explosion.
