Willem's Stand Part 4

Commander Askalon

I apoligize sincerely for interrupting your hunting trip, and I hope that is has been an enjoyable one thus far, but matter requiring your attention have arisen. As you know, I have been training the Reb Blades harder than usual as of late, to remove their minds from the untimely death of Captain Alzan. We have been venturing progressively farther south on small expeditions, nothing overly large but they keep us from Targonor for several days at a time.

During our latest such expedition we marches nearly to the wolf-men's territory. We began to encounter vulmae during our drills, a few at first, but then in greater numbers. Tension was high at first, I explained we were only there for training purposes as invited a number of them to join us for a meal as a gesture of good will, though they declined. Something has them bothered, and they refused to allow us to march further south.

One of the more forthcoming among them claimed that the vulmane are at war. I saw no evidence to reflect this but the very air surrounding them crackled with apprehension. Be it war or not, there is trouble amonst the vulmane. For the time being I am keeping all of my men in Targonor, we will train from here. I strongly recommend that you issue the command to keep the rest of our forces near as well until we are able to further identify what is going on.
