My men rowed as quietly as they could. The soft splash of the oars, and the low whispers of my men drifted over the water. The boats hugged the island as we neared the landing point.
My unit was sent to take the Lenfel fortress, Castle Bladefall; no easy task. But, my scouts had sent word that the army of Bladefall had left to attack a Loreesi town, a couple miles away from Bladefall. The plan was to set off by boat a few miles away and avoid the Lenfel scouts. Then my men would smash the door open, storm inside, and take out anyone left. When the Lenfel army returned, weary from fighting, they would have to fight their own defenses.
What we didn't know, was that a Lenfald general had hired some mercenaries ("Not outlaws" he had said to himself) to defend it while he was gone. Of course, he didn't trust them enough to let them in the castle, and had told the few men he was leaving behind to light the beacon at first sign of trouble. Another thing we didn't know. With the sudden outbreak of war, the Lenfels had put a beacon on top of this tower, to alert others of fighting, and hopefully to bring reinforcements.
Before we were within a hundred yards of the beach, we saw the beacon burst into flames, lighting up the already bright sky.
"They've seen us! ROW! ROW!
FOR THE GLORY OF LOREOS!"
