*Rides throu the forest north of WindStorm making my way back to the encampment ...chuckling lightly as I spot one of the sentries in the trees..waves to Him as I ride into the camp...issues the orders to break camp and get ready to move out... listening to the men as they break camp and frowning as I hear them talk of seeing a small band of what looked like french troops circleing round toward the castle...decides this is something that needs to be handled telling my Sgt to to send 3 of our best archers to delay our new friends...grins as I see the look in his eyes knowing he's goin to teach the frenchmen some respect for the longbow...watches as he and 2 of the men ride out....Spots the Lady Hermosa as she exits the tent and moves to her coach Smiles to her as one of the Men helps her into the carrage....waiting with the men as the camp is finally packed and then mounting tornado ...leading the Men out sending out the flankers to scout out just in case we have guests....rides with the men toward the castle pondering just what it is that we have gotten ourselves into.....hrs pass as we near the castle from the north ....hears the rear guards whistle and turns seeing the 3 Men returning ...falls back and waits for them.....listening intently on there words and chuckling a bit hearing them tell of the french troops not knowing how to properly duck when arrows start to fall round them....frown a bit however hearing that the force numbered roughly 30 now now scattered some not wanting to stay together when arrows from nowhere rain down upon them..smiling hearing that none of the french were injured so they can't claim that we started the fight.....looks to the sgt and tells him to ride ahead and warn the castle of the band of french and to tell them that we will be arriving within a few hrs...wanting badly to turn my toops round and put an end to these french dogs but knowing my place first and formost is seeing to Hermosa's safty...signals the men to increase there speed so we may get to the castle all the faster*
