Laurel walked beside Herebrand down the dark streets, searching for his men. Thinking over in her mind what could have possibly happened here while she was away, she began eliminating the possible places his army could be. She turned a slight, and looked over at a dense copse of trees nearby.
'Do you suppose they could be there?' she motioned with her arm. Herebrand turned and his face seemed lined with concern.
She thought for a moment before she spoke 'The battle here seems a muddle to me, but I have gathered a few facts of it. This battle was waged on more than one front. A small army from those trees, and from the plains. That would explain the skirmishes on each of the outer edges of the Village. Then it would seem that your men saw the moving army, and met them there. They caught some of the Wild Men in the trees, and the rest scattered into the town...'
'It is only a guess, but does it seem that could have been the way of it?'
