Oh dear. Guess she should not be too surprised, Islana was still quite young after all.

Alexis prompted the huntress to take a seat as she finished her work and placed the blade back in its sheath.

she started.

“You can expect we’ll be a decently sized group. What we are going try and do is to cut off all escape routes from that farm. Then, we’ll go in and try to arrest anyone we can find. Elder, children, doesn’t matter it seems from what Zane said. Maybe they’ll get a bit more precise before we strike.”

Not that she expected them to.

“Sometimes, things can be sorted then and there, when you’re just looking for contraband, for example. Probably not as easy when what you’re looking for are members of a secret cult. Not sure if they are going to start interrogation at the farm, but my guess is that the plan is to ferry them all off to the keep.”

The mercenary looks the young woman solemnly in the eye and continues.

“Some of them most likely will not come quietly. Be prepared for that. It is not going to be pretty.”

She sighs heavily.

“And given the ‘popularity’ the authorities enjoy in this parts, resistance, armed or not, might not even be a telltale sign of a cult member. Could just as well be pent up anger at whatever is going wrong in this city.”

Shaking her head, she pulls out her shield, beginning to check it over.

“… we can just hope it doesn’t escalate.”
