It was very quiet in the small camp of traders, accompanied by adventurers and other travelers a few miles away from the harbor town of Ledreth - all seemed to be sleeping, or preparing for another hard day of travel.
Suddenly, two shadows crossed the early-morning sky, explosions and cannon-thunder were heard from up above. Surprised and feared man an woman came out of their tents. Little rock pieces came down from high in the sky, scaring some of the people back in their tent, and than, slowly, a very much larger rock, which was shaped like a arrow, sized like a small ship, crushed down on the hill near the camp, and while the pointy nose of the "ship" bored itself into the earth and about a dozen corpses were smashed away from it in all directions.
Slowly, a few survivors of the impact came out of a crushed iron gate short above the ground, but most of them collapsed during they walked down the hill. Only one man made it to the camp. His pale, elf-like skin was bloody, he was badly wounded, his hears were in complete disorder. His dark leather armor was torn and damaged heavily. "Please...help...some...still inside." he pressed trough his lips, before he fell down to the ground before the campers, unconscious, or maybe even death.
