Knowing their allies are desperate for supplies, the High Council sends an agent along with a pair of highly-respected Goldpike mercenaries to protect a relief shipment of supplies. They expect to be attacked if they move in the open, so another route was necessary. To get through the secret and narrow passes in the rocky terrain that surrounds Mpya Stedor, a Leander Ostrich-Wrangler was also tapped for the job. Unlike the "gifts" of the so-called Desert King, the High Council's support comes with no strings attached.
And besides, just what is that mummy pouring into the water barrel anyway!? Is his lieutenant negotiating with the Everlast officer, or is he providing a convenient distraction for some nefarious chicanery? Have you ever met a desert mummy?
NOTE: This build isn't intended to be untitled. Oops, I thought I'd put a title in before hitting "post". Can a mod please add the title: Keeping Everlast Supplied.
