Sarsburg, the pride of the Neumunster Empire, and a massive middle finger to the encroaching darkness in the land. Its nobles proud, its merchants wealth, its commonfolk happy and its soldiery disciplined. Too rich a target too ignore, too formidable to take easily, your employer's host would not be the first invading horde to smash itself to pieces against its walls. Sarsburg has defied your employer for years, with a little luck and a lot of bloodshed, that won't be the case in a few days.
With the battered Neumunster army gathering their strength from the Battle of Weylan River and their Elven and Chevalisse allies weeks away at best, you know this siege isn't going to be long and drawn out like the 2 year wait at Far Sut Rus in the Kalgarri Dominion. No, this is going to be bloody and short.
Anyway, you suppose it's past time you stopped thinking about the whys and wherefores and focused on the job at hand.
>Head to Sergeant Frowns-at-Children's tent, doubtless he'll have the squad selection roster
>Seek out Page #137, that creature will have the word on the comings and goings of the horde. Plus he knows more about the restructured Company layout than anyone.
>Take a look at the Post, there's plenty of Freelance Mercenary Work offering good coin while you're not on strict Black Company duties. The Post is where the majority of the jobs are well... posted.
