He nodded, before helping Johanna get a seat. She had been taking a beating out there, and he took care of his own. Once she was comfortable, he started, leaning against the wall as he talked. "A follower of Hellion was behind Torch's torch going out. The intended result was the diversion of power from the structure under the town to something here, with a nice side effect of eventually destroying the town and likely a lot of the nearby countryside.<br/><br/>A cleric of Hellion led the attempt, but refused to give more information than that the 'god' would smite us for our heresy in stopping it.<br/><br/>Arriving here, we found a group called the Smilers, due to cutting off their own cheeks and lips, had assaulted Aldronard's Grave to make a hide over spot against the Lords of Rust, or to gain their favor, never really was clear on why they attacked it. They killed all the animals in the fortress and half the paladins, but we rescued the rest, driving out the attackers.<br/><br/>Upon arrival in town, I wiped out a group claiming to be affiliates of the Lords, through use of excessive explosive force. The survivors were quite glad to answer our questions after a bit of goading, but didn't reveal that much. We then assaulted the fort across from the main gate, killing a Smiler with birds, who had been installed by the Rust Lords.<br/><br/>Johanna, did I miss anything important? That is all I can recall off the top of my head about intel and actions against the Lords."
