Atal shrugged.<br/>"I don't think somebody is following us...yet. And the bandits, if that's what they were...there were reports raiders were getting bolder before we became, hm, too consumed by our own problems to follow the rumors. Maybe they jumped on a caravan with a good guard, and the bigger pile shows the price of defeat."<br/>He kept scanning the bodies, while they were approaching the first sentries, which were already visible. They wore all manners of weapons, although most seemed to favour medium weapons like swords and axes. Then the man's keen senses apparently noticed (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=8750) something.<br/>"Forget that. I'm pretty sure this guy there was trampled by a horse before being run trough with a spear, and caravan guards seldom use such tactics. That's more of an army tactic, and I'd bet these guys have met our glorious cavalry. Shouldn't we just ask them what has happened?"<br/>Try as she might, Freyja wasn't so sure about the details of the wounds at such distance. Obviously, the man had keener vision then she had suspected. And there was a change of tone in Atal's voice when he mentioned the cavalry. She knew the man disliked the regular army for some reason and didn't have many soldiers for friends. Mercenaries, he was fine with, and the Guard has been a mercenary's job to him.<br/><br/>While they were speaking, the coach was approaching the sentries. They have probably noticed them by now, but didn't find them really threatening.
