Redleg Staredown

August 8, 2243

Two days north of Helena, on the Tarstone Road, the Caravan and the Party are stopped by a Redleg Patrol twice their number. The Gent, (Jake's nickname for Adhevan) barely manages to resist starting trouble. A minor northern noble, he is opposed on principle to King John's tactics in general and the Redlegs in particular. Faolan somehow manages to stop Mateo (who has irrational bloodlust for Redlegs) from starting a deadly confrontation. A bribe from Pasha, the caravan's owner, delivered by Jake to the Redleg Captain, cleared the way for the caravan to pass.
