So after my victory, I got news from a super secret spy embedded deep in the Black Company hierarchy that a small caravan would be leaving Jelbegi Castle heavily laden with oodles of crates. As it was late, we decided that the caravan would leave at 9:00 pm Eastern time Thursday night, and, as it was part of my mandate, I would attack it. I was assured that there would absolutely, completely, never in a million chance that it would be very quickly and heavily reinforced after I attacked it, thereby giving Black Company a chance to avenge Smiling Daemon in a strategically superior defensive battle.
So I sat and waited. And waited. By the time it hit 10:30 pm EST I realized my spy, code named 'Bawain the Getrayer', must have made a mistake, and I could leave the area without dishonour by letting Black Company counterattack at a decent battle time having a chance to pounce on that juicy. defenseless caravan.
So, still being alive, my army is still under contract it was decided. The contract is downright murky and ill thought out. Kinda like someone jumped the gun on putting the deal out there....
Edit: My super secret deep undercover spy told me the caravan had actually left the castle, but didn't move, so was buried under some white dots. It just sat there. In the shadow of the castle. Not moving. Almost like a lump of bait... Hmmm.
Well, sorry I didn't see it and moved on. Black Company will have to bottle their uncontrollable rage for awhile (in fact, when I told them of my slip up, they said 'lol', which is an ancient Mayan word for 'Go eat shit ya noob').
