#411 The Breach
Short description
Find Keit at the breach in the royal castle gates
Description
Rest is over, Private {name}. Orders.
You saw the roads yourself. The dead came wave after wave, straight at the city, and they didn't come of their own accord — they were driven. We held, but half the outposts had to be abandoned, and I lost more people than I care to count.
And here's the thing: in all that time not one creature came out of the castle. Not one, {name}. He wasn't defending — he was sending. Something is ripening in there. A seed. That wave was a test, do you understand? Let it ripen and there'll be no city, no camp, and no remains of this island left.
When it quieted down you were nowhere to be found — word was you were still running down stragglers on the outskirts. I couldn't wait, so I sent Keit to the gates. Alone. She's been there since yesterday.
The two of you started this mess together, so the two of you will finish it. Move out to the breach and report to her.
Your orders are simple: kill the seed before the seed kills the island. About face, quick march!

Ah, {name}. There you are.
While you were holding them off, I sat here counting how many creatures would come out of the castle to help their own. Know how many? Not one. The gates are down, the road is open — and silence.
So he didn't raise those dead from here. He raised them right under your feet, from any graveyard he could reach, and he never had to leave his throne to do it. And the court doesn't come out because it's guarding the thing all this was started for.
We blew the gates together, so we go in together. Alone I won't get past the first hall — but four of us might.
