| 279 You have no idea where the Kalborean came from, or why he should attack you so violently, but his attack proves to be both efficient and ruthless. Armed with a long sword he possesses considerable skill and it takes some effort to end the assault and put this leather-clad assailant down. When you are finished the Kalborean lies limp upon the ground, his sword broken in two, his body lifeless. After taking a moment to thank the gods for your survival you commence a quick search of the Scout, but find nothing that might provide a clue to his identity, or his purpose in attacking you. You can only surmise that he was ordered to find you, however that doesn't make any sense, it was the Kalboreans that sent you on this quest after all. Perhaps even the Kalborean command is not fully aware of what the LoreMages are doing? Perhaps the LoreMages have secrets of their own? Who can say, all you know is that it seems every person you encounter on this journey wishes to do you harm. All the more reason you think that it is best to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Calling Pallenten to your side you remount and continue on southwards. Your meal will have to wait till later.
