Scout ambushed by the Sausans

Do you know why we Shroud Knights are locked in conflict with the Sausans? It was the native tribes, the Sausans, that caused the most concern when Altinova's Merchant Guild tried to gain control over Mediah. The Sausans first accepted the alliance of Altinova's Merchant Guild and showed good faith by operating the Arena led by Shultz. This peace was short-lived, however, and we soon learned it was merely facade. They threatened and tried to take over Altinova. When their plan failed, they captured the Northern Fortress and cling to that foothold. We are constantly reducing their numbers, but... A recent scouting party came back from their patrol grievously injured. Not one of them returned unscathed, I'm afraid... We cannot predict what the Sausans will do, and this precarious situation has everyone on edge. Can you go and check on our scouts?

Recently our scouts all returned injured. Their injuries are far more severe than we thought. Sausans are unpredictable. Can you go check on our scouts?

This is terrible. Everyone's injured. Adventurer, please listen to me.
