Later in the Last Week of Gwirith, T.A. 3018
It was easy enough to track the Radlaw bandits down.
They are reckless, too used to preying on the innocent and the weak.
We climbed a nearby hill to scout the camp.Carmiriel spotted the lookout first and pointed him out. I drew an arrow and loosed it...A clean shot, quiet as a whisper on the wind.
Before I even lowered my bow, I saw Carmiriel already moving through the camp.She cut down two guards like they were nothing. A moment later, the Captain fell too, before he could even turn around.
She never stops surprising me.
We have traveled together for many years, yet she always shows me a new side of her.
I try my best to keep her safe, but more often, I think she is the one keeping me safe.
It did not take long to find what we were looking for.
A bloodstained note in the captain’s tent told us the truth..These bandits were working for Uruks from the Old South Road.
It has been a long day.
We need to rest while we can.
The Uruks will not be as easy to deal with as these bandits.
Another night falls...and we are still here..
-B.
