Where do we go from here?

The siege of Brownsville left a mess of the town and it's countryside.  The aftermath left smouldering ruins, piles of dead charred remains and screams of help from townsfolk and soldiers.  Raddick and Nera tended to the casualties and needs inside the town walls.  Pas took a limping burrow out to the farmlands to assess the damages beyond the wall. 
     The group met up again with Captain Pierce who insisted that they head back to the ruins of the keep to dispatch of any leftovers.
     "Look..." Fox replied
     "Listen if you all can not handle it then you might find a suitable task in protecting the caravans heading to the dwarven ruins." the Captain smiled.
     As the conversation began to heat up a rider approached with great speed and came to an unhealthy stop.  As the rider raised his hand to speak, his eyes rolled back into his skull, his body twitched and he fell from the horse.  Groth reached down and picked him up by the scruff of his jacket.  Auren slapped the man across the face and his eyes shot wild.
     "Captain Pierce, I have news!" he gasped for breath.  "I am Dingleberry Seawell, Pirates from the coast have moved inland.  They are ravaging our supply lines.  There are also fires in the swamp, with every passing hour they get larger and move closer."
     Fox pounded his fist into his palm, "Swamp Pirates!"
     "The worst kind," replied Phae.
     "I have sent two parties of men out to investigate those swamps," Captain Pierce lowered his head, "they have yet to return."
     "We will ride back to seawell with you Dingleberry." Fox stated.
     "Impossible, I must continue on to Stret, official orders." Dingleberry remounted his horse and sped away.
     "Seawell is too far away and the fires are getting closer and closer," the Captain stated, "I need you to go to the swamp and find out what is going on."
     They prepared supplies and commandeered horses for thier trip.  With Nera, Raddick and Pas hard at work rebuilding the town and extra set of hands would be needed.  Groth and Auren searched for 3Dub.  Upon finding him in his filth covered state, they decided to toss him in the lake before loading him up with armor.

The Road to Hanset...
