Description

Before Andorhal, we must tackle the advancing Scarlet Crusade menace from Hearthglen. They've made camp between Felstone Field and Dalson's Tears, making us risk conflict against both the Scourge and the Crusade at once. My plan is to play them off of each other by sending you to destroy the command tent they've set up; use some Flame in a Bottle from this box of incendiaries. Once razed, plant this Scourge banner by the tent. With some luck, they'll ignore us and focus on the Scourge for vengeance.

Progress

A surprise raid on the Scarlet Crusade's tenuous forward position will give us a buffer of time to be able to march on Andorhal. I trust you are here to report success! Once this is successfully executed, we will need to work diligently and quickly. We do not have the materiel and manpower to fight both the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade at the same time if they do not buy our little ruse.

Completion

Finely executed, <player>. Your attack on the Scarlet Crusade will buy us time. I have sent one of my best scouts out to watch over the camp and make sure that the Crusade forces that come to reinforce the position will take the bait. With the pressure on us lessened, we should now finally be able to risk a mission into Andorhal itself, and an important one at that. I'd very much like it if you'd perform this one as well, based on your success to date.
