The Crimeans land in the Pontus in a week's time. The locals know nothing of the staff save that it is far to the south, in the Levant...

[Prodigal]

The troupe departs for the Levant.

[Barry Goldwater]

As the expedition camps out in Cappadocia, sentries report an armed warband approaching from the east - bandits, no doubt.

[Prodigal]

The Archimandrite speaks to his men, preparing them for what will likely be a large battle. They wait.
