TEAM: Ilias, Matthias, John REPORT DEADLINE: April 5, 2020
ASSIGNMENT: The explosion of refugees coupled with uncertainty surrounding the prospect of shipping safely into the west Waking Sea thanks to the collapse of the Orlesian blockade has caused massive shortages in Cumberland and the surrounding countryside. Riftwatch has gotten word that the Tevinter powers in occupied Val Chevin have prepared a shipment of desperately needed supplies which it intends to send to a refugee encampment West of Cumberland in a bid to curry good will with the rabble their neighbors. Riftwatch is to assault and take control of the caravan and deliver aid to the refugees themselves.
DETAILS: The agent in Val Chevin either got the date wrong, or someone changed plans. Either way, the supply caravan will beat Riftwatch to the narrow road crossing where the assault was meant to take place, and the team will be forced to play catch up. When they finally reach the supply train, they'll find that without the tactical advantage of the crossing to aid their assault, the supplies from Val Chevin are simply too well guarded to successfully hijack.
At that juncture, the team will have a choice: either destroy the supplies from a distance (like with fire maybe), preventing Tevinter from using them for PR but also preventing the refugees from receiving aid, or allow the the enemy force to successfully pass through to the refugee camp. They won't have much time to make a decision before the caravan travels far enough that they risk any efforts to intervene being visible to distant watchmen and lookouts, which would mean both ensuring the refugees don't get the supplies and letting Tevinter have credit for trying.
If they would attempt some sort of Plan C, reply here to let us know what it is!
