Summary

Rook and Meira targeted a noble caravan guarded by mercenaries. Rook disguised as one of the mercenaries took their place along the caravan, infiltrating the escort unnoticed. Once embedded, she sabotaged coordination and sowed confusion. Unplanned and uncoordinated - Meira launched an ambush from outside the caravan while Rook turned the mercenaries against each other, splitting them into two hostile groups. The fighting escalated into chaos, with the mercs believing they were under internal betrayal rather than external attack. The caravan was left in ruins. Nine mercenaries were killed, while the nobles survived the initial assault. The attackers left no clear trail, making the incident appear as a violent internal collapse rather than a planned strike. Meira and Rook robbed the nobles and left them there to fend for themselves in the Taethryn swamps.
