The Chronicle of Heroes ~ Of Fiends and Shadows

[The Midgard Times]

Tonight, A siege took place at the mountains north of Einbroch. The full details of what happened remain undisclosed by the Schwartzvald Government, but we do have reports from unofficial sources regarding what happened.

International Agent Adelaide Adlersflugel and her troops met up at Comodo tonight. She revealed she was the one who posted the mysterious notice on the billboards some days ago recruiting volunteers for the mission, since their numbers have been at an all-time low after Kushiel's onslaught in Midcamp.

After explaining the mission, which involved laying siege to Ostellos' base in the mountains, and informing of the possible threat of death if they fail, the team warped to the wilds north of Einbroch. They moved stealthily through the mountainside, eventually encountering a female assassin cross. She lured them with cryptic words to two magical pillars, which drained their energies and sent dark shockwaves that devastated the team. Upon destroying the spellweaving towers, they chased after the woman, apprehending followers of Ostellos on the way.

The supposed base was empty, save for a few zealots, leading Adelaide and the rest to believe it was all a trap. They continued running after the assassin girl however, who lead the group to Hanz Von Abendroth, the cursed, mindless follower of Erebos, and apparently, Ostellos' full-time goon. The fight was short, as is usually the case with Abendroth, but some claim he muttered something along the lines of "She'll be pleased". Who he was referring to, it's not known.

In the end, the assassin woman and Abendroth vanished, but all, if not most of the troops at the base were arrested. Ostellos' whereabouts remain unknown.
