The expedition members who survived the landing must regroup on the beach, and then find Commander Elleon. I'm getting too old for this, <PCCLASS:lcase>. The reefs, the weather, and those hostiles up on the cliffs have put us in complete disarray. Not exactly the triumphant landing that Commander Elleon planned, eh? We've got to get ourselves organized and get off this beach!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'm ready for action!"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Good to hear. Our first priority is the wounded. You know the drill: triage and then treatment. The medics are strewn across the beach like everything else, and I need status reports. Talk to the medics, deliver supplies to them, and then get back here immediately! Just adding the breath that the seas stole away. Tell Ahdun it's mostly drownings and near-drownings. You brought bandages? Good. Tell Ahdun there's something with teeth out in the deep water.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Keep up the good work."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> About half the troops made it ashore, but only a quarter are in any shape to fight. Tell Ahdun that if anyone else was coming in, they'd be here by now. What kind of idiot quartermaster puts the medics on one ship, but their supplies on another? Oh! That's why you're here. I'll take those supplies—and tell Ahdun I need more. Look at this beach, <PCNAME>. Able-bodied troops are few and far between. I'll get the walking wounded to help the medics out. We need to get you ready to fight.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Are we under attack?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Not at the moment, but does this beach look safe to you? Commander Elleon went ahead with the scouts, but he thought he had an entire expedition behind him. We've got to establish contact with him and regroup. I'm not sending you onward looking like a drowned rat, though. The quartermaster, Popomin, can gear you up with whatever's washed ashore. Hurry, <PCNAME>! Don't kill me! I'm a noncombatant! Wait a minute—you're one of ours! You aren't groaning and coughing up seawater like everyone else, so I figured...never mind. You want gear? Sorry—no <PCCLASS:lcase> gear has washed ashore, unless the centurions grabbed it. Check with them. Gear for <PCCLASS:lcase>s...let's see. Hey, you’re in luck! Take this and put it on. It's not exactly ready for inspection, but it'll keep you safe. Now you look like a proper <PCCLASS:lcase>, not a drowning victim. Report to the adjutant—and tell her that only the wounded are left on the beach. Bah! Storms and shipwrecks! Enemies you can't just stab! I've got just a handful of troopers here. Are the rest of them still coming ashore?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"No, I don't think so."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Heavy casualties, and we aren't even off the beach. Never seen a storm so sudden. We're in complete disarray, and my staff is shell-shocked. Go prod them back to the land of the living and get me some option—pronto. I think the tide is coming in. I'm a soldier, not a fish. If I get out of this alive, I'm moving to the desert.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"The adjutant sent me."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Yeah? Well, tell her that no amount of shouting is gonna end this rain or get our provisions off the ocean floor. My advice? Start praying.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Anything more tangible?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I hear echoes of something roaring up on top of the cliffs. It'd be suicide to go up there unprepared. If you can run and fight, why aren't you with Akrak or Elleon?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"The adjutant sent me."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> She did? Tell her our supplies are in disarray, but don't wait for us to get organized.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Why not?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> When we do figure out what little washed ashore, it's just gonna be bad news. Press on before we know the worst of it, I say. So we shouldn't move, but we shouldn't wait. Remind me why I have assistants? In any case, it's Akrak's decision, not mine. Report to him immediately. By the gods, <PCCLASS:lcase>, you look ready for battle. Let's put you to work. Specifically, I need you to find Elleon.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"The commander?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Yes, Commander Elleon and a few scouts headed into the cave just as the storm was brewing. He probably has no idea how bad things are down here. Elleon is the best fighter I've ever seen, so I'm sure he's alive and well, but I need to know what he's found. And he needs to know that his expedition is scattered across the beach and the bottom of the sea.
