Ambush!

You finally overcome the Rhattian patrol. In the wagon there was a group of slaves. You decide to train them as soldiers.

Enemy skirmisher: Help, save us please - it's not our fault! Rhatt forced us to.

You: Rhatt?

Enemy: We want to help you!

You: Kill them!

Harold: Wait! These guys could give us valuable information!

You: okay... How do these things work

You hold out the golden object.

Skirmisher: Transporters? We use them to transport to different dimensions.

You: Who is this Rhatt you spoke of

Skirmisher: He arrived a few years ago, and forged the Rhatt clan. Since then he's been forming us up into an army, but nobody knows why. There's nobody here to fight for miles around.

You: Wait... I don't understand.

Harold: I think I just figured it out. This is a parallel reality to our one, except in this one Rhatt killed Caris before he was leader. He must have created a separate reality when he disappeared. In this one he came and he killed Caris before he could become leader.

You: But how come he didn't attack us earlier?

Harold: Time must travel quicker in this dimension. About 30 times as long

You: Wait- That means two weeks have passed already?

Skirmisher: What are you talking about?

You: Doesn't matter. What are those gold things?

You: This is all good but we need to get back before Rhatt brings his army.

Skirmisher: Ah, Rhatt said something like that. The assault begins next week. If you want transporters, there is one way, but it’ll be very hard. Rhatt himself is bringing his army up along the Eastern Path. If we can intercept them in time, we could attack them and possibly defeat them, although I doubt it. It sounds tough but it’s probably our only hope to get any transporters, except attacking the village itself!

You: Let’s do it!
