Wulfhamers meet some unaware Bregowares

After giving a few seconds to go over Brands plan in her mind, Vaenosa turned to the others."I shall emerge first from the bush, after these strangers enter our camp. This will give you time Brand to come from behind and trap one with your net. Try for the one that looks in charge. Incana you stay hidden until Brand begins to move, then if you can stay your throw, render the other unconscious.It will be easier to question one not two people. The three of you decoys wait until the last possible moment to flee, we need these men to be almost in the middle of the camp before I step out and threaten them with my bow. We do not want them to fly and warn others of our presence here." The others looked at each other in silence, then nodded their agreements to Vaenosa's plan.

Everyone quickly mounted their horses and got into position.The tension in the camp was almost visible. They all sat quietly and the waiting began.

Then came the familiar sound of hoove beats drawing nearer. Vaenosa nodded to Dorran and the others, letting them know to wait patiently. Looking across the camp Vaenosa could make out Brand preparing his net. To her right side not far off knelt Incana, she was ridgid, but she gave an incouraging smile before she readied her stone.

The men where approaching quickly now, they had caught sight of the decoys."Hey there you! Stop where you are!" One of the strangers shouted.Vaenosa watched as the decoys began to turn and look towards the men. That's it...slowly now...not to fast.....come on....
When the men had entered into the heart of the camp Dorran, Leod and the young Athwen, sped from the camp. It was now or never.

Vaenosa nodded to Incana and stepped from her hiding spot into the open. Her bow readied she said, "You there! Who are you and what is your business?" She shouted loudly and with more confidence then she felt at the moment. The men seemed startled at her appearance and turned towards her.At the moment they turned Brand was out of hiding and gave the net a heavy heave, it landed over the man that had shouted earlier, with ease. Before Brand had secured the net a blur flew through the air. With a knock the stone hit the other rider square in the forehead, just as they had planned the man fell from his mount unconsious. Without a pause Vaenosa ran for the unconsious man and nudged him with her foot. Brand had secured the net and was breathing hard as he looked down at the man he had captured.

Moving towards Nay, Vaenosa pulled from his back her large knife. Grabbing the unconsious man by his hair Vaenosa drug him towards the man in the net, who was shouting and cursing.The moment he saw Vaenosa with the young man he became quiet. She got close enough so the man could see her face. She thrust the large blade towards the netted man. "You see this here blade?" She asked with a twisted smile. Proping the unconsious man up she placed the blade to his throat. " I shall cut his throat and make you watch him bleed to death before I turn this blade on you. You will tell us your business here and to whom you swear alligence! Hurry! My hand cannot be stayed forever!"
